4 Chapter 3

Sheroze's POV:

I stretched my hands and rubbed my eyes which had been sore from the amount of sleep I had last night. Rays of sunlight entering the room through curtains. I checked the time on my mobile and it was 8 in the morning. I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I picked up my white tees and blue denims and headed for the shower. As I went down after showering, the rich smell entered my nostrils making my stomach grumble from hunger.

"Assalam o Alaikum Phuppo , whatcha making ?"

"Walikum Assalam beta, I'm making parathas for breakfast," Phuppo answered

"Oh wow! It has been so long since I last had a desi breakfast."

"Aww come you must be starving. You start eating I'll call Hoor. That girl is so lazy I have no clue what she will do in SUSRAAL.

"Susraal? Is that a place in Karachi?" I asked

Phuppo laughed for a while then poked my hair and said:

"It's husband's house where your in-laws live"

"Oh.."

That's when she entered...

This time in different pyjamas, a ponytail and that same funny face she has. She walked as if she was hungover, I get it. She's not a morning person, but then she's all grumpy at night too so she's not a night person either. Maybe she's just a PERSON.

"Salam Ammi" she said dully.

"Walaikum Assalam beta, here is your paratha." said Phuppo pitting the plate in front of her.

She grabbed the plate and started eating, I so wanted to make conversation but nah why should I.. she's got attitude more than (insert anything you think is in a lot). Who she thinks she is anyway?

Phuppo also bought mix pickle which I haven't tried since my last visit I barely even remember the taste...I love the taste of that pickle I was licking the leftover of pickle from my fingers that's when she interrupted me by her squeaky voice.

"Why don't you lick the whole plate with your gigantic tongue??"I was about to give an instant reply that's when Phuppo brought more parathas and you know I can't leave my food for some PERSON.

I started eating without eye contacting her because I really don't wanna see her gorilla eyes.

I didn't knew I finished two parathas! Mayn I am fast at eating. It was 9 am and I was done with my breakfast. As I was standing from my seat she took some pickle in her hand and sprinkled it on my T-shirt. And licked the leftovers on her hand and said,"Oh I'm so sorry Mr.Alien for commenting on your behaviour! This really is delicious right?"

I grabbed the tissue and started wiping it.. she really doesn't know anything about my anger."Awww baby is angry. I wonder why is he turning red like a monkey"

"Well such a pity on you. You don't even know the colour of animals like these things are basic right?" I replied. She rolled her eyes while murmuring, and went to her room closing the door loudly.

I went to the kitchen and there was Phuppo sitting beside the fridge and talking on the cell phone. She told me with action that it was my mom on the phone and asked if I wanted to talk to her. I nodded as I was missing her already. I am a proud Mama's boy, Phuppo handed over the phone to me.

"Assalamoalikum Amma!" I greeted her with a big smile on my face.

"Walaikum Assalam beta how are you? How is it going? Are you enjoying? How was the flight? Did you eat breakfast? We are missing you so much. Have you met Asif yet?"My mom and her questions are like mount Everest, they never end!

"Woah Ammi slow down, I'm fine Alhamdulillah, Yeah I just had my breakfast and yeah why didn't you made parathas for me? I said in a whiny childlike tone. "I'm gonna meet Asif today at afternoon but yeah he was the one who picked me from the Airport, and I also miss you guys so much. How's Abba doing??"

"Haye it's so silent in the house after you left! Abba is good, I didn't know that you would like parathas that much...I'll hang up now, take care. Give my regards to everyone and to Asif too."

"Allah Hafiz!" as I was ending the call mom shouted on the phone that, "Beta I forgot, I also wanted to talk to Hoorain, give her the phone" she commanded.

For a second my mind was confused who is Hoorain, then I realized HOOR is HOORAIN...Oh! I thought her name is Hoor.

"Okay wait a second Ammi." I walked upstairs and I was going towards her room, there was music playing loudly not that much but the voice could only have listened on that floor.

I knocked several times but there was no response. The song was ''Shape of you" by Ed Sheeran I also like that song so I was slowly tapping my feet... I knocked again, there was no response. Without thinking anything, I opened the door slightly and there she was jumping on the bed her hairs were now falling through her shoulders, and as she was jumping, they were also moving. She had a big smile on her face and a slight dimple I never saw her smiling since I came here.

Mom shouted again from the phone

"What's taking so long?"She asked.

"Um nothing here you go talk to her."

I closed the slightly opened door and knocked again but this time a little louder

She opened the door with a solemn face and raised an eyebrow in the way of asking "What are you doing here?"

I handed her the phone, "Ammi wants to talk to you."

"Hm." she replied and I handed over the phone by grabbing it from my index finger and thumb as if I was poisoned.

She rolled her eyes again as if she would not roll her eyes then she would die.I don't know what's her problem either she is too crazy to think about others or she is .. urgh I don't care however she is.

I went to my room and talked to Asif and decided the venue where to meet.

Hoorain's POV:

After breakfast, I went to my room and slumped on my couch. I played shape of you in my mob and started to dance crazily. My little dancing session was disturbed by that chimpanzee. He handed me amma's mob telling that Mami wanna talk to me."Assalam o alaikum Mami! How are you?"

" Walikum Assalam beta I'm good Alhamdulillah. You tell " Mami replied.

"I'm great as always. How's Mamu?.tell him that I'm angry that you guys didn't come!"

" Haha ok I'll tell him. Well is Shazzy bothering you? " She asked playfully.

"He that chimp... I mean Shazzy urgh Mami he is Soo annoying I sometimes think that how is he your son. You are so sweet and him! He is grumpy "

"Ahha well I'm not amazed by hearing this from your mouth. You guys never get along. I'll give him a good scolding that don't bother my little girl" She said sweetly.

"Yes Mami you know Na I'm too sweet and innocent "

"Yeah yeah I know that very well," She laughed.

"Chalo beta will talk to u later I have to cook food for dinner. Allah Hafiz."

"Allah Hafiz Mami love you." with that I ended the call/

I was in the mood of listening songs again but now I wasn't feeling to jump or bounce because I lost 50% of my energy is bouncing so I decided to do some makeup. As in makeup I only have to sit so yeah I did some makeup. Basically I don't do much makeup. When going to a party I put on some BB cream and liner and lipstick... I mean I'm beautiful without makeup.*laughs awkwardly*

I was done and I had full makeup face. I took some pictures and sent it to Anum. I placed my phone on the bed and I went downstairs to show mom my hidden skills."Amma check this out isn't your daughter looking like a model?"I exclaimed posing like a vogue model.

"Beta what have you done to your face," she said

"Amma this makeup is trending these days," I informed.

I heard footsteps on the stairs and it was a chimp. Omg no this is so embarrassing.

"Okay Phuppo I'm ..oh wait a minute I didn't tell you to bake some cake Mami did I ?? But there is a cake face standing in front me. Your face was already bad why did you made it worse??" He insulted me. There is no way I'm gonna stand like that.

Mr. chimpanzee you don't know that you invited trouble for yourself.

*Evil laughs*
