We were all sitting in the garden on the round table all ready to eat the fresh barbeque all the papa's and uncle made, it would have been exciting if the barbeque was of chicken, but I would say luckily it was of goat , the not so good kind of smell which only I was experiencing because according to my analysis
everyone was looking forward to devour it, how would I eat It.. YA ALLAH I KNOW that its not good to say bad to any food but I cant eat it I don't want to please help ....

The plates were served I was sitting beside my mother who kept a pice on my plate seeing my reaction to it she whispered

"Areesha eat it quiely its food i don't want your childish behavior mode on now got it"

"But mummy I cant it it smells ".. I whispered

My mother just looked at me and was going to say something when one of my auntie intrupted "what happen fatima what she wants?"

"Oh nothing you know how are kids these days they don't like anything healthy and areesha here is spoilt in these maters by her father ,no one is having problem in eating and she will to have none right beta"

Hey I am herr biggest daughter how can she say this about me I thought

"Yes" I nodded forcefully

Everyone at the table laughed,

"Beta you will like it. Trust your father", baba said

"Ah hm mm ok "I whispered not quite delighted

Phuphee sensed my uneasiness and said "no worries if she doesn't like it don't force her is ok beta go and order the cook to make it . Or tell me I will order it."

Today at lunch all the uncles decided to have a change and do.barbecue the GUESTS are going to arrive today and all the cooks were.busy preparing for the special dinner..
the cooks usually prepared food on occasions otherwise I.have seen mostly the aunties cooking

"No no phuphee I will eat it "I orated

While all my cousins were giving me amused glances

Umar bhai was quick to add. "I will just order pizza from outside"

I was quiet waiting for my parents to say something .. the idea did made me happy but I had a beautifull mother to answer ,,

"Yes , that's a great idea umar Areesha beta tell him your desired flavour "

"No phuphee I can eally eat it no worries .. please don't trouble yourself."

Great what have I gotten myself into when nobody was having problem in eating why did I had to open my mouth I scolded myself

"Beta its not trouble at all now fast tell umar beta he is waiting for your answer.."uncle spoke

"Common areesha you have been offered a pizza tell him" zari api said

"Apiii orderr it I want a pizza too I don't want to eat the goat" daud orated innocently

"Daud beta" aunty said warningly while suppressing her smile.
