"And by the looks of it, someone will choke very soon" Rumaisa said clearly referring to Tauhida. "You mean me Adda Ruma?" Rumaisa asked pointing at herself. "I didn't even call your name Tauhida" she laughed making Tauhida gasp while all the others laughed at her childishness.

~°°~

Tauhida had the best family with the best people. Her almost perfect funny family had a simplistic way of making her forget the outside world very often. She could feel each and every time they bring ecstasy into her life and throw out the persistent sorrow that lurked in the shadows.

And that's exactly how family should be like. People who'll hold your hand through every phase of life and prevent you from certain doom you mistook for a path.

No questions asked, they lead you otherwise. Where nothing is capable of harming.

And even though she had friends she would go miles for, they were no match for her family.

Not even close.

But still, they were another set of people who gave her half the joy she had in her life.

People consider them to be just her friends, but by Allah they were in every step of her heart. Those four people new each corner of her weak  spots and the exact remedy to conceal them.

They were none other than; Aisha Julaibib Ahmad aka Humaira, Safiyya Asif Muhammad aka Sophy, Zainab Ishaq Mu'az aka Zeezee and lastly Asma'u Hussain Mukhtar aka Husnah.

It is said that there are different level of safety one feels within when with someone, and she certainty felt safe with any of those four.

No others compared to them. She wouldn't even call the other people she related with "her friends" cause really, we all know the exact things that makes someone a friend.

And the rest simply didn't check out!

After their ever cheerful family breakfast, Abba left for work as the only person who had things to do outside. The rest simply headed to their respective rooms.

Alhaji Al-amin Borodo owned a production company, with which he produced light products that were mostly used at homes and offices.

Even though it may seem to not be a huge business, he still earned quite an adverse amount of money which was enough to carter for his family needs and also give them luxury.

In other words, he earned a lot.

And considering the fact that his only son showed absolutely no interest in the business life, he still managed the company on his own while his son earned accolades in the army.

Luckily he wasn't that aged to not be able to. He became more thankful each time he was to remember that.

Imran at first wanted nothing but to relax on his bed and pretend that the world didn't exist. But he knew not to. He knew he had things he needed to enjoy the few days at home.

So that thought and the one to also shop for everything he'll need for camp fuelled him into deciding to go out for the day.

He reasoned it would be better than spending his bachelor hours doing absolutely nothing.

And somehow, he found himself inviting his sisters to go with him. He hated shopping, but it wasn't so bad whenever they're there to with him.

Tauhida and Rumaisa decided to follow their brother to shop. They agreed to follow him because each of them had one thing or the other that they've wanted buying. And they were sure as hell he would pay for everything.
