YOURS, JANNAH

#THIRTY TWO

SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATES, I DONT FEEL TOO GOOD. DO INCLUDE ME IN YOUR PRAYERS, THANK YOU❤️ An update might come later Insha Allah...

"What?" Jannah groaned clutching the pillow beneath her head while pushing away the hands on her legs.

Adnan's toneless husky voice floated into her dream fogged mind. She was dreaming about him actually but hearing his voice made all the things she's dreamt about flew away. He was not the one she saw in her dream of course. That Adnan was so loving that it made her nauseous, she couldn't handle so much charm from the fake dream Adnan.

"You should get up and get ready. Your flight is in three hours." He grumbled quietly beneath his breath seeing that Imara is sleeping beside her.

Clutching the lush pillow beneath her head, she mumbled sleepily. "Whose flight is that?"

"Yours." He is walking around the room from the sounds of his expensive Italian shoes hitting the wooden floor.

"I'm not going anywhere better cancel it and ask for refund or whatever it is you guys do." She emphasized feeling her sleep slowly evading her as she tries her best to catch it with both hands.

"Quitting your job meant you were ready to leave. I'm not going to have a long chitchat about this." Is that a threat beneath his tone or what?

Jannah smiled on the pillow, stretched her arms to get some more sleep. He's capitulated. "Same here. Allow me to sleep."

"You are leaving Maldives today, I won't repeat myself." He insisted, his voice coming from beside her where he kissed his daughter's forehead and kept something beneath her pillow.

"Fine!" She decided to give up so he can allow her to sleep.

She refused to go back to bed yesterday even after Adnan had hinted he didn't like her presence there with him. More than hinted actually. He's later brought out his cigarette and blew it into the night while she watched with a frown. That stick is going to kill him and he took three in just thirty minutes. Is that even healthy or is he addicted to it to take so many in little amount of time?

She's borrowed his phone to browse how they feel when they smoke, it made no sense to her and the answer only left her confused and lost.

"Nicotine enters your bloodstream, increasing your pulse and blood pressure. Your sense of smell is reduced. Because nicotine is a stimulant, your brain will release feel-good chemicals or make you want to eat. When taken in small amounts, nicotine causes pleasant feelings and distracts the user from unpleasant feelings. This makes the tobacco user want to use more. Nicotine reaches your brain within 10 seconds of when it enters your body. It causes the brain to release adrenaline, and that creates a buzz of pleasure and energy. The buzz quickly fades, though. Then you may feel tired or a little down-and you may want that buzz again. It also causes heart disease, cancer and lungs failure."

"Good."

"I'll send Alim to aid you." His voice is slowly retreating away from the room much to her delight.

"Okay."

To say Adnan is not shocked at how she easily ceded is an understatement. Had it been the Jannah from many months ago, he would've believed her instantly but this one, he's got more than a little doubts. Is she going to leave or she's already hatched another plan to get back at him for his never ending lists of wrongdoings?

Stopping by the door, he turned around to add in a granite worth voice. "He'll bring all the other stuff you'll need."

"Sure."
