Just a sister

Sauntering slowly to the house premises from his room fell with his stick the way to go, "zia where are you going?" he heard his mum's voice asking.

He smiled and turned to where he heard the voice from "i want to go and check on Aroush am curious on why she isn't here by now, we need to go to the market on time,” he languidly lamented.

“Ok then but you still have time" Umma replied to him paying more attention to what she is doing, He use his armpit to hold his stick before he can use his hand to Check time, he uses his hand to feel on the Braille watch on his wrist, "it is 2 pm it will be better if we can leave before 3 pm, i have to go you know that girl if she didn't see me ready and waiting she won't get ready on time" Zia mentioned, He walked in a slow steps to Aroush’s house getting in to the house with saying "peace be upon you the people leaving in this house", Ummi answered from her room with "peace be upon you too" Aroush rushed out of the kitchen holding spoon her face pasted with smile, “Yaya i am sorry for keeping you waiting!” she apologized politely.

He smiled back as if he is seeing her face. "Don't worry dear you can take as much time as you needed, where is Umma?" he asked turning his head as if he can see her around.

Umma who just step out from her room said " i am here my son, i bet you are tired of waiting i just don't know why Aroush is too slow" umma complained, "that's why am here may be if she is seeing me she can try and do everything quickly" he replied back to Umma.

"Umma Please spread a mat for him let him wait am coming" they had Aroush voice from the kitchen, Both Umma and Zia laughed before Umma said jokingly "so that you can waist more time?", Waiting for Aroush wasn't actually something new to Zia he sat on the mat comfortably with Umma beside him she soart bean as they keep chattering with him, few minutes later sabrin serve food to him.

"Yaya please eat before i get ready,” she said.

She wore a black gown, she never wear a make of on her face but still she looks gorgeous and amazing, am ready we can go she mentioned, Ok "umma we are going", he said turning to where he can sense Umma sitting, "ok safe trip" umma prayed.

Aroush took his stick and keep it in her room for that Zia never walk with stick when going out with Aroush or Ejaz, these two serve as his eyes, Zia bought himself only school bag while almost all of the things the bought is for Aroush and he paid for it only few of it belongs to his Mom and Aleena’s Mom.

Returning back, Zia stay at the door entrance where Aroush went inside and kept what they bought then took his stick out, she accompanied him home before going back to her house happily, she likes it whenever she is with him, It is the same thing to Zia his best moments are the time he was with Aroush infact he loves the girl so much, fear is the only thing that stop him from confessing, he think it will better to live like this than for him to confess and get rejected he is not lucky enough to endure the pain of being rejected.

‘Be brave man her answer is definitely yes!’ that's what another person in him keep telling him.

"What are you smiling for?” he heard his mum's voice saying, he smiled again "it's nothing am just listening to Radio" he replied her.

She hummed, "you better tell her what you feel about her, in love the earlier you say your mind the better" she said while looking at him.

“Now Not actually i will try and gather my whole courage to tell may be on her 20th birthday or on my graduation day by then she is a final year student,” he thought before he shakes his head a little and then said, “mother , you need to understand she is just a sister to me.”

"Just a sister" Umma smiled

“Well, if that’s what you say i will believe it."

***********

"Can you please stop the car?” Aleena said to Sajan after reaching his place. He stopped the car without a word.

“thank you" is what she said.

“Umm where did you keep the bags?" she questioned.

He took a deep breath Aleena and problem! He sighed.

Please where is it i need to know, i need to see what is inside before Misha and Nihad!” Aleena said innocently peering directly in to his eyes.

“In my room.” Sajan replied in a low key voice as his heart beat faster he just can't endure this kind of look from her.

“Okay let me have the key!" she said stretching her hand toward him he couldn't say anything And he can't refuse, he just take the keys of his room from his side pocket and gave it to her, he watched her leave and then increase the air conditioner of the car due sudden hurt he felt.

Getting in to sajan part at his house, Aleena could hear the noise of his siblings before reaching his room, may be they are waiting for him she thought, Misha was seated not far from them while Nihad and the three boys are busy playing that's how Aleena meet them reaching to the room door entrance.

“Who am I seeing?" Misha asked surprisingly.

