Nada and Anas reached their penthouse. Both of them changed into their PJs. Nada was sitting in the lounge waiting for Anas. Anas came and sat beside Nada.
"Let's play Games," said Nada.
"Of course, Doll," replied Anas excitedly.
Both played games. Nada lost the first round. She was sad but Anas starting teasing her and Nada fumed up and they played the next round. This time Nada won.
"Hahaha, I won," shouted Nada.
"Don't be happy so soon. We have more rounds, sis," said Anas trying to make himself feel better.
"Hmph, admit defeat my 'dear brother'. You lost," said Nada plucking her tongue out at Anas.
"This time I was lenient on you. Don't expect me to lose again," said Anas huffing.
"Ok, Ok baby bear, can we continue our game?" said Nada.
Anas nodded and they played the third round. This time again Anas lost and Nada won. They played five more rounds and still Nada won. Anas was fuming in anger. He never lost when he played games. bUt this time he lost seven rounds in a row, so he was very sad.
"Hey, you cheated how can I lose for seven times," whined Anas.
"This is because in the past you played only one round of every game with me," said Nada.
"But I always won from Owen, Silas, Anas, Ahad, and even Bella," Anas said defending himself.
"Baby dear, they are not as good as me, and Bella don't like these games so it's understandable that she always lost tot you," said Nada flicking his forehead.
"Humph, I don't know play more. We continue to play this game until I win," said Anas grabbing the gaming console to play.
"No, I'm hungry. And I'm going to cook so tell me what do you wanna eat," said Nada standing up from the couch.
"Hmm, noodles and braised chicken," said Anas.
"Nice, we have the same taste. I also want to eat that," Nada said as she made her way towards the kitchen.
"Hey, don't just sit there idling, come and help me cut the vegetables," said Nada calling Anas in the kitchen.
"Ok, Minnie mouse," said Anas as he entered the kitchen.
Both siblings cooked their lunch in harmony. They talked while cooking. They were enjoying their 'sibling time'.
Nada was arranging the plated on the dining table. She looked up and looked at Anas filling the bowl with the soup.
"Anas, what are your thoughts about Theo?" asked Nada surprising Anas.
"Hmm, he is a nice man," said Anas placing the soup on the table.
"Just Nice?" asked Nada prying more about his thoughts about Anas.
"Nada, he is an honest man, on top of that he will be loyal to you," said Anas.
Both of them sat in their chairs and started to serve themselves food. Nada served herself with some noodles and a piece of braised chicken.
She then looked up and said, "How do you know that he will be loyal?"
"Well, Nada I think you're forgetting I also studied psychology and according to my experience, he has a pure soul just as you, my baby," replied Anas.
"Hmm, I believe you," said Nada.
"I believe in you more, baby sis, because I knew that my sister's choice can never be bad," said Anas.
"Thanks, bro," said Nada eating her food.
"Hey, Nada, do you remember when we were still babies our elder siblings were so protective of us, especially you," said Anas cheerfully.
"Yes, And remember Owen bro even forbid his friends to come to our house to play, because they said to him that your sister is cute, and Silas bro fought for the first time with Owen bro because Owen bro pulled my cheeks until they turned red," Nada said while smiling.
"Hmm, and Bella sis gave her dolls which she liked so much in charity because you were scared of the dolls," said Anas reminiscing the past.
"And, remember when we met Ayer siblings for the first time, Alan patted my head because he thought I was cute and after that, he got a beating from Owen and Silas bro," said Nada remembering the funny fight between the trio.
"Yep, that was the time when all of us siblings sat in the garden with our snacks and watched the live version of children's WWE. Remember we all were watching them fight with so much interest and we even cheered for Owen and Silas forgetting the poor little Alan," said Anas laughing out loud.
"And then we all were scolded badly by the elders, And Alan was so scared that he avoided me altogether," said Nada.
"Hmm, but that was fun though," answered Anas.
Nada agreed with her brother. They finished their lunch and talked for a while more. Both of them laughed reminiscing about their joyful childhood memories. They laughed and teased each other on remembering some of their naughty pranks.
"Let's go home," said Nada.
"Yes, let's go, or bratty elders will again nag," replied Anas.
They both then went home. At half-past seven, they both reached home. They found their elders sitting in the lounge so they also joined them. The whole family conversed happily and then ate their dinner together.
After dinner, Renée went to Nada's room. She knocked on the door. After hearing the voice of Nada saying 'come in'. She went in and closed the door.
Nada told Renée to sit on the bed and wait as she was changing her clothes. After changing her clothes Nada came and sat beside Renée.
"Renée, is there anything I can help with," said Nada.
"Hmm, Nada do you love my brother," asked Renée.
Nada was silent and didn't answer. Renée waited for her reply. But it didn't come. Renée sighed and said, " Nada, I love my brother. And I also love you. In this short time, I have started loving you more and more as my sister. So whatever your decision will be I'll respect it. I'll always be by your side."
Listening to Renée's words Nada felt happy. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Renée's emotional words. Nada sighed and hugged her tightly.
"Renée, I love you so much. You are a true person. And also my true friend. You know what I love your brother, I love him very much. But I also love my country and my passion for medicine. So I need some time. And I don't know if your brother can wait for me or not," said Nada.
Renée was astonished hearing her inner thoughts. She felt like crying but composed herself. She returned Nada's hug and said, "Nada, I'm happy that you shared all this with me. I think that you should talk to my brother."
