Chapter 15 : I adopted her

Haya's POV

Haniya's death really tore me apart.

What I planned and what was written by Allah Almighty. I wish I could show her Noor. I know she loved kids and she would have been a great support.

Praying my fajr (early morning prayer). I went out of the my room in lawn to have some peace for sometime.

The only question in my mind was .... Where was Shayan .... Why he is not here .....

Thinking about it was making me mad. I saw Sarah getting out of servant quarter to leave for her college. She bid good bye to me and went to her college.

I will confront Sarah about this. I will wait till she comes back. I mentally made a note.

I was thinking but my thoughts were broken by Noor's cry.

I hurriedly went in but before I could reach there Mama was standing at the door staring at her.

I quickly moved in and took her in my arms rocking her slowly.

"Who is she Haya?" Mama asked coming closer to us.

"Uhmm ... Mama .... Actually ...." I didn't know what to say or how to explain the thing to her. I thought for an excuse but whatever I will say one day they will come to know anyway. So there is no point of hiding it.

"Actually ... What" She raised her eyebrows.

"I adopted her" I turned my back towards her and said in one breath while squinting my eyes.

"What!!!" I heard her gasp. "You what?"

"I adopted her" I said again without turning back. I picked her milk bottle.

"Why ... Why did you?" She asked frowning.

"I don't know ..... I just saw her and I loved her .....and .... then ..." I turned back towards her. She was gulping like a fish liked she lost all her words.

I moved to kitchen along with Noor before she could say anything while praying silently.

"Ya Allah please don't make me hurt my parents. Please help me in this"

I took a saucepan to boil the milk. Noor was observing all it silently.

Putting the milk in the bottle. I cooled it down before giving her.

I sat on the kitchen stool with her in my lap. I gave her milk. I was observing her mesmerizing features. Her dark green hazel eyes, filled with innocence. The eyes that held my heart in a cage.

"Haya ...." I was brought back by Mama's voice. I turned back to see her.

"You adopted her?" She questions with her eyes widened.

Nodding at her. I looked back at Noor. Who was pushing the bottle away. She finished drinking I guess.

Than I told her everything form start how I adopted her. Leaving all the part from where I adopted her and that I was staying with Amma because I can't predict there reaction.

After listening to all she inhaled sharply.

"Haya .... You know I can give her to some family that can adopt her" She said making my eyes going wide.

"And why not me!!??" I asked while holding Noor in my arms.

"Because ... You are too young and I have few couples that were asking for new born childs" Mama said blowing my mind away.

"What .... No no ... I am not giving her to anyone" I said controlling myself from yelling at her.

"Haya ...." She watched me like I have grown two heads.
