MANSOOR POV:
I woke up listening to my daily alarm. Damn another morning here, got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, and change into my exercise clothes.
I'm used to going out for a walk daily and for that, I go with my uncle who is also being my Guardian for the past years since the day I lost my parents in the plane crash.
'' Good morning.'' I heard uncle when I walk downstairs.
'' Good morning,'' I replied and we both left for the work.
'' So how's studying going?'' he asked me like all this as he knows I'm not the one who talks too much.
'' It is going well,'' I replied and after that, we both stayed quiet for a long time, and then we both went back home.
I had a semester exam today. So I just practice some more and time went by so fast. I got ready for University and went downstairs to have my breakfast.
I just went downstairs and I just went downstairs and heard my baby girl speaking in a worried tone. I asked her she told me that her caretaker wasn’t there.
Seems like it was the perfect time for me to perform my duty. Everyone knows I treat her special. Why even I don’t the answer for it. It’s just from the day she was born she made me feel my heartbeat rise.
But after the day when her small hands Held mine the day I lost my parents and tried to coax while breaking up into tears by herself. That was the moment I knew she was an angel descended from heaven. After getting back to myself and after all these years I feel myself getting closer to even more. I know my feeling for her are no longer friendly while she is only a kid.
And damn this age gap of mine makes me feel even guiltier for not stopping myself from developing such feelings. But love is unconditional you can’t control your feelings for someone, can you.
Thinking all this I looked in the mirror and saw her beautiful smile plastered on her face like always. Her mother called her down for breakfast and just like always fast in doing the work she ran downstairs and forgot her helper back there and my smile fades away seeing her go just like that.
I got up to go downstairs as well when my smile came back to me, I mean my babygirl came back.
‘’Aren’t you coming,’’ Fariha said looking at me.
I forward her nodding my head and just like that breakfast was over. She left for her school happily as her father was going to drop her which was one of her most favorite things.
‘’Good luck on the test, buddy. Bye!’’ Fariha spoke to me waving her hand at me and that cheerful smile never leaving her cute face which made her even more attractive to the world.
‘’Thank you,’’ I replied well she was fast enough to run out without hearing my reply.
I was busy texting my assistant on my phone and also ready to leave for my university. He has been second in command after my parent’s death as I can't handle business with 'studies on the other hand. But it's only a year left for me to take over completely.
‘’Are you going to leave for your university?’’ Fariha's mother asked me. She always loved me like her own son as I was the only living memory of her deceased sister.
‘’Yes I am going to, do you need something?’’ I asked knowing she just wanted something. Because everyone knows I'm not someone who likes to listen to extra talks.
‘’Well your uncle won’t be able to get Fariha back from her school so will you pick her. You know she hates to be with driver.’’ She said requesting to me but she didn't have to say it like that as I was always do anything when it comes to my baby girl.
‘’’ No, it’s okay. I get off a half-hour before her so it’s perfect.’’ I replied in a soft tone. I was internally happy to take my precious kitten back from her school. Knowing we will have a real good time together.
‘’Thank you, dear. You are such a good kid.’’ She said smiling leaving for her work she needed to get done.
I was looking forward from where she disappears along with the sweet emotions on my face and I got back to my blank one. It’s harder for me to show a single happy expression when my kitten is not with me.
I left in my car for my University and another day just went by like usual.
'' Hey dude, we were planning to dine out today as exams are over. Want to join us?'' one of my class fellow Ali you asked me.
'' No, I have plans.'' fingers I left but not before hearing
'' He is always like that rude and boring.'' not caring about the comments I left.
I have to wait impatiently outside the school when I saw my kitten coming outside smiling I smiled back at her she did not saw me. It didn't take much time for my smile to fade away when I saw a boy of her age coming out with her talking and smiling.
How much I want to smack that boy ass real bad. I got out of the car and this time my baby girl saw me and came towards me running.
'' Maraca, how was your test today?'' she asked me the first thing while reaching me.
''Marhaba ([hi, hello] regional greeting word), you tell how would it be?'' I asked her in response opening the car door for her and she sat inside.
''Marhaba ([hi, hello] regional greeting word),'' said the other boy who was with her before.
'' No need to greet me and make this shit clear inside your head clear that I don't want to see you with her another time,'' I said grabbing the shoulder of that boy with little strength which was too much for him to bear.
He ran away scared and I saw my kitten looking at him with surprised expressions.
'' What happened to him?'' she asked when I sat in the car.
'' Forget about him and tell me you didn't answer me yet,'' I said bringing her attention back to me and only me.
'' It must be good as you never fail,'' he said smiling back at me.
'' Well now as you guessed right, you deserve a treat. Name your prize.'' I said starting the car.
'' Really, I want to eat a pizza and ice cream too.'' she chirped in happiness.
'' Your wish is my command,'' saying I started driving to the near restaurant and her favorite one as well.
UPCOMING:
'' How can you do this? Don’t talk to me.'' I said crying my heart out.
