Yusrah snuggled more as a smile graced her lips,her eyes involuntary flew open and a gasp was the first thing that left her mouth.
The scene in front of her was as such that it left her shocked,she let her mouth hang open and her eyes scrutinize the situation.
She and Yusuf were on the same bed,yes yesterday they decided to sleep in the same room,give Iman and Yazeed one room then Mama the other since the house have only 3 bedrooms.
But then,she doesn't understand why she is in Yusuf's arms,she doesn't understand how they cuddled up,she gulped down the lump in her throat as she closed her eyes to calm down her erratic beating heart,she felt like thrusting her hands into her chest and shushing down her heart,
She tried to move but Yusuf held her more tightly,that is when she realized that she is entangled,her gaze wandered to her hand that was resting on Yusuf's shoulder,then they wandered to his hand which on her holding her closely,she realized that her head is resting on his chest and she could listen to his heartbeat.
For a moment,she forgot about all her tension and inched more closer to listen to his heart beat,turns out it is not only her heart that have got no chill,Yusuf's too.
She giggle a little at her mischief as she continued to intently listen,for a reason it gave her peace and she closed her eyes relishing the sound.
She finally let out a sigh and put her head on his other hand which made her come face to face with him,his eyes were closed making his eyelashes rest delicately on his chin.She stared at his handsome face as a smile made its way to her lips,she contemplated on touching his face or not but her hand reached his face nevertheless.She touched his cheeks with her fingers then started drawing eyebrow,imagining her finger as the pencil on his eyebrow.His eyebrow will be perfect for makeup.
She smiled still staring at him,she never got the chance to stare at him this closely,she won't let this one in a million opportunity slip away from her.
She inched more closer as if she is going to enter his body,she liked the closeness.
She continued staring at him wanting to memorize all his features in her mind.
"You always complain that I stare too much,you are doing it also now."
Yusrah giggled at her craziness,so she is hearing his honey like voice too ringing in her ears.
What on earth is Yusuf doing to her?
She smiled widely as she stared at his eyelashes again,she saw his eyes blinking and she furrow her eyebrows when he opened his eyes.Her eyes went wide as she fling herself to the other side of the bed.
"You are done staring already? I was enjoying the undivided attention." He stated in a teasing tone and Yusrah felt her cheeks growing hot in embarrassment,she put her face in her palms trying to hide her little embarrassing smile from him.

She turned to the edge of the bed and kept her legs down while turning her back at him,she couldn't stare at him.
He caught her staring.
She shivered when he sneaked his hands to her waist and kept his face near her ears "Good morning,habibty."
Before she could react he have already closed the bathrooms door,she let her smile spread on her face as she stared at the bathroom's door.
"Good morning,habiby." She stated laughing at the way the name sounded coming out from her mouth,as she walked out of the room with her heart wildly beating for one person.
Yusuf.
~
Yusrah gulped down the remaining yam into her throat as she sipped the remaining pap,she ran to the parlor and smiled at Mama and Iman "Bye,see you in the evening." She stated smiling as she walk out.
She is visiting her parents today for the first time after her marriage,Mama and Iman are going to visit their relatives.Her father is going to pick Yazeed up from school and drop him to their house before she reach.
She reached the car and opened the door then sat down inside,Yusuf smiled as he stare at her "Looking beautiful as always." He stated throwing her a flying kiss which she secretly caught smiling as she muttered "Thanks."
They conversed about random things till they reached,Yusuf held her hand just as she was about to step out and she wriggle it out "Don't stare at me today." She warned and he just smiled like a love struck idiot "Only after you stop being beautiful and adorable." He stated pinching her cheeks and she eyed him smiling as she step out.
They entered and classes started.
Bilal sat next to Yusrah and he kept trying to divert her attention,she kept giving him short answers.
Bilal smiled at her as he brace himself "Yusrah," He called and she turned raising her eyebrow in question "Will you go on a date with me?" He stated smiling cutely and Yusrah's eyes went wide.
Yusuf felt like he was slapped hard on his face,his whole attention was on them the whole time,he wonder how he heard what he said but what matters is what he heard was right,judging from his wife's reaction.
"Bilal I—I—I am," He stopped her from talking "I know what I did earlier was wrong,give me a chance to rectify for my mistake please.I really like you." The whole class cheered up and they started saying;
"SAY YES!"
Yusrah just stared at Yusuf who lounged forward,she stood up from her chair and looked into his eyes telling him to calm down.Yusuf held her hand and the whole class gasped "She can't go on a date with you." He stated trying hard to fake a smile.
"WHY?!" Bilal exclaimed "Why are you holding her hand?" He asked confused and the whole class interest was piqued on that.
"." Yusuf stated and Yusrah closed her eyes sighing a little.

