Chapter 580: An acceptance or a rejection



Chapter 580: An acceptance or a rejection

Pacing in front of Noor's room door, Noah didn't notice when Norah reached him. 

She patted his shoulder startling him out of his thoughts. Controlling herself from laughing at his situation, "I am feeling like you are waiting for the exam results that you are expecting to flunk."

Noah: "..."

He knew she was amused at his behavior as he never really became tense for many things.

He turned her around and gently pushed her towards the stairs adding, "Don't disturb me." He somehow felt like he was going to lose in this exam and he also wanted his wife's wishes to fulfill.

Norah chuckled before she went downstairs glancing at Naira who went upstairs drinking her protein shake after the workout.

Naira saw Noah knock on Noor's bedroom door. Naira didn't hear the response but Noah heard the soft sleepy voice coming from behind the door, "The door is open."

Noah opened the door to see Noor leaning back on the headboard of the bed, gently rubbing her eyes, yawning wide. 

A smile appeared on Noor's face. She extended her hands towards him, "Good morning, Dad" Her groggy voice had an excitement.

The nerves of Noah settled down looking at her. He went ahead, and gave the morning hug to his daughter, "Good Morning, Noor. Did I wake you up?"

Resting her chin on his shoulder, Noor yawned again with her eyes closed. She missed to see Naira at the room door. "No Dad..."

Naira frowned looking at Noor. The latter hardly put effort into maintaining her body, yet she had a lissom figure. Naira looked at herself, she had sweated in the gym for an hour, she had to be on diet to have a slender figure.

She felt God was unfair to her in every way. Stomping her feet away, she didn't realize Norah watched her reaction and sighed deeply.

Norah didn't want Naira to disturb Noah and Noor's talk so she was just checking out when she noticed Naira pause at Noor's room door. 

Norah always saw siblings celebrate and be happy for the other one. She couldn't understand where exactly it went wrong that Naira nourished the jealousy in her.

She wanted to know if there is a cure for jealousy other than continuing to love her and take care of her.

Inside Noor's bedroom, Noah asked if she wanted to go for another quick nap but Noor said she got a good sleep.

Noor and Noah got their morning coffee to the bedroom before Noah came to the topic.

"Noor..."

Noor gulped her sip before responding, "Yes, Dad."

Noah sighed internally. Even though he always tried to be a friend to his daughters, it was still hard for him to ask, "Do you have anybody you like?" 

Noor paused, hearing him. She understood where he was pointing at. She kept her coffee cup on the bedside table and looked at him.

Her voice was laced with hurt, "Did Sister say anything again?" 

Noah shook his head in denial before Noor's mood could worsen more. He kept his cup away, "Nope, I wanted to know. You can share it with us without fear."

Noor relaxed before she pretended to be thinking and started pulling her fingers out of her fist as though counting.

Noah chuckled looking at her pathetic acting skills, "Alright alright, I understood. You would have told us if you had someone in mind."

Noor chuckled with him before asking seriously, "Dad, is something bugging you?" She tried to think what could be troubling him, "Yesterday, Sister Snow and Rooney were just teasing me. Please don't think too much about it."

Noah watched his daughter who understood something was bugging him. In the same way, he also understands her to a good extent and he also knew Arsh understood her behavior the last day.

"Then why did you stall the question Arna asked you yesterday?"

Noah was right, Noor had skipped answering Arna's question about Noor dating Arsh, whereas she was shaking her head or wording her rejection to the rest of the suggestions.

And Noah was also right that Arsh had sensed Noor turning deaf ears when it came about him. Anyhow, Arsh was aware it wasn't because Noor had fallen for him.

Noor took time to know which question Noah was pointing at before it flashed her, it's about dating Arsh. She didn't feel the necessity to hide it from her father.

"Because I didn't know what to say." She innocently told the truth.

Noah's eyebrows instinctively rose to ask her why she wasn't sure. And it also made him aware Arsh had the chance.

Noor pouted, chiding her own brain in her mind for creating a mess, "After sister Naira said Young Master Morgan loves me, it somehow confused me. If she is right, I should have felt it without words, right? But I never felt anything special."

Noah: "..."

Now sensing the minor details, he understood why Noor calls Ivan as Brother Ivan whereas Arsh never let her address him as Brother but 'Young master' so that she doesn't feel burdened by calling Arsh by the name.

Somehow it reminded him of Alan when Alan was wooing his friend, Arrie and she had no idea either.

Why do young women don't see the small details? Noah thought as he nodded at Noor indicating he was listening to her.

Noor had confusion written all over her face while revealing, "But when I asked myself what if it's true and what am I going to do, I had no answer for it. Neither an acceptance, nor a rejection."

Noah hugged his naive little daughter. He patted her back thinking about how he felt hearing her. He wasn't happy or sad. Instead, he felt like he should help her to find the one who could love his daughter unconditionally. He was fine even if it's Arsh.

He stood up and kissed the crown of her head as he added, "If you fall into a dilemma, you can always seek me or your mother for help."

Noor hummed with a smile on her face. She was glad to see Noah was relaxed after speaking with her. 

'Did Dad think I might be liking Young Master Morgan? Wait... Do I like Young Master Morgan?' She felt a cold run down her spine just by the thought of it.
