Nightingale Love

worried...

Lu was having food silently when out of nowhere Selim asked" where were you till late last night?"

"I was with my family" Lu replied expressionlessly even without looking at him.

Selim had never known Serra has a family too cause he was too frustrated since he had to marry her without his consent. He was again about to say something but stopped himself.

Even though they had been married for more than a year they never spent time alone. Selim thought Serra was only an undesirable person in his life. He only used to interact with her when his grandmother was around so that he won't upset his grandma. Now, his grandmother was no longer with them so he hadn't need to pretend anymore.

After lunch when they're cleaning the dishes, Selim received a phone call. He said, "I'll come tomorrow. Right now I'm busy, mom".

Then he disconnect his phone call. As he was about to say something but Serra spoke up first.  She said," It seems you are busy let me do the rest of the cleaning". "No, I'm not" Selim replied.

 Serra stood still for seconds after hearing this. She started to assume 'Did he lied to his mother to stay with her. She realized he had been behaving strangely in the past few days, he wasn't discomforted anymore with her presence and he hadn't even handed her a divorce paper in the past 4 months cause she was sure every time he had a bad mood or bad day he used to hand her with divorce agreement and tell her to divorce him but never forced her like a gentleman.

 While she was lost in her own thought Selim had called her few times to conscious her. Then only she realized she was too lost in her own thought. "are you all right", Selim put his hand on Serra's forehead to check if she has a fever.

'Oh God are you really joking with me just now did Selim touched me'. Though it was not intimate touch that the couple share. Rather than joking with me why don't you call me up directly God? Serra dodge a little bit and said, "no I'm okay". Selim just took back his hand with a slight frown.

Then said, "you finished all this I'll be in the living hall". And left.

Moments later Serra was done with the cleaning in the kitchen and went towards the hall. Even though she didn't want to go there her heart kept on telling her to go there at once without reason. When she reached there she saw Selim had fallen asleep on the sofa.

'He seems tired should I give a massage' she thought. She starts to press his head lightly with her rosy slender finger though she had got her hand bit rough due to her job.
