Farah

After for about 30 mins we finally arrived at his villa. To say I'm surprise will be an understatement by the view, the house is huge with a sea surrounding the house. I instantly fell in love with it's coolness and the beautiful view.

Entering the house my eyes widen. The house looked a lot bigger than our own . The walls are painted milk and a large LCD was occupying the wall, and  the cushion which are a shade of pink and ash which brightens the room more.

"Come let me show you your room" he said walking away with me tailing behind him. While walking upstairs all i do is roam my eyes around the hallway not even realizing we've reach my room with jawad looking at me with a smirk.

Did he just smirk?

"This is your room, and mine is next door" saying that he left leaving me with mouth agape.

What just happen?

I pushed the black metallic door open stepping inside, my feet came in contact with the cold white tiled floor. My eyes immediately landing on the medium-sized bed positioned at the center of the room, a 3 door wardrobe placed beside the window. Making my way towards the window my mouth gaped at a beautiful sight beside me.

Masha Allah 

After gazing at the window for some time, i felt my eyelid shaking. I slouched myself on the bed feeling it softness not knowing when i slept off.

Taking a warm shower, i wore one of my favorite cape top with a black straight skirt, tying my head in a bun i walked downstairs spotting jawad dressed in a shirt and jean, taking a moment to study him he kind of looked simple in them not the workaholic jawad.

How i wish he's as simple as his clothes.

I chuckled at my own thought

. As if he notices me he turned his eyes towards me, his face shows some kind of emotions i can't seems to understand. We stared at each other with a moment of silence around us. A look of confusion flickered across his face making me to turn my face, not knowing what to do i trekked to the fridge which is full with food, i decided to just take a bottle of cold water as my throat feel dry.

"Um.. Mom called" he said with his back facing me.

What should i say?

This is awkward 

"Okay". I mustered up the courage to say.

What now?

"Ex-cuse me" i said walking away. Taking out my phone i switched it on seeing the battery is almost down, i dialed My Mom's number the time in Sudan  Is different from here, i hope she's not sleeping.

I talked with my family for a while with Yasmin blabbering about the things i should buy for her.

"Okay Yasmin don't worry i will take pictures and buy the things you want" i assured her.

After hanging up the call, i went to the bathroom and perform my wudhu using the kiblah in my phone, i prayed Magrib namaz praying to Allah to protect me and my family from all evil.

Folding up the prayer mat i kept it inside the closet for i will need it later. My stomach made a groaning sound.

Let me check the fridge maybe i will find something to eat.

Opening the door i came face to face with jawad himself, his hand fold up about the knock on the door.

"Um.. The dinner is ready, if you want to eat" he said.

Seeing this side of jawad is a surprise to me.

We ate the food in silence. The food is really delicious how i wish i knew who cooked the food, i would've thank him for cooking such delicious food. I glanced at jawad who is eating in quite his head down.

Sometimes i wonder if that's how he is, so quite.

What i heard next suddenly made me drop the spoon in my hand. "Get ready tomorrow we're going out" with that being said he pushed back the chair and stormed upstairs.

Is this really jawad?

**

I've been thinking about what jawad told me last night, to be honest I'm surprised he wants the two of us to go out.

Farah stop over thinking maybe this is the chance for you to get closer.

A smile croaked up at the corner of my lips, i did the finishing touch of my makeup by applying a red matte lipstick.

I don't know why I'm doing this, but i thought i need to do this to at least get his attention. We can't continue behaving like strangers someone has to make a move even if that someone is me.

Taking my phone off the nightstand i watched my reflection one last time making sure everything is in place. Stepping inside the living room my eyes widen by the sight of jawad in front of me masha Allah i muttered to almost myself.

He access me from head to toe and turned his face quickly. 

"Shall we?"

We stepped out of the house, the cool breeze send chillies down my body, wrapping the muffler around my neck  i moved towards the sea dipping my leg inside making a shriek left my lips by the coldness of the water, a smile made it way out of my lips, i took a picture of my sea.

Jawad sat on the sand gazing at the sea, before i could understand what i was doing, my body moved forward sitting down beside him copying his action.

"Why did  you endure everything i did to you?" He suddenly said. 

"I did everything to push you away, but still why?" He asked again. 

"Because I'm a strong woman" i find myself saying. We turned our face right at the moment staring at each other, watching his expression something ignite in me.

"And i know you're not a bad person, you have your reason" i whispered staring at his light brown eyes which are full with unreadable expression.  "How i wish we're just a normal couples who are madly in love with each other." I chuckled at my own impossible wish

"That would've been so much better" he whispered back flashing me a smile.
