Noya froze in her place, her eyes widened like saucers. Guilt and fear rushed through her veins. Her legs started to shiver. A girl is always in danger when she feels insecure. A myth revolved in her mind, creating chaos. Tears welled up in her eyes. Knowing that a stranger was present in the same room, she felt exposed and vulnerable. Barq swiftly turned around, his back facing her. He shut his eyes tightly, removing his coat. Without opening his eyes, he stretched his hand out to her.

"Here, put this on, Miss Noya," he said in his calm voice. Though he was shocked and confused by the weird situations that occurred when he was with her, he couldn't ignore the fact that she was a woman and women are meant to be respected. Being the most humble person on earth right now, he took a deep breath, sensing her sobs. "It's alright, Miss Noya. Accidents do happen," he said, nodding with his eyes still shut.

Noya covered her mouth at his words. More sobs escaped her mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe. She took the coat with trembling hands and quickly put it on. "Thank you, Sir. I owe you my life," she mumbled with guilt and insecurity.

"Anytime," he mumbled and headed to his wardrobe. Meanwhile, Noya toddled to her room. Soon, Barq took a long bath, as today Amayra was not in the room to bang the door and ask questions. He relaxed. Meanwhile, the door of his room unlocked. He mentally wished it should not be his princess, or else she would bombard him with questions during daddy's bath time. Which was her favorite game! He felt the footsteps towards the right drawer. He narrowed his eyes, standing under the running shower.

"Daddy, game time," she announced, making him close his eyes. "Of course, love. How can I breathe in peace when I live with a tornado!" he said sarcastically, making Amayra pout.

She took out his tablet, unlocking it with her face. She giggled at the wallpaper. It was her daddy dressed up in a saree at her 3rd birthday, as per her wish. "Daddy, what are you doing? Are you missing me?" she asked, cupping her cheeks and laying on her stomach.

"Of course, I do miss you, love," he said, chuckling at her current position. His daughter is way too self-obsessed.

"Daddy, shall we get Miss Nanny admitted to a school?" she asked, playing a game on the tablet. He raised his eyebrows at her words. "Why? Do you need her clumsy company?" he asked, rolling his eyes, making Amayra pout. "Daddy, no bad words!" she said in a harsh tone. "Clumsy" is a bad word for Amayra. He chuckled and shook his head, wrapping his towel around his waist. Water droplets dropped from his well-washed, thick hair, sliding down his face and jaw, making him look hotter. He blessed his princess with his presence.

Amayra giggled cutely at his naked chest. She quickly stood up, spreading her arms. She loves to hug Daddy when he's all fresh! Kids and their obsessions.

The father and daughter shrugged at the closed door. Noya had locked herself in her room. Amayra pouted at her daddy, and he shrugged. "Miss nanny, did I hurt you?" asked Amayra with a small voice. Barq was amazed. His girl was never sorry to him, but to his nanny, she was something else. He felt a bit shocked.

"Umm. Let her be alone for some time. I mean, let's get you an ice cream," Barq says to lighten up her mood. Amayra pouted and nodded no. Sighing, he marched back to his room. With so much effort, he made her sleep.

Sighing with a restless heart, he took his laptop and booked their flights to his hometown. Dialing his best friend's number, he made sure to arrange everything until Umayyad's case gets settled down. As he was writing things down, he heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in," he says, turning around. There comes Noya, all wrapped up in a shawl. She knew what dignity means. His eyes softened at her. She softly handed him some money, to which he raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you for the dinner last night," she mumbles, chewing her lip. His eyes are fixed on her face, her puffy eyes and swollen face. He diverts his gaze, his mind occupied with some unpleasant thoughts. Being single for 30 years straight is not easy, especially for a man. After all, humans have desires. He licks his lips. "This is not necessary," he says with his deep voice, causing her cheeks to turn hot and red.

"Sit," he motions her towards the couch.

Biting her lips, she sat, fidgeting with her fingers. "See, Miss Noya, we have to leave this city for some days, or even months," he said, closing his tablet. She looked at him, blinking her eyelashes. "Why? Are you going to rob a bank?" she questioned, making him narrow his eyes at her. She looked down, closing her eyes. "Why do you even open your mouth, Noya!?" she mumbled to herself.

"Yes, we are going to rob a bank, so that you learn counting well," he said teasingly. She glared at him. "What do you mean? I know I am weak at math, but that doesn't mean you... you..." she blabbered but stopped in between, feeling his intense gaze on her. She shut her mouth, making him smile, which he quickly recovered from.

"Pack all your important things," he says, winding up their talk, so that he couldn't lose control or say things he's not supposed to say. Noya nodded and walked out. He stood up, shaking his head at the coins she gave him, which brought a smile to his face. He counted the coins, which were not even half of the amount! He chuckled and removed his tank top.

On her way, Noya forgot to say goodnight to her boss. She turns back to his room, toddling to his room. She peeked and yelled, "Good night, sir!" Barq stood frozen! Noya's eyes widened at his half-naked self! "Sorry!" she yelled back and ran back to her room. He sighed and covered his chest, mumbling, "This clumsy girl!"
