"Goodnight Aira" He touched the place I smacked him with a bag and said "I know I will have a hard time massaging my head"
The taxi stopped and I stepped out "Well we are even, I also have a swollen forehead"
He turned to glare at me "Well it won't be noticed, it's like your forehead is always swollen Aira"
"I don't have your time" I said turning to leave
"Well goodnight. For real"
"Goodnight" I replied with a laugh

"Assalamualaikum"
Mami looked up at me from the dining table she is setting "Ohh you are here. We were actually waiting for the call for your Ransom money"
"Mami" I groaned sitting on one of the chairs
"What happened to your forehead? She asked sitting close to me to inspect it
"When the car hit the pole, I slammed my head on the dashboard" I explained
"Why was he looking at you when he's driving? She asked getting annoyed
"Mami" I exclaimed feigning shock " He wasn't"
"Ohh please" She swatted my hand "Let me get a towel to massage it" She stood up and walked to the kitchen
"Mami don't worry, Hafeez bought me a cream and medicines to soothe the pain" I quickly said to stop her. Getting a massage from Mami when you hurt yourself is close to giving birth.
"I will still do it" She replied and left
She came back, got settled and grabbed the towel then ascended it on my forehead. Zahra walked up to us with an evil grin and held me down.
"Mami.... Ooooohhh.... Ahhhhhhhh... Please....ayyyyyyyy.... Ohh Rabb.... Mami please.... Ahhhhhhhh..... Wayyo Allah" I shouted, wriggled and wiggled to get away.
"Shut up Humaira. Are you giving birth? Mami scolded as she finally did the last massage and applied the cream on my forehead. It was extremely soft and cold and felt instantly soothing on my forehead.
"Haa! Zahra exclaimed "This won't make you cry because hafeez got it for you" Zahra said and I pinched her
"Assalamualaikum" Abba walked into the house and the next second, Zainab ran to hug him.
"You are welcome" Mami said smiling at him brightly
"Welcome back Abba" I and Zahra said in unison as he nodded sitting down and removing his socks.
"I have good news" He smiled up at us
"What's it Abba? Zainab questioned clinging on to his arm
"We are launching the company in two days time"
Zahra and I screamed and hugged each other tightly. Zainab stood up and began jumping up and down
"That is amazing. Masha Allah, I'm so proud of you" Mami said leaning in to hug him.
"You will be having so many guests tomorrow. All the family members are coming including hajjah"
Our smiles died down immediately Abba said that. Even Mami looked unhappy for some seconds. We all know how hajja is. The typical strict and nagging old woman full of bitterness.
"Ohh" I said turning to look at mami and zahra "That will be great" I added in a dry tone which everyone seemed to pick on
"Come, I want to tell you something" Abba said standing up while Mami took his bag and followed him upstairs
