Thahani on the other hand is a simple, timid and a shy girl, with always a smile on her face, peaceful and loving. Even in school Maya is the protective type to her sister and so many of the students dread picking on Thahani.

There was a time when Maya and Thahani were in primary 3 in the primary school named spring nusery and primary school, Maya of 7 years was in primary 3 orange and Thahani of 6 was in Primary 3 green, it was on a Friday and all students were playing around as a normal friday routine that is after two first periods of lesson, Maya whose long hair was in a two french plaits and in the school uniform, then black pure leather booths, black rolex kids wrist watch and her class mates were in one of the playgrounds, she was on a two seater swing, each seats facing eachother, her class mates were around her waiting to be picked by her to swing for some minutes with her (depending on the rate of like she has for you), to them it was an honour to be chosen to swing by her, "Maya please choose me" said a boy who happens to be their class captain, in a pleading tone, "no, you called my father's name when you were giving us back our social studies notebook" she said coldly and she choose another person.

They have being like that for almost 30 minutes when Thahani came up towards her crying, "stop the swing" Maya shouted on sighting her sister in tears, the rest (delight fully and respectfully) gathered and stopped the swing, she came down and met with Thahani, "who" she asked, "a boy in primary 4 blue collected my wrist watch" cried Thahani, "after that, he even slapped her" said one of the girls that came with Thahani, ofcoz to them it was like an Honour to report every details to Maya, "and he even insulted her in vernacular" said another boy, "which of the wristwatch" asked Maya heatedly, "the purple Barbie wristwatch we bought in Dubai" said Thahani as she now whimpers, "nobody should swing till i return (believe me, no one there will dare)" she shouted and turned to her sister "take me to the bull",
"There he is in front of the class, the one with the short trouser among them" said Thahani as they came out of the playing ground with some of there mates, pointing to a chubby boy in a group of five boys upstairs infront of primary 4 blue, they went upstairs and to the boys, "give it back" she said directly, "what" he inquired taken aback, "the wrist watch you collected from my sister" she added angrily, "i won't give it back" he said coldly, "am warning you" she said coming closer to him, "no" he said, she suddenly used all her strenght and pushed him backwards, he fell on the corridor and she immediately grabbed the wash hand basin from it's stand (every class in spring has it), and poured the water on him, and before he finished dealing with the shock she checked his pockets and found the wrist watch and in his right side pocket, she then examined the watch and then gave him a slap and said, "that's for slapping her" with that she came up and pulled her sister downstairs through the groups of watching students.
