"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
She made sure everything looks how she's dreamed of it. She dreamed about them having sometime with her husband in the backyard having picnic with her new found recipe book. Zayn's grandmother sent an Indian recipe book through Mu'ayyad when he transited there from China. The book has amazing foods and many kind of delicious desserts. After finding out that she could cook Indian food without having problem nor did she burn the kitchen down, everything turned out perfectly good. Now she's setting a small picnic for them with Khumais sleeping soundly inside the house and his monitor is turned on.She beamed, looking at the Uthappam waiting to be devoured. Checking herself once again at the floor length mirror that's in the living room, Nana fixed her new sari leaving her stomach bare and the dupatta is down from her head. Her hair is loose and longer making her look like an Indian even adding vermilion in between the cut on her forehead like they do in India, she made sur
Zayn and Nana are sitting on the couch, watching the Bollywood film 'Manikarnika'. She has her hand in the huge bowl of popcorn and her other hand wrapped around Zayn's torso. He will kiss her forehead once in a while before they continue to watch and comment here and there. Amidst watching the movie, Zayn's phone rang on the couch next to Nana. She peeked her head to see who is calling but then met a heartbreak for Hidaya's name was blinking and her appetite just vanished.She threw the phone at him and stood up. She bit her lip for mistakingly throwing it because she was blinded with jealousy but brush it off and walk to the kitchen to do only god knows what. After looking around the kitchen for the nth time, she finally settle on taking frozen yoghurt but still didn't get back her appetite which frustrates her to no end.What frustrates her more is that Zayn is still talking to Hidaya on phone and didn't bother checking on her. What is so important that
Nana shuffled on her feet not knowing what to do. Trapped in a situation where she's never been in, she only stared at Hidaya as she walked in and stand next to her. She wants to slap Hidaya again, yell at her and demand why she called her husband yesterday in the middle of their movie night but she didn't."Hello." Hidaya hesitantly whispered from beside her, also looking very uncomfortable about the whole scenario."Assalamu Alaikum." Nana almost rolled her eyes, seeing how ridiculous she's feeling. Why was she nervous and uncomfortable in the first place?"Look, I'm sorry about whatever happened between us. I really don't know what came over me, but I swear I'm not in between you two. I'll never come in between you two ever again! I called him yesterday to talk about some things so that I can clear everything between us. I'm very sorry if it caused any inconvenience between you two." Hidaya was rambling from what
Nana drop her phone on the bed and went to take a relaxing shower before Zayn comes back. He'll be there in thirty minutes and she should be done by then insha'Allah. She remove her sweats and turn on the shower, taking a long bath whilst thinking about Mu'ayyad's words. He loved her since the first time he bumped into her? That is very new and it is making her uncomfortable but she'd still feel tingles after hearing those words, in this case, seeing those words written broadly on her phone screen.She stopped thinking when she heard the door to their opening, that means Zayn is back. She shut off the shower and wrap a fluffy red towel around her and one on her head before walking out of the ensuite. She saw him looking at her phone, she closed her eyes and pray, hoping that he'll not mistakenly bump into her chat with his cousin, that would cause a huge scene and fight which she is never looking forward to."Mami?" He called her name, bro
NOT EDITED."Ahh..." Nana clenched her teeth as she held her head tightly, wanting the voices and images to leave her head but they ain't leaving and her head started to ache really badly which made her shout and got Zayn's attention as he finished settling Khumais in his bed."What's wrong, mami?" He yelled, running to her rescue as she's about to hit her head on the head on the island. He left her perfectly okay as she insist on finishing the food only to be back because of her cry of anguish which tugged at his heart."The im-imag-es.." She manage to sputter as he took her bridal style to the couch. He stilled and tended when she said the images, it's time for everything to come to an end then."What about it?" He curiously asked, even though he knew what is happening, he wants to be hundred percent sure she's regained everything before calling his mother in-law for help. He can'
