His Limitless Love
Chapter 19

Zaroon took a step forward, when he heard a hiccup. He turned on his heels, Jannat looked at him with teary eyes, she hugged his waist without a second thought. Her face was hidden in his chest. Zaroon also wrapped his arms around her, "shhh !don't weep, it hurts me."Zaroon said and kissed the top of her head.

When she still kept crying, Zaroon continued "I won't scold you again, you can say what you want. But please stop crying " Zaroon said.

"I was missing home " Jannat whispered and Zaroon nodded in understanding.

My sparrow, can you please do something for me ?"Zaroon asked her pulling back and wiping her tears. She nodded seeing his care for her. She knew it was her stupidity and her impulsiveness made him scold her. "Let's be friends for real "Zaroon said.

"Ok," Jannat said with a vow to really let him in.

Zaroon grinned and asked her to come after washing her face.

Zaroon helped her with her homework and then they did dinner. Jannat was impressed with how intelligent he was. He made her understand everything effortlessly.

After dinner, Zaroon suggested that they watch a movie together. They settled on the bed and Zaroon played the movie of Jannat's choice.

They were sitting close together, through half of the movie Jannat fell asleep. Zaroon turned off the movie and left the room after putting a blanket on her. He didn't want to but he knew, he needed to be patient. The next day, it was easier for Jannat. No one said anything to her or looked at her weirdly.

A week passed like that. Small changes took place at this time. She and zaroon weren't that formal anymore. She had gotten comfortable around him, now him playing with her hair or kissing her forehead holding her hand didn't bother her. She actually waited for his small touches. His morning kiss on the forehead before going to college made her feel taken care of. She knew that there was someone to take care of her, who will watch her back.

Zaroon enjoyed seeing her opening up. Her smiles were his favourite. He had noticed small changes taking place. At first, she went still whenever he touched her or kissed her but now it was just the opposite. A smile took over her lips every time. She hadn't really analyzed their relationship, she just went with the flow.

At night, they were watching a movie. This time, it was a horror one." Boooo "Zaroon said softly near her ear. She jumped and hit his shoulder.

"Zaroonnnnnn" she whined, Zaroon couldn't control his laughter. He chuckled, she shifted and placed her back against Zaroon's chest. Her head resting near his neck.

Zaroon went quiet for a second, then he took a deep breath and started playing with the tips of her hair. She was engrossed in the movie, but for Zaroon, the movie was long forgotten. He had better things to focus on.

Like every day, Jannat fell asleep soon. Zaron tried to get up, but she only shifted and hid her face in his neck, her arms were placed around his middle. " I will move away after some time " Zaroon kept telling himself, but soon sleep took over. He didn't got the chance to go to his room. It was the first night, they slept on the same bed.
