Daddy ,daddy Fauzan and aamna ran away from the dinning room to the door where dad was standing

Mmmm.
My babies how are you how's school ,he asked

Fine  Alhamdulillah. They chorused

For what seemed like seconds they stood there looking at dad waiting for him to give them one of the treats he bought for them
Till mom brought them out of their reverie

Fauzan aamna come back and finish your food right now !

Good afternoon sweetheart how's the trip hope it wasn't exhausting ummu said standing up from the dinning chair to collect Dad brief case

Fine enough Alhamdulillah . Where's bahija? he asked

Probably still in the kitchen with Adda

Bahii, ba..ummu shouted
Daddyyyyyyy!!!!! Where's my gift Fauzan shouted too

Our gift young man said aamna
Dad did you buy the mp3 I asked for

Fauzan ,aamna what's this? don't you both have manners let him rest first

Let them be 🤭 Dad chuckled and later laughed out loud as he shouted supriseeee!!!!

Both Fauzan and aamna quickly jumped on dad and snatched their own gifts away from dad walking away from him to the room

Just in time I came in a hurry to hug dad as I heard screams from downstairs I knew it had to be him

Good afternoon Abu  I missed you how's your flight where's my gift where is this what is that I said

Whoa whoa ...easy there tigress one question at a time where have you been?

Kitchen helping Adda I shrugged innocently knowing how dad reacts when I get close to the kitchen

Hope you didn't touch  anything !?

Nope no worries I never went close to anything electronic I said

That's my girl 😇

Yeah but I gotta learn how to use them one day you know I am a lady oh please!

Yeah we will see about that my dear and here is your gift he  said handing me a big shopping bag

Wow !this is a whole lot of books thanks Dad I said satisfied

Your welcome and am happy since you love it! he smiled

Umm umm... Ummu coughed gaining dad's attention to her

And how can I help you miss intruder dad smirked at ummu

Intruder who me ? Oh please I need to talk to my husband so am clearly not intruding

Oh ok woman at your service Dad laughed whole heartedly

I stood there watching them  till I felt their presence gone from the dinning room area...
