40: Right back at you

The day started like every other one has been for the past two days. Him trying to engage in conversations with her and her completely shutting him out like he doesn't exist.

If he remembers clearly,this is the exact same thing he did to her back then and it's hurts alot. More than he'd like to admit.

Who knew being ignored could hurt so much. And to think she kept on coming back to him times without number even after all he did to her.

She was hell bent on proving what she said she'd do and if this isn't enough evil, then he doesn't know what is. Nawal is treating him the exact way her treated her.

He wouldn't lie, those two days he has had the thought of just leaving her to herself after she has countlessly ignored him but he dare not. He did the same to her. And right now he needs to be in her good books more than ever even if that makes him look like a fool. He was getting a taste of his own medicine.

To make matters worse, the little witch has chased him out of his little heaven. His room. And when he suggested they shared it like they used to, she gave him a glare that had him swallowing a huge gulp. After which she made a statement. " Earn it like I did". He almost laughed. Key word "almost".

She didn't earn anything. He only allowed her because he didn't want her spilling his secret of being scared of cockroaches not cause she did anything worthy to stay in the room. but he'd let her have it. He won't make her think otherwise. He doesn't want her adding this to his pile of sins now does he?.

He only used to come to get his things and that is the excuse to engage in little conversation with her since she has made her self somewhat of a celebrity that you'll have to book an appointment to see her. And he really isn't exaggerating it. Jabbar could count how many times he has set his eyes on her two days ago. Once she's sure he's taken his things in the morning she locks the door so he doesn't even think of coming back with his string of excuses of have left this or that.

At least he wasn't that wicked. His door was always for her to come and talk to him just that he wouldn't  answer her.

And as if that wasn't enough, she makes sure to only come down when he leaves the house and before he comes back she's back up. If he's lucky to find her downstairs, she ignores him letting him talk all to himself like he was a fool. She's really good at this game too.

But Jamil and Jamal said not to give up and he won't. He'll win her over. He doesn't even want to divulge into what those two brothers of his have taught him. All he can say is may Allah forgive them.

That even reminds him, why was she never scared of his expression. Even him knew they were deadly. He was definitely sure when he told jamil she was the only woman he could live with.

Now he was currently sitting down in the sitting room one ankle crossed on the other his phone in his hands completely ignoring the TV that was on. The sound of heels clicking against the tiled floor has him whipping his head to the direction it was coming from.

And there she  was ascending like a queen. Okay technically she's a queen to be and...... Focus jabbar. He scolded his subconsciousness.

Nawal had on a red maxi dress with a blue channel bag tucked in her elbow. Her Jimmy choo heel the same shade as the bag and veil that is tied to perfection on her head. She had no make up on. Just a lipgloss and that's all.

Jabbar didn't notice he was staring too much till he heard a noise. It was her finger flickering in front of him.

He came back to reality looking back at her face that had a naturally arched brow up. She had this smug look that made her look even prettier.
