With time, Barq was getting habitual of her surroundings, with some unease in a corner of his heart. Sometimes made him question, Why would she never enquire about his past. Witnessing Noya playing the sacred role of a mother in Amayra's life made him feel less worried. They were bonding more and stronger. While Ummayad's sudden arrival and his steps of legal actions to claim right over Amayra was making him tense.

With long sighs, he rubbed his forehead. Today was the last night, as tomorrow would be the hearing of their cases. He was much tensed. As no expect him, was aware about this mess.

Though, his friend Rohan made everything accordingly. But still, a small fear to loss his daughter was making him restless.

Meanwhile the door opened revealing Noya, with a hot sizzling coffee. His eyes followed her each move like every day making her gulp and feel that loud heartbeat. She didn’t even once lifted her eyes.

"Where is Amayra?" He questioned flipping the file pages and shutting it down.

"She is with Hubaab" she replied in a small tone.

"Are you free? Can we talk for some minutes?" He questioned raising his eyesbrows. She gave a small nod.

"Have a seat, Noya" He said. While she turned around to take a seat directly infront of him.

He cleared his throat, making her turn to him with raising eyebrows. "What happen?" She questioned innocently.

"Come, sit here" He says making her eyes widened with shock. As he tapped his thigh.

"Are you indirectly asking me to sit on your lap?" She asked crossing her arms near her chest. Making him chuckle a her cute pout. "No! I am not Noya" He answered with pure innocence.

"Are you sure?" She asked narrowing her eyes.

"Yes of course. I am gentleman" He says innocently sipping the coffee. It was amazing. He instantly felt a grin stretching on his lips. "OK I agree with what you say, but I have a demand. Will you fulfill it?" She asked playing with her fingers.

"Okay, go ahead" He asked narrowing his eyes.

"Can you get me that chocolate which you got for Amayra. It was soo tasty!" She blurted with dreamy eyes. An idea crossed his mind. He smirked.

He nodded agreeing. She was soo childish. "Noya tell me one thing" He again asked making her nod. "Sit on my lap" He commands making her gasp.

"One minute you are disappointing me with your talks and the other minute you are ordering me, in conclusion you are just irritating me" she scoffed pouting and stood up to leave. He chuckled in his deep husky voice. And held her wrist.

He softly pulled her into her lap. Her small body crushed with his strong one. His strong cologne made her feel goosebumps all around her body.

"You want chocolate right..

"Noo!" She whined making his laugh now. Within these days, he learnt soo much about her. She hated being touchy.

He laughed as she stood up and ran like Donald duck!

"Ewwww" she shrugged shoulders as she run upstairs. As soon as she entered Amayra's room. A soft pillow hits her face as a welcome treatment.

She heared two loud gasped. One was amayra and second one was Hubaab.

"Mom, its uncle Hubaab" Amayra claim clearly stepping back from the mess she already created.

"What!? No! Noya trust me. This little human is too naughty! She picked up fight with me and now she is blaming me" He blabbered as Noya glared at the two.

"No mommyyyy" Amayra pouted making innocent face. Noya shook her head. "Stop this. And now clean up all this" she warned making them nod. Amayra nodded. She quickly jumped down on the floor, directly on Hubaab's foot making him scream like a girl. The two bursted into laughter.

It was a perfect family scene. That brought serene to Barq's heart. Sliding his hands into the pockets. He smiled handsomely at them.

Soon the dinner it was time for dinner with Amayra's awkward questions for Noya and Barq. Like why don't they sleep on bed together? As they make sure to put her in between them on the bed.

Noya was stunned by her questions. Barq couldn’t help but chuckled. "Sweety your mommy is not habitual of your daddy by her side" He said as he eats his food.

Noya hissed and whispered, "shhh! You should not spill the beans to her! She is just a kid" she whined making him smile.

"No mommy! I should know everything. I am good girl! And a big girl now" she says pouting.

Hubaab rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, daddy come here" she whispered softly pulling him down at her. Barq leaned towards her highchair.

"Daddy I need to visit doctor!" She says pouting.

"Why is that so?" He asked knowing she must be up for something else.

"I don't have boobs, like mommy. They are soft and squishy" she smiled cheekily saying this. Noya gasped and tried to push his hand away.

Barq choked on his food! While Hubaab looked here and there. Awkwardness crowding the room.

"Amayra. Stop it" barq says in a warning tone. Noya was completely stunned. She quickly shook her head at her words and stood up to leave.

Barq sighed and thought to give her some space.

Jiffles later when their daughter slept. Noya was reading a book when Barq entered the room. Making her heart skip the beat.

"I am sorry for her words. I believe you should give her some space, show her that you are angry with her. She should learn some things. The boundaries, limits and timings" that made her frown. "But she is just a kid. I will make her understand will politeness" she answered making him nod.

With no further words exchanged the two walked towards their sides and drafted into sleep.

While the next morning, Barq was up early as he hardly had a good sleep. As his mind was occupied with the case issues and some fear to lose Amayra. With a heavy heart he put on his coat and ruffling her hair. He bid her bye.

Things may change since now. Or even may not. He was restless. Not knowing what exactly the future hods for them. For their family.
