Finding you

61| Last time?

"I love the new haircut on you."

I lift my head up from my laptop to see Mahib staring at my new haircut. He tucks a stray strand behind my ear.

"You used to have this hairstyle during uni days." The early autumn winds make his hairs flutter along the rhythm.

It's a sunny afternoon and we both decided to work together sitting on the gazebo by the lake behind the house.

I nod, running a hand through my now shoulder length hairs. "I haven't had a haircut in years."

"And you look even more beautiful." He smiles, picking up the file beside him. "And this is your gift for being beautiful."

I chuckle, closing the laptop and take the file from him. "What's this?"

"Land property to build our house."

I look at him with wide eyes. "Property?" I close the file. "Mahib, I really enjoy living with your parents over here."

He grabs my hand. "We are not going anywhere from here just changing our room view to the other side of the lake."

I frown. "Meaning?"

He points over my shoulder. "Look at that area on the east side, baba had always kept that area empty for me to built my house after I get married."

I look at the area he pointed at and notice an area hidden behind the trees. "So we will just shift on the other side?"

He nods. "And you will design our house, however you want, according to your likes and wishes."

I open the file and look at the legal papers. I smile. "You are giving me our house contract?"

"No, I am naming the house on your name."

"Mahib?" I look at him in disbelief. "It's your property."

"And what's mine is yours, and you are mine."

I look at the papers, "Our house?"

He kisses my knuckles. "Our house."

"Then," I lift up the file I had kept beside me and hand it to him. "Sign this in return."

"What's this?" He looks at the papers and his eyes widen. "Adoption papers?"

I nod. "You have accepted Noor as your daughter now do it legally too so our home can get more real."

He smiles. "I will be called her father legally?"

I nod, and kiss his knuckles. "Yes, Noorie's baba."

He gives me a pen and takes one out from his pocket, "Let's sign it together."

"Alright." I smile and sign on the papers as the same as his.

We both close the files and he gives me a hug, kissing the side of my head. "Our dreams are coming true."

"They are."
