FADING TIES

PART 11

Recap

Mahad: "Thank you, Baba. By the way, what have Ibrahim Bhai and Yusuf Bhai studied?"

Omar: "Beta, your Ibrahim Bhai is a web developer, and Yusuf Bhai is doing his BS in IT. And you? What are you studying?"

Mahad: "I've taken admission in computer science too. I don't like medical studies, and arts would be too boring for me."

Omar (chuckling): "Alright, meri jaan, we'll do what you like."

Mahad: "Thank you, Baba. You're the best!"

Omar: "Beta, no need to thank your Baba. Come here to me." (Omar hugged Mahad tightly) "Love you, meri jaan."

It's Sunday today, and the house is in a bit of a frenzy.

Omar: "Yusuf, hurry up, beta! Can’t you ever get ready on time?"

Yusuf: "Baba, I’m coming! Just give me two more minutes."

Omar: "Hurry up, beta g."

Yusuf rushes downstairs.

Yusuf: "I’m here, Baba. You could’ve been a little more patient."

Omar: "Beta, today I’m taking you all out for a outing . We’re going to be late because of you."

Ibrahim is already in the car.

Ibrahim: "Baba, Yusuf, will you both come already? Mahad and I are sitting in the car and getting bored."

Mahad: "Yusuf bhai can never change."

Ibrahim laughs: "You’ve got that right!"

The family sits in the car as Ibrahim starts it.

Ibrahim: "So Baba, where should we go first?"

Mahad: "Bhai, let's go somewhere fun!"

Ibrahim: "You tell us, son, where do you want to go?"

Yusuf: "Bhai, let's go to the mall."

Mahad: "No, Baba, the mall will get boring. Let's go somewhere else."

Mahad: "How about we go to the zoo?"

Omar: "Son, you see monkeys at home every day already" (pointing at Yusuf jokingly).

Mahad: "Then where should we go where it'll be fun?"

Ibrahim: "How about the amusement park?"

Yusuf and Mahad: "Yeah!"

Omar: "Alright then, let's go where the kids want."

Ibrahim: "Alright, Baba."

After half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination.

Mahad and Yusuf jumped out of the car.

Both: "Yeahhhhh! Wohoooo! Today’s going to be so much fun!"

Omar: "Calm down, kids! Be careful, there’s no rush. Don’t run!"

But the two were too excited to hear and ran off as if they didn’t hear a thing.

Ibrahim and Omar sat on a bench, watching them. After a while, Yusuf came running back.

Yusuf: "Baba, Bhai, come on! We’re going to ride the Discovery!"

Omar: "No, son, you two go ahead. We’re fine here."

Yusuf: "No, Baba, please! It’ll be so much fun. Mahad is getting the tickets, and he’s already bought tickets for both of you too."

Omar (sighs): "Alright, then. What can I say when you two insist?"
