TAEHYUNG POV
"Let's go inside", My warrior's sister dragged her inside, in an attempt to save me. Ayzal... I remember that's what her name is. I need to remember it; she is my warrior's sister. According to my observation, she really loves her sister a lot.
The only person whom I ever saw her listening to in anger is Ayzal. "I need to remember and observe everything related to my warrior", I reminded myself and walked after them.
"Little puppy do I really look like this beside her?", I contemplated this in my mind. I don't think so but even if I did it doesn't matter.
"I'll be anything just to stay beside my love", I whispered to myself. I came into the living room again and saw Leena sitting there but did it bother me? No, never.
Without even trying my eyes again went to Yazia who was standing with my mother talking. My warrior surely talks a lot. "Taehyung go call Ha-Joon, we are going to have dinner", my mother turned her attention to me and asked me. I gave her a look of disapproval.
"I am hurt can't run around after anyone so you can tell a servant to call them", I stated and walked towards her and just stood at a fair distance from my warrior leaning on the backrest of the couch.
"Yeah, he can't run behind anyone except someone important", Namjoon hyung said and stood up. I am noticing him for a while he is talking too much. Usually, he doesn't care but today he is really up to something. Soon I heard a scoff, and it surely came from Leena. I looked at Yazia she had a smirk on her face and then Namjoon had the same smirk. What's going on?
"Come on kids let's go to the dining table food is served", Mom announced, and everyone started to walk towards the dining hall. "Mom, where is Dad I asked her she pointed at the dining table. "There." Dad sat there and looked up at the number of people there.
"We've got a lot of people here", he remarked, his tone betraying his slight bewilderment. It was evident that he is not much fond of large gatherings. Ha-Joon appeared behind me, his presence adding to the crowd. "I'm here too", he announced, making his way over to the table casually.
"I thought you suddenly got mature and decided to stop wasting time when I didn't see you for weeks, but..." Dad's playful sigh was interrupted by a chuckle. "Here you are", he added with a grin.
I ignored them and diverted my attention to the most important person she stood there and just enjoyed the whole banter. Suddenly, she gave a thumbs up, a simple gesture that caught me off guard.
Narrowing my eyes, I couldn't help but wonder who she was signaling to. Following the direction of her gaze, I noticed Namjoon hyung doing the same. A surge of jealousy and frustration swept through me like wildfire.
How dare he? The urge to confront him, to slam his head against the table surged within me. I felt restless, my emotions threatening to overflow as I struggled to contain the seething anger brewing inside. It took all my willpower to resist the urge to act on my impulses.
As they both started to get along, a sense of unease crept over me. Weren't they always fighting? Shouldn't things be the way they were? I walked towards the table pulled a chair and looked at my warrior then pulled the chair beside me for her. She came too and looked around the table, and then her eyes met mine.
I smiled warmly, gesturing towards the chair beside me that I had pulled out. Watching her approach filled me with joy; she is going to sit beside me. It felt like something inside me burst with happiness.
She reached the chair, however, she simply stood there, not even glancing in my direction. Confusion crept into my smile as I waited for her to take a seat. "Fatima, you can sit here it's almost on the side it's convenient for you", I looked at her narrowing my eyes, Did she just call her sister to sit here?
Her sister listened and sat there nodding at her command it is what I would call. I licked my lip, my gaze locking with hers as we exchanged glares. The intensity of her stare sent a shiver down my spine, hell I can't do it anymore it's really euphoric and if she kept looking in my eye this directly I'd melt in seconds.
Averting my eyes I looked around the table. "Don't look at me like that, it made me weak", I chuckled at my thought.
Yazia just moved away finding only the left seat. And for fucks sake it should be beside Namjoon. I am on fire in a bad way. I kept my eye on her momentarily glaring at Namjoon who is oblivious. I know he is not a threat but still, I can't just see my warrior with anyone. The thought just blows my mind with anger.
"Am I jealous?" I asked myself, feeling a twinge of insecurity I hadn't felt before. It's strange because I've never really felt this way about anyone else. Usually, I don't let things bother me, but with her, it's different. Her being with someone else just drives me crazy.
"Not even I can really explain how much I love about her," I whispered to myself, the words coming out softer than I intended. My feelings for her are so intense, it's like nothing I've ever felt before. When she's around, it's like my whole world revolves around her
I sat on the chair and let out a heavy sigh, my gaze fixed on the one person who deserved every ounce of my attention—my warrior. "One day, she will never be able to sit away from me. I'll make that day come fast." I vowed to myself.
