Perfect Lies (Editing)

Chapter Twelve

Third Person POV

Jauhar took a deep breath as she closes her eyes. This is all a nightmare that will be over once she open her eye. That's what she has been convincing herself since she felt Mujaheed's hand on hers.

Her eyes was still close when she heard him close his side and drove out of their street. She rested her head on the head rest with her hand under her chin while she gaze through the window intensely. If you will asked her right now what she I thinking, she can't answers that cause she herself, doesn't know what she is thinking and she doesn't know what thinking. Her mind is just blank.

Mujaheed turn and gaze at her then took his gaze back to the road. She seems a little dazzle but at least she seems better than when he saw her standing there with Najib, that's before her brother interrupt. She might act tough and what not, but for some reason he can see right through her. Her physical feature scream help when he march his leg inside their house, but she was desperately trying to conceal it.

He thinks that's exactly what Aminu sense that's why he came to help her. And in his opinion, Najib is been such a jerk, how can he come to his girlfriend house and shout at her just because he is engage to her. That didn't give him any right on her.

That was just so very disrespectful of him, he didn't even think about her family. That just show how much of a complete idiot he is. How can you do that to your fiance and someone like Jauhar for that matter.

He took a quick glance at her. She is still staring outside intensely. He sighed when he realize she is not even wearing her seat beat. "Jauhar" he called. But no answer, that didn't stop him, he just continue with "I think you might want to put on your seat beat" while tapping on the wheel calmly.

Still, she didn't even flinch rather, her eyes in still focus outside. Mujaheed gaze at her then scoff in disbelief. Is she seriously thinking of the jerk?

He continue driving without uttering another words to her. He simply thought he did the right thing, but right now staring at her face made him think maybe he had cross the line. But what was he supposed to do when he saw that idiot mistreating her.

He continue driving without any destination in mind. Right now the way she looks he knows that even if he where to ask her she wouldn't have an answer for him. He didn't think that he will meet her at home knowing everyone is so busy preparing for his so call wedding, his friends are also looking for him for some last minute preparation, so he ditched them.

Bappa already made the company to grand him leave and forbid him from ever going near the company or the site. And their house is already full with guess. So what better way to spend his time than going to visit his new found family especially after seeing Mama at his parents house, where she told him Aminu Zainab and Bashir are at home.

"Why are we here?" Jauhar asked for the first when she saw him parking the car.

"You're back" Mujaheed said without looking at her as he remove his seat belt then open the car door.

Jauhar adjusted her shoulder bag before she sighed then open her own side of the door. She has been so lost in her thoughts that she forgot to ask him why he even come to the house and where he is taking her.

"Why are we here?" She asked again as the started walking towards the entrance.

Mujaheed gaze at her, he wanted to cheer her up cause he knows definitely what Najib did wasn't right, and he didn't know where to take her so when he saw the sigh of Atican beach and here they're.

"The sun is bright, is such a shame to stay indoor" Mujaheed murmured not having a concrete good reason to tell her.

Jauhar just gaze at the clear sky, is indeed looking nice but what she doesn't understand is how Mujaheed is trying to force himself into the their life especially now when his wedding is just in few days with Maryam. His presence in her life is making her confused and a little bit crazy. The other day after she had that fight with Najib she couldn't help but think what would her relationship will be if she was having it with him.
