"I love you."

Just as the words hit my ears I felt like puking rainbows, just like Snapchat's filter. My eyes were hooked to the floor under my feet as my blood circulation increased by 70%. I didn't know whether to pretend that I never existed or hit the fire alarm.

"I love you more!" Her voice sounded sweeeter than the sheera of gulab jamun making me spat the coffee out followed by some throaty cough but it left no effect. Grabbing the fork I dropped it from the slab and that brought them out of their daze.

"Oh Zeen! I didn't see you there, I hope you won't mind." Abiha tweeted taking a bite of her museli, paying no heed to Omar who resembled an over-grown tomato.

"Of course I didn't mind. It was like watching 'The Fault in Our Stars' in real life." My sarcasm was on fleek after coffee accelerated it.

"You actually watched that movie?" Zayd, who just happened to come strolling in the kitchen asked me whilst grabbing an apple.

"Just what I thought." Omar joined in.

I nodded my head indicating a no but all three of them narrowed their eyes at me.

"I remember sniffles coming from your room a few weeks back! I knew it! You were watching TFiOS, you hypocrite!"
Zayd announced making everyone laugh except for me. I didn't correct him that the sniffles were the cries after the nightmares, so I laughed along with everyone. Even if it was fake.

My pain, my tears, my problems belong to me and there was no use of showcasing them in front everyone. Which reminds me of the incident with 'Voldemort's Apprentice', 'Cruella Deville's right hand' and 'Scar's best friend' a.k.a Aunty Rukhsana. With her being with us 24/7 and not to forget the fact that she was my Dad's sister, I kept my anger under the pillow and simply ignored her. Something I learnt from her.

"I-I-I...I got in! I GOT IN!" All four heads turned to Dani who sprinted down the stairs in his PJs, a full blown smile gleaming on his face.

"I got into Chester! Can you believe it? Wait till you hear the best part." Panting he came inside the kitchen, "I got in with half scholarship! Only a handful students were awarded with it! I'm going to Chester!" Zayd instead of saying something engulfed him in a hug and Omar copied him.

"Party tou banti hai!" I sang to Dani whose face was flushed with happiness, "Let's go to the arcade later!"

After fifteen minutes, everyone in the house has seen the library, dorm, common room, classes and football field of Chester University as Dani jumped around the house with his laptop.

Dad took his sister and her children for some sightseeing and Zayd left for work. Omar and Abiha went out to enjoy what she calls 'The Golden Period' and in a way that was great for me as I couldn't stand the PDA.

"I'm heading out with Isa, Harvey and Maha! I'll be back before Maghrib. Then we'll head to the arcade." Dani walked in once again now dressed in his usual.

"Sure! I'll ring Jason and Sid and see if Ad is available."

"Um...Zee don't call Adam...just. C-can he not...join us?" His face contorted and a few fine lines appeared on his forehead.
