Chapter 11: Let's not talk about that
When she woke up it was evening already. She left the bed, asked Nancy to brew her a cup of coffee and sat at the tea table.
After some time, Nancy brought her coffee at the tea table and left to do other chores.
Noor was deep in her thoughts that she didn't notice when Nancy came in and served.
She couldn't help thinking about Jimmy, that how he came in to rescue her at the right time like a knight in shining armor. How he took care of her and even called her "sweetie". She felt warm in her heart, she smiled unconsciously.
She was in a daze thinking about him, that her coffee turned cold.
She sat in front of the window. A person could view the entire driveway and the watchman's every action from there. It also covered a distant view of a yellow streetlight along the road. She sat cupping her face with her hands, anxiously waiting for him to return home.
At exactly 10 PM the watchman opened the main gate to let Jimmy's car into the driveway. He came at his regular time. She jumped with joy and sprinted towards the door. She had so many questions she wanted to ask him but when she saw him so drained out of energy, she could not ask.
He lied down on the sofa as if he was going to faint; she took his laptop and placed aside. She ran to the kitchen to bring water for him and offered him water. He sat back and took water from her. She stared at him forcing water down his gullet.
"Are you okay?" she asked. Her heart was aching for him. The smile she had a few hours ago, vanished. His knight was sick.
"I am okay, just tired a bit…" he said with a little unconsciousness.
"Nancy told me that you didn't eat breakfast in the morning, did you eat anything all day?" she tried to look in his eyes, but his eyes were closed.
"…"
He shook his head in a no.
She understood that his health declined because he didn't eat all day.
"You get freshen up, I am serving the dinner on the table", that's all she could utter from her mouth.
"…"
"Let me help you freshen up…" She said hesitantly.
He opened his eyes to look at her. he was confused.
His eyes were brimming with love.
He blushed when she said that.
Does it mean that she agrees to look at my body naked? His head was working at the speed of 10 horses. His cheeks turned pink.
"No, I will take a bath myself…" he hesitated. He was a gentleman of course, and what if he got turned on in that situation.
He blinked hard to control his emotions.
After a while she said, "Okay then let me fill the bathtub for you…" she stood up and ran towards the bathroom.
He smiled and covered his face with his hands. His tiredness flew out of the window.
...
After dinner, they were standing at the balcony. The night was chilly, clouds were visible in the night sky. There was a pin drop silence in the streets.
He looked at her. He looked at her face thoroughly, he lifted her chin up and touched her lower lip.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked.
"No…" she replied.
"But it is still a little swollen… I will help you put ointment on it later", he said, removed his hand from her face and looked away.
There was total silence between them.
He looked at her again and said," I reported the incident to higher authorities in my company. They will do the needful judgment within some days".
"Let's not talk about that, please ", She abruptly answered. She was embarrassed.
She looked down and he turned his gaze at the lonely street again.
And then there was silence between them all over again.
