I took the tray and head downstairs. There he was, standing in embarrassed way, yet a hope in his eyes. I narrowed my eyes at him and quickly got down. When I reached to the sofa, I gave my best fake smile and then I did what nobody ever imagined. Hell, even I didn't knew I could do this. I threw the Bakhlava pieces on him- including the tray. I smiled again when I saw the shock and sadness on his face. When he opened his eyes again, I showed his letter and tore it into tiny peices and threw on him.

"You think you can just insult me like that and expect me to forgive you? By you bribing me with my favourite sweet? Guess what- I am not going to. I'm sick and tired of this games. I quit. I quit this job and just get the hell out of my house Mr. Aadil Sheikh. I never want to see your face again. Goodbye. "

I saw his expressions from turning sad to emotionless. He gave a quick nod without making an eye contact and was about to leave when Aziza came out of nowhere. She was confused on what happened then saw the mess I created. Shock was clearly on her face.

"Bro! Bro wait..just wait." She said to him and came towards me.

"What is wrong with you? How could you do this? He was genuinely sorry and guilty about what he did. He didn't freaking knew what to do! Finally accepting my idea he did and what you gave him in return? Humiliation? I'm very dissapointed with you sis."

"Aadil bro, I am really sorry for what she did. We will talk about this later okay? No wait. I will come with you. After what she did, I don't want to see her face. Lets go." And with that she took his hand and made their way out of the house. I stood in my place, frozen. How...? When? My mind isn't working at all. I did this just so that nobody can hurt me. And this turned into this mess? When realisation dawned on me, I shook my head and thought Azi might come home later. I mean she can't leave me right? Oh my..... What.. What if she really left? Does she really think him more of her family than her own blood? How could she? How coul-

"Nawal sis! Babe! Where are you? Are you even listening to me?"

Aziza's voice scared me to death. Huh? I looked at my surroundings. I still am standing in my room, with the letter in my hand. And she is shaking me up. The tray of sweets is still in the room. Wait, was that my imagination? Crap. What was I thinking? Did I just thought about the latter? Of what I could do instead of forgiving him? Damn girl, what is happening to me? Worst daydream or should I say eveningdream I had.

"Nawaaaaaaal! Oh my god! Aadil bro! Call the ambulance! Nawal isn't well!" Aziza shouted and then I realized I haven't replied to her.

"Azi-" I was cut by Aadil rushing to my room looking worried and a bit pale. Gosh. I can't even tell the feeling right now. And I was thinking to not forgive this guy. Ugh. Why does he do these things which makes my heart beat crazily?

"Guys." I started to talk slowly. "I am fine. Really. I was just...um..thinking about the other...." I cleared my throat realizing if I had said that, definitely I will be sitting in mental asylum.

"I can't believe this. I mean, surprising me with these," I motioned my hand towards the Bakhlava. "And this," Showed the letter in my hand. "Won't wanna say I'm the evil one here. This is the best way of apologising. I wasn't even angry. Just bit upset." Aziza snorted at me saying 'bit upset'.

"Okay! Everything is fine now. I can finally sleep in peace!" And then she ran to her room. We both chuckled at her childish behaviour. I turned to Aadil and look what I saw! The Aadil Sheikh also known by many names in my dictionary is actually blushing! Not really though. Just slight pink colour on his cheeks. And then I did what I always used to do when Aziza or my brother blushes or rather their cheeks become scarlet red. I pull them with tease.

"Aww! Look at you blushing. Won't suit you Mr. Sheikh." I pulled his cheeks and poked his nose. After my little stunt, we both stood frozen. To be honest, his cheeks were more red than before. Slowly but surely, my cheeks too might have turned bright pink with heat crawling up my face. We stood there looking at each other. They were many things going on in my mind. He surely was a difficult man to deal with. But when he realises his mistake, he does know how to make it up. He does have mood swings, more than mine I should say. Wish I could know him better, to understand. But I can't and probably won't. It's just my random crush on him. Yeah. That's it. Just one of my random crush. I couldn't help but smile at him. To him I am just an employer and elder sister of Aziza. Gotta check on them emotions Nawal. It won't turn good in the end.

