He was on the last step of stairs when Mah e Roo opened her eyes slowly. He became still, thinking that she would scream now. But she didn't. She was looking at his face, blinking in confusion. His face features were not clear but the moonlight was enough to see that he was a man. She realized he had held her in his arms. Why? A question raised in her mind.
Was he a ghost who wanted to eat her fairy? She gave shelter to her fairy. That's why he was taking her with him. She felt excited instead of fear.
"Ghost!" She exclaimed. Hassan, who was busy staring at her, came into his senses. Ghost? Really? This word hit his mind badly. Was he looking like a ghost? He always heard handsome prince like words for himself but he never heard such words.
"You are a ghost. right?" She gritted her teeth. Hasaan parted his lips to say something but she didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Do you want to eat my fairy?" Hasaan knitted his eyebrows. Was she a 5 years old girl? Her words were childish.
"I know You want to eat my fairy. If you try to kill her , I will break all the bones of your body. " Hasaan was surprised at her courage. He understood that she was not a normal girl like her age-fellow children. She was 16 years old but was talking like 5 or 6 years old Children. The girls of her age did not believe in fairies and couldn't be calm in stranger's arms. They knew a little bit about the relationship of man and woman but it seemed she knew nothing. She was far more than innocent. Silly or stupid.
" Mah e Roo" He called her in a way that she stopped her saying something else. But it was for just one second.
"You know my name too. You have magic?" She asked quickly. Hasaan took a deep breath and sat her on the floor.
" No matter how much you have magic, you can't compete with me. I am a fairy queen. I have more power than you. I can enclose you in the bottle." She tried to threaten him. Hasaan's Patience reached at its peak.
"Stop the nonsense girl. " He said in an angry tone. Mah e Roo got furious also.
"How dare you " she punched him on the shoulder astonished him.
" I will kill you idiot.…." She rushed upon him. Hasaan held her both hands. She started hitting him with her legs. He clenched the ankles of her both feet.
"Leave me, beast!" She shouted.
"Shut up" he roared in an awful tone . Maah e roo stopped for a moment then started again.
"You are an ugly devil… "
"I said, shut your mouth," He growled in anger. Mah e Roo stopped her breathing, looking at him in fear. Hasaan wanted to speak something but she stopped him again. Not by her mouth but nose. She sneezed. She did not even put her hand on her mouth. Hasaan made a face and moved a little back. Seeing him moving back, Mah e Roo felt embarrassed. Now he would also consider her dirty. That's why she did not want anyone to meet her . She wanted to be alone.
"Go away. Otherwise I will sneeze on you again." She said,
" troublesome! " he muttered
"You are troublesome too…." She wanted to say something more but he held her both shoulders and shook her.
"say another word and see how I will kill you. " He said in a heavy voice. His words made her really silent this time.
"I am here to eat you, not your fairy. That's why I was taking you with me" He dealt with Mah e Roo in the same way as she was talking.
"will… will you eat me?" She stammered. Her bravery had gone. Hasaan smirked.
"Yes. If you do not listen to me then I will eat you in one bite."
"No. No. Don't eat me. I'm bitter like a gourd." She said, His smile deepened. He didn't even know he was smiling.
"I like bitter gourd." He scared her, pressing his smile.
"I'm a little. Your hunger won't end by eating me. You should eat my sister. Yes. eat her." She suggested. Hasaan gaped at her
"No, I will eat the fairy Queen. Are you not a Fairy queen? You have powers, then why are you not closing me in the bottle?" Hasaan challenged her. She got furious again and started slapping him on the shoulders. He
"Insolent ghost. I won't spare you.
Hasaan held her both hands again and made her helpless fully.
"Now tell me who has more power ?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Mah e roo stared at him with her eyes full of anger but couldn't say any word because of fear.
"I am more powerful than you. Now answer my questions, otherwise I will punish you."
"Don't punish me." She said like a crybaby
"Then tell me where you live?" He started her interview.
"Here." Mah e Roo replied like an offended child.
"Here? On the rooftop?" he was surprised.
"No. I mean… in my room on the third floor " she said, batting her eyelashes. Hasaan turned his gaze away from her beautiful face. She was attracting him towards her. But he had to look at her again.
" Do you know how you came here?"
"You brought me here." She frowned. He learned She did not know that she was suffering from somnambulism .
"Show me your room." He said.
"why?" she asked.
"No questions." he stared at her coldly.
"O… ok." She said nervously and stood up, holding the railing. She staggered but Hasaan grabbed her quickly. It didn't affect maah e roo but did Hassan severely.
He pulled a deep breath and left her. She started stepping down on the stairs. Hasaan felt a defect in her left ankle. She couldn't walk properly. His heart sank to see that. He forgot she insulted her just a while ago.
"Let me help you. " He wanted to support her but she jerked his hand away.
"don't. I will go myself. You just go from here. Otherwise I will insult you. " She said strictly and moved ahead. Hasaan frowned and turned on the torch of his phone to brighten her way. She slowly moved down and reached the third floor. Hasaan also followed her. She was walking with the support of a wall.
