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

chapter 65

"Let's go" I said, and held Reem's hand to help her in walking.

My phone rang and I quickly answered it.

"Who was it?" Reem asked

"It was a spam call, so I disconnected" I shrugged, I heard jeeju laughing.

Reem and I were getting down on stairs. I was holding her carefully.

"Aah" Reem yelped while descending the last stair

"Is she ok?" Jeeju asked with concern

"Yeah" I said softly, "Reem please! You need to shift on the ground floor. Going up and down stairs is not good for you"

"I love my room, I will stay there only" she said stubbornly

"She shifted on the ground floor when she was here, then what is her issue now!" Jeeju huffed

"You are taking advantage of everyone's softness towards you" I narrowed my eyes at her, she giggled

"Wow! So melodious" jeeju, the Romeo said hearing her giggle. I stifled a laugh.

Reem and I came to the lawn, it was night time, the weather was also very good. I looked up at the starry sky.

"Thank god the rains have stopped finally" I said.

"Reem would disagree" jeeju said

"Oh please Ayesha! I miss rain so much, it's been a week since there was a last one" she said rolling her eyes.

"Told you" jeeju said, I could imagine him looking proud of himself.

We continued walking for a while, I was telling her about some project I was working on, and she was giving her inputs also.

Reem is interested to get a playhouse built for kids, all the orphanage kids have been demanding her to get one for a very long time. She says now it has become her dream also.

"I'm tired" she sat on the chair while breathing heavily, I sat next to her and passed her water.

"So soon, it has hardly been ten minutes" I said, she narrowed her eyes at me

"It's difficult to walk with such a big tummy, it feels like a watermelon is wrapped around me" she scrunched her nose, I laughed

"I will tell your daughter that you were calling her a watermelon" I said

"Daughter?" Jeeju and Reem said together

"Yeah! I think it's going to be a girl. Actually I want it to be a girl, so that I can spoil her" I said clapping my hands

"Oh no! It's not a girl, it's a boy" Reem said confidently

"Really?" I asked

"Yup" she beamed, I shook my head.

"Well let me believe on what I am hoping for, I have even a list of names" I said, Reem's eyes sparkled

"Seriously? Please tell me" she requested

"Ishal, Misha, Alisha, Maisha, Shifa, sheereen, shafaq, shar..."

"Stoooop" Reem was fed up now, "I don't like any of them" she shook her head vigorously, jeeju was laughing like a maniac

"Ok! Then how about, Ayeza, Ayla, Ayma?" I grinned ear to ear

"You just want a name similar to yours, right?" She asked

"That's the plan" I flashed my teeth, she chuckled

"Then think for boys' name, because it's a boy"

"And how can you be so sure?"
