      I walked down the stairs slowly my heart skipping its beat. I felt Yasir's gaze on me but I just had to keep calm.

"Hey... lets go?" I said and he nodded blindly. "Ok I'll just inform maama that I'm leaving" I mumbled "ok" he replied ......

"Wooow!! You look so fruitful! " Amal shouted clapping.

"No she look gorgeous!" Ahil chirped in and we all laughed "dont be silly guys anyway thank you"I said whiles laughing.

"common lets go" I sad and they were in front, too excited to walk slowly. "They were right, you look breathtaking" Yasir whispered.
"Thank you" I replied with my head face down.... I just hoped he didn't see me blushing I thought.

The drive to the mall was as if we were travelling out of the country. Ahil was in front just staring at every move his big brother does.

"Ahil? Are you ok?" I asked "yes but no.... I just want to learn how to drive" he replied never lifting his gaze from Yasirs hands. I chuckled lowly playing with Amal.

"You drive so slow" I said "you think so?" He asked "maybe you want to drive?" Ge added and I squeezed my face "no" I mumbled.... minutes later, we were parked in front of this Al-Noor mall.

"Yeey!!! We're here!" Amal clapped before  jumping off the car ad Ahil followed suit.

"Careful!" I said from behind but they were already out of sight.
"Lets go?" Yasir asked and I nodded. We went to so many places.
Amal and Ahil gathered too many toys for more than 4 people.

They ate all sorts and they still were not ok."this kids never cease to amaze me"I said laughing at how they ran around in the playground" I said but yasir was quite. .. 'that's unlike him' I thought before turning around to look at him.. he was moody all of a sudden.. I look at him puzzled...."Yasir? Are you ok?" I asked "..... until when should I wait?" He asked. I don't know if he was conscious or not where did all that come from? I thought.  "What?" I said "I asked you a question. .... I don't know why you intend to hurt my feelings.... even after you know how I feel you still keep me in the dark.... I love you Aaidah and I cant see the vision of my future without you....." he continued....I was speechless. ...... "Yasir... I... " I started but he cuts me off "... what are you going to say this time? You're scared?  For goodness sake Aaidah I'm not some stranger that you can be afraid of you know. ... I'm family.. you can trust me" he said with his voice depressing.... "I.. I'm sorry Yasir its not that I....." "... just turn your back on me one more time Aaidah,  and I promise. ... by Allah you will never see me again...... after all this years I had to battle with the fact that you turned me down... you didn't know what I had gone through all this years but now Aaidah, I've made up my mind.... I'll leave so I wont be a distraction for you..... so its your choice" he said "Yasir please dont say that.... it's just that....  I ...." I blabbered "its ok..." he said "it is?" I asked "yeah... Ahil Amal! Lets go!" He said "I promised umma that I'll bring you home safely... so lets go" he said without even looking at me 'Aaidah!!' My conscience spoke.
The drive back home was a silent one.

"But yaya ! We're not supposed to go home yet its still early!" Amal said "yes and we've not gone to see the animals" Ahil added "I'm sorry guys I'm tired" Yasir said bluntly "but we're not! I'm hungry already" Amal cried but Yasir ignored.

"I'm telly mummy! " she added pushing her little mouth foward.... Minutes later, we arrived at our house.... I bade them good bye and left..... "what have I done?!"I shrugged before going in. 'Make things right girl' my conscience spoke......
