SHIFA SALEEM

"I have something to confess Shiff." He states making me glance over at him again. "Yes...what is it?" I inquire.

"I don't know if i should really tell you this right now....but i have to." He says straightening himself.

My curious hits me soo hard. "No matter what, I'll listen to you. Go ahead." I state as i see him coming closer to me. Him standing right infront of me, he plops his head on my left shoulder.

"I'm glad i made you mine, my halal little mouse!!" I shudder hearing this. Shiver runs down my spine. "W-What are y-you talking about?" I inquire.

"I-I wanted to confess this before marriage but...i was afraid that you would decline our relationship because of this-" I cut him off stating "Who told i would do that?"

He raises his head from my shoulder, our eyes locked onto each other. "B-But i didn't think it was you...it just doesn't make sense....or does it...?" I question myself.

I was just too stunned to meet his eyes. But his eyes was only fixed on me, with a nervous state. "I-I know it doesn't, but just because of my obsession towards you-" He pauses after saying the last sentence.

I lock my eyes with him again as a confused expression takes over me. "H-How do you know all these hauting adeline, little mouse thing? Do you perhaps read?" I direct the question. But unknowingly i raise my voice "Did you read every chapters???"

I don't know why i blurted out this sudden question. Probably because of...embarrassment knowing he read that story?

"I read that story because of you." He says as i frown still confused. "Remember that one day you were reading the story in the class during our university days and i passed by you?" He questions.

A flashback of our uni days flashes back where i was worried sick, if he saw me reading that kinda story. It hits me so hard to realize that, back in the past when i consoled myself that he might not have read the story. But it turns out he did peek up my phone back then.

"I-I actually didn't mean to peek up your phone back then. I was just curious why you were smiling and blushing staring at your phone. That's why i passed across you and my eyes landed on the title. Years later when i really wanted to make you mine, Ishan helped with the stalking device and he added many codes which would not reveal my identity and he secured it. I know I'm late telling you about this, b-but shifa hear me out."

He continues; "I-I wanted to know you better, i wanted to know what you preferred, I wanted to match with your vibe because you are a mysterious girl. I wanted to stand right here infront of you knowing who you actually are. Lastly, I wanted to make you feel better knowing that i already know about your preference in the books. So that i can make you realise you can really recreate all those scenes without any embarrassment." He explained.

The words which came out of his mouth right now only made me speechless. I can't let him feel nervous just because of this, i know it was not really a good think to stalk me,

but.....i liked it. So it doesn't count right..

It really doesn't count and he didn't give me any bad vibes while stalking or texting me.

Even though the stalker did get on my nerves sometimes, the person didn't cross the boundary telling it's gonna be a halal haunting adeline version.

And to know that very-person is not just anyone but Shahid, the man who i married to.....he did work hard to achieve it and he did keep his word, 'halal version of haunting adeline.'
