"Sir, we've reached" hassan Uncle, our driver said pressing the breaks of a car.

I nod and walks out of the car, it's 1am in the mid-night, usually I arrive early but today the meeting took almost three hours in which we are finalising the design that will be going out in a market and for that investors took four hours.

That man was saying the same thing again and again like he is giving his presentation in high school but nevermind we get the deal and in the end it's all worth it.

I entered the house, I know everyone was sleeping except her, I told her many times not to wait for me.

but Mother listened? No.

Everytime I told her she shut me off by saying "Maa hi bachon ka khayal rakhti haai" .

And like always she is waiting for me, I saw her sitting on the sofa.
"Asalam o alicum, " I cleared my throat and walk towards her.

She lifted her head and look at me with her sleepy eyes.

"Walikum salam, bete" She Spoke standing up and walk towards me to take my laptop bag but I pull my hand back, she looked at me with questioning gaze.

"Mama, I told you many times not to wait for me and sleep." I spoke looking at her, and in return she only smiled.

"Bete, You know I won't able to sleep until you come home" She spoke and took my bag.

"Go and freshen up, I'll serve the dinner" She gestures me go to upstairs.

"Okay" I said and went upstairs to freshen up, I know whatever i told her she never listened to me.

she only listened to her husband.
I entered my room, remove my blazer, discard my shirt and entered washroom.

After taking a quick shower and changing into black trousers and tee I went downstairs where mama is already waiting for me.

I entered the dining and took out a chair, just when I was about to sit I smelled something burning.

I hurriedly walked towards the kitchen and saw the most impossible or I better say "never happening in a decade" scene.

My only little-sister, aka little-demon, that's what everyone calls her, is in a kitchen scrunching her nose.

For a minute, I can't Belive my eyes like seriously Ammara and cooking, you must be joking with me.

"What are you doing here at this hour, and what is this smell" I spoke, my fingertips covering my nose because of the best fragrance.

"She was cooking Noodles but unfortunately she burned it" Mama spoke standing beside me and covering her nose with her dupatta.

"Mama!, I didn't burned it, Wo toh aik dum stove ki gas teez ho gyi or Noodles jal gyi" She spoke with a sad pout looking here and there without meeting mama's eyes.

(Suddenly the flame on the stove gets high and the Noodles burned)

"Or stove kisne chalaya tha??" Mama spoke a little sternly, folding her arms on her chest.

(And who turn on the stove??)

"Maine" She mumbled and Mama look at her with scary eyes.

(Me)

"Mama, bs kardein naw hogyi galti, next time nhi karoongi, now please Don't look at me like that, bhai bolein na Mama ko" She plead looking at me.

( Mama, please stop it na I admit I made a mistake, I will not do it again, bhaiya please tell her)