He returned my smile but it quickly faded. He cleared his throat and I think was about to get more embarressed if he says a word. So we made our way out in the hall, taking my Bakhlava ofcourse.

》•○●°•○●°•○●°《

It's 9:30 pm now. Aadil left after we talked and ate lots of Bakhlava - and by ate I mean mostly me. Aziza simply stated eating these will make her fat. That made me mad for a while though. Nobody and I mean NOBODY insults my favourite food. And Aadil said, 'It's meant for you to forgive me. That doesn't fit right for me to eat.' And simply saw us eating and having quite nice time. Now I'm in my room, not feeling sleepy at all. After lots of thinking, I decided to write some lines in my journal. Well, I'm gonna add Aadil's lines too cause why not?

💫💫💫💫💫💫

* If people aren't happy with your happiness, cut ties with them. *

¤ If you are sad and don't have any reason to be happy, make others happy. You'll be satisfied enough. ¤

☆ That special feeling when someone you like does something for you, is the best goddamn feeling. ☆

♢ I know life can be pretty tuff and many times you just wanna give up. But remember, whenever you feel that way, it means that you are really close to your achievement. Don't let others overshadow you. ♢

After two hours, I'm finally done with my lines. These did took my time and every single was worth it but now it's time to get my beauty sleep.

"IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP THIS INSTANT, I'LL THROW COLD WATER ON YOU! AND EVEN JUSTIN BIEBER WON'TBE COMING TO JUMP FOR YOU!" Aziza's loud voice instantly woke me up. I guess I got too excited (pure sarcasm) as now I'm laying on my floor with blankets tangled up in my legs. Groaning, I slowly untangled the blankets and got to open the door. And when I did, Aziza was about to bang on the door when her fist came face to face - literally, infront of my face. Thanks to my quick reflex I stepped aside and she stumbled in my room. Later I gotta make sure to not make this person angry before she goes all Mulan on me.

"Since when you started listening to Bieber? Never expected this from you sis." I showed her my most apologetic face and there she was glaring me - probably would erupt like a volcano.

"Excuse me? Why are you behaving as if I'm doing the worst thing ever?" Aziza asked, still wearing that angry mask. 'Lets just continue my play.' I talked in my mind and started on my plan to torture her.

"You guessed it right sister. You ARE doing the worst thing ever. Listening to Bieber? Seriously? Back in the day we used to hate that guy's music! People do really change over the time." I dramatically changed my voice to much sad one. I couldn't make eye contact with her because if I did, I'm pretty sure I'll be on the floor again, this time laughing hard. She sighed, maybe thinking carefully what to answer.

"It's not like I became a Belieber sis. I just like few of his songs, that's it. You should listen too. Maybe you too might like his songs? No, don't even go there. I, till to this date hate his song 'Baby'." This time, I couldn't control myself and burst into fits of laughter on the floor. Aziza looks at me as if something crazy happened. I try to control my laugh but it seems it's not going to stop anytime soon. She kept looking as if she really could be doing other work than standing here and look at me laughing like I'm some psycho. Well that look did made me stop.

"Well, it indeed was funny cause I was just playing with you. Ofcourse you can listen to whatever song you want. Well, I'm looking forward to the songs I'll be listening soon. I'm glad to know we share the same hatred for the same song dear." This time Aziza burst into laughter.

As I parked my car and head towards the office, I thought for a second. Today my day started with me being happy. That's a good sign though. But there's this weird feeling as if trying to say something bad is going to happen. Good thoughts Nawal, good thoughts.

When I entered the building, the place seemed too quiet. Like something happened and nobody wants to talk about it. What is happening?

I made my way towards my cabin when I heard words that made me stood in my place, knocking air out of my lungs.

"I'll be looking forward to this deal, Mr. Isa."
