#Chapter44
Mahnoor's POV:
'Become water when you're dealing with fire'
Ami used to say these words when Papa got angry. She never talked back to him and just listens to his complaints and apologizes even if it wasn't her fault. But when Papa's anger once cooled down, then she'd tell him where he was wrong and she continues to tease him until he accepts defeat and apologizes.
Will it help me if I try???
I took a deep breath and look into his eyes, to be honest, I wasn't listening to a single word he said. I don't have to. His eyes can tell me everything. He was jealous and even if I try to assure him that I avoided him because I was nervous, he would not believe. So I kept quiet and reach for his hand on the back of my neck. Closing my eyes, I put my hand on his and waited for him to let out his anger.
Can you hear my unspoken words, Moosa...?
