Marwa's mouth dropped open in amazement. She could not for the life of her believe that she would get the job with a mouth watering salary. A tiny sound escaped her lips and soon she was screaming with excitement as she flailed her arms about.

The letter was to be returned by 21st but oh boy was she dropping this when she resume duty. She clicked the print button at the top right of the screen and waited patiently, biting her fingers. She snatched the paper from the printer and let a sigh escape her lips. Her fingers touched the  seal at the top which had the letters SAR on a sky rising building with an eagle whose wings were spread out.

Marwa danced a little on her spot and stopped immediately she heard the door to her and Mukhlisa's room close shut. She neatly folded the paper and placed it into the bag beside her laptop. She glanced at the small clock on the wall and was surprised to see that it was afternoon already.

"Mummy." Lisa croaked out, rubbing her eyes with fisted hands.

Marwa watched with a smile as her daughter walked towards her, yawning. The girl was so cute, she felt like eating her up. Her hair was long and full.

"You need a hair cut." Marwa said, hugging her daughter.

"No. I like it this way." Lisa fumed, stepping back.

"How about a small trim and maybe a new style?" She asked.

"I want cornrows like aunty kiki down the road." Mukhlisa jumped, holding her mum's hands.

"Alright love. Go dress up, let's go get some food." Marwa agreed, pushing her towards the door of the bathroom.

"Let's have pancake mum." Lisa paused at the door of the bathroom.

"No baby. Let's get biryani. We could grab ice cream later." Marwa suggested, holding her breath, hoping her daughter would agree.

"Yayyyy ice cream". Lisa clapped, pushing open the bathroom door.
