"Is that all?" Zara asked as she wrote the last thing Amna told her.

I looked down at my phone to see the time, smiling at the fact that I can now call su mama anytime I want.

Ya Khalifa has no idea how much he has helped me, I remember Amna's reaction when I showed her the phone, she was so happy for me it was almost amusing.

"Yeah, oh also shepard's pie, he loves Shepard's Pie, that's his favorite" Amna replied.

"Ok" Zara said as she wrote it down in her little book.

You must have figured out what was happening by now.

Zara was making a list of Ya Muhammad's favorite food and well Amna was being a good sport and helping out.

"Ok so what are his favorite things or people? Anything?" She asked.

Oh Gosh, we are never getting out of here. 

I looked up at the oven to see if the cupcakes are done but they looked like they still needed time.

So I had no choice but to listen to them.

"Um well he loves his children...obviously" Amna chuckled "he loves working, he's basically a workaholic, if he's not working or with the children then he's horse riding, so he loves his kids, horse riding and his job."

As simple as that was she still wrote it down.

"Horse riding and job" she whispered slowly as she quickly scribbled it down.

"Ok Amna! Thank you, where is he again?" She asked.

"The other building in the compound" she said.

Before Amna could close her mouth she dashed off.

"No you can't just go-.."

The door to the kitchen closed with a loud bang.

"He is going to be PISSED" she said pointing at the door.

Immediately she said that the timer on the oven dinged.

I clapped my hands a little and Amna chuckled at me "you're cute"

I put on the oven mitts and I brought the tray out and I placed it on the kitchen island.

The door opened and a small head pushed its head to peep.

"Alim!" I said excitedly.

"Aunty Manal!" He giggled.

He rushed to me and I picked him up

"How are you?" I said

We saw each other twenty minutes ago.

"Fine" he replied his eyes set on the cupcakes.

I squinted my eyes at him, so this is what brought him, not that he misses me.

Ouch.

I smiled.

"You have to wait for it yayi sanyi, da zafi" I told him (to cold down, it's hot)

He nodded.

I kept him on my hip as he laid his head on my shoulder patiently waiting for them to cool.

"Cupcakes!" Alina came rushing in to grab them.

"Alina! They're still hot" Amna said.

She stopped dead in her tracks.

"Oh."

"Cupcakes na ji an che?" Ya Khalifa said coming into the kitchen.
(Did I hear cupcakes?)

"Go away!" Amna said.
