2. Dinner and gazes
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I spent the rest of the day with my tutor Mrs. Clara. She had to explain me complex numbers thrice. I couldn't concentrate at all. I was thinking too much of the kidnapping threat, my new bodyguard and the fact that my father is as if abandoning me.
"Talk a bit about yourself, Eren." My dad starts up a conversation as the three of us are having dinner in the grand kitchen. "For how long have you been doing this job?"
Eren places back the spoon he was about to put in his mouth on his plate. "Um..." His tongue quickly slips out to wet his lips. "Almost two years."
"That's great." My father beams at him. "Is the training as hard as they say?"
Eren blinks twice as if the question has perplexed him. "Effectively. Euh..." He trails off, rubbing the sharp line of his jaw. "I-It was mostly about endurance."
My father nods in fascination.
Eren is sitting in front of me and I can't take my eyes off of him. He is eating so elegantly that it's as if he is doing a commercial for the chicken fried rice. The way his lips seductively part a little as the spoon reach his mouth, the way his mouth delicately moves as he chews on the food and the way his tongue quickly swirls out to lick his lips, I can't help but think he is eating something other than food.
As he swallows, his eyes catch me drooling over him. Embarrassed, I quickly look down at my plate.
Great Hayat. Great.
"You seem to be a reliable young man Eren." My father says. Saved by him. "I should thank the inspector for sendin—"
"Oh no." Eren quickly interrupts him. "The inspector doesn't like to be disturbed. I don't think he will remember you in first place." He laughs a little. "There are so many cases during a day."
My father shrugs. "Alright then."
As I keep distractingly swinging my legs under the table while listening to their conversation, my foot suddenly hit Eren's leg.
Oh fish.
He looks up at me, his sea green eyes slightly wide.
My head begins throbbing. "I'm sorry." I mouth shyly, feeling my heart racing in my throat.
But he stares at me with no expression, his eyes glazing as they darken. His lips then stretch into a small smirk, mischief grinning in it. Please tell me he isn't thinking that I did that on purpose.
Throughout the whole dinner, Eren and I have been exchanging eye contact and I couldn't eat properly. I can't believe he is the same guy with whom I used to play everyday when I was little. We are now complete strangers and even a single look we give to each other is damn weird. I don't think I will be able to have a normal conversation with him one day.
"Are you alright, sweetie?" My father enquires concernedly, eyeing my plate. He must be seeing that I've barely eaten anything.
I look at him, dazed, coming back to my senses. "Y-yeah." I forcibly murmur.
He shuts his eyes briefly and sighs. "Look," he takes my hand. "I have already expl—"
"It's fine, daddy." I assure him with a small smile, knowing what he was about to say. "I understand."
He stares at me for a few seconds as if he wants to say something. But he keeps his words to himself and tells Eren instead in all seriousness.
"Take care of my daughter."
My brows bump together into a scowl. I think I can take care of myself.
Eren takes a look at me, a small incomprehensible smile at the corner of his lips.
"I will."

Eren 3. Lower down the towel
After dinner, my dad left. This time, it was hard and sorrowful for me to see his car disappeared along the road. This time, I needed him to stay and act as a father. But I tried my best not to act as a selfish daughter. I'm not the type to beg. I prefer to let people realise on their own. I just hope it won't be too late when my dad will. The next day after classes, I have stayed in my room to do some homework and revise what I've done today. I have to catch up. I've not heard of Eren, we didn't talk at all. He has also stayed in his room, which is the guest room next to my room. With him now living in the same house, I don't feel like roaming around and have dinner in the kitchen, so I took my dinner in my room. Afterwards, I changed into my nightgown and sat comfortably on my bed to read on GoodNovel with my phone before I sleep. But as I read, the breathtaking face of Eren tic

After freshing up, I walk downstairs for breakfast. As I enter the kitchen, I find Mrs.Tina in her red apron, her head down as she busies herself in front of the stove.Mrs.Tina is the maid of this house since a long time. She comes in the morning, cleans up the house, prepares us lunch and dinner and then she goes home. I adore her so much because she cooks every meal according to my taste.As if she sensed my presence, she turns around. Her freckly face lits up with a glorious smile on seeing me. "Good morning my beauty.""Good morning pretty woman." I beam back. "How are you?""I'm nickel like always." She replies, tossing her short red hair over her shoulder.I chuckle. She always tries to impress people with a French word."What about you?" Tina asks, turning her head back to poach the fish curry with the spatula. My stomach grumbles at the good sm

