Hey kid! Her name is Aliya not All. Okay??"
I saw both of them looked at me in wide eyes.
Shit! Did I say it loud?
The kid come towards me and give me a dirty look narrowing his eyes.
"She is My All auntie. And who are you?"
The audacity of this little boy! He said it again!
Plus he said 'My All'!"Hey kiddo. Her name is Aliya Tahmeed. You can say it aunt Aliya, okay? " I slowly tell him.
"Nope she is All" he said folding his hands to his chest.
"No It's not All It's... "
I could not complete my words as the boy started crying.
"All auntie look, he is bullying me" he said in between his crying.
"Seriously Tahmeed! Dile to baccha ta k kadiye" Aliya said giving me death glare.
(Look you made the kid cry)
______________________________
I was watching the absurdity of my husband arguing with a four-year-old. All this, just because he called me "All"?Why is he taking this seriously when he stopped calling me that name years ago?
But when Azlan started crying, I had to step in.
Tahmeed pouted like a child and said, "He shouldn't call you that. No one should call you All except me."
Oh, my Allah. He can't be serious.
"Is there a copyright on it?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
He stepped closer, lowering his voice. "Yes. You're All... only for me."
Gosh, why are my cheeks burning? Calm down, Aliya, I told myself, diverting my gaze. Picking up Azlan, I tried to soothe him.
I kissed his cheek and said, "Don't listen to this bad uncle. You can call me whatever you want, baby."
