"Ever since i starts this studies, today was the first day i was so tired." Noor said through the line flipping on her bed.
"I'm sorry!" Asad mumble. "How was the test?"
"Alhamdulillah," she trailed off. "Can we continue?" Noor said her smile widening, Asad sat and lean his back on the headrest taking the book they'll start today.
"You ready?" He asked more like a whisper.
"More than ready!" Noor beamed as she placed her head on the pillow. Asad start the book he download, he wanted to let her study so he offered to read from time to time, but when she had time she'll read.
Asad wanted to do anything Noor wants, he already knew his love for her has no bound that was why he planned to tell Noor about his feelings.
He was reading so elegantly whilst Noor was loving his voice and the story, her eyes starts to closed slowly and in no time Noor's eyes were closed.
"Noor." Asad mumbled as he felt quiet, the silent 'uhm' Noor was murmuring was not there.
His eyes twinkled with a smile as he felt her breath. From seconds to minutes and then hour, Asad continue hearing her breath without cutting the call, his heart beat faster than usual as he listened, every moments he spent with her coming back bit by bit.
He remembered the first time he set his eyes on her, she was the first person who made him apologize to someone. He beamed remembering how she joked whilst scolding him.
It was true at first he thought she was lying when she said she was blind. Noor told him she was blind since birth, it was one of the reasons he wants to propose to her, he wanted to tell her he love her, if she accept him, they'll get married and then when she became his, Asad was planning on taking to any hospital in the world, he wants to fulfill her dream of seeing her family, art collections, nature as well as his face that she said she wants to see.
Around 3am Noor woke up, she roamed her palms on the bed and found her phone, Noor gasped as she placed the phone on her ear and found it was still on, Asad's silent breath coming directly to her. She quickly removed the phone and cut the call.
She heaved a long sigh of relief her hand on her heart feelings how her heart was beating. Sitting there for minutes she bring her legs out and placed them on the floor, stood up and head to the bathroom without any fear, it was late at night, darkness all over but to Noor there was no light in her life, morning, evening and night were all the same for her.
She finished her desires, came out, and go back to bed thinking of Asad until a deep sleep took over her.
Morning
"I'll get you ready in the most beautiful clothes today so Asad won't be able to take his eyes off you!" Jasrah beamed going through Noor's closet.
Noor who was on her bed, a towel on her body was fiddling with her fingers. Today Asad offered to take her to the most beautiful and renowned gallery in town, and Jasrah was saying it was their first date.
"Jasrah we're just friends, don't exaggerate please!" Noor said exasperated by her friends silliness. Jasrah walked holding the clothes she bring out.
"Uhm.." she stands in front of Noor using her fingers in a silly way. "I'm sure he love you Noor, his eyes always say it every time he look at you." Jasrah danced.
Noor stand and held out her hand.
"Give me." She pout earning a smile from her friend.
Noor collect the clothes, after getting ready she came out in a denim jeans, black shirt, Jasrah help Noor with her black scarf which was wrapped around her low bun, pink heavy sweater was placed on her shoulder.
"Jasrah Asad is just a friend, my reading friend, and on top of that he's Yaya Waheeda's boss, Second of the Ameen brothers." Noor said walking to their shoe rack, she took a beautiful black boot, wore them and turned to her friend.
"Yes I'm right, he was the Ameen Hamood you knew." Noor states feeling how Jasrah was flabbergasted.
After minutes of processing the words, Jasrah opened her mouth. "That's why he was so familiar!" She walked to her friend and entwined their arms. "Let hurry up I want to see him again.
They came out and found Waheeda walking on her laptop. "Oh you guys are looking so cute. Take care of yourself Ok?" Waheeda said and the girls answered her, Noor turned to a direction and entered her father's room, she bade him goodbye while Jameel Bilal looked at her.
"Take care of yourself, i let you go only because this was the first time you had a friend other than Jasrah, don't do anything silly." He mumbled and Noor give him a hug.
"Thanks dad!" She came out, Waheeda told her Jasrah was talking to Mansour. Smiling at the couple cuteness Noor came out.

Asad
He arrived, twenty minutes before the time they scheduled. He was wearing a blue shirt dress, the long sleeve rolled up revealing his muscled arms, expensive glasses on his nose bridge, his handsome face standing out.
To kill time Asad took his phone and engulfed himself in looking at Noor's pictures.
His phone rang, he let it end and later on call.
"Salaam we just arrived, we're outside." Noor mumbled as she took the call. Asad raised his head, his golden brown eyes were set on the most beautiful grey eyes. He was looking at her, her eyes which were coincidentally on his, still wondering how those beautiful eyes can't see.
He hurriedly came out from his car, and walked to them.
"Hi." Jasrah said her eyes widened as she believed he was really Asad Ameen Hamood. "Noor he really was an Ameen Hamood!" She whispered yelled close to Noor's ear earning a smile from Asad.
"You idiot he can hear you." Noor rolled her eyes which was a sight for Asad. "Hi Asad don't mind her."
"Good morning!"
"Ah good morning." Noor greeted back shyly.
"Shall we?" They entered, the place was quite. Asad wants the first day he took her out to be special so he rented the entire place for his queen. With him behind while the two girls ahead, Noor enjoyed the art so much. If she saw something amazing she would turned and thank the man who was responsible for it.
"Thank you Asad!" Noor beamed as she and Asad sat on a sofa.
"Noor Yaya Mansour is calling me I'll go outside and answer." Jasrah said walking to the door after she smiled at Asad.
It was silent for moments, Noor hold her hands happy for her experience whilst Asad eyed her adorable face, his gaze fixed on the eyes that were looking ahead.
"I woke up late yesterday and you're still on the line." Noor was still looking forward, fiddling with her fingers. "You should have end the call."
"I wanted to be with you for some moments."Asad said what he wanted to say for a long time.
"Uhmm." Noor pout without knowing the new feelings that always came to her when ever she was with him.
"That was a waste of credi.."
"Noor," Asad said more like a whisper, he closed his eyes, for the first time being nervous. "To be honest with you..i had fallen in love with you." The words he craved to tell her were now out.
Noor on the other hand was still, her heart was beating in a beautiful safe way, she quickly placed her palm on her heart.
Taking in a deep breath, she looked at his direction even though she can't see him. "Why is my heart beating this hard?" She said innocently, her lips set in a pout.
He gazed at her, looked away then immediately looked at her again his handsome face softening. "Did i hear you wrong earlier?" She mouth her hand still on her chest.
"Noor i love you, you heard me right."
"I..i..well...." Noor stuttered not knowing what to say.
"You don't have to answer me now, take your time."
Noor