In the evening I stayed in my room. I did some homeworks and had dinner there itself. As usual before I sleep, I'm reading on GoodNovel while lying on my bed. I was concentrated on a proposing scene when a message from Azure suddenly pops up on the screen.I shot up from the bed, my heartbeat accelerating.Oh. My. God!Without losing a second, I quickly open the message.Azure: Hey❤ What's up?At that moment, I want to jump on the bed and do a happy dance. I can't believe this. He didn't forget about me!I was about to reply him when Eren suddenly yells."Hayat!""Hayat!" He repeats more loudly.What's going on?Curious to know why he is calling me, I swiftly reply Azure .Hayat: Hey❤ Reading on GoodNovel and u?Thank
Eren 6.Sugar Daddy
'Embarrassing moments is only just the beginning.' What did Eren meant by that? For sure I know, his eyes will tell more than he will say. I slept last night thinking of those electrifying eyes. How can they even be legal? I was so close to him in the bathroom and I just couldn't handle it. My body was as if on fire, my stomach blazing by the flames and my breathing blocked by the smoke. That it is. He is inflaming me by progressively adding fuel. And I need to extinguish this holocaust before I get burned. But what if— I'm thrown out of my thoughts when someone snaps his fingers in front of my face, making me jolt once. I then realise that it's Mrs. Clara, my teacher. She is a gangling brunette, around forty who doesn't only looks serious but actually is. She has been tutoring me sin

Eren 7. Pasta with nutella
At dinner time, I head downstairs to the kitchen. The house is so silent that it’s as if I’m all alone. I wish nanny Sarah was here. I’m close to her even though she is quite strict. At least I would have someone to talk with. Ignoring my thoughts, I enter the grand kitchen. I chuckle silently as I remember what happened here this morning. Eren is insane. Poor Mrs. Clara. I go to the counter and take off the lid of the big bowl and the pleasing aroma of the boil pasta immediately comes to my sense. I take off the lid of the second container and see the accompanying chicken sauce. I smile. Mrs. Tina separated the pasta and the sauce. She knows me so well. As I turn to fetch a plate from the cupboard, I drive into a stonewall chest causing me to freak out and gasp. Eren. Does he eat bricks or what? I immediately step ba
Eren 8. Morning exercises
I was woken up early today by my father's call. Instead of ignoring him to show that I'm still angry at him, I talked to him nicely for about fifteen minutes before I went to make breakfast. I feel all giddy and happy today. I should have been sad because I had to refuse Azure at the last minute last night but strangely, at the thought of Eren's compliment I can't help but to smile.After making some pancakes and some fresh orange juice, I head to the sport room to exercise a bit while waiting for Eren to wake up. I want to have breakfast in his company, hearing him talking about our childhood memories. I never thought a guy like him would remember all these details. It's so sweet of him.I walk to the sport room which is on the corresponding floor as the bedchambers. The door of the sport room is already a bit open, so I enter and my moves suspend at the sight of a shirtless Eren lifting weight. Oh, he is already up. He can't see m
Eren 9. The Vampire Diaries
In the evening after my tutor left, I was terribly bored. Since that day when Eren called himself a 'sugar daddy', Mrs. Clara can't help but to glare at him everytime she sees him. I find this amusing. Dull, I have settled comfortably on the couch with a bowl of popcorn to watch the last season of the Vampire Diaries. I have watched all the seven seasons long time back and forgot to watch the last one when it got out. I’ve decided to watch it this month since I will be bored at home as it’s a bit forbidden for me to go out. After watching the first episode of season eight for a couple of minutes, Eren appears in the salon in a grey t-shirt and black sweatpants. I quickly cross my legs, trying to look presentable. Taking a glance at me, he looks at the television and exclaims. “Oh, Tvd.” He plops down on the couch beside me and steals some popcorn. “You’re a fan of?” I ask curiously, not expec

