Chapter 1

Aaira's POV

" Where am I ", I screamed.
I turned to the north, south, east and west but nothing.         

Suddenly I heard a low ,deep, baritone voice calling my name.
"Ameemy"

Only one person calls me that.
I whisper to my self  "am I hearing things"

I hear it again , I start moving to the direction of the voice.

It's all foggy around me , I then lay my eyes on a man emerging from the fog.

He came closer, I could see him very closely now.
"It was a fair, skinny, tall man with light brown eyes, and a long, slim nose, with curly dark-grey hair and some visible wrinkles on his skin."

He smiled, opened his arms, and called my name again "Ameemy"

I look at him in disbelief, and before I knew I started to weep. With no hesitation I run towards him and grab him tightly.
           "ABIIII"

I squeeze him tightly.
"It's unbelievable my father is here with me". I say in a low voice.
Before he could respond,
  Buzz, buzz, buzz

It's my alarm, I get up realising that it was all a dream.
I start to sob, remembering all the memories of my late father.

"Halima is a fair, slim, medium highted girl with a long slim nose, and beautiful hazel brown eyes, with long dark curly hair, and a curvy figure which I can say to be "slim thick". Most of her characteristics resembled that of her late father "Mr Mubarak".  He was a really nice man having 7 children, with Halima being his favourite. He addressed her as "Ameemy". Her middle name Aaira, and her first Halima."

"Aaira", "Aaira". Nasreen calls. "Yes, sister Nasreen. I am here what happened Yaya" I answer. "What happened!! seriously Aaira, you're asking me what happened. Stop playing innocent okay, am sick of it." Ya Nasreen says.
    
"But wat did I do????" I question. "What's the time?" Ya Nasreen says. "Let me check sister. "OMG!! sister I'm sorry I overslept, I really didn't know......," Nasreen cuts in before I could finish.

"I taught I asked you a question, so answer ", Nasreen says furiously. "Ehhmm, it's 10:30am", I answer. "The next time this happens I promise you I will tell mamii, so be careful," Nasreen says and then exits the living room before Aaira could say any thing more.

Ya ALLAH what have I ever done to sister Nasreen why does she despise me soo much and why is she always so jealous of me, Ahhhhh.

"Nasreen is the second child to Mr. Mubarak, while Aaira is his third, Nasreen is currently 21 years old and is older than Aaira with 2 years and some months. Aaira is currently 19 years old. Nasreen is a dark young woman, with dark black eyes, and a slightly big and short nose. She has glowing black skin, which she inherited from her mother, Mrs.  Hadiza Mukhtar, whom they refer to as Mami. Nasreen is quite tall and a little chubby as well. She is always jealous of Aaira for some reason."

"Breakfast is ready", I say, as I arrange the plates on the dinning table. "It took you long enough",  Salim says with a dry expression. "You don't have to be soo rude to your elder sister", Karim says Looking furious.

"Let it be Karim, sit down and have your breakfast, I made your favourite", I say with a dry smile. "Really!!!, I love you soo much sis", Karim says.

"Karim and Salim are non-identical twins, Salim being 1 minute older than Karim. Salim is the 5th child while Karim the 6th. Karim loves Aaira more than any of his siblings, and always support her. While Salim on the other hand doesn't seem to like Aaira, instead he's closer to Nasreen. Both Salim and Karim look like their mother even though they aren't identical twins. They are 13 years old."

Maaya, the 7th and the last child barges into the room holding Aaira's phone.
    
"Maaya is a very stubborn and playful child who's only 7 years old, she considers all her siblings equal and doesn't treat one more than the other. She is a fair, chubby girl with light brown eyes just like her father. Sometimes people wonder where Aaira got her hazel brown eyes from."

 "Yaya Halima!! yaya Halima!!! someone has called and says it's very important that they get to talk to you right now", Maaya says. "Give me the phone", Aaira says looking worried.
     
Aaira then collects the phone, after hearing something over the phone, she lets go of the phone and falls to the floor,  in dismay.

"Aaira, Aaira, what's wrong," her siblings say.
 
She gets up in a rush and carries her hijab, then stormes out of the house.
