《Mr. Perfect & Miss Troublemaker》Chapter 18

Ashiya's PoV:
There are moments in life when you don't know what to do or say. Moments so fragile that you fear they'll break if you make one wrong move. I was experiencing one such moment as I didn't know what to do. The man in front of me had just revealed probably his biggest baggage and he looked so vulnerable, unlike his usual composed self. I didn't know whether I should say something or just stay silent and listen to everything he had got to say. He had been carrying such a load inside him since so many years...
I walked over to the window and stood beside him. He turned his gaze at me and I swear I could see so many emotions in his eyes but most of all, I could see pain, I could see regret. I imagined an 11year old Ahan, crying alone and blaming himself for the turn of events. My heart shattered at that image. I felt the sudden urge to embrace him and console him till he falls asleep but I didn't have the right to do so. He was a non mehram, after all. I realised we were staring at each other so I slowly lowered my gaze making him break out of the trance too.
"I'm sorry I should be going," he said like a kid apologizing for saying something wrong.
"Please don't apologise," I said and he glanced up, his eyes a little watery, "it's better to let go of your baggage than to carry it alone. Besides, it's all Allah's plan. He never burdens a soul more than its capability to handle. So whatever happened, it happened for a reason. All the hardships that you have gone through have only made you stronger. You have a mother and two brothers to take care of and you are doing your duty very well. I'm sure Uncle must have been proud of you if he were here..." I didn't say these words to console him or anything. I spoke what I felt about the whole scenario.

"You really think so?" He asked innocently and I nodded with a smile.
"Thanks, I...I don't..I mean...Thanks," he finally managed to say, "and sorry for what I said today, I swear I didn't mean any of it."
"It's okay, I forgive you..." I said and he smiled. We kept looking at each other before he said goodnight and left my room. I was still smiling after he left when I realised what I was doing. Get a grip Ashu! What are you doing? I scolded myself and immediately went to bed, with sleep far away from my eyes.

Next day, as I made my way to the hall, I saw Khala walking up to me with a worried expression, "Are you okay, Ashu?" She asked and I smiled.
"I'm fine Khala, don't worry. Lemme help you with breakfast," I said walking to the kitchen but she stopped me.
"Ashu, I'm really sorry for what happened yest--"
"Khala," I said interrupting her apology, "it's fine. I'm okay now and it wasn't your fault anyways," I assured her and she finally nodded.
We were in the kitchen when I felt someone's eyes on me. On looking up, I realised it was Ahan. He was all dressed up in his dark blue three piece suit with a white shirt beneath. His hair looked well combed and there was an intimidating aura reflecting from him. I dare say he looked good. What the hell! Stop drooling over him.
I'm not drooling over him, I just praised his looks.
Yeah, are you forgetting that he's the same guy whom you used to address as Mr. Khadoos just a few days ago?
Oh shut up, don't make a big deal out of it.
Yeah yeah whatever.

I came back to my senses as I heard Khala's voice. She was telling me to carry the parathas to the table. Shit! I was openly staring at him. Astagfirullah! I lowered my gaze quickly and carried the parathas to the table, all the while feeling his gaze on me. Somebody please tell him to look away.
"Goodmorning fellas!" Arhaan's voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see him approaching us in his work attire. He pulled a chair beside Ahan and sat down.
"Where's Ayan?" I asked.
"He's gone for some project work to his friend's house," Khala replied while she too joined us at the table. Ahan's eyes were no more on me but I could still feel him stealing few glances in my direction.
I wondered what has gotten into him. Only yesterday, he didn't find me worthy of a single look and now... what's the matter?

Dungeon Man Sam
Dungeon Man Sam is a character-focused slow burn dungeon-building litRPG with elements of crafting Real Time Strategy. It updates 6 days a week, with a break on Saturdays. Dungeon Man Sam Vol. 1, Dungeon Man Sam and the Orphaned Core is now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! Official Dungeon man Sam Discord! Drop by and say hello! We're still tiny, but if you wave to me I'm always happy to wave back and chat! --------------- In a world where dungeons function as the backbone of national economies, dungeon construction is big business. Wealthy nations spend millions to have the best dungeon builders construct labyrinthine edifices full of the most dangerous traps and planted with the strongest dungeon cores in the hope of luring powerful adventurers in to retrieve the treasures generated deep within. Samuel Tolliver works for his father, who runs the finest construction crew on the continent. It is a good life, one that keeps him close to family and that earns him enough money to pursue his inventions when he has a free moment. He even has something of a talent for fixing things and keeping the various bits of equipment running. It should have been the best job in the world. There's just one problem. Sam hates dungeons and wants to destroy them all some day. And he's got the plan to do it, too. But life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. When a series of disastrous events that he himself set in motion culminates in Sam winding up dead, he thought that was the end of it. Until a voice came to him and offered him a deal, one he simply couldn't refuse. Now Dungeon Man Sam has returned to life as the guardian for a strange new dungeon core, one that will turn everything he knows about the world upside down and force him to set aside his hatred of dungeons. For the sake of himself, his friends, and his family, Sam must construct a dungeon like the world has never seen before and defend it against all comers, be they monstrous or adventurous. If he succeeds, he'll get to see his family again. If he fails, everyone he knows will fall into the grave. And somewhere beyond the range of his knowledge, something ancient and terrible stirs and takes notice. Dungeon Man Sam: When all you have is a hammer, you build. --------------- This Is A Work In Progress: This isn't the final form of Dungeon Man Sam, there's gonna be some typos, and things may change between chapters as I realize "crap, I didn't set that up nearly as well as I thought I did". I'll let you know if anything like that happens, and if you notice anything that you think is worth pointing out, feel free to let me know! Hope you enjoy the story!
