Rikza's POV:

We arrived to Aunty's home after 3 hours of long travelling from Hyderabad to Karachi. It was a tiring journey though.

We reached at 11:30 AM, so I decided to take a nap.
But Muffin will never let me do that. That girl!

She was chattering like today was the first day she was speaking.
Uff.. This girl gets on my nerves sometimes. So annoying!

"Muffin, will you please let me sleep for awhile?" I asked her.
She made an angry face and stomped her feet and left the room.

I screamed in a high pitched voice, such that she could listen me to wake me up for salah and not to forget me at feast. Actually lunch. Aunty had prepared my favourite dishes, so it's basically a feast for me.

I recalled how mommy cried hugging aunty and I was really anxious about her.

I was exhausted, so fell asleep and woke up by muffin's irritating gestures. I mean she was shaking me constantly and was blabbering something trying to annoy me. Aish!

I woke up totally frustrated,
"What's your problem pagal?"
I asked to which she smiled evilly and replied,

"Madam, you told me to wake you up for salah. So it's time for Salah behna".

I got up from the bed, did Wadu (ablution) and was about to start my salah when muffin interrupted.

"Now what?" I asked slightly glaring at her to which she replied grinning sheepishly.
"I waited for you my dear, so let's pray together".

I was glad to have such a cute sissy. Well I didn't said this in front of her,because she'll be feeling proud and will annoy me willingly.

We prayed together and headed towards the dining room to have yummilicious (yummy+delicious) lunch,actually feast.

I greeted my uncle,
"Assalamu Alaikum uncle" He smiled and nodded his head as an answer.

I walked into the kitchen to checkout the dishes which were smelling so splendid.

I spotted Haya Aapi preparing sweet dish.I thought of helping her so asked her,
"Aapi, How can I help you?"
She replied smilingly,
"No need of any help dear, you just go and rest"

That's not fair. She's treating me like I'm a guest here while honestly I'm NOT. I know that she won't let me do anything now, so I came back.

After having lunch, me and muffin started chit-chatting. Suddenly she remembered something. I could see her face lit-up, when she asked me whether I remember Aabiya.

It took me a second to recall the familiar name.
"Yeah, the girl from your neighborhood?" I answered her more like a question to which she nodded her head in agreement.

She started ranting about their friendship which was followed by praising That great girl named Aabiya.
Is she fan girling on her?

I was seriously getting bored so unfortunately I had to stop her from continuing the story of THEIR friendship. She never noticed my response as I rolled my eyes.

'Muffu' we heard a call from Aunty. "Aayi Ammi" (coming mom) she replied as she descended downstairs.

She came back a few seconds later to inform me that her 'so-called' bestie Aabiya and her mom has come to visit us and so I need to come down to greet them.
