Just let me love you.. again (SEASON I)

chapter 13

"What happened?" I asked

"What was that?"

"What was what?" I frowned

"Why were you giving looks to Reem?"

"I wasn't"

"Buddy! Don't fall for her fake charm."

"I am not falling for anything don't over react"

He opened his mouth to say something but got disturbed by a knock on the door.

"Come in" I said, the door opened and Reem entered, I was surprised to see her, oh no! What if she heard our conversation

"Come for dinner" she said, just a small gesture made my heartbeat fluttered, a genuine smile broke on my face

"Ok. Let's go" I said, I walked a step towards her, but athar pulled me back

"You go, we are coming" he told her, she nodded and left

"What?" I asked

"That girl is bad news, try to get rid of her. Don't accept her in your life please, she will just hurt you" he said with concern, I sighed deeply and put my hand on his shoulder

"Don't worry buddy. I know what I am doing"

"Then why do you look attracted to her?" He raised his eyebrows

Really? Do i?

"That's not true" i immediately denied, he gave me an "oh really" look.

"I know you so well, I can tell when you are lying"

"I'm not lying, I'm just trying a different approach with her. Maybe she will mend her ways then" I explained, he heaved a sigh

"Don't get hurt, I will not be able to see it"

"I won't" I smiled, "now let's go before Reem comes again"

"What is she even doing here? Why has she come?"

"Dadi must have called her" I shrugged

"I just don't like her" he shook his head, i chose to not reply

We came to the dining room, everyone was already seated. Athar and I were going to sit, but maa told me to sit next to Reem, she straightened as I dropped next to her. she seemed uneasy

"I'm so hungry" hayat shouted and was about to pick up the biryani dish, but dada ji stopped her, "what?" She asked

"My wife has made food for me, I will taste it first" he said looking lovingly at dadi, she nodded her head

"He is right, I made it for him specially" dadi blushed

"Dadi you give him first morsel from your hand" hayat said, dadi served food in dada ji's plate, and prepared a morsel, he opened his mouth but before she could feed him Athar spoke

"Wait wait"

"Now what?" Dadi asked

"Let me take a picture" he grinned. Our perfect models began posing for the camera, the sight made us smile. I looked at Reem from my peripheral vision, there was a genuine smile on her lips, it made her look so innocent.

"SubhanAllah it tastes amazing" dada ji smiled, dadi looked proud of herself

"Really?" She asked, dada ji nodded

"Can we have food now?" hayat asked getting impatient

"Please" dadi nodded

Reem picked up the salad platter and put some in my plate, I stared at her in disbelief, she was behaving exactly how mummy behaves with papa, and dadi with dada ji
