Idriss stood in the darkness, pondering over all that happen ever since he came. His parents seems distant and for a moment he taught it was because of his return, he ran his hands in his long hair.
But why will they not be happy about his arrival, he taught coming back will be the best, he will be with his family and friends. Allhamduillah he is a very successful business man for a 23 year old but his family comes third after Allah and his messenger. He sometimes sees his father comforting his mother and it hurts so bad to see her tear which she always keep from her children.
He took a deep breath and close his eyes as he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in" he sat on his bed rubbing his bread.
"Salam....... Ya Allah why is it dark in here?" basma open the door surprised by how dark his room was. She search for the switch and on the light.
Idriss shoot his eye cause of the brightness of the light,
"I was just resting" he took of his socks as basma place a tray of two coffee mugs on his coffee table, she took hers and sat across him.
"What's up?" She took a sip after examing her brother long enough to know his not okay.
He took his mug and fake a smile, he look on top and then back at her
"The roof" he joke feeling the hot liquid in his hands, he look at it for a moment then place it on the table not in the mood to drink.
Basma knows her brother and he sure is not in a good mood, she roll her eye
"Yea I know I mean with you, you have been down lately" she wore a concern expression.
He watch her then spoke "its nothing just work, but its nothing much" he never taught he could lie this much, he murmured a astarfirallah under his breath.
She do not wanna push it, so she change the subject and she knows what will cheer him up.
"So I was thinking of making some brownies wanna help?" She watch him as he smile and took his phone and put it in his jean pocket which means she has succeeded,
"Let's go" he pull her out of her sit, took the tray and dash out of his room after her.
"Hand me the cups please basma" idriss took the cups and fill it with icing, they debated on what to bake and finally they agree on a vanilla cake, its their habit to not put the icing on the cake but in a cup, their mother think it's stupid but they love it and think its fun.
"Don't no no no" idriss throw a napkin on her when she cut a slice of cake and pop it in her mouth.
"What you are wasting time and am hungry" she defended wiping her hands with napkin stinking her tongue out at him before getting back to making milk shake.
He shook his head at her childish behavior and hit her on the head playfully.
"Grow up" he said handing her a cup of icing
"I will if you get married and give me niece and nephew, because I don't want them to think am spoiled" she roll her eyes and took the cup.
"Speaking of marriage, come children you mother and I wanna tell you something" their father came into the kitchen making them look at each other in confusion before they nod.
When their father left idriss pick up the cake and basma took the tray that has the icings and milk shake.
"This meeting is for you" basma said eyeing her brother.
He rise his eye brows in shock
"Why?" He ask why will it be for him.
"Because am not ready to get married" she left a confuse idriss standing in the kitchen, nor is he.
He join the rest of the family in the living room, after serving the cake and fighting with basma on who will get the bigger slice they all sat down curious of what their parents got to say.
Ahmad knew this was a bad and good decision but he don't know what his son's reaction will be, huda wants this and ahmad knows that she knows what she's doing. So he clear his throat and begin.
"Idriss please what ever happen we want you to know that its for the best and your mother and I love you so much"
Idriss shift in his sit uncomfortable before nodding his head.
"Your mother and I want you to get married" his eye wide in surprise as the words left his father mouth, and his heart started beating fast.
"Why?" His voice harsher then he intended.
"Habibi we are getting old and we wanna see you settle down" his mother calming him down.
Idriss knows that there is something they are not telling him so he just nod and looked away.
"So do you have anyone in mind?" Huda asked and he shook his head no.
"Then we will start searching" she smiled
"No Ummi I will help him just leave it to us" basma look at her brother who gave her thankful one in return.
They parents look at each other before accepting.
"Okay but we give a week" ahmad pointed a finger at them.
"A week baba that's too short" basma defended when she saw her brother's panicked expression.
"Nothing more" they father made clear.
Idriss not his head in his hands and give a deep breath of defeat.
This is all too much for him, he felt a hand on his shoulder which were basma's, she did try her best but right now he needs to be alone.
He stood up and left, he needs to clear his mind. He dash out of the house got in his car and drove as fast as he can to the only place he knows he will be alone.
