                 Hanan's P O V

My lips were stretched into a thin straight line and my eyes were slightly closed. the car was awkwardly silent only the gently sound of the vehicle we were in, as it moves smoothly against the surface of the route.

My lips moves casually into a daunting smile, as something cross passed my mind at that very instance, right now, I'm kinda feeling uneasy, or is it guiltiness, I can't fathom, but somehow I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes and glance at Hameed, not even once.

unfortunately this is a first for me, I mean I'm Hanan AKA the intimidating dauntless and challenging lady, but right now, I don't know what have gotten into me, it seems as if Hameed have bewitched me or something, I have totally changed, I wanted to say something, just anything so perhaps I could feel better but something deep inside me is restricting me from doing so.

In lieu of that small voice that kept whispering in my mind, challenging me, I still dared to opened my eyes slowly, blinking a little to adjust to my normal sight and once I took in my surrounding my eyes dilated at the sight before me as the car came to an abrupt halt.

Hameed honked steadily, and then waited patiently afterwards, the get was then swung opened for him and he drove in, I on the other hand was too ecstatic to even wait for him to park properly as I maneuvered my way out of the car despite him calling after me

Stopping at the main entrance I rang the doorbell eagerly and excitedly waiting for the door to be opened, some minutes passed and I heard a clicked sound indicating that someone was behind the door, I could felt someone's presence behind me but I was so focused on the door to even pay attention to whoever it was thinking it might be Hameed

The door before me was then opened, revealing ya Adil, standing, with his eyes half closed laterally from sleep, dressed in a fresh set of boxers and white singlet.

I launched forward immediately hugging him while ululating, he was quick to pushed me away instantly, his eyes dilating warily, but then, I wasn't given the chance to complain or whine as I was dragged back into his embrace with full force once I was registered by him.

"can't breath" I spoke amid the hug, it came out as a muffle against his broad chest though "let go" I struggled to get out of his hold but he only loosen his hold around me "I missed you so damn much babe" he said kissing my forehead, I chuckled as he enfolded his hands back around me. By Allah I have also missed him terribly, we stayed like that for a while before the one person I had been yearning to see interrupted our small reunion..

"let go of her you fool" Mami said smacking the back of ya Adil's head, which made him set me free instantly with a whine and I giggled "she is a married woman now" Mami added rolling her eyes "but she would always be my little baby no matter what" ya Adil muttered with a pout, his hand to the back of his head, as he rubbed were he had been smacked "and we can still hug each otherrrr" I added with a grin dragging the end of my sentence as I leaned in to embrace him again but was dragged back immediately "not again little one" at the mention of that my happiness skyrocketed, I turned around to the source of the voice flashing my white teeth with too much enthusiasm, I opened my arms to hug him but he pushed himself back "no hugging babe" ya Ammar chuckled "Mami's order" he added when he noticed my now frowned face, Hameed was standing right beside him with an adorable pout on his lips gawking at us, I stamped my feet on the floor my eyes getting glassy with tears.

"Hameed Habibi don't just stand there okay, now come on in" Mami said, gesturing for Hameed to walk into the room, that made me envious, I didn't know when a tear escaped my eye sending daggers Hameed way, with a smug expression he smirked at me then walked beside me and into the parlor with Mami tailing behind him, I deepen my frown then matched into the parlor with my two brothers following suit.

After exchanging greetings and pleasantries throwing jokes here and there, Mami dragged me to the kitchen while the men made them selves comfortable

Once behind the brick zone encircled for the kitchen, I faced Mami with a longing smile on my face "I have missed you Mami" I smiled genuinely at her "it's same here habibty" she answered with a motherly smile engulfing me in a hug, the warm feeling that washed through me made me release a sigh I didn't know I was holding, it made me forget all my worries, seeing no one other than her, I wished I could stay like this forever.

the hug lasted for a while before we broke apart, with my fingers entwined with hers she asked about my wellbeing despite the fact that I was standing right before her, I answered her sincerely with a light smile, we talked for a while, like a mother and daughter talk before we proceeded to start making lunch.

The sky had started to get dark with the slightest shade of black that have started embracing the sky, the sun have started disappearing below the western horizon giving an alluring color of pale tint of orange to the sky, I steadily moved my gaze away from the sky down to my surrounding were my favourable family sat in a circle chatting away, ya Adil was the one blabbing about something while we listened to him or should I say they listened because I wasn't.

my gaze then finally landed on Hameed, that was sitting with his legs crossed before him, his arms resting on his knee joint as he drew pattern with his finger on the lushed carpet before him, I stared mildly at him not wanting to be seen, I might be embarrass, but I couldn't help it.

taking in his features I finally concluded that he was indeed eye catching, he was elegance personified as everything about him was visually attractive more especially that calm and collective vibe of his, I continue staring my eyes following his every move till he looked up at me with a smirk raising a question brow at me, that when I realized that I have stared for too much, with a slight twitch of my mouth carefully not to be seen by Mami I looked away from him.
