Chapter theme: Butterflies by MAX and Ali Gatie& I Guess I'm in Love by Clinton Kane.

The two women did something. That was pretty much obvious to Aria at the moment. And unfortunately for her, she ended up in the trap set for someone else and not her.

Would she send them to an early grave for it? Definitely. She had fully planned on killing them all the moment she gets the chance to do so.

Turning around, she snuggled into the pillow, letting out a sigh. The feeling of light on her face had her flickering her eyes open, and a hiss escaped her lips when she met contact with the window blinds that have been folded up.

How could she have forgotten to draw them close?

The answer to it was there at the back of her head, but she refused to acknowledge it. Doing do will mean willing to dig a six feet deep hole and burying herself in it to keep out the embarrassment.

As if willing to irk her thoughts more, she heard the door open and the realization that she was alone dawned back on her. Then, there is the realization of who just came in.

She swallowed hard, immediately flickering her eyes close and pretending to be asleep. It was the moment that she was glad that she had earlier pulled up the duvet to cover half her face. The only thing left in sight are her eyes and the top of her nose along with everything else upwards.

Her hands fisted by her side, pinching her lips close shut so as to not make a sound. Her ears however took in every step that she heard, and from it she was able to tell the direction he was going.

Unfortunately, it's towards her and that was the last thing she wanted. Couldn't he have just, like, gone to work already so she could not face the embarrassment of what happened?

But of course not, Aali won't let her have that little of peace.

"Stupid" She muttered under her breath, too low that barely a sound left. All that could be seen is the moving of her lips, and thankfully since it's covered, he didn't see it.

The footsteps got closer, and the more she hears it, the more her hands ball into a tight fist. It suddenly stopped once it's close to her, and then she felt the bed sink right beside her and the action had her toes curling tight as if that would make her entire body freeze under the scrutinizing gaze.

As if that would make him believe that she is asleep and that he would actually leave her.

As if.

Ali tilted his head to the side slightly, lips curling in to hold back his smile. He could easily see her discreetly trying to pretend to be asleep. He shook his head slightly, a small grin making its way on his face as he reached his hand out to push away the strands of hair that had covered the side of her face.

She had left her hair open since she had prayed subh. He wanted to pray along with her but he knew it would be better if he goes to the masjid, just like the others. So, he woke her up before he left, to which she still pretended to be asleep just like she is doing now, and apparently only left the bed once he had left.

He met his siblings, including Hasnain in the masjid, and together with their father and the others they prayed.

It was half past six when he came back at first, and before he returned he is already well aware that she had gotten back to sleep for real then. However, she had already cleared up everything as if nothing happened and she had safely returned back to bed.

He was only there to check up on her anyways. So when she was sure that she had returned back to sleep, he went to meet the Calipha as they had something important to talk about.
