I climbed up the stairs angrily, reaching the terrace.
"Not a single day can go peacefully," I huffed.
No, I didn't fight with anyone.
I got scolded for no reason at all.
By pops.
I seriously hate this thing in brown families.
Just because you're the smallest member of your family, you'll be the best target for everyone to release their frustration.
It doesn't matter if it's your fault or not. They will eventually twist it in a way to give you the award.
And if you dare to question back?
Another award of 'Battameez' (rude)
I walked back and forth on the terrace, calming myself down, and took out my phone, staring at the message Murat sent me 37 mins ago.
After mentally debating I texted him, 'Im free'
'Calling in 2 minutes', his reply came after a few seconds.
I got lost in gazing at the stars while sitting at the chair, when my phone starts vibrating.
"Hello?" I answered the call in a heavy voice.
Yeah, I cried.
"Ji" (yeah) I close my eyes as his voice melts in my ear.
"Hmm"
"Work done?"
"Yeah done," I said in a monotone.
"Dinner?"
"Nope"
"Why?"
"Lost my appetite," I tried my best to keep my voice normal.
"Why is your voice so heavy? Are you crying?"
"Nope," I bit my lip with a heavy throat.
"What happened?" his voice got softer with every second.
"Nothing new. Just...family thing" I sniffed, shrugging my shoulders.
"Did anyone said something to you?"
"You know, getting scolded.....for no reason at all?? It just pisses me off."
"Who scolded you?"
"Papa"
"Oh. It happens."
"Yeah."
"But don't skip dinner because of it. You'll sleep hungry?"
"I don't know. I'll see. Have a mug of milk around midnight maybe."
"Yeah. Don't sleep without having anything. Where are you?"
"Terrace"
"Are you still crying?"
"Nah. I'm not" I sniffed.
"Your voice tells something else."
My heart swells up at how he can tell something is wrong just by my voice.
I sniffed and wiped my tears.
"Hayat?" his voice made me close my eyes again.
"Hmm?"
"It's okay"
"Hmm. Yeah. Anyways. What are you doing?" I sat up straight.
"Just finished my work, and a deal with a client."
"Achha."

"Are you serious?" I laughed.
