Kayan

My whole family gathered at my place and ordered takeout

From chinese to whatever the hell those were called to Pakistani dishes

All were there

And now they were all sitting in the living room and chatting away with Amyrah who had arrived a moment ago while I was in my room, getting ready

Allah knows what they were talking about

I wore my signature white tees and black sweats with black hoodie before setting my hair was inhaling a deep breath

You can do this!

I had told myself that millions of times and I always managed to do it

But now, I am not sure

I heard my mother's distant calling and knew she's looking for me

I wore my socks and walked out of my room downstairs to where the rest were

I noticed Karman, sitting on one couch on between Sahl and Safwah, the twins and talking to Amyrah, who was confused in between the twins

Kulthum set beside her and my mother was somewhere around the house while Abba set with Yaz, discussing something

"As salaamu alaikum" I made myself known

As usual my siblings muttered their replies and continued talking while Amyrah smile at me

"How's you?" I asked her, taking a seat in front of her and she shrugged

"Your brothers are keeping me entertained" she said and I chuckled leaning on the couch

"I am pretty entertaining" said Sahl and Safwah laughed

"Sure, leave the whole ordeal of becoming a lawyer and go into comedy" Remarked Safwah and the other twin began laughing hysterically

How am I related to them again?

"You are doing law?" Asked Amyrah, interested

Hmmm

I folded my arms over my chest and listened as she began conversing about law and history and what not with Sahl

Each statement of hers was accompanied by an unique expression

That amused me

"So Bhai, how much did we, well you, collect for the orphanage?" Asked Kulthum, sitting down beside Amyrah

Again

Where she went was what I did not know

"I don't know, Yaz?" I asked him and he snapped away from his conversation with Abba and answered me

"About a 200 thousand or so." He replied smiling brightly and I nodded

"There you go" I grinned and that's when my mother enetered the living room with snacks

Immediately we all dived for it

Food in my house meant war. The fastest gets the most while the slowest gets the least
