"Do you think i should take her to school ? " my mother asked causing me to look at her.
"why ?" i said looking down at nadia "she's quite young , don't you think ?" i said lifting her little hands in the air.
i was currently in the kitchen sitting on one of the stools with nadia on my laps looking over at my mother who was cooking , it was still early and everyone was asleep.
"i don't know , i just want her to start talking early " said my mother chopping the carrots into fine pieces.
"But mom she's only a year and a half , don't you think she's too young ?" i said slowly getting up and setting her on the floor while i got her play mat.
"Maybe your right " i heard my mothers distant voice as i headed into nadia's room to get her play mat and toys.
"we will take her when she's old enough in shaa Allah " i said heading back into the sittingroom area and spreading the baby's mat on the floor and pouring her toys on them , as expected i saw her crawling to me eyeing her toys.
i stood up and gently lifted her and placed her amongst her toys and she immediately started waving her hands up and down in a happy manner.
i wonder what if toys didn't exist.
i shook the thought off and sat on one of the sofa's reaching out for the Quran , and started silently reading it.
it had been an hour and my mother had finished cooking breakfast and nadia was still playing with her toys , 'dosent she get bored ? '
i shook the thought off and headed upstairs to wake my siblings up.
"Najma , wake up" i said walking into our room. my sister and i shared a room i wasent comfortable with the thought of sleeping alone .
Thing is i have nictophobia , i'm scared of the dark and being alone i kinda start breathing fast and feeling light headed and dizzy and it does not end well.
I pulled the curtains apart to let the sun in.
"Ugh ! madinah stop ! its Saturday please let me sleep " she said groaning
"let you sleep ? and you haven't even prayed fajir ? shameless girl wake up !" i said pulling her blanket off
"Noooo !!" she said curling into a little ball.
"you better be up by the time i get back or else I'll tell umi to give you chores to do " i said walking out heading into my brothers room.
"Hamza , wake u.." i didn't see him in his bed , just as i was about to walk out , he came strolling out of his washroom.
"wow what happen to you fudge cake , why are you early ?" i said picking up his shirt on the floor and folding it.
"watch it puffball , i wasent reday for your long speech about waking up early " he said walking to his cupboard " besides i have some stuff i need to take care off "
" whatever fudge cake " i said leaving his room
we had these nick names for each other as long as i can remember , he calls me puffball because i was chubby when i was small and i call him fudge cake well coz he loves fudge cake.
I went down and saw my mother setting the table for breakfast
"madinah i need you to get some things for me from the market " she said placing a tray of cups on the table.
"sure mother , i can go now if you wish " i said picking up an apple
"Really ? what about breakfast ?" she said now her attention fully on me
"i can eat later i don't mind "
"oh thank you habibti " she said reaching in her pocket for a folded paper and some money
"this is a list of what i want and here's the money " she said handing me the things
"ok" i said going back to my room to get dressed.
i took the basket and headed out keeping my gaze down avoiding any eye connection with people.
After walking for a few minutes i made it to the market , noisy as usual .
I squeezed my way trough all the tight crowds until i made it to the fruits section , phew ! thank God , its a stampeed out there .
As i was walking to the nearest stall i tripped on a stone heading face first for the ground , i tightly closed my eyes and waited for the impact but never felt anything , i felt a pair of hands tightly around my waist and the back of my head.
i slowly opened my eyes and met with a pair of sea blue ones .
