To The Straight Path.

Chapter 61.

Eira walked from there without realising that their hands were still intertwined with each other.

"This is my tigress I was waiting for." He mumbled near her ear making her still on her place, she looked up at him with a blush.

"I love you Eira." He said looking deeply in her eyes, he couldn't hold back his emotions now.

Tears started brimming in her eyes, and rolled down to her cheeks.

With his shaky hands he cupped her face and wiped off her tears, she leaned in his touch, feeling those warm hands of his.

She slowly kept her hands on his feeling his skin. They were looking deeply in each other's eyes and both of their eyes were covered with tears.

"Please.." she wanted to say something but their moment got disturbed by a lady.

"Katherine?" She called and Eira immediately took a step back, Umar looked at that lady frustratedly.

"Uh yes?" She asked.

"Breakfast isn't ready yet." She stated in anger.

"Oh yes, I'll prepare."

"No need, there will be food supply from our side." Umar replied with the same anger she was reflecting.

"No, it's our rule that breakfast shouldn't be from outside."

"Umar, I'll go. You can rest for some time." She replied softly looking up at him.

"No, I'm coming with you." He replied.

"Please."

"Woman! We don't have all day, go now." She said in an extremely loud and cold voice.

Umar tried to go near her but Eira held his fist. She slowly interwined her fingers with his and went from there to the kitchen area.

"Why are tolerating this Eira?"

"Leave them." She replied with a slight smile and started doing her work.

He sat on one of the stool near her.

She was cutting the onions and tomatoes but he took it from her and started chopping it, after washing his hands.

She tried to stop him but he didn't listen to her and was doing his work professionally. She sighed and started doing the other things.

She lighted the stove but he immediately turned it off, she looked at him confused.

"You are never going to be near fire."

"And why is that?" She asked back.

"Because I'm saying so."

She looked at him weirdly.

"Umar I've to cook, kids might be hungry."

"Guide me I'll do."

"Just sit here and talk to me." She made him sit back.

"Eira.."

"Please Umar, nothing is going to happen and now that you are here I don't think even an insect could bite me." She said in a flow but immediately turned around realising her own words, he grinned looking at her getting shy.

She started preparing and he was chopping the vegetables while glancing at her time to time. The two men who came with Umar checked upon him and after he told that he was managing it they went to look other things.

He hissed a little and she immediately snapped her face in his direction. There was a little blood oozing out from his finger.

She looked at him with wide eyes and her breathing quickened, her body started trembling and her heart beat was getting erratic.
