The guy clears his throat and smiles.
"Am a neurosurgeon. I understand your uncle told me your wish. I know am capable of keeping you and your siblings happy".

"Do you even understand what they're saying?",Noor asks me then takes a seat beside her husband.
I look away from the the TV which is currently playing 'Sasural Simar Ka' and smile.
"I understand some. We watch it sometimes so I understand some but not all".
"Why don't you like me?"I ask Noor who looks at me shocked at how blunt I was probably.
"You don't like her?"aunty looks at her daughter-in-law with confusion.
"I didn't say that"Noor whispers
"Then why do you ign-"
Hamed runs down the stairs in basketball shorts and a white shirt.
"Where you going?"Usman asks him.
"Play ball? Wanna join? Ishaq isn't here"Hamed asks then he looks at me.
"Your here?".
"Yeah, Hasna and Yousif are gone to some college birthday party so I was alone at home and bored",I explain.
