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.

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

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.

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

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'
