Chapter 13 - Moments with family

Edited***

Alyza's p.o.v

"Uh... Umm.. Why are y..you starring at me like this?" I looked at him quizingly. His gaze always manage to increase my body temperature.
"Shehzad?!!!?" I cried looking at him who's still starting at me for past five minutes. I glanced down at my abaya, does it look bad? I looked up at him again but still no movement.

What the...

Somebody please tell him to stop starring at me like this!!! I plead in my head. We have been in the car since 5 minutes, but he hasn't averted his gaze at all!!
He is still starring! Now I'm really starting to panic.

I bring my hand up and slap his face lightly and say his name aloud.
"Hello! Mr Khan!!"

"Uh?" He blinked his eyes several times and then turn back towards his steering wheel.
Why is he acting this way?

"Shehzad, you okay?" I ask softly and place my hand on his arm.

"Ah... Yeah.. Yeah I'm fine" he said still not looking at me as he put the key in the ignition and start the car.

I frown at his words. I know there is something wrong. He can never lie to me, but what could it be? Ever since I opened my room door, I saw him leaning against the wall deep in his some thoughts since he didn't even realise my presence. I called him twice to which he finally came back on his thoughts and quickly held my hand and walked out to the car. I looked at him, who hasn't even looked at me once since I stepped out of room. He was fine till he left my room, what could happen in those less than ten minutes while I was getting ready? Oh... OH OMG!

"STOP!" I scream suddenly, and look at him wide eyed shockingly.

The car suddenly stops, so fast, that I could've hit my head with the dashboard if it wasn't for the seat belt, but I don't care.

"What happened? You okay????" Shehzad asks me with wide concern eyes.

Instead of answering, I quickly pull down the mirror. Un pinning my scarf from the top, I bring the top part back down and quickly do a niqab , covering my whole face besides eyes and some forehead.

"What are you doing!?" Shehzad asks but ignore him. Ifinish doing my niqab, and turn back to him with anger rising in me.

"Turn back the car to the house now and this minute!" I say in low voice, pointing my finger at him.

Tears starting to form in my eyes, but I push them back and glare at him at hard as I can.

"What? Why? What happened ... " he tries to say but I cut him off immediately.

"I said turn back now, we can't go shopping, no never. Shehzad turn back please." I turn away from him seeing hurt and confusion all over his face. A tear escapes my eye.

"Okay...." He speaks softly and start the car turning back towards home.

How could I be so irresponsible! Days! Three days I had but didn't think of this. Gosh!!

Shehzad, he tracks Shehzad, what if he already seen us? Ya Allah... Why didn't I think of this. Two tears find their way out.

The car stops infront of the house, quickly opening the door I run inside the house.

"Alyza... Alyza what's wrong?" Auntie comes rushing out of kitchen since her hands are still full of flour.

I stop in my tracks, wanting to ask her so badly how could they risk our life? But mama would be sleeping, thinking that I run to the room and fall on the bed.
