By now everyone had finished having dessert and moved on to Tea.
I noticed Isahaq had not come back out to the garden so I arranged a tray of the desert and took it to my room.
I found the door to my room opening and saw the kids and teenagers had once again taken it as their territory.
Only this time Isahaq was also there.
I watched as a kid jumped up and down trying to snatch the 50 Taka note which Isahaq was dangling in the air.
"Not fair bro! You're too tall!"
"Too bad kiddo, you have to earn the Eidi!" Isahaq chuckled with mischief.
The Kid huffed and stomped his speed in frustration.
It seemed Isahaq had enough of joking around so he bent down and held the money in front of the kid's face who instantly snatched it and a grin replaced his frown.
Isahaq ruffled the kids' hair, " Spend it wisely."
"I miss being a kid ! Nowadays I rarely get Eidi!" My 17 year old cousin Amna whined from the corner.
"At least you still get Eidi sometimes. Fear the day when you grow up more and have to give Eidi instead of receiving. Look at my situation." Isahaq shook his head and Amna laughed.
Wow- I was surprised to see them all getting along so well in spite of being strangers.
An uncomfortable feeling passed through me as if I was missing out on all the fun.
I decided I had done enough host duties and would spend the rest of the dawat here with everyone.
Amna went to sit beside Isahaq and seemed to be talking to him about something and a weird feeling gripped my heart.
I regretted allowing her to use my makeup and now was not in the mood to offer the dessert to Isahaq either.
Maybe I was being petty but whatever -
I placed the tray in the corner and offered the desert to the 12 year old who had precisely saved my bookshelf from being destroyed by that evil kid.
The kid took a bite from the jalebi placed in the tray and his eyes lit up , "Yum these are so good !"
"Yeah, Isahaq brought them right?" Amna put in as she smiled at the man in question.
My arterioles seemed to be dilating as I heard Amna's statement. Isahaq. When did they get so close that she was calling him by his freaking name and without a bhaiya.
Isahaq nodded and smiled at the kid
"Glad you liked it,".
My thoughts were interrupted and I was caught by surprise when Isahaq's next question was directed towards me, "Have you tried them yet , Maha?"
