I walked into Nani's room playing nervously with my hands. How am I going to apologise for yesterday? Where will I start from? I had been rude to an extent and I knew I must have looked like someone who lacked manners to her. I shut the door gently then stepped further into the room. Nani sat on the recliner, resting her back and extended her legs in front of her.

"What can I do for you Noor?" she asked, her voice tired.

"Nani" I walked towards her, my hands fidgeting. "About yesterday, I am sorry" I bowed my head.

From my eyelashes, I looked at Nani. Nani sighed, placing a hand under her jaw, her stare daunting that I moved slowly from one foot to another. Silence lingered in the room. My inner havoc increased causing my stomach to churn. After what felt like eternity, Nani laughed throwing her head to and fro.

I peered my eyes at her with confusion. What is funny? I just apologised and she laughed.

"Noorie" she laughed wiping away her tears. "Did you really think I was angry?" she asked sitting up.

My eyes widened at her words as I looked up at her. She is not angry?

"I was never angry. I am just guilty for suspecting you and believing Tubassum's words at one point yesterday until Caroline cleared everything"

"You are not angry?" My lips broke into a smile. Nani nodded her head negatively.

"I was never angry" she shrugged.

"Ya Allah" I sighed joining my hands together. "I was so worried" I bent down beside her. "I thought you were angry because of the way I spoke"

"Noor" she took my hand lovingly, her shining honey wheat eyes looking at me "I was never angry. Instead I feel sorry towards you and I am worried about what happened this morning" she said.

"Nani" I grasped her hand gently giving her a reassuring smile. "Everything will be alright"

"I know habibti, I know. I just have a feeling that makes me think whether I am doing the right thing to Tubassum for not marrying her to Aaban"

"I support you hundred per cent in that. I am glad you did not want Tubassum to marry Aaban. I am telling you that marrying her off to Aaban will be havoc to her. Aaban does not worth her. He is an asshole"

"Noor dear, that was so harsh" she placed her hand on my cheek smiling. "May Allah bless you? Do you know how your words make me feel better?"

"I might not know but I am glad you are okay" I kissed the back of her hand.

"Angel, I am leaving for work" Amir's cheerful voice floated across the room.

With a frown, I looked at the door. Amir grinned at me, waving a hand with his head popped into the room.

"I see you are having a good time with Nani" he walked into the room. I got up.

"So why are you telling me?" I growled

"Ouch!" he placed his hand on his chest as if he had been stabbed. "Do you know how much that hurts?"

"Why should I care?"

"That's worse" he leaned closer and whispered to me.

"Assalamu alaikum Nani" he went closer to his grandmother and kissed her forehead. Nani smiled getting hold of his hand. Their next conversation was in Urdu so I did not grasp a little thing. Amir kissed his grandmother's head then turned back to me with a smile. I eyed him then turned back to Nani.

"So, Nani what do you want me to do for you?" I said giving her my best smile.

"You are not ignoring me habibti" Amir took my hand. I snatched it away.

"Nani, we were saying something" I ignored him.

Nani laughed watching both of us as she nodded her head at our fight.

"Hayati" Amir called. I had no choice but to answer him. I rolled my eyes and gave him my attention.

"What?"

"I just wanted to say goodbye" he stepped closer.

"Now that you have said goodbye, you can leave" I pushed him towards the door. He struggled making it hard for me to push him. He weighs a lot. In the process of pushing him, he turned around and grabbed me pulling me towards his chest. I shrieked at the sudden action.

"Amir" I growled, my hand holding his shoulder for support.

Amir smirked at me, a hand holding my waist and the other on the small of my back.

"What's wrong with you?" I tried to shake out of his hold frowning. He pushed me closer to him, our bodies came into the contact. "Amir" I called through joined teeth trying not to glance at Nani whom I was sure had her attention on us.

For Allah's sake, Nani was behind us and the intimacy was just too much to show her. My cheeks flamed. I hissed through my teeth giving him a hard look.

"What are you doing?"

"I just want to say goodbye"

"You have said it so....." he smashed his lips on mine. My eyes grew wide as my heart somersaulted. I could not think and my mind went blank. He pulled away smiling as if he had won a lotto. I was speechless that I could only stare at him and say nothing.

"That's a perfect good bye" he smiled pulling away from me. He winked and walked out.

Even after the door had shut behind him, I was motionless. Nani's laughter took me out of my trance. I covered my face preventing myself from letting out an embarrassed scream. He kissed me in front of her. He freaking kissed me and that too in front of his grandmother. What a man? He just cannot seize to amaze me.

"That's was so cute" Nani said behind me.

With my cheeks flushed, I turned around looking at the floor. God, I can't just look at her.

"You are fighting him right?" she inquired. I sighed then walked to her.

"Yes, I am"

Nani got up and moved to the love seat. I took the empty space beside her.

"It is a normal thing among couples. These petty fights are just to tease each other. It strengthens the relationship between spouses. He loves you" she said softly.

"Yes, I know" I pressed my lips looking at her.

"Not just ordinary love. He is madly in love with you. I hope you get me" I nodded in reply.

"Then be grateful Noor. It is rare for a man to love you that way dear"

"I know Nani" I smiled.

"Good, when you step out, call Aaliyah for me" she said as I left her room after hugging her.
