AMYRAH.
It's been a week now of our reception and his relatives went back to abroad. I really miss them a lot. They were so loving and fun going people that I connected to them in just a few days.
Their flight was yesterday and some of them went to their maternal side for a few days. It still feels like a beautiful dream. Maama and I are bonding so well. The fear I had has eventually faded as maama isn't like a typical saas.
Aaban was getting ready for the day and I was waiting for him so that we could go downstairs together. He was taking his time and I was getting impatient as maama always scolded him for being late.
"Aise kyun ghoor rahi ho." (Why are you staring at me like this). He asked while buttoning up his shirt and I looked away.
"Kitni der karte hein aap." (How late you do). He looked for his watch and wore it. My heart still beats erratically looking at him wearing the watch I gifted him. He has his entire collection and much costly and branded ones but he always chooses mine.
We finally stepped out of the room together and reached the dining room. We greeted maama and Baba and received our greetings back. I dragged the chair myself before he could do it for me cause this shameless creature doesn't think twice before doing anything.
I served the food for him and for myself and started eating it. They don't wait for Baba to start first like it happens in my blood family. "Toh aap dono ne kya socha hai?" (So what did you two think?). Baba asked looking at me and Aaban.
"Kis baare mein?" (About what?). Aaban asked in a polite tone giving him the entire attention and I love it when he gives so much respect to them.
"Kahi jaane ke baare mein." (About going somewhere). He said with a smile and Aaban choked on his food. I immediately passed him the water and he gulped it down. Why is he reacting like this?
"Vo.. abhi nahi soncha hai." (We didn't think about it). He scratches his nape which he does when he gets nervous and it is so rare as he barely gets nervous. What's up with him today?
"Aap kahan jaana chahti hein Amyrah?" (Where do you want to go Amyrah?).
I was thinking about it and even told Aaban. He said we can go someday soon. Shall I say that to Baba. "Amusement park." As I said they all chuckled and it made me embarrassed. What? Can't I go? I looked at Aaban thinking I said something wrong. He just shook his head with a grin on his lips.
"That, you two can even go today." Baba said with a smile but I was still confused about everything. What is there to laugh going in amusement parks? It just got open a few days ago and I really wanted to visit it. Was that childish of me to ask? Ughh!! I don't know, it's confusing.
We ate breakfast in peace with small talks here and there. After we were done the maids came to clean up and I was helping them. Though they tried to stop me but I couldn't help but to do it. I glanced at the watch and immediately ran up to my room as it was getting late for the Uni.
I opened the door and rushed inside. Aaban was looking at some of the papers and ignoring him I walked in the closet and started getting ready. I was done within 10 minutes and walked out pinning my hijab.
"Aaban chalein der ho rahi hai." (Aaban let's go it's getting late). He was engrossed in his work and just hummed in response. I know he didn't even listen to me. "Aaban." This time he looked up and nodded with a smile. I took my bag and we exited the room after petting the kitten. I still haven't thought about her name as I suck at naming.
