Rose in the desert(MAFIA ROMANCE)

chapter 22

Next day, Chashman was very uncomfortable during the breakfast, she barely lifted her eyes from the food. Miraan didnt force her to interact or act normal so soon. 

She went to dada saeen's room afterwards, where she spent the time talking to him, getting to know about the family. chashman had got to know through their chats that Dada saeen kept a special place in his heart for miraan. The adoration, the pride got so clear in his voice, when he talked about miraan . 

Chashman came out of Dada saeen's room around 11 am, usually she would have headed towards her room, but today, she went to the living room.She saw Miraan's mother and aunt sitting there as she stopped at a distance from them. 

Miraan's mother's eyes fell on her. " chashman! come here " she said with a smile, she would have been a bit hesitant about talking to her, but last night's encounter gave her the courage.

chashman moved towards them reluctantly." sit here " she said patting the seat beside her on the sofa. Chashman sat down as her eyes fell on the table in front of them. There were a lot of clothes placed there. 

" new designs came, choose what you like. There are a lot of ajrak prints( the traditional designs of sindh ) also "Miraan's mother said with a smile. 

" i - i dont need new clothes right now, i have enough " chashman said hesitantly. A denial was a lot more easier when she didnt want to care about them. But right now, she felt a bit hesitant. 

" its not about need, choose what you like, i will have it made for you " Miraan's mother said showing her some pieces .Aiza( Daem's 2nd wife ) was watching everything with a smile on her face. 

Chashman's eyes stopped on a black maroon shawl. it was very beautiful. " its beautiful, isnt it ?" Miraan's mother asked as she placed the shawl on Chashman's shoulder. the black and maroon color was making her skin look even more milky.

"yes, but... " chashman started, " consider it a first gift from me " miraan's mother cut through.

Chashman nodded, feeling a bit awkward.

" what would you like to eat? I dont know your favorites, let me cook something of your choice today " Miraan's mother said adoringly. 

"biryani ?" chashman said after thinking for a bit, a smile came on Miraan's mother's face. 

" which one? lahori style or sindhi?" she asked.

" Sindhi...i like potatoes in my biryani" chashman said with a small smile. She hadn't eaten Sindhi biryani here yet, she was excited to know if there would be any difference in taste. 

"okay " Miraan's mother said getting up .

Chashman also went with her to the kitchen , she had noticed Aiza sitting there, but didnt care much about it. she didn't know, how she felt about her yet.

Chashman's day went very well. She was a lot more approachable for the people in haveli with the smile on her face. 

In the evening, Miraan saw her in the study, she had a book in her hand. His mother had told him about the change in chashman and he felt happy that she was giving them a chance. 

" enjoyed your day ?" he asked coming right behind her. 

chashman jumped in her place. " you scared me!!" she glared at him.

Miraan chuckled," so....?" miraan prompted. 

" it was good" chashman said looking away .

" nice to here. would you like to go for looking around ?" miraan asked.

"okay... " chashman said. 

" go,get your shawl " miraan said , they headed out in Miraan's sports car. He didn't let any guard come with him as they were going to stay in their area, so there was so apparent harm. 

Chashman enjoyed the tour as Miraan kept telling her about places, their specialty etc.

They returned just before dinner, the dinner was eaten in a peaceful environment. Chashman called amna before falling into a deep peaceful sleep.
