Jaan

Part 7- Fantasy

Aslan's POV.

"I repeat the rules, no harm to women and children and if I must repeat myself—you will have to pay the consequences, am I clear on that?" My father warned in his dominant voice.

"Yes sir!" everyone replied at the same time.

He was having a meeting with the members of the mafia and as always he asked me to join and listen because soon I will be taking over his position and I need to be taking notes.

But, today I wasn't able to focus and listen at all. My mind was constantly thinking about her. And about the way she spoke to me.

Stop ordering her? She's tired of it? Is it my f*cking fault that I have her running in my mind all day long?

I don't know what kind of magic trick she pulled on me but it is surely working. Everything she does and says has an effect on me.

"Dismissed" everyone got up to leave the room. The meeting was over. I was lost in my thoughts still sat when my dad snapped his finger at me to wake me up.

"What's wrong son? Is something bothering you?" he asked me.

"Nothing" I got up to leave when he stopped me.

"Do you want to apply for college?" he asked me suddenly.

"For what?"

"For yourself, what else?" he said.

"I'll see," I said before walking out. At first, all I wanted to do was finish high school and take over my father's position. But now, my brain is in full confusion.

I see her working hard and enjoying the little moments of her life and I feel like doing the same and sometimes I have this urge to...be a part of it. I feel the need to go to the same college as her now. What is wrong with me for real?

I need to figure out what I have going on. Should I distance myself from her or something? Will I stop thinking about her then?

I guess I'll have to give it a try.

Adalina's POV.

Did Allah finally answer my prayer?!

I am beyond happy! He finally stopped!

It's been three days and Aslan did not come to get his lunch or homework from me and I'm feeling amazing.

Is it because I yelled at him? Did it work? Did he finally understand how annoying and mean he was?! I'm not sure what changed his mind but I'm all for it!!

"Why are you smiling like a fool?" Ayla asked me.

"Because we're finally free!" I exclaimed.

"I'm not trying to ruin your happiness but I think something is fishy" she was serious.

"You just ruined it—why would you say that?" I asked.

"Because, Adalina why would he stop bothering you now? Just because you yelled at him? He doesn't take shit from anyone why would he suddenly give up like that—even Miran stopped coming to see us...don't you find it weird?" Now, I was doubting it.

"Wait, you care about Miran?...oh my god do you like him?!" I teased her.

"No I don't!!" she said in defence.

"Are you sure?"I smirked.

"Stop it! It's not funny!" she was blushing.

I suddenly received a notification and checked my phone. It was from an unknown number.
