They came out hand in hand as they walked to jabbar's car. They were finally going home after three days of shutting everyone out and just having time for each other.

Jabbar informed the people back at home that they were together and needed not to worry and unlike the last time he used the same lie to get them out of trouble. He had to send them proof which is a picture that they are actually together.

He cleared his schedule at office for three days and then both their phones went off. It was just both of them alone in those three days.

Nawal even jokingly said they were having the honeymoon they didn't have when they got married and he promised her, he is going to take her on an actual honeymoon. Another two weeks just the two of them or if she wanted to spend more then he is completely open to it.

She had laughed knowing what he meant by that and said the two weeks was going to be enough for them and told him she wanted to go to Dubai. Apparently she fell in love with just the airport on their way to their supposed honeymoon in Australia and would love to go there.

Jabbar instead has vehemently refused saying Dubai was too common for a honeymoon and everyone now goes there. Besides he's gone there more times than he can count.

Nawal had vexed at that and accused him of only being selfish because he has been there before and he doesn't want to go there again when she has never been there.

In order to please her, he had agreed to take her to Dubai but that will be after their honeymoon in another location. She has grinned at the idea of having to go to two different countries and spend two weeks each.

When she asked him where they'll be going for the honeymoon since it's no longer Dubai. He had told her the location is going to remain a secret till they got there.

She spent the three days wearing his clothes since she didn't have any of her own and as much as he loved seeing her in his clothes he offered to buy her new ones or send someone to get her clothes from the palace. But she declined playing the guilt game and saying he was just being stingy with his clothes and he left her after throwing his hands up in surrender.

It was already twelve noon and they were going back home. After opening the door for her and she entered, he got into the drivers seat and drove out.

He didn't leave her hand even when driving. Nawal smiled before raising her head from their interwined fingers then looked at him.

"You like holding my hand alot. I can count how many times you're not holding it". She said teasingly an amused smile on her face.

"Ofcourse I do. I love the feel of it in mine". He looked at their hands then her face." It's feels right. It makes me feel safe". He said with a small smile on his face.

"Safe?" Nawal chuckled at his response. How does he feel safe." Safe from what exactly. And I should be the one saying that".

"Well you see...." He tightened his hold on her hand giving it a squeeze." It makes me feel safe, safe from this world's evil and everything that comes with it. It makes me know I have someone that's going to stand by me till the very end. Something I never had. And it makes me know that you're mine and mine alone. And I plan on doing the same things you make me feel to you. To spend every hour, every day of my life keeping you safe". He brought their hands to his lips and kissed it.

"Times like this when you're serious there is nothing I always want to do like kiss you". When did she start saying what she thinks. Jabbar's straight forwardness is rubbing off on her. The guy is never one to lie.

"You know you can now. I don't mind". He shrugged with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Yeah right. And risk getting us killed. No thank you". She rolled her eyes facing her front.
