Chapter 13: Unwelcome guest

-Rahaf's pov-

As the morning arrived I found myself freshly bathed and dressed in a pink pakistani suit, my dark brown hair wet dripping water droplets from them. I wiped them with the help of towel and drapped my dupatta over my haid.

I found the bed empty which meant Aydin is up and gone downstairs for breakfast. I'm already starving so bad as I didn't even had dinner last night. Glancing at myself in the mirror for the last time I went downstairs.

The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the breakfast table as the family gathered to start the day.

I could hear the familiar sounds of chatter and laughter as I made my way downstairs, my stomach grumbling in anticipation of the meal to come.

As I entered the dining room, I was greeted by the sight of my family seated around the table, their faces illuminated by the soft morning light. Noor bhabhi and Mom were engaged in lively conversation, while Dad and Zain sat nearby, their expressions relaxed and content.

With a smile, I greeted each of them with a cheerful "Assalamu Alaikum," my voice bright with the promise of a new day. I took my seat beside Aydin, my heart fluttering with anticipation as I caught his eye.

"Assalamu Alaikum," I murmured softly, my gaze meeting his as I settled into my chair. Aydin returned my greeting with a nod, "Walaikum assalam." his expression unreadable as he busied himself with pouring himself a cup of tea.

I couldn't help but feel a smile making its way to my lips, I focused on the delicious spread of food laid out before us, my mouth watering at the sight of fluffy parathas and creamy yogurt.

With eager anticipation, I reached for a plate and began to fill it with an assortment of delicacies, my hunger getting the better of me as I piled on the food. I couldn't wait to dig in and satisfy my craving for a hearty breakfast.

Everyone chuckled at my actions and I couldn't help but giggle in embarassment my mouth filled with food.

As I busied myself in eating I sensed Aydin's gaze on me, I couldn't help but glance at him and what he did next sent millions of butterflies in my stomach.

He grabbed a tissue and held my chin up close and wiped the corner of my lips which I suppose had some yogurt left, making me froze on my spot.

"Dhang se khana bhi nahi aata tumhe!" He muttered, his tone annoyed but I wasn't caring about his scolding. I was staring at his face so close to mine. Does he even realise, what effects he has on me without even trying?

I'm screwed! Probably.

I snapped out if my thoughts as I heard the elders clearing their thoughts, still having smile on their faces.

Aydin on the other hand pulled back and completed his breakfast when Dad spoke up. "Aydin, it's weekend take Rahaf out today."

I quickly looked up at Aydin hearing dad, my eyes glinting with excitement hearing of going out with him. Yes I agree I act like a kid sometimes, because I've taught to find happiness in little things.

"Dad, I've office and these days my work is more than usual." He said without glancing at anyone and gazing at his phone as always.

I pouted as he declined the offer but Dad blinked his eyes at me in assurance sending me into bubble of excitement again. "Take 2 days leave and you all go to the farmhouse, spend time with eachother."

"All? You mean all of us?" Aydin asked raising an eyebrow.

"No only you kids, beta!" Dad chuckled gesturing towards us and Noor Bhabhi and Zain bhai.
