Juwairiya's POV:
It was my fourth week stay in the USA California at Aunty Sadeeya's house,i always rush to come over there,cos i usually and always love my stay at her place .She is my late mom and dad's cousin sister and yes mom and dad were close relatives(cousins),her husband is an old friend of my dad . She is an ambassador and works for the embassy she has been married for over 15 years and hasn't yet have a child of her own,went to several gynaecologists with her husband turns out she's barren but Uncle Shuaib doesn't really care that's why she still is the only woman he loves and probably when the time comes they might adopt a child for now they have me their sweet teen Joe

Joe...she said

Yes aunt i replied back from where i was sitted watching the tv series going on

Come help me chose from this bags please I'm having a hard time choosing one she said staring at her phone

Ok let me see i said standing up from where i was to her couch

This! The red one i said pointing at the bag.It's flashy it will suit your fair skin color aunty

mmmm...she replied back still focusing on her phone

Let's see she said raising my left foot up to check something

Bring your shoe let me see she said typing on her phone again

I stood up confused and went straight to the entrance door  and picked my shoe.I came back and sat down handing over my shoe to her

She turned it back , check it and dropped it down immediately again typed on her phone

You may go,that's all she glanced at me and went back to her fast typing

I stood up to leave but then sat back on the couch again ,placed a hand on my chin and looked at her curiously

she laughed out loud so bad that tears started coming out from her eyes

Joe I'm not selling you,I'm purchasing clothings for you to make use of before you leave she said in between her laughter

You were acting strange, like joe do that,joe bring this ,joe.....

she started laughing out loud uncontrollably until she started coughing and i rushed to get her a glass of water

Here have this i said bringing the glass of water unto her lips

Thank you she said drinking the glass of water in one gulp

Feeling better now i asked soothing her back

Yes she said

This episode is even halfway done aunty i said disappointedly

Eyyah sorry ,my dear my bad she replied hands up in the air in an attempt to surrender

Joe a parcel will be brought in, later in the evening if I'm asleep just collect the parcel and sign, if I'm not then let me know. I'll be in my room for the meantime she said moving towards her room

I watched as her chubby body left my sight , aunty was just getting fatter as the days went by. I'm afraid she might get obsessed and need to work out soon.The door flung open with a smiling looking uncle Shuaib holding a big white nylon in presence ,i believe there must be a good news to announce with the look on his face

Joe how are you,where's she? He asked

Fine ,she's in the bedroom uncle

ok he said making his way towards their room

I was beginning to countdown for in the next ten seconds my name shall be called upon
