Chapter 69

Zainab's POV

His finger slowly brushes the skin immediately below my lower lip. What is he up to? I look at him halting my breath, who is contently attentive to what he is doing.

"Silly, you still eat like you are two years old. " He draws away his hand from my face but his eyes are still fixed on the same spot.

I dumbfoundedly touch my lower lip. Perhaps something has stuck on it while eating. I rub the back of my neck in embarrassment as a shy smile appears on my face.

"I can't help when I am hungry. And you know this thing quite well. Don't you?" I chuckle.

He doesn't reply, just shrugs his shoulder.

I divert my gaze from him and it lands on the half-opened window which is showing the scenery from the outside. It's still the day time, though the sunlight has long gone, the white light is still brightening everywhere.

"Shaiq, let's go out, " I suggest to him.

"Now?" He raises a brow.

"So when? After a decade? I want to go around this place, " I say while pouting.

"But Zainab, it's just going to be dark soon. We will go later, " he tries to object.

I let out a frustrating sigh and glare at him.

"Then why have you brought me here? I can't just stay there the whole time. There is no TV and Internet here. I will get so bored here. If I had to just stay at home, then Aunt's house wasn't bad for It," I speak without even pausing for a moment.

Shaiq rubs his forehead while looking at me with irritation. I overlook his expressions and stand up.

"Shaiq, come. It will be fun," I grab his arm and pull him.

But he doesn't even budge a little.

"Please, please, please, please, " I show him puppy eyes while using my all strength on pulling his arm.

Finally, he gets up while a smile is playing on his lips.

"I swear, you always use these cute expressions of yours on me. Silly girl," he slightly hits my forehead with his hand.

I show him a cheeky grin at this. Shaiq shakes his head from side to side while a small smile adorns his face. I again pull his arm in order for him to follow me before he places his hand on my hand, causing me to stop. I look back at him with confusion.

"First let me wash my hands. Will you?" He shows his both hands in front of my eyes.

I chuckle as I nod my head.

I almost fall on the bed as soon as we reach home. I am so dead tired after wandering around with Shaiq for so long. The area is really private and barren at night as well.

I open my eyes when the door gets slide by a banging sound. I watch as Shaiq comes inside, walks towards the bed, and lifts the pillow from my opposite side. He glances at me for a short moment before heading back towards the door.
I set the pillow behind my back on the crown of the bed for the support.

"Where are you going, Shaiq?" I ask while sitting up.

He stops in his track and turns around to look back at me.

"To the other room, for sleeping," he answers.

"But the other room doesn't have any bed if I remember correctly, " I assert.
