           Hameed's P O V

"Seriously, Anwar" with an amusing smile still lingering on my lips, I let out a soft chuckle, Anwar is indeed some thing else "fine whatever, I might land by 8:30pm, so don't keep me waiting" I stated looking down at Hanan that was working her magic at the end of my sleeve. her lips were pushed forward and brows frowned, I couldn't say what's going through her mind, but from the way she kept mumbling and pouting I know she was complaining about something

"yeah anything" I assured, making sure to sound convincing to Anwar. his next statement made a naughty grin spread across my face as I eyed the soul before me curiously "should I do that" the sentence escaped before I could stopped it

Hanan lifted her head upward, as if on cue stamping her feet on the floor, she mouthed some incoherent words before standing on her big toe and snatching away the phone from me, a small laugh escaped my lips as she took the phone to her ear glaring at nothing in particular, "uncle Anwar, could you pls excuse us for minutes, I'm getting my husband ready right now, we won't want him to miss his flight hmmm, He can be yours when he gets there, but for now you're interfering in my time" I couldn't hid my amazement by the time she got to the end of the sentence, with sarcasm dropping from her tone. I watched astonished as she terminated the call with a smirk and tossed the phone on the bed behind her, then turned around and continued the task at hand.

Minutes passed and we were done, she traipsed back a little then gazed at me from the distance, satisfied with her work, she nods and then signaled for me to follow after her.

I followed right after her while she walks ahead to the parlor, she was dressed In a pink floral print gown, that looks extremely eye-catching on her, a simple stepped turban cap was worn over her head and she was holding a matching medium sized veil by her right hand.

We stopped at the middle of the sitting room where my suitcase was kept accordingly, and I spoke first "I should go talk to dada first" putting my phone in my side pocket as I said so, "ok" hanan smiled simply with her reply, I turned on my hills to the door, but Hanan's voice halted my movement "wait" I wasn't given the chance to ask why because she ran upstairs immediately after she spoke. seriously, Hanan is still a small child, does she have to run, what is she even running after?

She still ran while descending the stair case and while coming back to the parlor, when she stood before me she was holding a perfume vial in her right hand, heaving a little

"Hanan" I called sternly but gently with a calming voice "hmm" she looked up at me "do you have to run" I simply glared at her, she shook her head slightly "talk" I said resting my weight on one of my leg "I'm sorry, I just remembered that I haven't applied the perfume on you" she spoke, her voice, surprisingly sackless "it's fine, you shouldn't run from now on okay" I smiled encouragingly at her, I don't want her being like this, being all innocent and sentimental.

"we should just go to dada together, do you have to come back here again when you're done with him" Hanan asked after a while "dada Is going to take me to the airport, I'm just going to let him know that I'm ready" I explained myself "or should we say our goodbyes here" I asked raising a questioning brow at her "no, let's do that at the airport" she stated drifting a veil over her head, "you're not following me to the airport, are you" I demanded, earnestly fixing my eyes on her, waiting for her reply "why are you even asking me that, I'm going" "no you're not" "yes I'm, definitely" at this point her eyes have already started gathering liquid, making them glistened with the amount of tears and somehow manage to look oily and attractive.

I held her by her shoulders, being careful not to hold her too tight "Hanan" I let her name pass through my lips, softly gazing down at her "look up" she did as told and I smiled encouragingly at her "you should stay at home, Adil would come later on and take you home with him okay" "no" she stamped her feet on the floor, the tears cascading down her cheek "I want to go with you to the airport" "Hanan...." "Please, just take me with you, I don't even want you to leave" she stated the sound of her cries now audible "I would be back before you know it, just stay home" she increased the sound of her cries making me whined, ya Rabb I hate cries "listen, Hanan listen to me okay, that's one of the reasons why I don't want to take you to the airport, just stop crying hmm" she nods slowly letting her cry to died down, her eyes were a little shade of red and her lips were pushed a little forward in a pout. somehow the action made her looked tempting, I couldn't resist the sudden urge to kiss her, and so I leaned down to satisfy my desire. I held her chin up claiming her lips with mine and letting my eyes dropped close

"Ya Hameed, dada wants you right now" the voice passed through my head as soon as I caught Hanan's lips between mine, it definitely Rumaisa, my back was to the door, but from the voice I'm hundred percent sure that it's her, I slowly let go of Hanan's lips, gently dragging her to my chest "you're very stupid Rumaisa, you must be insane to just barge in like this without saying your Salam" I gritted through my teeth heaving a little "dada asked me to....." I Furiously turned around, is she trying to explain herself right now, instead of correcting herself "leave" the word came out slowly but dangerously without my knowledge, she traipsed away immediately and I suspired turning back to Hanan that was silently cleaning tears away from her cheek. I forced a small smile despite the way my heart was aching "shall we" she nodded repeatedly and I lead the way, with her fingers entwined with mine.

At the parking lot stood Dada with my stepmom, then Rumaisa and unaisa also standing close to them, I cleared my throat, announcing our presence then silently said my Salam, "waalaikumus salam Hameed, you're going to miss your flight if we don't leave now, quickly say your goodbyes, let leave" dada stated then called yakubu and instructed him to get my suitcase.

I glared at Rumaisa when our eyes met then turned over to Hanan, her face was void of any emotions, and her eyes were glassy with unshed tears, I couldn't bring myself to even say a single word so I simply leaned in and pressed a lingering kiss on her forehead. she held me by the side slightly, a tear dropping from her left eye, "you shouldn't cry......, stay strong Hanan...., for me... please" I mouthed the emotional sentence silently, only audible to her own ears, then gently remove her hand away from my kaftan and turned on my hills, with out another glance at her, I say a simple good bye to my stepmom and stepped into the car and just like that Dada ignite the car engine and drove away.
