Chapter 548: Deserve

Noah and Norah frowned seeing Noor agree to Naira's ludicrous request. Noor hardly used to go out burying herself in books, almost making them worried so it was Arsh who had suggested them and asked their permission to take her out. 

Arsh was smart and responsible. Even though it was hard for Noah to trust any young man so easily when it comes to Noor, Noah and Norah had spoken to Noor who guilelessly spoke everything out with them. So they know Arsh never laid a finger on her and always maintained distance.

The trust Arsh had gained and Noor's behavior had let them permit her to go out. So as parents, they didn't want Naira to snatch away the only relaxation time of Noor.

Norah retorted right after Noor's acceptance, "Noor is going out with them. What is it got to do with you?" She wanted to hear Naira accepting she likes Arsh hence she was forcing Naira to the dead end.

Noor held her mother's hand and shook her head, "Mom, it's alright…"

"It's not." Noah's words sounded firm and unyielding. Holding her shoulders from back, he pulled her up the couch and took her to her bedroom. 

Norah helped her in-laws to their room before sitting with Naira. Norah and her mother-in-law used too little force to slap so her cheeks were slightly red whereas Naira had slapped Noor with all her might.

Handing her the cup of tea, Norah saw her avoiding to look at her, "Why are you angry at Noor? Did something happen?"

Naira didn't want to talk but leave from there. After calming down she muttered, "Why does everything I want will be taken by others?"

Norah understood that her guess was right Naira likes Arsh but she wasn't sure if there is love or anything else between Arsh and Noor. "What do you mean?" She played dumb and sipped her tea.

Naira started scratching her nails on the rims of the teacup. She wanted to cry out saying everything but she didn't. After seeing Arsh that way, she was sure Arsh behaved that way because of Noor. She couldn't believe herself she tried to malign her own younger sister.

She knows when she gets jealous, she goes out of hand but she just couldn't stop herself. Glancing at her mother, she mused, "I don't like Noor knows Arsh better than me. I don't like how everyone in the Morgan family affectionately treats Noor. If I was innocent like her, would I have got all that?"

Norah internally sighed. Every person's personality is different and it was definitely not because of Noor was innocent. "Nope. Let me try, if what you say is right, shouldn't Noor have lots of friends too? But she doesn't. You know well she can't talk to everyone easily like you. Your socializing skills are amazing whereas Noor prefers to stand away."

Keeping her cup down, Norah continued with respect to the Morgan family and friends. "While her classmates failed to be patient with her till she got along with them so she didn't get many friends except a few. Whereas the Morgan family members knew she was very reserved and they slowly pushed her to get along with them. It didn't happen overnight."

Naira let out a frustrated sigh, "I know Mom."

Norah didn't get angry, instead, she talked about Naira with respect to the current situation, "Why can't you be so close? Tell me, have ever once sat with them to talk without Snow being around? Have you ever visited them later if not meeting Arsh?"

Naira opened her lips to retort but she didn't know how to justify her actions. 'Even if I go to them, what will I talk about?'

"I don't have time to follow them around like Noor." She said what she felt right.

Norah let out a faint chuckle, 'Noor followed them around?' Nope, Noor was a girl who was studying and getting innumerable questions. She used to have many whys and what's so she used to go to them and ask each question to solve it.

Norah still remembers she had searched over the internet to respond to Noor's question, 'why is a salt crystalline solid?'

Norah had given her the internet definition that let Noor ask tens of more questions and finally, Norah had tears without knowing how to answer and Noor had cried thinking she hurt her mother.

"It's about giving time. When you never put an effort to get close to them, how can you expect them to pamper you?"

Naira as usual didn't like Norah's point of view, "So it's my mistake again? I don't understand why everything others do is right but not what I do?"

Her voice raised at the end and Norah glared at her. Norah was sitting there to talk and solve her issue so she preferred that way. 

"I am sorry, Mom." Naira lowered her head. 

Being the first child in both the families, Hanes and Wood, they spoiled Naira too much. Noor wasn't asking anything but that doesn't mean the family won't provide her well, that's the time Naira started feeling jealous which grew overtime without change.

"Everything you do isn't wrong. Learn to be happy with what you have and work hard to get what you deserve instead of going for what others have."

Noah's voice was cold and serious. He couldn't understand where they went wrong raising their kids. One was too audacious and another one was too soft. Both make them worry.

But Noah and Norah expected little too much from Naira. She stood up and ran away saying, "Why don't you guys never understand me?"

She is a girl so Noah or Norah, don't want to get too hard on her but their every try each time to make her understand, never got any satisfactory result.

Noah patted his wife's back and took her to the bedroom.

In Naira's bedroom

She walked back and forth without knowing who could understand her. The entertainment industry wasn't so good to give trustworthy friends, being haughty in the school she didn't really make any friends other than being with Arna, Ivan, and Arsh. She can't talk to Ivan or Arsh so easily hence the left out is Arna.

She dilly-dallied before dialing Arna and made some little story that could enrage her. What she wasn't expecting was Arna to call Arsh after she ends the call.
