"I was watching you"

I opened Rabi'ah's text message and I showed it to him

He read it before he turned to look at me

I looked away "it's my fault"

"It's not" he says as he held my hand

"It is, Remember when I told you that Ya Abdul and I talked that day, and I said I would talk to Rabi'ah? Well if I told her earlier, Ya Abdul won't be here"

"How sure are you he wouldn't have acted the same way even if you were involved in the matter, don't blame yourself Hameeda, it's destiny, that's how it's meant to be"

"He'll be ok, In Sha Allah" he added

I gave him a smile before I gave his hand a squeeze

"Yesterday.." I said trying to take my mind off Ya Abdul and also because I was curious about how things ended

He looked at me "Yeah, you didn't want to listen"

I frowned a little "more like you didn't want to tell me"

He sighed "of course I told Nafisa Yes"

I frowned at him

He continued speaking "I told her that so she'll come down, she was intoxicated, she wouldn't even bring up the topic again when she's sober trust me she knows I and her can't get married, and even if she does bring it up, I'll sort it out"

I felt childish for saying what I was about to say but I needed to convince myself "so you're not leaving me?"

He laughed "No, I am not"

I smiled at myself

I'm in trouble

I decided to change the topic

"Should I tell Rab'iah about this" I asked

He thought for some seconds before he shook his head "You should, but not now"

"Thank you Umar" I said

He shook his head

I didn't know why I was thanking him, but at that moment it seemed like the best thing to do

My hands couldn't seem to control themselves as they went to cup his face

His eyes turned to me and he held my waist as i raised myself up I moved closer to him

i looked into his eyes that were filled with shock and amusement

Probably wondering where I got my bravery from

He dragged me to his lap and I sat down wrapping my hands around his shoulders

He leaned down and he captured my lips with his

I smiled before i returned the kiss

I could feel his smile too
