Chapter 1: welcome home Balira

"I'm so excited, it's been Soo long since I've seen her" Mrs. Bashar was smiling brightly in excitement and anticipation to see her daughter." hopefully she still remembers our faces," xhara said rolling her eyes. Mr. Bashar just silently watched his excited wife." she's spent so much time in the UK, I hope she hasn't changed much" said Jamal the cool and eerie older brother, "oh hogwash, Balira would never change" Said Mrs. Bashar pouting," my Balira would never let Western culture engulf her"

The family all then became quiet because the person they were waiting for had arrived. "Ummah" Balira shouted excitedly when she saw her mom for the first time in so many years."Balira" her mom ran towards her to give her a great big hug. Jamal who was the least bit excited, widened his eyes when he saw who his mom was hugging, "Balira" he said utterly shocked, when was the last time I saw her? he thought internally." she looks so different now, how many years had passed?. Jamal didn't believe how grown Balira had become, she looked really attractive now compared to before. "brother Jamal makes sure you don't drool she's your sister" Xhara said with a smirk teasing her brother. Jamal cleared his throat and replied "I'm not drooling, just surprised" Xhara just rolled her eyes knowing the kinda man her brother was, she knows that if Balira wasn't related to him he would surely make a move on her. Xhara decided to go say hello to her sister, leaving Jamal there still drooling."ohh sis, I've missed you soooooo much" Xhara said almost crying, "I've missed you too Xhara" Balira was so emotional seeing her family after so long." hey Jamal won't you say hello to Balira?" Mrs. Bashar said angrily. Jamal rolled his eyes and approached Balira for a friendly handshake but instead....." bro Jamal " Balira hugged him quickly and then turned to her Baba to hug him, not knowing the damage she had just done to Jamal. Jamal just stayed rooted to the ground "damn" he said softly, he then turned to his family and said"guys I'll be in the car" then he left like someone was chasing him.