I just sat there looking at My warrior. Who's all attention is on my mother? To my worst Leena sat beside me on my right. She annoys me. Last time she just tried to take advantage of my drunk situation. Now she is just budging me. "Tae.. Are you coming to the nightclub this Sunday?", Leena disturbed me again.
Why the fuck she can't stop calling me Tae it's only for my close one. "Stop calling me that", I told her and diverted my attention to the empty plate. "Let's start", My mom said excitedly and everyone attacked the food. I was looking at My warrior. My appetite died the moment she walked past me.
"I wouldn't have taken that seat but I can't take my veil off", Ayzal said politely she is quite soft if my warrior would be here it would not even be soft. I nodded understanding her concern.
However, my patience was tested when Leena, with her usual lack of tact, interjected with a scoff. "If you're that concerned about someone seeing what's inside this package, why even bother coming outside?" she remarked, her words dripping with disdain.
I glared at her she can't use this kind of not with anyone connected to my warrior. Ayzal didn't even retort or anything just ignored her. If my warrior was there Leena would have been regretting her birth.
"You don't get to talk like that, It's her choice what she wants", I told Leena and my tone was loud enough to grab everyone's attention. "I-", I cut Leena off.
"Why are you trying to mock her for what her choice is, It's her choice and her life why do you care?" If my warrior is not aware then I can protect things and people she cares and love.
"What happened Taehyung? Why are you being rude?", Mom asked and I glared at Leena I just wanted her away. We had the same mutual benefits together we used each other but now I don't have anything to say or talk to her. I told her off many times. She is being stubborn and I hate stubborn people who never listen to me.
"Except the queen of my heart", this thought lingered in my mind. "It's okay," Ayzal's calm voice interrupted my turbulent thoughts. How could she be so composed in all this chaos? I glanced at Ayzal, her eyes reflecting nothing but kindness and understanding. She was so different from her sister—my warrior—in every way possible.
"What are you guys doing?", Dad asked confused I just looked back at my plate and served myself some biriyani. "Nothing just talking", I told him and started eating. "Thank you", I heard the low voice of Ayzal and shrugged.
"You are important for my warrior and I'll protect everything related to her."
AUTHORS POV
As everyone indulged in dinner, the room seemed to divide into three distinct groups. Some were visibly happy and excited, their laughter echoing through the room. Others seemed unbothered, content to enjoy their meal in peace. But it was the third group that stood out—the jealous ones.
Kim Taehyung was the prominent one he was just glaring at Namjoon who was enjoying his fullest. "I love the food, it's very tasty, especially this rice," Namjoon remarked between bites, scooping up another spoonful. "I've never eaten anything this delicious."
"Aren't you enjoying your life too much?" Taehyung snapped at Namjoon, his frustration bubbling to the surface as he struggled to contain his jealousy.
Namjoon looked genuinely confused by the sudden outburst, but before he could respond, Yazia interjected with a sharp retort. "What's your problem if he is? You should get a life," she shot back instead of Namjoon making him quiet.
"I can't argue with you warrior at least not when I am mad and you are making me more mad", Taehyung thought in his mind. "Yazia your advice is good, apply on yourself too", Ayzal said in a mischievous tone.
Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle at the exchange. "What will you do now, huh? Fight with me? Come on," he teased Yazia, his tone playful as he goaded her on. Yazia pointed the table knife in his direction.
"Fatima told you to get like not knife, put it down." Taehyung raised his hands in surrender, a grin still playing on his lips. "Alright, alright, I surrender," he conceded, knowing better than to push his luck with his warrior.
Taehyung simply chuckled at her response. "Possessive, huh? I like that," he teased, earning himself a deadly glare from Yazia. "Can't you just stay quiet?"
"I agree with the fire extinguisher, you both should go and get a life together", Namjoon Suggested being done by their banter like it's their usual routine and they can't digest food without bricking. "Shut up!", Both Taehyung and Yazia said in union.
Ayzal was laughing till something hit her mind. "Did... did he...?", She thought in mind and let out a soft hiss. "Hey who did he call fire extinguisher?", Ayzal said in an offended tone which didn't sound much offended. "You", Both Yazia and Taehyung went on in unison again.
Ayzal looked at Yazia and said in a defensive tone. "I am your sister you should stand up for me." Yazia scoffed playfully, "Like you did stand up for me." Even after saying all this she turned to Namjoon with a dissatisfied look. "If she is a fire extinguisher then what are you? a lighter?"
