Amir's POV

"Amira, the food Mash 'allah Mash'allah it's delicious" My mom says and Amira plants a smile. her eyes land on me and she looks away seeing me stare at her. What is she hiding. Is this just some phase she's going through of pregnancy? Should I be asking Zayn this?

Everyone finished eating and the ladies cleaned up after.

"mama! he's takin everyfin!" Saima shouts angrily. God as if Amira isn't stressed enough.

"Saima come here." I say and she looks at me squinting her eyes.

"baba! this boy is takin everyfin! He's takin my toys my seats my food why he not get his own food huh? " She yells and I grab her arm.

"STOP. That's enough Saima. He's our family. Don't say things like that again. Am I clear?" I say strictly.

she bites her lip and stares and then nods.

"Good. Rehan come with me." I say lifting him up.

"mama!!! hes takin daddy!" She yells.

-

"Gosh. Your daughter yells like a mad woman." Khaled says coming in.

"Yeah I know. She's jealous of your son."

"really?"

"Yeah, man. She's getting annoying. "

"Spoiled her too much."

"She's the only child. What do you expect."

"I don't know. Anyway. Zayn's wedding is coming up."

"Oh yeah I know."

"Wait, you know him?"

"Not well but I've met him before. But Rabya knows his fiance. Well not closely but some way. I don't know."

"I see. "

"What's up with you. Something wrong?"

"No, just I don't know man."

"Go on. Tell your big brother ." He says and we laugh.

"What was that. we're not in elementary anymore." I say laughing.

"It was fun. Go on tell me."

"I don't know, Amira's being weird. Is it like a phase woman go through? It seems really really harsh."

"What do you mean weird."

"I dunno temper."

"Well mood swings are quite common."

"Yeah but I dunno."

"Have you talked to her?"

"Yes twice but I'm afraid if I ask again she'll murder me.I don't what the hell is wrong with her."

"Hey, relax. She's probably just stressed."

"Why? She's suppose to be stress free!" I say and he laughs.

"Dude you sound so stupid asking that."Khaled says bursting out into laughter.

"I don't know. You think it's because Sanam's here?"

"I don't think so. she was here before you guys were pretty much making her feel uncomfortable.but she was fine right?"

"I don't know."

The door opens and Amira walks in with Saima.

"What are you doing. Don't pick her up in this condition." I say getting up and taking Saima who was asleep.
