Flashback

It was a nice sunny day in Shiganshina. Specifically at the Ahsans as their lazy son would not wake up.

"Junaid wake-up," Nadeem said loudly

"Mama is making Khobs!" Hopefully, that will wake him up for school

Suddenly the blanket flew in the air and dropped on the floor. He rushed down, furrowing his eyebrows, hoping to have some lovely warm bagels before school.

"Mama, Khobs jithe?" Said a ten-year-old Junaid.

His mother laughed at him and her husband "That was something Baba made up to get you awake early in the morning, Juni."

"Hey only Zahra is allowed to call me that!" he pouted but laughed along with his mother "...speaking of her where is she?"

She opened the door as she fixed her headscarf, "I made some Dahl for breakfast. She went to the public shower."

"Mama you were supposed to wake me up, You know those boys try to get a good look at Zahra!" He ran upstairs and grabbed new clothes his mother had set out for him, bolted to the showers afterward.

Nadeem looked at his wife, "I wonder how he will be when he gets married, Aamina."

She shook her head. "He's going to make a good husband."

"Why?" Nadeem furrowed his eyebrows.

"He learns from the best." She smiled at him as he left for work.

"I...can't see." a boy was struggling to look inside.

"Hurry Jeremy I want a peak too."

"Will you shu-"

"OI!"

"Oh shit, it's poopy color."

"Run Jeremey remember he beat us up last time!?"

"Relax, Remember to stand your ground like a man Danny." He plopped off the stool and got in a fighting stance. He was immediately hit by a charging Junaid.

"OW!" Junaid wasted no time in pinning him against the wall and spoke. "You've been doing this crap for a long time when are you going to learn It won't work?"

"I'll try again tomorrow."

"And I'll be there." Juniad quipped

There was a creaking sound as Zahra opened the door. "Boys always wanna fight...by the way Juni what did mama make?"

"Guess."

"..Dahl?"

"Ding ding ding."

She groaned in frustration.

Juniad walked to school with his best friend aka his sister Zahra.

It was the top of the morning as it was Friday. Special guests were arriving to speak about their jobs as It was career week in school.

It was now lunch time and Junaid was sitting with his friends Sahil, Hamza and Ridwan

"Hey guys, what did you guys think of the special guests?"

He thought back.

"Ok class we will have 3 representatives from the military joining us to talk about their careers, Please do not hesitate to raise your hand if you have a question." The teacher said.
