UNTAMED PRINCESS

•Chapter 40•

Double update......

MALAK'S POV

"Mama I can't find Lulu" Nadeen screeches from one part of the house. "She's somewhere around baby, check well okay" I call back adjusting the heat pad.

"I can't find her" she peeps through the ensuite slightly ajar door raising her hand in a dramatic way. "Can you go and start finding her? I'll join you okay" I sigh with a forced smile.

Kids will always be kids, throwing tantrums and wanting attention every single time. It's nice to bond with your child as well but trust me you don't really enjoy all that when you have cramps wanting to see the end of you.

I went downstairs to search for Nadeen and Lulu when I found the both of them in the garden. Nadeen is plucking out flowers for God knows what while Lulu being lazy as always is curled up on one of the gazebo chairs.

"Here you are!" Nadeen looks up with a grin before turning back. "I'm going to make a flower crown for you Mama" she announces. "For me?" I ask surprised and equally happy at the little gesture.

Nadeen ask random questions while she makes her crown and I answer to what I can watching her.

"Done!" She stands up with what I assumed to be a flower crown but isn't. "Oh look at that! Aren't you the most creative" I hail and she walks to me with it proudly. "That's good work Nads! Pretty sure next time you'll do a better one" I say and she smile happy at the compliments

"C'mon, come and crown Mama. We gotta show Papa a picture" Nadeen placed the already crumbling twigs and flower petals on my head and I pulled her closer to snap a picture.

It has already become a habit at this point, I send Na'eem a picture whenever I and Nadeen are doing an activity together. He seems to love the updates too because he replies to each an everyone of them.

I sent him the picture with a note attached to it

ME: Just got crowned by my baby!!

Na'eem is on his lunch break so I got a pretty early reply

TAFIDA: That's great! Tell Peach she did a good job.

"Papa said you did a good job with the crown" I say to Nadeen who smiled proudly, she gets off on her father's praises more than anything.

TAFIDA: And you look beautiful too, always have.

ME: Thanks

I'm so glad he's not around to witness me blushing like an idiot

TAFIDA: Who is this and what have you done to my cheeky wife?

See why it's not good to be nice to people? They mock you about it.

ME: Lol. Don't think I like your sense of humour.

TAFIDA: Oh there she is. Thought I lost you for a while love.

I just can't with this guy, he's beyond insufferable.

ME: When are you coming home?

It's better I change the topic

TAFIDA: Missed me that bad?

Okay, does he ever gets tired?

ME: You've always been a dreamer Tafida, always.

TAFIDA: Just to keep you ego intact, I'll let that go.

Uh, what?

TAFIDA: I'll be home later than usual. Maybe an hour or two, want to stop by Mammah's. And I missed you too.
