Married to Mysterious

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I feel lively. When last was I this excited? I tiptoed to the kitchen to eavesdrop their conversation. I peek, Feenah is stirring something. probably frying the rice. Asma is chopping the vegetables while Nana is simply sitting on a stool.

"He came yesterday too." Said Feenah as she turned to look at Nana.

"I know. "Nana replied typing on her phone, showing no interest in whatever they are talking about. Who came? Now am curious.

"Who came?" I blurted out.

"No one"

"Nassim"

Nana and Feenah said at the same time turning to look at me.

"He has been coming a lot this days." Feenah added.

"Oh... You should ask Nana the reason behind it." I revealed smirking at Nana who was now glaring at me.

Feenah dropped the spoon she was holding her mouth forming an o.

Asma burst out laughing. I guess she found it funny.

"Adda jidda!" (sister) Nana shouted running towards me.

I ran outside. I didn't have to turn to know she was following me. I ran to the nearest door which is the laundry and locked the door behind just as she was about to reach it. I held the knob panting, happy with my little escape.

She began banging the door.

"Adda! Adda! Just open the door!"

"I'm not opening I replied back!"

"Just admit you are scared of your little sister." she called back trying to provoke me.

"Whatever! I won't let you trick me out. "I heard her stamp her foot and left. I turned my back against the door smiling. But my smile turned to a shock expression. There in all his glory is the little devil himself. Adeel is standing holding a shirt. With a small smile on his face clearly amused. The smile suddenly turned into a smirk. I frowned and he raised his eyebrows.

"You locked us in the laundry." He stared moving towards me without breaking eye contact.

I stayed rooted to my spot. Unable to move. He stopped when he was an inch closer.

"Why did you locked us?" He asked a small smile tugging at his lips.

Really? What is he up to now? He clearly knew I didn't know he was here when I entered. Even though am feeling nervous I won't let him intimidate me.

"You rock head! I didn't know your here." Taking him off guard I place both my hands on his chest and pushed him. I quickly opened the door and ran outside. Stepping into the corridor I met with Abba who is probably coming from the backyard.

"Aunty jidda. He called. Is the food not ready? I'm really hungry."

"It's almost done. Even though I'm not sure I just said it. Let me check on it?"

"You are not the one cooking?" he asked Clearly not pleased.

"I think it's Asma that is cooking."

"I'm not going to eat it." He said shaking his head from side to side.

I smiled." Actually Feenah is cooking Nana and Asma are just helping?"

"Nana is your sister right?" He asked changing the topic.

"Yeah," I replied. Curious as to why he is just asking that.

"I knew it!" He smiled. "I will be waiting for the food." And with that, he sped up.

I was on my way to the kitchen when a body bumped into me knocking me on the floor. It was Feenah, "I'm sorry she said getting up." Maryam and Walida were laughing. Nana followed frowning pouting her lips.

"Give me my phone." she demanded.

"Nope." Feenah replied hiding her hand behind her.

"It's better for you to wait until we are done." Maryam smiled evilly at Nana.

"Why don't you give her the phone you guys are invading her privacy." Asma stated crossing her arms around her chest. Teaming with Nana.

"I thought you are on our side." Maryam and Walida. Shouted at the same time.

I miss this alot. So I just watched them. Smiling. They will surely run away with the phone Now.. I know them very well. These crazy people. I don't need to ask to know this situation is related to Nassim. Probably checking her inbox or w******p.

Asma and Nana started a fight with Feenah before she could run trying to snatch the phone from her. Walida and Maryam break in to help Feenah.

"Hey! You are going to wake Nawal!" I scolded them.

"Lemme keep the phone for you." Abba cut in stopping there fight. We all started at him surprised with his Unexpected behavior.

"I'm going to keep it for you. They won't try to get it from me." He convinced Feenah. She reluctantly gave him the phone. He handed it to Nana.

"Take your phone. And you guys should stop bullying her." He smiled and walk away. Living us dazed. Asma rushes to him tugging his shirt. Is he attractive to her? Because it seems like it.

After having lunch, we are now sitting down in the living room talking about random things and laughing. Nana kept talking about my embarrassing moments. I tried to shut her but she pretended like she didn't know what I was trying to do. It's her way of payback. I shouldn't have talked about Nassim.

"Nanaaaaaa!" I called her name. Giving her the shut up your mouth look.

"Adda jidda, she smiled completely ignoring me. You remember? You were a tomboy back then?"

"A tomboy?" Asma asked.

"When was I a tomboy Nana? You should stop this."

"Tsk Tsk Tsk..."

We turned our heads to find Adeel standing behind us. Since when was he here?

"Nana." He called smirking at me.

"As much as I I'm enjoying this stories, you are bullying my wife." He shifted closer to whisper in my ear "only I can bully you"

"I'm sorry Yaya Adeel" (brother)she called suppressing a laugh.

Seems like he is making fun of me. That stone head.

I blinked my eyes to stop the tears. They are all gone. I felt like clinging to them and follow them back home. I didn't realize I will feel this way after they left. Adeel is standing at the door to his room smiling.

"Why didn't you follow them baby girl? "He asked with an innocent look on his face. And I ignore them.

"Don't cry here. I have had enough of your tears baby! "

"Hey! Stop messing with me. Did you take the wrong medicine??"

"Nope" he answered popping the p and crossing his arms over his chest leaning his back against his door.

"Want to go out for ice cream he asked?"

I almost jumped from my seat.

"See.. " He laughed. "Nana is right? Go get ready." I didn't need to be told twice I stood up the same time someone decided to start knocking. What a day!

"Go check" he nodded his head at me. I opened the door to find a pregnant woman and a man that seems to be her husband standing
