Ruqayyah 

Zaik seemed pretty calmed down after he talked to Iqraam, which i was glad for coz an angry Zaik is sorta hard to control 

"So i heard Iqraam Ibrahim is in Tahiti" said Farisha aunty eyeing me 

"Oh yes, his family vacation, he needed it though" replied Shumayll smirking 

"And who may you be? some news reporter? or let me guess, another of the homeless people Ruqayyah tends to feed?" asked Musawwir and i opened my mouth to speak but Shumayll shook his head 

we were currently seated after lunch when my ex in laws decided they wanted to stay for dinner since Shumayll's family was coming over as well 

now they are throwing questions at us and cant seem to understand the fact that a word "Silence" also exists!

Huma didi gave me a smirk and i smiled in return 

this was gonna be interesting 

"I am not a news reporter nor am i a poor person-" replied Shumayll grinning 

this guy has humor i swear!

"So? who are you? ahh... one of Iqraam Ibrahim's employers?" asked Farisha aunty and Shumayll shook his head 

"Well you certainly are not some rich dude coz you dont look like one- nor behave like one- so you are some middle class guy with no dreams?" said Farisha aunty 

i looked at Shumayll with an apologetic look and he shrugged 

"Lets watch tv, shall we?" i asked and they gladly agreed 

i switched on the tv and changed to a news channel 

"BBC news live, welcome to your hourly update-" said the blonde lady in the mike 

"Business news is trending atm, leading the business world, the two best friends, also known as "Ibrahim and Edris". Mr. Ibrahim is currently out of country in Tahiti but we manged to get snaphots of his visits-" said the lady and photos of Iqraam began coming up 

one was him shopping with his sisters, his hands full of bags

i smiled at it 

the other one was him with his mom 

the third one was him putting his shade on 

how can someone be so perfect? 

I felt Huma nudge my sides and i set still, a small smile on my lips 

"Hweyy thats Iqraam uncle!!" yelled Zahi as she ran into the room 

taking a seat infront of the tv, she stared at the screen rolling Iqraams pictures 

the last picture caught my eye 

it was him, in the pool, his hair all wet and he was splashing water all over his sisters 

masha allah 

"see thats a family! whoever gets married to Iqraam, is very lucky!" cooed Farisha aunty 

Shumayll coughed loudly and aunty shot him a glare 

"Don't do that about him, can't be successful yourself- what do you do for a living?" asked aunty
