His Second Wife

you are being heartless.

Noya pouted at his words and was strolling back to her room. When the loud explosion took place in their kitchen. All thanks to Almighty that no one present in the kitchen and the maids and other staff quickly used the fire extinguisher. Barq was seen rushing downstairs, looking around for his heart's piece, his amor. While Amayra was near Hubaab's room. She flinched blabbering something to herself and started crying loudly.

Hubaab rushed out too and engulfed her into a tight hug. "Shh, Amayra you are safe." He shuhsed her. And walked downstairs in search of barq. As soon as Barq saw his baby, he rushed and took a hold of her. "Are you fine baby? Tell me baby, daddy is worried " he said worriedly. She nods with a pout and wiped away her tears.

Barq hugged her closer, and held her in his arms. The maids rushed out to the lounge. The re was no manual harm but just a small explosion of oven, things were uncontrolled.

"Who was there in the kitchen? And what exactly happened?" He questioned clenching his jaw. The maids stood with bow heads. Noya gulped nervously and came forward fidgeting her fingers. "Its not their fault sir, it just skipped my mind" she starts only to hear a loud roar of him.

"SHUT UP!! JUST SKIPPED FROM YOUR MIND? ARE YOU THIS ABSENT MINDED MS NOYA?" he roarer angrily. Noya flinched at his loud yell and soo other maids, along with Amayra too. Noya looked down with teary eyes. No words formed. She wanted to answer back, "i was bisy handling your stubborn daughter who loves to fight every now and than" but she choosed to remain silent. It was getting hard to get another job.

"I am sorry" she mumbled fidgeting her fingers. Hubaab could clearly notice her how body was shivering. She too was scared. He opened his mouth to say something when Barq beats him saying, "out! Out of my mansion this very moment Ms Noya, I can't trust your clumsiness" he said shaking his head at her clumsiness and absent mind.

His daughter's safety was all to him. Noya, with a great shock, eyes widened and beating loud heart looked at him. His jaw seems to be clenched and he was trying not to burst more
Though, he already scared her. Hubaab mentally rolled his eyes at his brother's decision.

Amayra sniffed and tried to say something to her daddy, but all his one glare and she went all quite. Hiding her small cute face with her chubby hands.

"I don't like to repeat myself" he announced sounding how much was hating her here. Without any emotion Noya looked at him and gave a small nod. "I understood Sir" she says in a small voice and walked out with her luggage.

Barq with Amayra in his arms, walked upstairs to his room, Hubaab decided to follow him. "You shouldn't be this harsh to a girl, afterall is a nanny, how can you aspect her to be around your daughter 24×7?" Hubaab questioned as he dashes into his room.

Barq tugged her small frame to the bed, who was all quite and turned to his brother with a big frown. "She was being careless!" He stated.

"And you are being heartless!" Hubaab said loud enough to that Barq raised his one eyebrow at his brother's attitude.

"Be a man. This is doesn't suits you, the weather seems to be dangerous out there" Hubaab said the last words and turned to leave. He sighed and took a deep breath, and marched back to his room.

Barq, with unsettled, unsecured and all bad thoughts was in deep thoughts what would have happen if Amayra was somewhere near the explosion. His mind was creating scenarios that he was hating. This is what is called overthinking. When you keep dragging things in your own without being practical and straightforward.

While his mind mocked him, "you care about your employees but not about your daughter's nanny? Why?"

And so his heart played his role, "my employees are my assets!"

His mind scoffed at the answer and fired back, "and your daughter's happiness? That's not your asset? Your lifetime earning!?"

To which his groaned at his thoughts and turned down to his babygirl, showering her with kisses. Amayra snuggled more to him and whispered, "daddy, anger is bad"

"I am not angry baby, i am just worried about you" he whispered back caressing her hair.

While here, Noya sighed at the sky with not teary eyes but disappointment. "I know you don't love, though my present is not up to the mark, but why do you hate me?" She questioned to the Almighty.

The rain pouring down on the earth, crushing with winds was making people shiver and rush back to their homes. She sighed at her thought, home. A word that she craved to feel. Which she didn't get love and peace that a home radiates.

What all she got in return was some harsh memories. Getting drenched in rain, she rushed towards the main road to a bus stand which was half an hour far from her.

She wrapped her arms around herself, her cloths were now sticking to her body. The roads were empty and soo was her mind.
She walked until she was tired but the bus stand was no where near to be found. "Why everything is so difficult for me god?" She mumbled pouting. Meanwhile a jeep with drunken boys was coming in speed. A small thankful spread across her lips.

She tried to get a lift, but when her eyes falls on the drunken boys. Who were laughing and driving insanely, she freezed. "Oh what a mess you are pulled up into!" She cursed herself and gripping her luggage and fastened her speed. The boys attention was already on her. "Hey, baby where are you off too?" One of them questioned making her flinch and she fastened her pace.

"Oh no, sweety you are completely drenched, you will catch cold, come with us" said the other one and all laughed.

Noya rushed mumbling all the verses she remembered, her heart raced with fear at their cheap comments. She never had any protective shoulder.

Her chain of thoughts broke when her wrist was caught by someone. She flinched.

While here, Barq looked out at the rain. That was increasing minute by minute. He was feeling some unsettled vibes.
