Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 638: Unrealistically Real

It was nearing another week, twenty days.

Noor didn't speak with others about what was going on with her. Hence her parents had no idea. Naira thought Arsh would be in contact with Noor over a call so she didn't feel anything fishy.

Whenever Noor felt like she couldn't manage, she would reach Aria and be with her. Even Alan was there to keep both ladies company.

In Skyline, Alan helped sleepy Noor lay on the couch. Misunderstanding him as Arsh, she mumbled she closed her eyes, "You are back."

Aria covered Noor with the throw-over and sighed. Due to Noor, Aria was a bit strong so that Noor doesn't panic thinking something might have happened to Arsh. Aria was restless every time so she was able to hold herself back from thinking negatively. Alan never let her be pessimistic either.

Alan wrapped his hand around his wife's shoulder watching Noor. In the assumption of Arsh was back, her deep frowns settled, and peacefully went into slumber after being awake the whole night.

His concern was his wife. In the past, his wife was worried for Snow daily, now and then about Arsh. Snow was settling her life but the son of them was putting her in panic. Now her worry doubles with Noor and their love life. 

"I will talk to Nemo." He declared. He knew Aria was holding herself to be supportive of Arsh, hiding her displeasure. She was also thinking of speaking with Arsh for Noor. He felt something needs to be said in his way for Arsh to be serious about.

Aria tilted her head with a new tension ready to bubble in her mind. Alan was quick to clear it out, "Relax, I won't ask him to leave his job." But he will make Arsh take an appropriate decision.

Aria hummed, hugging her husband. She propped her head and grinned, "You are best." He never made her worry and always stayed by her.

"I know." He admired himself seeing her happy. Well, he also knew she was trying to keep her distracted so that she doesn't start looking for Arsh to know his location. He and Aria could easily hack some systems and get the location but if they were caught, Arsh would be in trouble.

Alan returned to Morgan Industries once he made sure his wife was alright. Aria worked in her office without making noise so that Noor could have some good rest.

Finn called her before the work off time. [Alia Nemo is here.]

Like a heavy stone lifted off her chest, Aria breathed in relief. Since Finn was in the military before, their work nature was similar so Arsh often preferred to visit Finn after his mission. Finn would help him alleviate the tension, help him with physiotherapy, medical assistance and inform Aria about his arrival.

Aria asked back before rejoicing, "Is he hurt?"

There was a pause before Finn revealed, [Kind of. His back.] He didn't lie even though Arsh asks him to keep it hidden from Aria. He quickly assures Aria before she panics and rushes out, [Don't worry, it's not deep. He will recover soon.]

Aria didn't know if she should be happy the wounds aren't deep or sad that he has to go through the pain. Mother's heart always aches to see her kids hurt.

"Thank you, Finn. We trouble you every time." She didn't apologize having no wish to hear an earful of scoldings.

Finn chuckled, "At Least Nemo makes me feel like a father. My dumbass son doesn't bother to say anything."

Aria chuckled hearing him scolding his elder son whose life was military. She often thought how Rose stays calm with him hardly coming home. 

Aria passed the information to Arsh. "After his nap, Ask him to visit Noor first. She is asleep in my office right now." 

Priorities have to change with new relationships. Aria believed Arsh should keep Noor first, before her.

The friends spoke for some time before hanging up the call. Aria was glad Noor would be fine after today. But this was going to put a huge change between the couple. She could only hope it to be on the good side.

----

At six in the evening,

Noor stretched herself. She had thought it would be a small nap but slept well for five hours without disturbance.

Opening her eyes to dim lights, she jerked up thinking Aria must be waiting for her. But found none on the desk. She felt calm breathing in the room, she turned to her right behind her and saw a young man sitting on the armchair, covering his eyes with his forearm, stretching his long legs on the center table.

She could feel Arsh was sleeping. But, 'Am I dreaming?' She doubted. Getting off the couch, she went closer to Arsh and watched him calmly breathing. He looked unrealistically real. It wasn't enough for her to relax. She gently poked his arm, she again felt it real but hard to believe.

Strongly believing it was just a dream, She sat at the corner of the table and tried to think, 'Young Master will wake up now.' She thought her dream might listen to her words and Arsh would wake up.

But he didn't wake up.

She started pacing in the room thinking how to confirm Arsh was truly present, it wasn't a dream and she wasn't sleeping. She didn't want to wake up with a dejection.

If Arsh had returned before Aria left, Noor thought Aria would have surely woken her up. Aria wouldn't leave her alone in the office, right? With such questions, she wasn't ready to believe her sight.

Arsh woke up listening to continuous knocks of her heels. He saw her chewing her lips, thinking about something very deeply. He checked the time as he yawned, he hadn't slept for two days so he was exhausted and sleepy.

"Noor" He called her as he stood up.

Noor paused, hearing his deep voice that had a touch of grogginess. She had missed his voice calling her. She turned to him. 

Noor scratched her head. She had thought of a lot of ways to scold him, complain to him about himself, and also confess to him she missed him. But standing in confusion, all she was thinking was how to confirm he was real.

She pinched herself but didn't feel the pain as her focus was on Arsh who was yawning and walking up to her. Hence she was confused if she should pinch herself or Arsh.

'If he is real, I could just ask him,' She naively thought.

When he went closer, Noor subconsciously lifted her arms to hug him as she took a step closer. 

Arsh was surprised at first, then gladly obliged her. Warmly wrapped in his arms, Noor blinked in a daze. The hug felt so real.
