Mummy, tea. Fawzan taps Fatima who is sleeping.
Fawzan, let me sleep I will make tea for you in the morning. Fatima muttered adjusting Fawzan to her body.

Mummy, tea, Choco. Fawzan muttered and started crying out loud.
Ya, Rabb! Fawzan why are you doing this to me? You always drink tea at night since you clock 2. Fatima muttered frustratedly.

Fatima hissed and stood up. Fawzan I will make tea for you but I will not give you chocolate. That will be in the morning.
Fatima muttered checking her time which was 1:00 am.
Fatima scrambled out of bed and turned on the light.

Mummy! Fawzan cried scrambling out of the bed.
Fawzan, wait for me here. Fatima muttered but Fawzan refused to.
Okay, fine let's go. Stop crying you will wake Grandma and Grandpa up. Fatima said to Fawzan.

Fatima's Pov

I swoop him in my hand and saunter out of my room.
I started walking downstairs. Everywhere was quiet this got me scared.
This boy won't be the death of me. I muttered frustratedly.

I reach the kitchen and drop Fawzan on the kitchen island. I turned on the gas cooker and boiled water then made tea for Fawzan.
Mummy! Fawzan called stretching his hand forward to collect the cup of tea from me.

Fawzan, it's hot. I said to the boy and he started crying.
Will you shut that tiny mouth of yours else I will beat you. I muttered raising my voice.
My voice scared him and he stopped crying.

The tea cools down and I give it to him.
While watching Fawzan drink his tea. I fall asleep.
Fawzan finished drinking his tea and he started tapping me.
Mummy! Fawzan muttered.
I open my eyes and collect the cup from him.

I wipe off his mouth and swoop him in my hand then saunter out of the kitchen.
I walk to my room and lock the door then walk to the bed.
I climb the bed with Fawzan and lie down.

Abbah, please sleep I don't want you to disturb me. I said to the boy.
I started patting his back until he fell asleep and I did too.

5:00 am

I woke up and scrambled out of bed. I glance at Fawzan who is sleeping peacefully. I heave a sigh of relief.
If Fawzan was awake he wouldn't have allowed me to pray peacefully.

I walk to the bathroom and perform ablution.
I saunter out of the bathroom. I grab my hijab and the prayer mat.
I finish praying and start cleaning the room.

I take Fawzan's dirty clothes and walk to the bathroom. I wash them off.
I finish washing them and saunter out of my room to dry them. I lock up my bedroom In case Fawzan wakes up and doesn't see me he might come downstairs and I don't want such a thing to happen.

I reached the living room and saw Ummi in the living room. I greet her and then proceed to the backyard.

I finish drying Fawzan's clothes and walk back inside.
I reach my bedroom and open the door.
The sound of the door woke Fawzan up.
Mummy, Fawzan called me rubbing his eyes.

Abbah, you are awake. I said to him with a smile.
I walk to him and pick him up.
Fawzan rests his head on my chest.
I peck him on his curly hair.
I love you, baby. I said to him with a smile.
