Barq's hands left in between, with a suspense created by her antics made his heart and mind block. She parted away with glossy eyes, ranking her eyes on his charming face she again hugged him tightly. He came back to his senses, couldn't help much with the situation he wrapped his arms slowly around her. He hesitantly patted her hand. Hesitanting, that his touch may make her uncomfortable.

The head cop cleared his throat, breakung their small moment. Barq eyed the old man, he softly gripped her arms and parted her away from him. Her face was worth seeing. With fat tears and blowing nose! She looked cute, she wiped away her nose with her sleeve making him mentally cringe at the situation.

"Mr. Barq we need your sign here" he says. Barq nods and signed while Noya stood by his side, clutching his cuff. Barq eyed her over his shoulder, "Calm down Ms Noya" he assured making her nod. "Ok sir if you say so" she replies in a stammering voice.

As he completes the formalities. The two men shook hands. The old hag curious about his appearance for a nanny, would is not justifying, he asked  " Mr. Barq mind asking me...

Barq being aware of his thoughts with his curiosity plastered on his face, he says, "Its my duty to take care of my people who work for me day and night, despite this she is family" he ends up all the questions making the old hag nod understanding manner. Gripping her wrist they turned to leave the place that gave her not so good memories.

Noya thanked her lord million times. Her happy tears made her smile with teary eyes. Barq eyed her, he felt pity for her. He should have not left her alone. "Thank you sir for coming, I owe you my life sir. You are the best sir. You have a big heart sir...

As she said her thank you speech, toddling behind him. She lands on the ground with a thud making his eyes widened! This girl is always soo clumsy. She groaned as her chin hits the ground, resulting it to bleed.

He quickly leans down, making her sit. Her chin was bleeding badly, he removes his handkerchief and placed on her chin. She winced more. With her twinkling eyes she looked at him, while he suspected her injury. "Sir i am soo grateful to have you" she continues her thank you speech to which he glared at her. "Ms. Noya my ears will bleed now, please stop your thanks giving speech" he asked her raising his eyebrows. To which she nodded pouting.

He shooked his head and helped her stand up. Holding her hand again he made sure she doesn't fall again!

As they reached near his car. Barq found Amayra sleeping peacefully in Hubaab's arms. While his step brother looked tried and exhausted, seems like his amor played tricked him with her questions.

Hubaab saw his brother coming towards them with a girl of average height. He eyed the girl who looked bit familiar. He shrugged and placed Amayra back on the seat. He took the charge to drive. Meanwhile Noya took a seat beside Amayra. She was too exhausted and she now need a sleep. Barq sat on the passenger seat.

"Did she bothered you?" Barq asked putting his seat belt. "Yeah, you better not plan another kid like her" Hubaab commented making Barq chuckled. His eyes met her eyes who was already looking at him.

She looked away, her eyelids turned heavy now. As the drive started. The cold air hits her soft skin, lullabies her to sleep.

60 minutes later. They finally reached their home town. Barq sighed and hoped down the car. He found Noya & Amayra sleeping peacefully. Hubaab too hoped down the car and was about to go inside when Barq called him. "Take Amor to my room" Hubaab eyed the naughty kid, scrunching his nose he denied, "i can carry a stranger rather than your kiddo monster"

Barq frowned at the words. He frowned at the idea of Hubaab lifting Noya in his arms. His heart made a twist and turn clearly unsatisfied.

Hubaab swiftly lifted Noya and his arms. Flexing his strength he walked inside. With half heart and unsettled thoughts, Barq carried Amayra to his room. Placing her on the bed. He quickly stood up to check upon Noya.

As he marched to her room. He found their old helper bandaging her chin. While she was sleeping peacefully. He sighed and turned to leave only to bump with Hubaab. He raised his eyebrows at the teenager who smirked and left.

The day settled on a good note. Noya woke up after a long and relaxing nap. She stretched her muscles. While Amayra peeked into her room with a big smile. As soon as Noya's eyes fell on her she squealed and both the girls shared a breath suffocating hug.

"I missed Annie!" Says Amayra with pouty face. "I missed you too Amor!" Noya says back pinching her cheeks.

Meanwhile the care taker of this mansion knocks getting their attention and their talk pause.

"Oh you woke up my child, get freshen up so that you can have your dinner, here are some cloths that master asked me get for you" she says politely placing the cloths aside on the bed.

Noya smiles and shakes her head in yes. Amayra frowned seeing her Annie's chin drapped with a bandage. "What's wrong?"
"I just tripped you know" Noya replied with a cute pout. Meanwhile Barq passes by her room, talking to someone on a call. Amayra quickly gets off her lap, and runs to her daddy.

Noya skips to the washroom and took a quick bath.

While here Amayra looked here and there, searching for her daddy. As the mansion was new, and she had been here occasionally. She pouted at the long corridor. As she walks through the corridor. Only to bump with a teenager who was coming in running speed laughing over something. He was Hubaab's best friend. The two bumped and Amayra was about to fall on the ground, when Hubaab again held her chubby hand.

"Hey you little human, can't you manage your own weight and stand? Why do you keep falling?" He asked in a boring tone. Amayra shots a glare.

"Did you just called me a rolling pin?" She asked keeping her hands on her hips. The two teenagers exchanged looks and bursted into laughter. Amayra rolled her eyes and stomped her feet, "I will complain to Daddy"

"That?" Hubaab asked in a challenging tone.

"That his daughter is a rolling pin!" The other boy said and the two laughed sharing a hifi. They ruffled her hair making her glare at them and walked out.

Meanwhile Barq appeared from no where. He ruffled her hair, only to get a loud whine from his daughter. "What?" He asked with confusion.

"Nothing! Don't. talk. to. me!" She says gritting her teeths. Her cheeks turned red due to anger. Barq controlled his smile at this little human who was looking hella cute.

"Why? What did I do love?" He asked kneeling down at her level.

"Your brother said I am Rolling pin!" She complained in a duh tone.

Barq couldn't help but smile. His brother was getting settled with his family, seems cute.

"Daddy I swear if you laugh!? I will never ever talk to you and marry Ben 10!" She warns him making him frown at the word marry.

"Alright, alright, come to daddy, see i am not laughing baby, I will scold him for this alright?" He asked scooping her in his armsm placing kisses on her forehead. She nodded leaning on his shoulder.

While here Noya combed her wet hair, taking her scarf she walks out hesitantly as now it was time for dinner. The dinning area was huge as expected. Barq, Amayra and Hubaab with his friend was already seated.

She awkwardly walks towards tge dinning area. Amayra smiles and hopes down her chair, dragging her by her wrist she made her sit beside Barq.

To which his cousin narrowed her eyes. "Who is she?" She asked with hatred gaze. Noya smiled awkwardly at everyone. Barq and Amayra threw the worst glare, "she is family!"
