THE NANNY AFFAIR

I felt an unusual peace, seeing them (Sara and Riya) in one piece, the atmosphere seems to change to a point I wouldn’t mind staying like this for a little longer.

But Riya was so dumbfounded to an extent, pushed me back to my senses, maintaining her same look at me.

“Salem!!! Are you okay!” She copies back her same words to me, fiddling to hear my comeback.

A weak smile was spotted on my face, hence I varied and walked back to my room, in a headcount of three out of five, Riya chased me and walked into my room.

She attempted to no stone unturned to find out the weird demeanor I just demonstrated not quite long ago.

“Tell me what’s going on! Or else you will be sorry” Riya threatened to get the truth from me.

I finally got over the shock and attained my attention to her, I know how shaken she was seeing me I seeing me in such a manner, but reeling in the truth was no way, the best option for me, so I told a white lie.

“Do you want to know something Riya?” I waited for her response but continued talking, after seeing the gaze in her eyes.

“I know you must be shocked, but I felt it was time to tell me you the truth”

(I veered two steps closer and said), “I love you miss Riya!!! I do know that saying this now, isn’t going to change the way I treated you in the past but I was trying not to fall for you, I am sorry”.

The startled look on her face seemed to have tripled, she veers back to leave rather tripped over on a stool and fell.

“Riya!! Are you okay?” In attempts to reel in a helping hand, she pushed it away, got up from the ground, and walked away without altering a single word to me.

To her, I must be a confused soul, and I don’t blame her at all, I, Andres Khan, seems to have one destination for now and it’s making sure that everyone close to my heart is an advert from danger, no matter what kind of danger it is, it’s best they be far away from it.

(The night drifted away, hurling in the next morning).

I woke up feeling hazy, it must be as a result of the terrifying dream I had last night, not quite long the doors to my room was pushed open, Riya walks in wearing a red flowering pattern cloth, she signaled the few of the maid to bring in the breakfast prepared by her.

“What is this?”I said repaying her eyes over to me, she shoots a warm smile and said, good morning Salem, today I felt like preparing dinner for the whole family, so here’s yours”.

I veered and took notoriety of the breakfast brought in by her, but what I was yet to understand is, why?”.

“Hmm!! Riya are you feeling okay today?” I asked, rather she walked closer, poke her head out, and said, “I am fine, ever since you confessed your feeling to me, yesterday!!! You have no idea how happy I am seeing that, my love has finally been reciprocated”.

I donned a startled look on my face, what the heck is Riya saying, what did I even say to her? Because I don’t recall anything. (That’s my head talking).

After a while, I got dressed and strolled over to the living room, everyone varied and watched me, something feels wrong, and for some reason, Riya’s name is written over itThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
