(Hafsa's POV)

I was really sad when Baba told me I can't move out. I said goodnight to everyone and went upstairs. I turned the water on and as it was filling the bath tub up I threw in a lush bath bomb. I got in the bath tub. I let out a sigh, because it felt really relaxing. After I was done with my bath, I brushed my teeth and washed my face with my night time face wash then I put on some really comfy shorts and  a baggie t-shirt and went to bed. I was looking for some good apartments in New York. I stumbled upon one Apartment. It looked really pretty, it was a gated community and they had really nice living rooms, big bathrooms, huge rooms, a nice kitchen with a lot of storage,and a walk in closet!! "OMG I really like this apartment, but the problem is I don't know how to convince my parents to let me move, oh well I should probably just go to sleep."

"Baji wake up, how can someone sleep that long." Haniya said, in a whiny voice. "Leave me alone ", I said, as I was throwing pillows at her. She left my room and I finally woke up. I washed my face and brushed my teeth and wore very casual clothes, I didn't do my makeup because I wasn't in the mood. Also I didn't take a shower because I took a really long bath yesterday night. I went downstairs and greeted everyone. My baba was on the couch drinking chai ( indian tea ) while watching the news. My mummy was in the kitchen talking to that same aunty from yesterday. " Gosh she is so freackin annoying." I said, as I was putting cereal in my bowl. Hamza and Haniya were in the game room playing just dance on the Kinect. They are so weird some times I swear. I finished my breakfast and went back to my room. I saw that my cousin Maryam was calling me ( btw she lives in India ). I picked up the call and started talking to her, I swear we could talk all day long. I told her about my moving out issue. 

Maryam- Hmm, I don't know what you can do to convince them, wait do you know someone or some girl that lives on their own?

 Umm I-I don't wait I do know someone Bushra! ( She is that aunty's daughter whom my mom was talking to.)

Maryam- Who is that??

Oh there is this one aunty and she talks to my mom everyday and always braggs about her daughter Bushra.

Maryam- That's perfect!! You could show your mom  bushra as an example of an Independent person and then maybe she'll agree to let you move out.

Damn that sounds like a perfect idea. Gurl I knew you would have a solution to my problem. (She always does in real life btw.)

Maryam- Haha I know right. Now go before it's too late.

Yeah bye, love you 

Maryam- bye, love you too.

I quickly ran downstairs and saw that my mom was still talking to her. Damn does she not have anything else to do, I thought in my head. Oh well this is a good chance to bring my topic up anyways. I went to my mom and asked her if I could talk to aunty. She gave me a weird look because she knows that I don't like that aunty that much.

Mummy- Hafsa wants to talk to you for a min.

Aunty- yeah sure.

Hafsa- salam aunty, how are you?

Aunty- Wsalam beta ( I don't really know what it means but I think it means child. lol ) I'm fine and how are you?

Hafsa- I'm fine too. By the way how is Bushra doing haven't heard from her for a while. At this point I just put the phone on the speaker so that my mom could hear too.

Autny- Oh Bushra she is doing fine, as you know she is in California completing her studies and she told me that she found a really nice apartment there. I'm so proud of her for being independent. Right when she said that I looked at my mom with a serious look on my face. I could see that she was listening very carefully.

Hafsa- Oh that's really good. I'm also glad that she is happy.

Aunty- Yeah. So why don't you move out you need to become more independent like my daughter.

Hafsa- I put the call on mute and started laughing. 

Aunty- Hellawww , Hellaww Koi ha vaha par ( Is anybody there )

Hafsa- I quickly un muted the phone. Yeah, yeah sorry I was drinking some water. Well okay aunty I have to go now. Allahafiz ( basically means bye ).

Aunty- Okay beta Allahafiz.

Then I went back upstairs and prayed as it was maghrib.

After 2 Hours

I don't really know how I fell asleep, but then I was woken up by mom's voice. She was calling me down for dinner. I quickly washed my face and went downstairs. We all sat and started eating dinner. My Baba was asking Hamza about his soccer practice and my Mummy was asking Haniya about her school. And I was just quietly eating my dinner. I was the first one to be finished with my dinner. I washed my dishes and put them away, as I washing the dishes I felt someone was staring at me. I turned around to see that my whole family was staring at me. "What?" I asked, and got no reply. I went to the living room and sat there. Everybody finally finished their dinner and they also came and sat in the living room. Then suddenly my dad was the one to break out the silence.

Baba- Hafsa, your mummy and I have talked about this a lot and I think we should let you....  Move out!!!

Hafsa- I just looked at baba in shock. " Wait what your going to let me move out?!?!

Baba- yes

Hafsa- Oh my gosh yessss Hugs baba and mummy tightly. Thank you so much omg I still can't believe this. Baba I already looked up an apartment and it's the perfect place for me.

Baba- Woah, I think you are really excited to leave us all..

Hafsa- NO-NO baba why would you say that I'm sad that I will have to leave you guys, but this would make me a more stronger person.

Mummy- Awww my baby grew up so fast. A tear rolled down her cheek.

Hafsa- mummy don't say that I'm still your little hafsa. Everyone started laughing. Well I think we should all go to sleep now because we have a lot to do tomorrow.

Hamza- Yawns. Yeah let's go I'm also tired.

Everyone went to sleep and so did I. I was just picturing how I'm going to do everything and I fell asleep.