The drama she didn't want,is taking place.
Bilal laughed as he stared at him "Everyone here knows that you like her! You don't have to lie about being married to her to shoo me away, I won't let go of her.Yusrah is like a needle inside water,the lucky person will get it." Bilal stated and Yusrah eyed him hating his ego.
"Look, I am favoring her too,if not why will I marry a lady who have an illegitimate son." Bilal stated laughing and Yusuf didn't know when he punched him "Yazeed is my son! Don't ever call him illegitimate again!" He stated and Bilal laughed "That is why he looked like you.So,you are the one who took advantage of an innocent girl and———," He got a slap from Yusrah whose face was already stained with tears.
"He didn't take advantage of me." She stated and Bilal let out a laugh "That makes you a prostitute which you said you aren't!" He shouted and she shook her head.
Yusuf caught his colar frowning "Don't ever call my wife a prostitute." He warned with so much authority "You married her because of that son,I am sure of it." He stated and Yusuf shook his head.
"I married her because I love her! I love my wife.I love Yusrah."
Yusrah inched back trying to make sure this us real.Yusuf love her! He said it,a little smile caress her lips as she smiled at him who held her hand delicately,he looked into her eyes.Hazel over amber and said it again "I love you."
Yusrah let her tears fall as she stared at him,the drama didn't matter anymore,all that matters is the confession.She smiled with tears in her eyes which he wipe "Cry baby." He stated laughing as he kissed her eyes which she closed.
"It is true,we are married." She stated smiling at Yusuf.Zarah clapped her hands happily "Everyone knows now!" She stated smiling.
Yusuf dragged Yusrah's hand firmly as they stepped out of the class.She turned around one more time looking at the curious faces with thousand of question that she have to answer tomorrow.It doesn't even matter much.
What matters is; Yusuf love her!
She cannot even believe it.

Zarah laughed at her sister's expression "It was bound to happen," She stated as she got a hold of Yusrah's hand "Stop worrying." She stated and Yusrah nodded her head.
"I actually wanted to tell you something." Zarah stated "Kabir's family are willing to accept me,they have understood their mistake and they came here yesterday to ask for forgiveness." Zahra stated with happiness visible on her face and Yusrah just squealed happily and hugged her "I am so happy for you!" She stated and Zarah smiled while wiping a little bit of tears.
Yusrah shook her head as she wipe her tears "Being a cry baby runs in this family." She stated remembering how Yusuf always call her a cry baby when she cry.
Oh Yusuf,you are not around but I am here thinking about you.
Yusrah just smile as she knock her head smiling then turned to Zarah who was staring at her "You just skipped from this world and entered another then skipped back to this world.What is up?" Zarah asked teasingly and Yusrah eye her.
"When is Kabir taking you back then?" She asked diverting the topic "Next week,The house needs to be cleaned and I also need sometime to pack." She stated smiling and Yusrah smiled also hugging her lightly.
"Life is favoring us these days,Zahra."
She stated smiling and Zahra nodded her head also smiling happily.
"Done with the sisters moment?" They heard mama's voice and they turned to her,she was standing with Farida by her side "Not when you are not around." They stated as they stood up snd rushed to hug both of them with their giggles filling the room.

"I missed you." Yusuf mumbled as he hug her lightly outside their house,Yusrah just smiled after making sure no one saw the little hug moment "Me too." She whispered and Yusuf pouted "Is that how to reply?" He questioned as he hug Yazeed who ran to him hugging him.
He made him sit in the backseat then entered the car,Yusrah just smiled as she watch them talk.
Sometimes she feels left out when the two meet,they get lost in each other forgetting her whole existence,but it is fine.She enjoys seeing the two bonding.
After some minutes,he turned his attention to her "I missed you." He said again and she shook her head laughing,Yusuf never let things slide easily.
"I missed you too." She mumbled smiling shyly and Yusuf's eyes dilated "Say it again." She shook her head stubbornly turning her head to the other side smiling happily.
Yusrah stared at the sunset with a huge smile on her face "It is beautiful." She whispered and Yusuf nod his head in agreement.
Yusrah stared at sunset which is mysteriously beautiful and she remembered that every sunset have a different story to tell,today's sunset says a great story in her life.A happy and contented story full of smiles,true & pure love and a dream come true.
"Very beautiful." He agreed and she nod her head.
Yusrah smiled as she watch the sun beautifully setting down,unknown to her Yusuf was referring to her not the sun.
He cannot see anything apart from her,she is his beautiful sunset.

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

Liana in between Worlds
17 year old Liana is not as surprised as most people would be when she meets Inaya, coming from another world searching for a mysterious danger that could be disastrous for both worlds. She's always seen things others could not see, and she often finds it easier to befriend strange creatures from dreamworlds than her classmates. But now she's involved in a possible plot to eradicate our whole species, which makes her travel through a dead alien city and the oak wood of the Nummerfa who believe that our species are dangerous demons from hell, and other places in several different worlds. All she actually wanted was read her Tolkien book, or sit and watch the stars without being bothered by the existential problems of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And how is she going to even explain her absence at school? 'Liana in Between Words' is a weird genre-defying mix of portal fantasy and scifi in a tale of friendship, loneliness, and the role of humans in the multiverse. This one contains absolutely no romance and no serious trigger warnings for sex, excessive violence, bad words or heavily traumatising content if you can handle the idea that there are people somewhere who think -maybe not completely without reason- that our species are destructive demons that should be eradicated.
