His Second Wife

Hide & Seek

Few days passed.

Noya made herself isolated. She fulfilled her job, took a good care of Amayra when Barq was not around. But when he would arrive, she would sneak back to her room. Avoiding him as much as she could. Man, was her worst nightmare she could ever have. 

Whilr Barq, he respected her boundaries. But not his heart. That was too stubborn to get her one glimpse. Her small glimpse was causing his heart to beat widely. 

Last night when Amayra mentioned that how Noya screamed loudly, out of fear as she placed one small kitten in her lap. Barq couldn't help but feel her fears. "You should not do that ever. Never laugh at someone's weakness" he said as he strokes her hair lovingly.

"But daddy, kitten doesn't harm" she says in a duh tone. He caressed her small face, "I know precious. But still no pranks" he says in a little stern voice. Amayra agrees and hugs him.

"Lets call it a night, I have an early meeting tomorrow morning" he says softly pecking her cheeks. She giggled as his beard tickled her soft skin.

"Daddy, Hubaab got not hair on face. Why do you have much hair on face?" She asked naively making him smile at her question. "I am grown up man. He is still a boy. A young boy" he said covering her with duvet. She nodded smilingly.

As she drafted into sleep. Realisation hits Barq harder than ever. His eyes widened and he sat up straight with a jolt.

"Did he kissed you Amor?" He asked to her sleeping figure. Though he knew that was just out of love for being the only child in the family. But still Barq was too possessive.

He hoped down the bed and straight away goes to Hubaab's room. Where he was too sleeping after his long day. Barq felt jealous, so he decided to wake him up. A jealous father is more dangerous than a jealous husband.

"Wake up, Hubaab" he calls as he shooked his as if there was an earthquake or tsunami. Hubaab groaned in his sleep. "What!!" He asked being sleepy.

"Did you kissed my daughter. Though I understand it must be out of love as in you are her uncle.

"Excuse me! I never kiss kids. Your daughter tortures me with her kisses!" He said interrupting Barq's important speech.

His eyes widened with surprise and Hubaab pulled back the duvet. Sleeping back peacefully.

Before he could say or do anything to him  he heard a soft giggling sound. His heart skipped a beat. Ofcourse it was Noya. His legs started taking steps towards her room. That was close enough to Hubaab's room. He peeked into her room, as the door was slightly unlocked.

She was sitting on her bed, hugging a pillow. Watching some series in television. Her glowiing face was enough to make him forget the world. She, herself was a mew story to him. His smiled at her naiveness of being drowned in a movie. Shoving his hands in his pockets. He stared at her with pure admiration. No impurity, no lust.

But what caught his attention was that small scratches on her neck. She must have got it when Amayra placed a kitten in her lap? Or something else happened? Nit able to get on conclusions, he dashes into her room, forgetting she was having her me time.

Here, Noya flinched at his sudden arrival in her room. She quickly jumped off the bed still hugging her pillow. His grey eyes scanned her completely. She was wearing a cute pyjamas of baby pink color.

"Do you need anything sir?" She asked with hesitation. As she found her nightwear revealing though it was not.

"What happened to you neck Ms. Noya?" He asked taking a closer look at those marks. She shivered badly at their proximity. "Sir, Its not appropriate" she manage to say. Barq completely ignored her and checked her whole room.

Noya was shocked and confused. "What are you searching for?" She asked softly.

"Ointment" he mumbled and finally he found it. "Come here" he commands making her knees go weak. Why was his voice this dominating.

She took baby steps and sat infront of him. He took some Ointment on his finger and raised his hand to apply in her neck when she backed off. "Stop moving Noya. Move once more and I hover you!" He warned her making her gasp.

"Sir don't you think you are crossing the limits" she says trying to hold the situation. "Then do show me my limits Noya" he shrugged and applied the Ointment. His soft fingers brushing her skin. Made her shiver badly. She fisted the pillow tightly. She had a fear, a fear from man, their touch, their talks and being around them.

Barq studied her uneven breathing. Though he didn't asked her much and thought to leave now. "Take care" he whispered making her squirm and nod.

He was about to leave when her phone buzzed at this time of the night, kicking his possessiveness. He narrowed his eyes at the call. "Who is it?" He asked turning back to her now.

Noya was completely done with him now. "I don't know. How would I know? Its an unknown no. And why do you care?" She blabbered and shut up instantly receiving a sharp glare from him. He took steps to her again, making her gasp. "No, no. I won't say anything from now. Please get lost" she blabbered making him raise his eyebrows.

"Get lost?" He asked making her quickly not agree with what she said.

"I mean leave" she changed her words making him chuckle.

"Give me your phone" he says streching his palm to her.

"No? You already have a branded phone! Why would you need my keypad phone!?" She asked keeping her hands on her hips. Barq stared at her face for 2 seconds and bursted into laughter. Until Noya was completely red with embarrassment. She bited her lips.

"Aye, don't do that, turn off your device and go to sleep" he says making her pout.

"You won't take my phone away?" She asked with hopefull eyes.

He smiled and nodded in no. "Nope, but your heart" he says winking at her making her jaw drop to ground.

As Barq left smilingly. Noya sniffed, "how will I survive without my heart? Why would he need two hearts to survive? Am I dying soon? Oh no" and she cried until she was asleep!
