YOU BELONG TO ME

CHAPTER FORTY SEVEN : THE EMERGENCY.

Roohina's eyes widened as she entered the living room, only to find Rubina lounging on the sofa, engrossed in a TV show and munching on popcorn with a look of utter serenity.

The stark contrast between Rubina's tranquil demeanor and her earlier frantic phone call, which had sent Roohina rushing to her side, was jarring. Roohina's mind raced with the possibilities of what could have triggered such a distressing call, only to find her sister in a state of complete relaxation, oblivious to the worry she had caused.

Or maybe Amir or rumana came before she did and solved the problem, yeah it has to be it !

She decided to confirm , bit before she could rubina__who just noticed her arrival__beat her to it.

"Roohi thank God you're here!" Rubina exclaimed, her voice trembling. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come."

Roohina's concern deepened. "What's wrong, Ruby ? You sounded so panicked on the phone. Is everything okay?"

But before she could even finish asking, Rubina blurted out, "The ingredients are in the kitchen, my maid measured everything for you."

Roohina's confusion grew. "Wait, what ingredients? What's going on ? "

Rubina's eyes darted around the room, avoiding eye contact. "I... uh... I forgot to tell you the emergency."

Roohina's worry turned to incredulity. " You mean to tell me that I rushed here, worried sick about you and your baby, and it's all because...?"

Roohina's voice trailed off, she already knew the answer. "You're craving something, aren't you? What is it this time?"

Rubina's eyes welled up with tears. "I just really wanted your special chocolate-filled pancakes, okay? And nobody was here to make them for me..."

Roohina's frustration boiled over. "Pancakes? Really? You called me, frantic, and I dropped everything, and it's all because you wanted pancakes?"

As Rubina burst into sobs, overcome by pregnancy hormones, Roohina's anger melted away, replaced by exasperation and a hint of amusement. She couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Thirty minutes later, Roohina found herself in the kitchen, whisk in hand, preparing pancake batter, just to calm Rubina down and stop her tears.
She finished the last pancake, carefully filling it with chocolate Nutella. Just then, Rumana walked into the kitchen, her brow furrowed in frustration, and her dark eyes flashing with annoyance. "What's wrong?" Roohina asked, noticing the scowl on her sister's face.

Rumana let out a deep sigh, her voice laced with exasperation, and her words tumbling out in a rush.

" adda ruby mana , in ba ita ba waye ? Wai tuwo da miyan taushe taake so ( who if not rubina , she said she wants swallow and pumpkin soup ) , like seriously, she did not even eat the pancake talkless of finishing them and she is thinking of another food " Her tone was incredulous, and she raised an eyebrow in disbelief, her lips pursed in a pout.

Roohina chuckled, a warm, amused sound, and her eyes crinkling at the corners. "She's pregnant, just do it for her , i will help you " Her voice was gentle, with a hint of teasing, and a soft smile playing on her lips. Rumana nodded, a small smile creeping onto her face, and Roohina handed her the finished pancakes to take to Rubina.

After delivering the pancakes, Rumana returned to the kitchen, her expression softening as she worked alongside Roohina to cook for their pregnant sister.

" agar ruby pregnancy ki samay mein aise kana khate hain toh mein soch bhi nahi kar sakti ki tum kya karongi apki samay mein ( if ruby can eat these much during her pregnancy I wonder how yours would be ) " Rumana teased making roohina to glare at her but she didn't say anything because what is she supposed to say ?
