Zulaid patted her hand which was resting on his thigh. He interwined their fingers and looked at her face. She was already staring at his face as if he was doing the things she never expected. When did she ever thought he would hold her hand so delicately.

Was she dreaming.

"I am all ears!" He gave him the softest smile.

"I have already said it you" She was embarrassed to think about her outburst of yesterday.

"Yes you did. And now I want you to share the details. I want an explanation" He encouraged her to speak.

"Why are you so interested in me?" She asked the question which was disturbing her the most.

"It's simple because you are an important part of my life now" He answered truthfully.

"You have already said it many times today" She told him.

"Did I?" He questioned.

She nodded in response.

"Well it's good to repeat important things" He shrugged his shoulders.

She silently stared at the city lights. Her hand was melting in his warmth.

"I was eight years old when Hamad was born. For eight long years I was the only kid in the family. I got immense love from everyone. And then Hamad was born. I was a young boy at that time. I did feel that everyone's attention was divided but that didn't cause me to hate Hamad. He was my only brother and I loved him a lot. I was very excited when they brought him home. I was delighted to finally get a sibling. I didn't envy that little baby. I just couldn't. The moment I saw him I fell in love with him and the same happened after three years when you were born" He realized she wouldn't say anything so he started narrating his childhood to him.

"You remember that day?" She asked taking interest.

"Of course! I was eleven at that time. I remember every little detail of the day" He nodded.

"You were the cutest baby with pink fluffy cheeks I ever saw. I really liked you Nara! I really did. I starting taking care of you like everyone else. Don't mind me saying but chachi was very careless in the starting years of your life. She would leave you to me to take care of you. I tried my best to help her as I was the eldest one.

But with time I was realizing that Chachi and Mama was treating me differently. I was grown up but that didn't mean I didn't have anything else to do except taking care of their kids. I babysit you anf Hamad for a long time. I sacrificed my sleep, my play time and other things just to help the woman of my home but they both took me for granted. You both were not my responsibility to take care of. Elder kids aren't meant to take care of younger siblings like parents in their childhood at least.

Then Hamad grew up, he wasn't a troublesome child but you, you were very troublesome. You would create problem for me. You were a child. I can't blame you for anything but chachi. She never really properly took the responsibility of the kid she gave birth to. She would leave you to me for hours and you would irritate me. I never hit you for once. I wasn't cruel to hurt a kid but I wasn't happy with the injustice that was happening to me in the house.

As you grew up, you became very mischievous. You loved to mess with me. Chacha and chachi never tried to stop you for doing anything wrong saying that you are just a kid. This thing build inside you and you became a brat. Once you asked me to shut up" He told her playfully at the end.