They all laughed at Yazia's nonsense words. "Fight with each other let me aside please...", Namjoon said pulling his chair away from Yazia. There was a lot of laughter around. Ha-Joon chuckled and choked on food. Soo-Jin offered him water immediately.
"What they are doing?", Mr. Kim looked around at the chaos on the table. "I feel like we got a zoo at home", Mrs. Kim laughed at his words and looked at them bantering and laughing.
"It's cute, I really can predict the future you should get yourself ready to see this daily", Her words just confused Mr. Kim. "What are you saying? I didn't quite get you?"
"You know you will not, we'll talk tonight", Mrs. Kim said, she kept admiring them. Her son smiling like this is a big win for her.
Leena looked at them feeling left out. The biggest sting is how whipped Taehyung is for Yazia.
"I never liked her she just attracted attention to herself", Leena thought in her mind, then she saw Taehyung holding his ear and smiling at her mouthing sorry Yazia rolled her eyes, and the look in Taehyung's eyes never seen before. She scoffed and stood up gaining no attention. They all were busy in their own word they created.
"Mrs. Kim I am getting late, I should get going food was really nice", Leena said gaining attention. Mrs. Kim nodded and gave a smile. "Take care then." Leena nodded picking up her purse she left with hurt feelings. She is envious of the treatment Yazia gets but not her.
"I came first in Taehyung's life then how can she just get all this?", Leena sobbed out and walked out of the house in anger.
Aside from that dinner went well they all enjoyed the food Yazia and Ayzal went back home safely. Taehyung was sitting on the kitchen island smiling at his mother who was directing maids about work. For a while, she just ignored her son who kept staring at her with a big smile.
At last, she had enough and narrowed her eyes at Taehyung. "What?", Mrs. Kim inquired. "Thank you for everything you did for me today", Taehyung said expressing his genuine gratitude.
"Ayego!!! My son, who never cares saying thank you to me?' Taehyung chuckled at her words. "I am trying my best."
"Yeah... yeah now get out and give Ha-joon company", his mother told him and he jumped down the shelf. "Ok, but I am sure he doesn't need one", Saying this Taehyung just walked out of the kitchen towards the living room and saw Ha-Joon sitting beside his girlfriend. Namjoon is nowhere to be seen.
"Hey! Come here dude we need solid talk", Ha-joon called Taehyung when he saw him coming. Taehyung sat on the couch in front of them and leaned back. "What?", Taehyung unbrotherly asked.
"You like that stubborn woman for real? But how?", Ha-joon was curious but his words triggered a rage in Taehyung, who shot Ha-joon a death glare. "How can you say that huh? She is my friend", Soo-Jin intervened with a light slap on Ha-joon's shoulder.
"Don't talk about my warrior like that or I'll pull your tongue out", Taehyung warned Ha-Joon. He just looked at Taehyung dumbfound. "Sorry but man you are too much into this shit", Ha-Joon stated the fact Taehyung knew a while ago. The fact he is deep in love, he knew it, Taehyung just shrugged.
"You... changed a lot in these few weeks you really changed beyond my imagination", Ha-Joon's tone was serious. Taehyung noticed his seriousness and licked his lips. "How so?", is what Taehyung asked.
Ha-Joon's gaze bore into Taehyung, his expression grave. "You used to be arrogant, never saw you getting emotionally attached to anyone, let alone a girl. You were a party freak, always out all night, messing around with girls, and nothing was more important than a shooting match for you. Now look at yourself," Ha-Joon paused, searching Taehyung's face for any sign of reaction.
Taehyung remained silent, his expression unreadable as he listened to Ha-Joon's observations.
"It's been a while since you hooked up, not even went to a nightclub. And how much do you think about guns and shooting in a day?" Ha-Joon continued, his concern evident in his voice.
Taehyung's fingers absently traced the bandage on his head as he contemplated Ha-Joon's words. "I don't know," he admitted quietly, his thoughts drifting to the one person who had consumed his every waking moment. "All I had in my mind... all I have... is her."
"Awe... Ha-Joon I never thought I'll root for Taehyung one day", Soo-Jin said hugging Ha-Joon from side. "I know Yazia is not much fan of you but I saw something in her eyes for sure", Soo-Jin continued. "I wonder how you did that but I am rooting for you both look so good together."
"Where is Namjoon hyung?", Taehyung asked and Ha-joon pointed upstairs. "With your father. He took him to his house office I guess."