FARIHA POV:I had fun at school like usual. Just like every day the day at school came to an end. And not like all other students I was happy to leave, as there is a big reason for it.I hate to be picked by the driver while few students also get picked by their drivers. But I don’t like it. I want to be with my family the moment I come back. But daddy is usually busy so I can’t force him as well.Thinking all this I met with my class fellow who was a new transfer today and he was asking about home tasks we would have to perform today.I was speaking to him when I see Mansoor. Yes, I call him by his name directly. Why because everyone says he spoiled me but he says that friends call each other with names.But sometimes when I get angry or disturb with him I call him Mansoor Akhi (My Brother; Manly; Generous.) and he knows that instantly that I am unhappy with something.I gave him my greetings and asked about how is test went? I knew it must be important but still, he helped me in the
AUTHORS POV:‘’How are things going at the construction site?’’ Kamal Erges father of Fariha spoke to Mansoor, both sitting in his study and discussing business.‘’It’s going well, but I think it’s time when we can’t just overlook it. Everything needs my presence. After all, it was a long dream of my parents which I need to fulfill now.’’ Mansoor replied in his usual cold tone.‘’But how will you manage everything on your own?’’ Kamal asked knowing it must be hard for a young boy of his age to handle such big matters together. But he was forgetting that the young boy got used to everything long ago.‘’It’s not the first time I will be going to manage little work. And I am not a kid. You don’t have to worry about all this anymore.’’ Mansoor spoke taking a small sip of his black coffee bitter as much as his soul.‘’You are right, so how do you plan to take care of it?’’ Kamal asked knowing he won’t get a direct answer from him but still he wanted to ask.‘’I will go to Italy first, then
MANSOOR POV:I never imagined things will become so hard. I can never see my baby girl sad. Then how can I see her in such a bad condition like that? But it’s all for her.I want to get everything in my hands so that I can promise a better tomorrow for her. There are many personals disputes I need to resolve before I become selfish and start my life only with her completely. I know a very difficult time is coming towards me.But she will help me get through all that hard time just like how she did when my parents passed away in a plane crash. Her small hands held mine telling me that there was nothing for me to scare about. But she broke into a stream of tears.But that wasn’t the time I fell in love with her. It was the day I saw her open eyes in this world. Her first cry rose my heartbeat insanely. When I wasn’t even aware of love and possession. But she did. She made me get all those feelings to get birth inside me until I decided to make her mine forever.I never let her play or m
FARIHA POV:How could he do that to me? He promised to always stay by m side. Then why does he want to leave? Is our country not enough for his studies? I will never talk to him if he leaves me all alone here. I really can’t believe it when he agreed to all of this and never thought of me once.My crying was now changed into light sniffles. I hated to tear up like this. I am so weak. I can’t even stop him from leaving me. What should I do now? No, I will not give up just like that. I will try to make him understand that he can pursue his studies here as well.But how will all this be possible? What if he leaves me all alone here? How lonely I will become without him? I don’t even have a friend to play with since he started telling me that they can hurt me. I am really on the verge of breaking. I thought all this and kept on going in circles when I heard a knock on the door but dig my face deeper in my pillow. I think the person knocking will go away after hearing no response from the
AUTHOR POV: Fariha was now sitting alone in the room thinking about everything her sister said to her. Her heart was not able to let go but her nature and family teachings never made her greedy. So she decided to let him win this time as well. But she wasn't happy from inside. But after repeating everything her sister said about his parents. She always knew he was alone. And that is why she cared the most for him from the first day. And due to all this care, their bond became stronger and stronger day by day. After freshen up, she took slow steps downstairs her sister was already there waiting for her. '' Did you had fun?'' Fariha asked taking a seat next to her while the maids starting serving both of them. '' Thank God my sister is back, I had fun but not as much as I do with you. I was missing you but you couldn't miss your school so I had to bear It,'' she said in response. '' How can you bear someone missing? Does it hurt a lot?'' Fariha asked finding her situation quite si
MANSOOR POV: '' No don't ask me how to win her back, as I am too angry with you for leaving us like that,'' Sofia said to me feeling that I wanted it. But she was wrong and no one can know what I want that easily. '' I wasn't going to ask you how to win her back. I just want a favor from you,'' I said to her knowing what I wanted very well. '' What type of favor can you want from me?'' she asks me confused as it not possible for me to ask a favor from anyone. '' You have to take care of her and make sure you have extra time in the day. As I don't want her to fall sick because of missing me,'' I said really worried for her. Because I can never see her fall sick and hurt. '' Of course, I will do that because she is my sister. Don’t worry about it and concentrate on your business. I know there are many big issues for you to handle in the upcoming future.'' Sofia said to me knowing my condition very well. After all, I have been closer to her sister more than her. ‘’Thanks, I w
FARIHA’S POV: I was running pacing around a big place but no matter how many turns I took I kept coming to the same place again and again. There was this big room with a very big and beautiful bed in the mid. While big Golden bars first rounding the whole room making it look like a cage similar to a birdcage. I felt someone standing behind me but not even looking at that person I was very scared not finding the courage to look back I wanted to run away but fell on the floor very badly. Like something was grabbing me by my feet. I looked at my legs my anklets were tied with heavy chains. Not able to see anything else I start crying and asking for help but seems like there was no one to help me. I felt that hand on my shoulder and before I could move back and see the face of a dead person my eyes opened. It was a dream but I really bad one. It was a nightmare. I couldn't open my eyes properly as I was sleeping in deep slumber after crying so much and my tears made my eyel
AUTHOR POV:'' Is it that important for you?'' Fariha asked him wanting to know how serious things are. But she didn’t have a single clue how many serious matters were hidden from her.It was better for her, not to know the past of every family member. Because innocent souls like her are only supposed to be told fairy tales. Not dark history.Mansoor loved to get her attention in a short time. It wasn’t a lie that he was feeling down with a headache in the morning but after seeing her response he knew very well how to win her trust in seconds.He never wanted to lie to her but he couldn’t tell her the truth also. Every time he said half of the matters but it was her who couldn’t understand things at such young age.But he needed to reply to her so he simply nods his head in response And at that very moment, she knew very well as she must give up on the idea of making him stay only because she will feel alone. '' Then I think you should go but you will have to promise me that you wi
