Bahadur (Watties 2022)

Chapter 38

Vladimir's uncle is ok, he sat and spoke about everything perfectly leaving out what they did to our land.

I'm still salty but I can't hold grudges, atleast they're helping us now.

" Inaya this is my son Vadim"

I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't notice another man entered the room.

He has his dads good looks and piercing blue eyes, ya Allah lower your gaze Inaya!

Nodding my head I smiled.
"Hello"

"Vladimir you bagged yourself a beautiful bride" Vadim spoke approaching me, standing up I placed my hand on my heart to fully avoid the shaking hand situation.

"Are you from Pakistan?" he asked taking a seat on the leather seat with a smile.

"No, Azad Jammu and Kashmir" I corrected quickly, his eyebrows scrunched in confusion.

"Aren't they the same" he mumbled rubbing his chin confused.

"Not at all, we are administered by Pakistan but we're our own entity"

"Wow, look I never knew that" He smiled and leaned over picking Khawlah up from the little bouncer Vladimir bought in

" Vladimir you were not there for 9 months how did this happen" he gasped squeezing her cheeks.

Vladimir downed another shot before glancing at me, slight frustration shining in his orbs.

"Vlad my son we must leave in a few minutes, we should discuss something first" his uncle spoke standing up, he nodded and left the room with his uncle following behind.

Ya Allah I feel uncomfortable.

Fiddling with my yellow duppata I was about to make an excuse to leave when Vadim spoke up.

"So how did this happen, Vladimir vowed against marriage" he chuckled tickling Khawlah's stomach.

If only I knew.

" I don't know, it just happened" I said quietly, being alone with a man I don't know is making me feel uncomfortable.

He smiled rocking Khawlah back and forth happily, just like his father he has a warm aura. An aura I shouldn't feel uncomfortable in yet I am.

"Well your too beautiful for him" he said with a smile.

"Um thanks I guess" I whispered awkwardly, I'm not used to this, I've barely ever received compliments from the male species.

"I was..." he was interrupted by his dad who walked towards us. He grabbed a pair of keys from the table and smiled.

"Son let's leave"

Oh thank Allah, quickly standing up I smiled at the men, Vadim placed Khawlah back into her bouncer and stood straight.

"I hope to see you again darling" his uncle spoke nodding his head at me, I smiled and said you too.

I was about to sit back down when Vadim grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug, my heart immediately stopped.

No, no.

I was frozen, I could barely move.

He slowly backed away and kissed my cheek before heading towards the door without a care in the world.

"I'll see you soon beautiful" he yelled leaving the house.

Ya Allah, what was that! Is this how they say bye to other people's wives here in Russia. His uncle left seconds later.