Ha-Joon thought for a while and then hesitated but asked. "How did Namjoon and your lady get along well last time I saw them met was a disaster. They really insulted each other badly and according to my last information they loath each other."
Taehyung expression just got sour the remainder of today Yazia giving a thumbs up to Namjoon then her sitting beside him just put him on edge.
"I don't even want to talk about that", Taehyung declared in strange anger. Ha-Joon and Soo-Jin gave each other knowing looks with smiles on their faces.
YAZIA POV
I just took a shower and came out of the bathroom with a towel around my head. It was a tiring day I never expected it to be this much... I don't even know how to explain it. I saw Ayzal sitting on my bed.
She was dressed in a comfortable-looking hoodie, paired with a matching set of sweatpants. Her hair was left untied. I remember her crying to have my hair as a child I never got why because her hair is pretty, But if I could give her mine, I would.
"You offered your Isha Salah?", She asked me and I nodded. "Yes I did but what are you doing here?", I inquired and she smiled and played down on my bed. "Let's sleep together." I chuckled at her words.
"I thought you didn't like me cuddling you", I asked putting aside the towel getting on the bed and moving close to her. She picked up a pillow as a shield.
"Stay away from me I never agreed to cuddle I don't like it", She has been like that since childhood Just trying to run away from me if I behaved touchily I never understood her. She is the shoulder I can lean on when I am down but she gets flustered when I show physical affection like hugging.
"Nah... Nah.. Nah... come here let me hug you, my baby sister." Being a big sister it's my job to love her- annoy her. Despite her resistance, I hugged her while lying on the bed she struggled and whined a lot and I kissed her cheek. "My sweet sister", I said cooing.
"Ugh... Stop doing black magic on me and get away", She is cute I love her. I chuckled and got away not making her more mad. "Why are you here now tell me?", I asked her and she looked hesitant.
"What do you want to say?", I asked her again she sat down on the bed properly pushing her hair behind. "I think Taehyung is nice", Ayzal said in a low whisper I know she is afield I'll blow up.
"He is anything but nice", I told her. "But he seems genuine and even calls you warrior like Appa", Ayzal insisted it is annoying how can he just get everyone on his side easily. Sometimes including me. No... Never.
"Fatima he is not good and I don't like what he calls me. You don't even know him. " I decided to say things bothering me. "You know the girl there, Leena, she is not just his common friend they... are involved with each other in a haram way and it's not even committed. I saw him kissing and making out with her a lot of time not only her I can't even count the number of girls he hang out with."
"Astaghfirullah!", I expected Ayzal's reaction and after knowing all this I am sure she would not pester me more. "Yes, Astaghfirullah, 'that thing is not what he shows you he is." Ayzal shook her head.
"Yazia, you can't just judge him on things he did in the past. I can still see he is trying to change." oh my innocent sister who will tell the world is not that beautiful? "How can you say it's past huh?", I pointed out.
Ayzal sighed. "I can see, I am not blinded but prejudiced he really likes you and is really genuine." I am pissed at her words and resistance. I just calmly looked at her trying not to blow up. "You said that girl they had whatever relationship but he never looked at her his eyes were stuck on you."
"Stop it!! Ayzal", I said using her name so she can get I am serious. I really don't want to hear anything on this topic. "Let's not talk about this he is not even a Muslim why we should waste our time on him."
"Allah is the one who guides people you can't really keep denying that he can be a good human and even a good Muslim", Ayzal defended him. The thought really made me think what I can't risk to think. I.. I... will never admit silly things.
"We'll see when he will but for now let's wrap this topic", I don't want to keep talking about this topic. It just fuels the unwanted feelings. Ayzal nodded understanding and spoke.
"Promise me if he did become a Muslim you'll give him a chance without any prejudice." She insisted and a sigh left my mouth. "Why do you want me to give him a chance", I asked genuinely maybe I'd find a justification for myself and my strange soft thoughts.
"If he reverts to Islam he is like a new person you can't treat him badly for the things he did in the past. I am sure I saw it in his eyes he really loves you", Ayzal is just confusing me more with her words. I am still stuck in my own feelings about what should I feel about 'That thing'.
Ayzal looked at me for an answer I know she'll not let go till I answer her.
"Ok... ok I'll not give me a hug", I jumped at her hearing her resistive yells. "Go away!!", She blurts out making me chuckle and hug her more tightly. "Let's sleep", I said and she stopped struggling and sighed. "You won", she said closing her eyes.
"Can he really be a Muslim", This thought is making me restless.
"Yazia stop thinking this nonsense lets sleep."
