"Fareesa gets your lazy butt off the bed" yelled my mother from the bottom of the stairs

Releasing a groan, I pulled off the blanket that was wrapped around my body. What?! Can't a girl get some sleep around her or what? It's the weekend!! My body was aching with pain and I was too tired to get up this morning. Apparently because my brother, Shahveer is coming today my mother thinks 'the house has to sparkle'

I was so happy when my father called me to go home yesterday from University. But when I entered the house, I was like "should have stayed at University!" I mean come one who wants to clean the whole entire house and cook. Usually, my mother does that but I am just not really that type of a girl. I am more of slack off kind of girl.

"Fareesa, you lazy girl! What will I do with you?" she yelled storming up the stairs

Oh shit!! I am dead. Storming up the stair only means one thing. I'm about to get my ass whipped by my mother. Doesn't every desi mother do that? Not wasting any time, I ran to the bathroom and locked it. Smiling big, I patted myself on the back for the accomplishment.

"So now you go to the bathroom, you idiot" Mother snapped

"That's not nice mother," I pouted from inside the bathroom

"Nice? I'll show you nice!!" She said, walking away

I grabbed my toothbrush and brushed my teeth. After washing my face with my famous face wash, I wiped my watery face with a towel. Unlocking the bathroom door I walked out the door.

"Oh hey Shahveer bhai," I said walking in my closet

Wait?! Shahveer bhai!!! He came back without telling me and he is in my room without my permission too!

"The one and only Shahveer" he smiled

I turned around to see my one and only brother standing there with hands wide open for me to hug. Realizing, I ran up to him and jumped on him. He hugged me tightly and spun me around. We were both laughing.

I couldn't believe he is finally here. After 1 long year. He was wearing his army suit that fits perfectly around his body. I will tell you that my brother has a fit body but me, I just have an average body.

"When did you get here?" I ask pulling away from him

"An hour before you woke up," he looked down at me

Let me tell you, my brother is like a Giant. 6 feet tall just like my father. But I and my mother go different height. I am 5"4 while my mother is 5. Pretty shot huh? But that's not the case. We love our mother to death. Sometime teasingly my father calls her shorty and my mother calls him a giraffe. It funny to see them fight sometimes.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I pouted

"I didn't want to disturb your sleep. You were sleeping like a baby. It was adorable. Don't worry I took a picture, you can see it too," he smirked

"Why you little rat," I said, chasing him put of the room

"Look who is talking. Check yourself in the mirror before calling someone a rat," he looked over his shoulder