She smiled, "oh i get it! Yaya keep us here waiting just to go pick you up, let me tell you we are to see what is in the bag first!" Nihad said scrunching her face.

Aleena laughed boisterously, “so you mean to say the bags will forever be closed," she said looking in to Nihad eyes, Nihad raised her eyebrows, "what do you mean by forever?"

“Nihad lets go and tell Mom he is back and with Aleena, so she should come and tell him to open the bag to us first." Misha said before Alena can answer Nihad's question.

Aleena used that opportunity to open the room and Misha along with her siblings rushed back but Aleena already close the room with a laughter.

“Didn't I tell you he likes me more? See he even gave me the keys to his room.” Aleena continued laughing watching them through the window in the room.

Not even sajan made her open the door he has to beg and made a promise of taking her alone to Yankari game reserve before she agreed on opening the door.

He opened the bags himself after she opens the door, he shared everything to them and left to his mum's room to avoid Aleena or Misha's grumble, because he knows that there must be a complain from these two everything is the same not even color different he did that in purpose he wanted not to give room for one to say he care more about her.

His mum was seated on a two seater chair watching Zee world though she isn't young but the drama young dreams is her favorite among all, "what bring you here?"

Angrily, she said to Sajan after he sat on the carpet, "Am sorry for not waiting i know you must miss me a lot but i know how you pray you take time that's why i just left to Abba's house , you know how Aleena is if by any chance she find out about my arrival from any one it gonna be a war", he said jokingly.

Mum hummed, "so you mean the girl you love is better than your mum?" She complained.

“Who am I to say that and who do I love to me Aleena Misha and Nihad are all sisters to me.” Sajan grinning even after knowing that she won't believe him.

“Look at this boy i carried you for two years in my back you can't cun me!” She snapped and then added, "if not because of her study i would have told your father to set a date for your marriage because I am tired of this your lies, we all know that you guys love each other."

With Misha and Aleena coming in to the room stop sajan from replying to his mum, Aleena greated Mum respectfully and Mum responded delightedly, "Please mum look at this my gown and that of Misha which is more beautiful isn't my own better?," she said making a wrinkled forehead with her eyes slightly closed.

Mum raised her eyes slightly from where she is sitting to watch the gown on Aleena's hand standing mum look at the gown and turn her head to look at that of Misha, Mum giggled all she see is one close "but I see no difference,” she replied.

Aleena scampered away without saying anything and Misha followed her chortling,

From mum's room Aleena head to Dad's parlor, "you just wasting your time no body is blind as you these dress are the same, what Yaya mean by buying us the same dress is we are all the same!” Misha said giggling as she followed Aleena holding her gown.

"Dad good afternoon" Aleena greeted Dad entering the room, "afternoon dear", he said gleefully, "Dad what are you hiding here eating", Nihad asked with wet eyes before Aleena can say anything after the greating things, "it is a delicious food.” he replied, "what about me i want to eat too" Nihad said, "am sorry dear but i can't share with any one" he said jokingly knowing that Nihad will be furious, "ok then I will stay here to disturb!”

She grimmaced.

Dad laughed gently,”ok then you can have it."

"What happened, what is with your face did any one beat you?” Dad turned to Aleena and Misha he know with the look in their face something is definitely up, "Dad we are here for complain it is a problem please help and solve for us" Aleena pleaded.

"Ok what is it to make you look like this?" he

He asked with care.

Hearing what is the problem he looked at the two dress few seconds later he smiled these his two girls are the real definition of trouble makers all he see is the same dress and he is sure they know the dress are the same.m, "Ok i need to feel the texture" Dad mentioned with serious face, "i think this one is more qualitative" he pointed at one in Aleena's hand, "may be your own is fake", he said to Misha. Aleena shouted jumping happily "i knew it Yaya Sajan care for me more so do not confused over fake dress."

"Don't worry dear elders need to be patient with their young sisters" Dad said to Misha and Misha smiled, Aleena hate it calling her younger than Misha is what she actually hate, "She is not older than me we are mate and I don't like this one" she said as she quickly exchange the dress,Dad smiled as he watched them out, he did that on purpose.

Shakir drove Aleena back home for that he visit to see his friend.

Back in Sajjan's room after praying he lays on his bed happily seeing his family and haviny his mum and Aleena's food made his day.
