"Bhai mano lye kia laye?" Mahnoor asked Ali when he sat there in the lounge with them. He had arrived with Ahil.

(Bhai what did you bring for mano?)

"Kch b nai laya. Tum dono roz khaty rehty ho mamu se le kar, phr main kiu laun?" Ahil who was standing at the door texting on the phone, unconsciously compared Momal's reaction to the same question asked by meerub to Ali's reaction. How different it was! But this was the actual sibling that existed among every sibling almost. Momal was just a little different and kind of possessive and protective of Meerub.

(I didn't bring anything. You both eat everyday from mamu, then why do I bring?)
"Mamu mano lye kia laye?" Mahnoor turned her attention to her mamu who was standing there and went to him. Ahil stared at her for a few seconds.

(What did mamu bring for mano?)

"Umm, wo main apko kal duga." Ahil couldn't say no.

(That I will you tomorrow.)

"Kal Kiu?"

(Why tomorrow?)

"Time kia hua?" Ahil turned her attention towards the clock. Mahnoor gave him a big smile and turned to the clock.

(What's the time?)

"Apko pata hai ghari kia kehri hai? Wo kehri ha ye fruit khane ka time hai, gift ka time kal ha islye wo kal ayega."

(Do you know what the watch is saying? It is saying that it's time to eat fruits, the time for gift is tomorrow so it will come tomorrow.)

"Main fruit khau?" Mahnoor asked again. Ahil nodded his head.

(Do I eat fruit?)

Mahnoor ran inside to her Mama's room to tell her what the clock was saying and what her mamu said. Ahil had developed this way of telling them what to do at a particular time by saying that it was the clock saying that. Mahnoor would often ask him what was the clock asking mano to do?!

But it didn't work on Ali. He was not a kid anymore and Ahil mamu can't make him fool like Umair and Mahnoor. He was grown up. Though if you ask him what he would want to be when he's an adult, he'd reply with spiderman. But he was not a kid anymore.

Minha picked a biscuit and started eating. This was her fifth biscuit in the past 6 minutes but she was still on the question where she was when Fahad had left. Zartasha was busy on her mobile. Yumna and Hadeed were sitting and talking.

"Ye wala pehnu ya ye?" Yumna showed Hadeed pictures of her 2 dresses to ask what to wear at Hoor's mehndi. Hadeed took her phone and zoomed in on the picture to check the dress.

(Do I wear this or this?)

"Ye wala zyada pyara lag raha hai, but hairstyle dusry wale ka." Hadeed swiped to see the second photo again.

(This one looks more pretty, but the hairstyle of this one.)

"Han I will braid them for mehendi with flowers in it, aur sth maine dupatta thora heavy banaya so to cover my hair."

(Yes....and with it my dupatta is heavy so...)

"Aur main kesy dekhuga?" Hadeed asked her. They wouldn't be meeting at each other's house, it would be a public place if it was in the hall. He wasn't sure.

"Main pins k sth ni lagati, I take it like chadar. I can easily remove it. Aur pins ke sath b ho to utarna konsa na mumkin hai. Waise bhi mehendi me females' section separate hoga, you men are not allowed sorry."
