Maria watched how Ad-Din ate the food and she couldn't help but drool over him. She could never have imagined the reason why he didn't allow her to eat the food.
Ad-Din was left with the last bit of pasta on the plate and looked at the face of the woman. Her gaze was like daggers as she glared at him. He decided to teach her a lesson.
'Do you want?' he asked. Maria nodded and lifted the fork that was in her hands. She thought he was making fun of her so she swiftly snatched the plate and rolled the pasta unto her fork. Ad-Din watched her knowing the next thing she was going to do after eating it.
Maria tasted the pasta, planning to savour the taste before chewing it but what hit her wasn't a good taste but rather a salted pasta in her mouth. She blinked her eyes thinking something was wrong. She chewed the pasta and touched her throat and stood up. She ran into the kitchen and spat the food out into the dustbin before rinsing her mouth with water.
