IQRA

it was safe to say that MD was horrified at our family entering the place 

literally, the staff were staring at us like we were aliens 

even the kids were behaved! 

The girls stared at Bhai, Shaheer, Shumar and Shumayll as if they were meat, the Managers were running around, whispering The Edrahim's are here, that's our ship-name that the tabloids have given us, and well the customers were staring wide eyed 

okay so we hardly come to MD 

its usually some hotel or take away 

not MD 

even though its halal we hardly come here 

"Uhh why are they staring at my husband as if he is free food?" sneered Ruqayyah bhabhi and I chuckled

"Exactly!" muttered Huma didi 

uhuh 

"Right about it!" muttered mom 

i turned to her with disbelief 

"What?" she shrugged 

"So true!" replied Riza aunt and i sighed

Wow 

"Iqra, you wanted to eat, order!" said abba and i sighed

"Uhh can we take away- like this place is creeping me out-" i muttered and everyone groaned, again, causing everyone to turn to us 

not that they were not already staring 

"Okay- cool- everyone start ordering- we are outside with the kids" said Shumayll, tilting his head towards the slides and swings 

"Alright" replied abba and Shumayll and Iqraam bhai walked out with Shaheer bhai

"Mc flurries!! Oreo" i said and then set down, staring at the damned phone 

why wasn't any of my messages going?

I played around with the phone before heading outside to my car 

the bodyguards turned to me and i smiled at them 

on occasions like this, we had bodyguards and a whole set of cars that we took 

yes 

no carpooling at times though 

"What are you doing outside?" asked Iqraam bhai as i set on the bonnet of my Toyota 4D hilex, my legs handing infront on the bumper of it 

"Nothing, why?" i asked, shutting my phones light off and turning to him 

he took a seat beside me and chuckled

"I saw you out, so yeah- how are you feeling btw?" he asked me and i smiled widely at him 

"I am fine atm" i said 

it hurt 

it hurt that Alex touched me in most inappropriate ways but i can't change the past, i can face the present and live the future only 

"I am so glad Shumayll was on time" he said, genuinely 

The tips of my ears reddened, i swear
