Zaid's pov
"Shall I braid your hair?" I asked her for the 2nd time but Nuska being the stubborn girl wouldn't let me do it for her.

I am currently on the bed,wondering Why?
Do you remember the deal we had in the morning because she poured water on me..
Yeah, that's working now..

"I'll let you braid my hair if you let me sleep on the bed?" She asked with hopeful eyes.

"Sorry can't.. you was the one who suggested this idea, right?"

"It's hard to sleep on the sofa" she whined.

"Really! Then how do you expect me to sleep there" I raised my eyebrows.

"Please.."

"Nope"

"Okay fine, let's sleep together then" she said.

"What?" I was shocked, seriously I never expected that.

"I mean both of us can sleep on the bed but I promise I will not come to your side" she suggested but I pretended as if I am thinking whether to accept it or not but my heart already gave a green light to let her sleep on the bed.

"Okay but DO NOT COME TO MY SIDE"

"Okay, Thank you Zaid"

"No problem" I said and yet again she started to braid her hair.

After few minutes
"Urgh.. I hate you hair" she complained to her HAIR, which can't yell back but only got to hear her complains.

Poor hair..

"Why do you have to braid your hair all of a sudden today?"

"Because I feel like to"

"Hmm.. who braids your hair at home?"

"Mom"

"Shall I braid it for you?" I asked again.

"Okay" she agreed and sat infront of me on the bed.

I started braiding her hair when she asked, "How do you know to braid hair?"

"Zainab insisted me to learn it so that I could braid my wife's hair when necessary"I said, "and now i think it was worth learning"

"Yeah"she said chuckling.

Once I finished braiding her hair, she thanked me and asked, "Do you braid Zainab's hair?"

"Yes, sometimes"

"Nice.."

"So shall we sleep?"

"Yes okay" she agreed and went to the other side and lied down.

"Zaid, don't come to my side"

"Okay, I won't"I said and recited the duas and dosed off to sleep.
*********************
I rubbed my eyes and opened it and found Nuska still sleeping as expected.

When will she ever wake up early??
Even if she is kidnapped or not she will still sleep peacefully, that's what she told me when I asked about her PRECIOUS sleep..

But true to her words she did not come to my side neither did I go to her side..

She stirred in her sleep but did not wake up thankfully, because if she wake up I would miss the chance of admiring her..

Ma sha Allah, she is very beautiful but I have never told about this to her because I don't want her to feel that I have started liking her, note the point it's LIKE not LOVE..

Staring at her, my hand moved on it's own and moved away the fallen hair from her face and started stroking her cheeks.

Even though she is a chatterbox and an angry bird, she is very innocent..

Maybe that's why I like her..

Great promotion Zaid, from no feelings towards her to liking her now, my inner voice joked.

Huh,thanks.

Next feeling is love and I am waiting for that to happen, my inner voice spoke again.

Shut up, thats never going to happen. Now please keep quiet, I want to admire her..

I don't know what made me do that but I moved towards her and kissed her on the forehead, my heart started beating fast and I moved away quickly fearing whether my likeness towards her will turn to love,very soon.

No Zaid that should never happen, remember mom will never accept Nuska because mom has already fixed Zara for you, my inner voice reminded.

No, I don't want Zara

Then who do you want?, my inner voice questioned.

I don't know..

I sighed and left to the bathroom before I lose control and accept her as my wife and my love...

Nuska's pov
I stirred in my sleep but did not wake up because I was lazy to do it.

I was trying to go back to sleep when I felt someone touching me.

Zaid??
Obviously it's him idiot, my inner voice confirmed.

He moved my hair away from my face and started stroking my cheeks.

What the hell?

Now I was fully awake but I couldn't open my eyes since I feel Zaid close to me..

Mr. ZAID KHAN, PLEASE TAKE YOUR HAND...

urgh..please heart calm down..

I can sense Zaid moving towards me, but why?

He kissed me on my forehead suddenly and i was dumbfound because I never expected this.

He kissed me,
Does he do this always?

Does he have feelings for me, like how i have for him??

I felt him move after lingering his lips on my forehead for few seconds.

After five minutes I heard the bathroom door open and close, confirming he is in the bathroom I opened my eyes.

I sighed and got up from the bed.

One week and four more days for all this to end...
I hope it ends well..

With that thought I waited for Zaid to come out of the bathroom so that I could get ready for yet another day in this place.

❤Precap❤
Is it my fault that I fell in love with him?
Is it my fault,tell me?

"Is it my fault that I fell in love with you?" I shouted at him.

"Yes it is your fault, you should have the ability to control your feelings" he yelled back.

"Please Zaid"
