"What are you thinking Squirrel?"

I asked very softly when I felt her playing with my fingers which were on her stomach instead of sleeping.

She was strangely silent after we came back from the fields.

She inhaled a deep breath and turned, facing me. I felt her warm palm on my cheek and her thumb pad caressing me.

I opened my eyes slowly and came across her longing face.

The brightness of her face was dim since the morning after whatever Chahat Bua said whereas her eyes were looking into mine, asking me to answer her all the questions, to take all her insecurities away.

She was confused, angry, sad, insecure, and whatnot. The way she was crying in the morning just scared me to death and upon that her high-order thinking skill. I was damn sure she had and might be cooking something in her small head that I had been scared of most.

"Mere sawal ka jawab denge?"
(Will you answer my question)

She spoke in a low voice and I gulped in anticipation, nodding.

"Who was that girl Noor chose for you?"

She asked and my words hung in my throat.

Her eyes were pleading me to say something but also getting scared by the answer.

I inhaled and said.

"You."

Her brows thinned and she looked at me for a few seconds before turning her back to me.

"Aree."

She jerked my hand and legs from herself, creating a gap between us.

I tried to grab her arm but she jerked my hand not letting me touch her.

"Squirrel..."

I knew this would happen. Now how should I explain to her?

This was not the right time as it would only encourage her overthinking.

I sighed and shifted close to her and she away from me. I smiled when there was no more space left for her to shift.

I blew air upon her ear and she hid herself upto head inside the blanket.

Seeing her getting annoyed, my mood turned playful as I feathered her sole with my toe.

She tried to jerk my legs but it was too heavy for her as I had put them on hers and was slowly feathering her sole.

I suppressed my laughter when she wiggled helplessly.

Finally, she flickered the blanket, unable to control and laughed.

"Mr. Malhotra stop it."

She shouted between her laugh and I stopped.

She sat up panting and calmed down her breath before glaring at me.

"What happened?"

I asked innocently and she started hitting me with a pillow.

I laughed and snatched the pillow from her hands and hit her back with a mere force.

But she whined like it hit her hard.

"I don't want to sleep here."

She said and climbed off the bed.

"Close the door behind."

I said and she glared at me, walking out of the room and closing the door behind with a thud.