"Call him and talk to him about this matter. I believe in you as well as in my brother. He will understand," said Renée as she left the room.
After Renée left, Nada went into thoughts. She was thinking whether she would call him or not. In the end, she decided to call him.
Nada laid on her bed with her hair sprawled over the pillows. She looked ethereal in her white nightdress. Her black raven hair complemented with her white skin. She called his number and counted every ring. She looked at the wall-clock and saw it was already half-past twelve. She was ready to hang up, but He picked it up.
"Hello," came his gruff voice.
Nada remained silent. She felt her heart beating rapidly. When she heard his voice she fell in a trance.
"Who is it?" he inquired with his hoarse voice.
It felt like he was either sleeping or he came out of the shower. Nada imagined his body with only a towel wrapped around his waist. The instant a picture appeared in her mind she covered her face with her hairs.
When Theo saw that no one was speaking he hanged up. He just finished his work and came out of the shower. He was holding his sketch pad which had Nada's sketches. He was preparing to sleep when his private phone rang. He glanced at the screen and found it was an unsaved number. He still picked up the call.
He felt rather strange. His private number is known by only his sister Renée, his brother Adler, and his assistant Mathew. No one else has access to his private number, so who called him. He was ready to call Mathew(his assistant) to investigate this number when his phone again rang. It was the same number. He picked it up.
"Hello?" he said. He didn't know the impact of his voice on the other person.
Nada rolled on her back and sighed internally on hearing his voice oozing with sexiness. She wanted to listen more of his voice. She was in her dreamland when she heard Theo speak.
"If you're not saying anything then I'll hang up."
"Stop, don't. Don't hang up," said Nada abruptly afraid that he will hang up.
Now it was Theo's turn to go in a trance. When He heard her panicked voice he was dumbfounded. He knew it was Her voice. He was speechless on how perfect her voice is. Sooting his fatigued bloody in a second. He felt that her voice cleansed the deep parts of her soul.
"I-I I'm Aergul Nada," said Nada in a small voice.
Theo felt his heart was struck by cupid's arrow. He felt it hard to control his emotions. He closed his eyes and replayed her voice in his mind. After what felt like forever he spoke.
"Aergul Nada, Do you have something to say?"
Nada felt like the question was out of the script and said, "Shouldn't you ask something like, How did you get my number?"
"Well, then tell me how did you get my number?" said Theo smiling.
"Hmm, I got it because I investigated you," said Nada.
"You investigated me?" asked Theo in his husky voice.
Nada clenched her dress at her chest and said, "It's not like you're not the only one who can investigate."
"How do you know that I tried to investigate you?" asked Theo with obvious shock.
"Do you think that I am just as innocent and sweet as I look, Hmm?" counter questioned Nada.
"To me, you always looked like a meek and sweet girl," said Theo as he leaned back on the bed.
"Hmm, then you should pay more attention. I'm more fierce one than being a meek one," said Nada.
"Oh, so you are fierce?" teased Theo.
Nada blushed at the intensity in his voice and said, "Yes, I am. And you should never think of me as a meek person."
"For me, you are very meek, Love," said Theo.
"Wh-What, What did say?" asked Nada in a hushed tone.
Theo realized that hee called her love. He felt shy and blushed. But he composed himself and said to her, "I said, for me, you are meek, Love."
"So you did say that," said Nada laughing lightly.
Theo heard her laughter. It felt as smooth bells ringing in his ears.
"You have a beautiful laugh," complimented Theo.
"Do you like me?" asked Nada.
Theo was surprised at her sudden straightforward question. But he answered her truthfully. He inhaled a deep breath and said, "Yes, I like you very much."
"As in?" asked Nada.
"As in I want to spend the rest of my life with you," replied Theo as he covered his face with the back of his hand and waited patiently for her reply.
"I-I also like you," stuttered Nada.
Nada was feeling very shy. Her heart was beating like crazy. She felt as if she had run a marathon. After hearing her shy confession Theo breathed a silent sigh of relief.
"I not only like you, I love you, My Queen," said Theo in a sincere tone.
Nada felt her whole world stop. She felt her heart stopped for a moment. She then braced herself and said, "Will you come to the Dain's Party the day after tomorrow?"
"If you're coming I'll also come," said Theo.
"You have to come," said Nada with an authoritative voice.
"Hmm, I'll come for sure, darling," said Theo.
"Say that again," said Nada.
"What?" Theo knew she was telling him to call her Darling again but he wanted to tease her and so he did.
"You know what. And don't tease me," said Nada annoyed.
Theo laughed heartily and said, "Ok, As you wish Darling."
"Bye," said Nada.
Without waiting for a reply from Theo she hanged up. Nada then put her face in the pillows and shrieked excitedly.
She was so happy. She was happy beyond words that the person she likes also likes her in return. She then smiled and drifted to her dreamland filled with the beautiful dreams of her and her prince.
On the other hand, Theo was also jumping in joy. He sat up and looked at the sketch of Nada. He wanted the time to fly. He wanted to meet her like crazy. He then laughed at her shyness. Hearing her soothing yet sexy voice his heart, as well as his body, was in turmoil. His emotions went haywire.
He then tried to focus and calm his erratic heart. After some time he also drifted to sleep.
Both of them were sure that they are each other's true love. And no matter what the future held out for them they will never leave the other alone.
They will cherish each other. They will respect and love each other to the deep end. They will be there for each other whenever the need arises.
