FEAR OF FONDNESS

CHAPTER 58 SOLOVIGANT PART-2

Wassal's POV:

The days were entirely absorbed in work. I was used to working in different environments, and it never disturbed my sleep schedule, but now, as she was not with me, obviously, it was her effect that I wasn't able to sleep. I called her every night and sometimes in the day, too, whenever I could find time, but she was not here with me, and it made me feel pathetic. 

I was glad to go home when an unfortunate event of roof collapsing occurred on the site. Fortunately, no labor force was injured and everyone was fine. I visited the site myself, everything was under control.  I don't know what goes wrong when I try to be home early. Due to this event, I called an emergency meeting of the suppliers and labor force leaders. This event could have resulted in worse outcomes. I informed Baba about the circumstances and told him that I would not be able to come this week. I wanted to inform her too but I got to know at midnight myself and in the morning I didn't want to disturb her during her quizzes as she was already stressed about it. It was not that I was thinking that she would be sadistic upon hearing this news but I just didn't want to disturb her during her lecture.

I was changing positions in the comforter when I heard a knock on the door. It was a bit strange as it was one in the night and I wasn't expecting any familiar one here. But on unlocking the door, I saw Mustafa with a cheerful smile and packets of fast food.

.............................................

I was watching him eating lacinia at 1 at midnight. This man was the most weird creature I had seen in my whole life. He was a master of making the worst mixtures. Like now he was eating green tea with Lacinia. "What?"He said in a barely audible voice, a his mouth was full of lizania. "You said not to eat on your bed, I'm eating on the couch right now, what's the deal?" He asked and started munching again. I shook my head and sighed. "How are you here?" I asked settling my elbow on the side. He signaled me with his index finger, chewing. He gulped the bite and said, " I thought you would be missing me!" with a smirk on his face. "Cut the crap" I sighed. "I can miss the whole world except you". "Oh you mean, Bhabi!" He quickly encountered with a huge grin. Yeah, she is the whole world for me. A smile appeared on the edges of my lips. 

" هو ها! ستا د واده کابو یو کال تیر شو او دلته هم ستا موسکا نه ختمیږي" (ah ha! its been almost an year of your marriage and here your smile is not even fading).  He commented taking another bite.  I admitted with a smile. "how's your accidental marriage going?" He asked amidst eating. I took a deep breath, "Well...good actually!" I answered after a moment of contemplating. I thought I should not be thankless, as she is now way more comfortable with me than before. I remember how she used to hang between a simple conversation and how she used to stay silent for hours. 

"Well, what does that mean?" he asked after a second. I stood straight up from my position. "That means it's going well," I answered again. "And that means?" He asked sipping his tea. I sighed at his dumbness. "It means it's well, but not too well" I explained. But his facial expressions were telling him he didn't understand a bit. Now he was taking a long sip, maybe attempting a useless try to understand. The irritating sound of his empty cup was irritating enough. He parted his mouth and started again, "But what does tha_" Before he could complete I cut him, "Don't dare to ask that dumb question again!". I warned him. "Then why the hell are you talking in codes. I am not a spy, who would be able to decode you decipher!" His point wasn't that wrong as he was not the one in a marriage, I was. He was still single, or maybe now he was single. " Explain in simple words man!" He told me. I sat up straight and so did he. "Yes tell now!" He said as he straight up curiously. 

"Look! She...you know...our relationship is going better, but not that better, she is now comfortable with me, but you know she is not that close like she should be, like a wife is, you know like a wife should be, but she is close now" I explained.