Well, I can’t believe that their story is over. My heart tore up when I wrote the last chapter. But I’m also so happy that Eren and Hayat got their beautiful ending, together with their son. Maybe with their new baby as well. Erena. Perhaps a sequel? Haha. Thank you so much to those who stayed with them in their gleeful moments till the end of their moving adventure. Hayat and Eren faced a lot of difficulties and misunderstandings, but the lesson is to always be patient. The day will come when all the problems will disappear, where the sun will shine brighter on your side. Also, find yourself a sweet, handsome man like Eren brouhaha ;) Stay blessed and don’t stop smiling! Love you all! ;)
Eren 44. A new start
One month later. With a warm, blissful feeling in my chest, I watch Eren as he is applying some birthday cake cream on our son's face, who is then groaning as he is trying to clean the cream from his eyes. Toni is meanwhile recording this scene with his new camera while Troy is sitting on his shoulder, laughing on the birthday boy. Tamarra in on the other hand, distributing small cakes to the guests, stopping by Azure and Ludmilla to talk a bit. Yeah.Unbelievably, Azure and Ludmilla is a thing. I don't know how and where this fire started, but I'm happy that they started afresh with their love life. After all,it's a new start. Blessed, I close my eyes for some seconds and smile gratefully.Thank you so much for this happiness, god. I just wish you were here with us, dad. We miss you so much. "Mommy, mommy!" My thoughts are interrupted when I hear little Eren calling me, heavy
Eren 43. Do you believe me, Hayat?
My nostrils flare at the good smell.What's that- My eyes snap wide. I shot up from the bed and look around the room in confusion. Beside me, little Eren is spread like an octopus, snoring softly. Erden has already woken up.What is he making in the kitchen so early? I tiptoe out of the room so that I don't wake up Eren. After adjusting my hair quickly, I walk downstairs to the kitchen and find the talk brunet in front of the table, his head down as he busies himself by settling the table. "Good morning." I let out in confusion. "You're an early bird today." His head flicks up and a welcoming smile appears on his face at the sight of me. "Hey, good morning." He greets chirpily. He seems unusually happy. "Breakfast is ready!" The table he is gesturing at consists of chocolate pancakes, some French toasts accompanied by a big bowl of cut-off fresh fruits. For the drinks, there are steamy-hot of coffees
Eren 42. Reality is finally better
"I was going crazy, but I didn't show it. I waited for the right moment to execute my plan." My head is throbbing as I keep hearing all what he had endured.Why they did this to him. He didn't deserve this. Eren sighs more determinedly this time. "By the end of the third year, the favorable mission finally came. I was ordered to kill the leader mafia of the enemy gang to which they owed millions. It was to prove them that I was really one of them, to make them proud that we were all of the same blood. But I would never be able to kill someone in my life." My eyes narrowed curiously. "As per my brothers plan, I went there to pretend that I'm returning the leader his money. My brothers were supposed to barged in with weapons behind his men. And at that moment, I should have to bury the knife which I was hiding in him." My heart skips a beat.No, no, no. He didn't do that. Eren smirks proudly which reassures me
Eren 41. Revelations
After our son slept, Eren came back to tell me the story of his disappearance Grabbing some drinks, we go on the roof to have a peaceful discussion. We take a seat on the small bench, facing each other. There is an awkward silence between us which makes me look around, eagerly waiting for him to start. I notice that the sky is of a reddish colour tonight as it's about to rain. It matches the thrilling atmosphere which surrounds Eren's mystery. "Hayat," he calls out softly, breaking the silence. He tries to reach for my hand but I quickly fold my arms, not allowing him to touch me. A part of me just want to hear him with a ray of hope in my heart that the light of the candle is still on for us, to brighten our future together. But another part of me is not sure that I will believe whatever he will tell me. This part of me won't let him fool me. He breathes out defeatedly and clasps his hands together as his legs are spread. "This st
Eren 40. Listen to him
In the afternoon, Eren was authorized to return home. Words can't describe how relieved and happy I'm to have him back home with me. "I'm going to make some soup for you." I say, kissing the top of his forehead. "You don't get out of bed okay?" He nods slightly, hugging tightly his teddy bear. In the kitchen, I begin to peel and cut some vegetables when the doorbell suddenly rings. Surely Tamarra. I quickly wipe my hands in a towel and go to open. "Where is the little prince?" Azure barges in as I open the door followed by Toni. Toni and Tamarra were with me when I brought Eren home. I close the door, my eyes narrowing at Azure. "Why does Toni needs to guard you?" He inhales a sharp breath, rubbing the back of his nape. "We both need to talk to you." I raise a curious brow. He tends me a pack
Eren 39. Your Eren is not leaving you
Eren "Goodbye...Eren." She turns and walks away. I watch her in despair till my vision becomes blurred with tears. She then disappears completely as my eyes are overflooded. It's as if somebody just stabbed me in the heart, rending me paralysed. I can't breath, I can't think, I can't live. My body feels so weak, like my soul just left it. A lump is formed in my throat as I'm about to break into tears. I inhale and exhale several times, searching to control myself but with her gorgeous face in my mind and that of our son, it's unbearable. Succumbing, I fall down on my knees and finally cry my heart out, tears deluding down my cheeks like a waterfall. I punch the ground once, twice, but the pain in my heart is still here. I punch a couple of times more, but I can't get rid of this ache. Like an injured dog, I howl my heart out in the darkness of thi
Eren 38. I'm his father
With tears in my eyes, heart pounding in my chest, I barge in the waiting room of the hospital with Erden by my side. There, Tamara is sitting by Toni, her head resting on his shoulder. Azure is also present, Troy sitting on his lap. They all jerk up from their chair as they notice my presence. Tamarra runs to me, her eyes flooding with tears. She reaches me and immediately throws herself in my arms, bursting into tears. "Hayat, I'm so sorry. Eren was playing with Troy and he fell from the stairs accidentally!" "It's okay Tamarra." I hug her back tightly, holding back my tears. "It's not your fault." She pulls out of the hug, wiping her tears. "What the doctor said till now?" I ask, my hand gently touching her arm. She shuts her eyes briefly. "The doctor said that because of his young age, the impact when he fell caused a head trauma. He can't say anything for sure now.
Eren 37. The beach Spot
After locking my house securely, I slip the key in my pocket and walk to Erden as he is waiting for me on— "On Eren's bike." I burst out without thinking. Great. Your mouth really needs a filter Hayat. He slides up his tinted visor so that I can see the upper part of his face. The street lamps are casting enough light on his eyes for me to notice the sincerity in them. "I thought it would make you happy to ride on your ex-boyfriend's bike after so many years." Feeling ashamed, I bite on my tongue guiltily. "T-Thank you." Erden is just trying to help me. I'm not afraid to start something with him. I know he would make me happy and precisely, Eren. My son loves him so much and I'm sure he will be a good father to him. But I don't know why this is stressing me out. I just don't want to be with him just because he reminds me of Eren, just because he looks like him.
