DASH OF DELISH. . .
Stepping into the cooking school 'Dash of Delish' Nana took a whiff of the smell. She thought the place will smell so many types of dishes but to her surprise, it smells chocolate cookies with milky coffee. That alone made her stomach rumble, an onomatopoeic sound with the need to eat everything around the place but suppressed it and continue to walk deeper inside where she saw a receptionist sitting with a frown etched on her brows. She's looking deep into something in her laptop so Nana took a little more time to look around the lobby.
There is a counter bench right in front of her. A very long one that curved to where the receptionist is sitting at. Under the other long bench that's facing her, there are so many cakes, cookies, cupcakes, coffees, waffles and some biscuits. Everything is very clear to her eyes because of the stainless, unmarked, d
"Hey! It's been so long." Mu'ayyad beamed, looking at his cousin's gorgeous wife perched quietly on the sofa but she lowered her head immediately after smiling up at him. If only he could find a wife like this and he acted fast in the past. They still chat on phone but he feels like it's not enough for him."Yeah. How are you?" She asked almost inaudibly because she's shying away from talking to a man who isn't her husband."I'm perfectly okay." He continue to beam and trudged into the room just when Zayn burst the door open.He didn't like what he was seeing but he kept quite because he trust his wife more than anyone in his life. He smiled and pecked her forehead, as though he wants to claim her in front of his cousin. They're friends and cousins but if anyone is to be talking to his wife like this, he'd do anything to make sure that person is ten miles away from her. He only did that but next time –if there'll ever be one– he will kiss her f
"No, wake up." Zayn whined in Nana's ear early in the morning. Since after they prayed subh, he couldn't go back to sleep whilst she's soundly sleeping next to him."No, go away." She continue to sleep but not really sleep since she has already talk, she won't fall back asleep."Come, let's go." He dragged her out of the bed when she opened her eyes to look up at him with annoyance, irritation clear in her orbs but he didn't pay any heed to it and kept dragging her to the bathroom."It's only 06:00AM, why am I up?" She whined as Zayn continue to splatter water to her face to wake her up."Because, your husband here couldn't sleep and he wants to start going to the gym like you instructed but he wants to go with you. I'm I not amazing?" He grinned at the mirror as she shoot a hard quelling glare his way."I hate you." She pouted, her eyes dropping slightly but she is not sleepy. Why did she even ask him to start going to the gym? Oh, she wants to se
"What happened?" Nana blinked, looking up at Zayn who looks relieved to see her awake and also not in pain. She sat up and look around, seeing first aid kit and water."You blank out when your memories triggered but the doctor said it's a good thing that it happened. You're regaining your memories, and I'm so happy." He beamed, taking her face in both his hands and cupped her cheeks. He placed a kiss on her nose, making her blush before he pulled away."I'm also happy! I want to get over this memories." She sighed before curling herself in a ball in his arms. He felt so cuddly and sweet that she can't help herself but do just that."Maaysa and Rukayyah will be here soon." He whispered to her after some minutes of silence between them, they could hear Khumais' voice as he kept talking gibberish around the whole house."The co-wives." Nana giggled, Zayn only chuckled at her before standing up with her in his arms. He walked out of the room and to the mini l
Nana got ready to go to 'Dash Of Delish' in her favorite pearl trim belted button dress, a-line with pearl bishop sleeves. She's applying a little kohl and nude lipstick around her lips before walking out of the room to take Khumais to her in-laws.Zayn left earlier saying he has a lot of work to do today and he wants to finish everything before Maaysa's wedding and that is just a week from today. Nana is graduating from the cooking school in two days and she can't wait for that. Asma told them that they were fast learners and so, they will graduate just after a month and a week."Good morning, mine." She chirped at a groggy looking Khumais who just walked himself put of his room and met her in the dining room where she placed his cereal.He blinked at her, trying to remove all the traces of sleep looking g cute as he did so. Her heart tugged at that, she doesn't want to think of him leaving her all alone after spending so much time with him. She talked to
"Come let me give you the story of my family and how we grew up." Zayn randomly said to Nana from his position on the bed while she's sitting on the couch trying to type something in his Mac about the new recipe they were asked to bring with tomorrow as deadline since they'll be graduating the next day. She's been going up and down with Maaysa and Rukayyah and they didn't let her do her own homework. She's also not serious!"Really?" That brightens her solemn mood. Even though she knew she was supposed to be creating a dish, she can't help but feel like she needs to know what he's going to say. It's like he's opening up more to her and wants her to see their past even though it doesn't matter."Yup, now come here." He opened his arms widely, touching the headboard with his knuckled in process.Nana raced into his arms and the force made them both tumble in the middle of the bed, thanking God that Khumais didn't want to sleep with them that day or they'd sc
"I don't feel sleepy at all, cherub." Nana mumbled to Zayn from his chest as she lie her head down on it. He made them sleep the whole afternoon off and now they both can't sleep a wink. Maybe with even the nerves of graduating from her cooking school tomorrow. She don't see why Asma want to invite people just for graduating but she said that's how it is and it's mostly family members and close relatives."Same here, mami. What should we do though?" He asked, continuing to rub his hand up and down her back and up to her hair to give her scalf a gentle massage."We should go for a long night run. What do you think?" She beamed, sitting up and looking at him with her eyes like a child waiting to be asked to take the whole jar of cookie. She looks so cute and he can't deny her her wishes even if he wants to. She knew how much he likes going on a night run but stopped after their marriage, he told her that and now she wants to do it with him. What a better way to spend wit
"Cherub, which one should I wear?" Nana asked Zayn with a cute pout etched on her lips, looking adorable as she held two sarees in her hands –Cotton Silk Printed Saree with Blouse Piece and Hand Block Printed Saree."The cotton silk one is finer and you won't have problem closing your stomach." He advised, looking up from his laptop wearing his wire glasses making him look sexier."Uhm, you're right." She agreed and began to strip out of her jallabiya but Zayn stopped her. Is she trying to make him do something they shouldn't do right now? He closed his eyes and accompany her to their walk in closet so she could change there."Poor baby!" She called out from the closet with her tease dripping making him turned on, he couldn't stop himself when he barged into the closet only to find her in her bra and shorts.Damn, damn, damn, he's so damned! Why did he walk in in the first place? He look from her hair, down to her slender long neck before goin
Nana didn't feel at ease with her husband sitting with his cousin sisters all around him, so she find somewhere she could spy on them. They're all beautiful and it's not like she's insecure about their love, but she hates seeing girls around him even if they're his cousins. They're not his mahram and that's that. She sat down next to the bride and her co-wife where she could see them clearly. If Hidaya wasn't sitting there, she would've been more sated and happy but with Hidaya inches away from her husband, she doesn't trust her one bit. She doesn't even respect personal space and could see her husband moving away from time to time which made her grin.Zayn stood up after mumbling an excuse to them -from how he moved- to answer his phone call. A few minutes later, he wasn't back and Hidaya stood up and follow the same direction as he did. Nana groaned before excusing herself from the tensed girls, she will give them some lectures later because now, she wants to see what
