Chapter Twelve – My Promise
(Ayaat's Pov)
"Ayaat" Atif spoke waking me up.
"G" I replied rubbing my eyes.
"Wake up my love, its morning and I'm headed to work."
"Oh alright then, go safely, call me when you get there."
He smiled and placed a kiss on my forehead.
I smiled and spoke "will see you soon."
"Yeah," he replied leaving the room.
After getting fresh I head down stairs.
"Assalamualikum Ammi," I spoke walking into the kitchen.
"Walaikumassalam my daughter, how are you," she replied smiling.
"I'm fine Allhumdulilah, how are you and what are you making?"
She smiled and spoke "Allhumdulilah and I'm making Atif's favourite kheer (rice sweet)."
I nodded and spoke "but he just left for office Ammi."
"Yeah I know but he can have it when he returns, actually the thing is well most probably he must of not informed you but today is Atif's birthday!"
It was Atif's birthday today and I didn't even know and neither did I wish him this morning.
What should I do for him? I thought to myself.
"Ammi, should we arrange a surprise party for him?"
She dropped her frown and spoke "Ayaat, actually Atif doesn't celebrate his birthday since his father -"
I cut her off and spoke "Ammi will you give me permission to cook today and plan the party."
"Ayaat, but -"
"Don't worry about Atif, I will handle him, will you give me permission?"
"Yes but I don't know if Atif will appreciate this?"
"Ammi, please, please please."
"Okay as you wish my lovely daughter."
I picked up the phone and dialed my sister's number.
