Javed's POV


Mum and I agreed that it was time for me to settle. Now I just had to find a suitable spouse. But of course, this was the toughest part. I was bored of receiving attention from all sorts of girls and I was ready to project all my attention on one special girl. I had my list of expectations. Some of the things she had to be were pretty, smart but not too smart, appreciative of Islam but not to Yusuf and Safia's level, somewhat independent and someone who'd cook and clean for me.

Yusuf sighed when I told him of my expectations. Apparently, they were too unrealistic and he thought I was too old to be so picky.

"You're going to be thirty this year," Yusuf reminded me. Not that I needed such a reminder. He was around with Maria and Adam who were currently keen on destroying the place. Yusuf looked at Adam with his phone and patted his pockets. "Is that my phone?" Yusuf asked, taking it out of Adam's hand. "You little thief." Adam protested as the phone got taken away and proceeded to throw a tantrum. "No, Adam, I will take you home of you behave like this."

"I watch Hulk smaaash!"

"No!"

"Hulk smaaash!" Adam said again, trying to hit Yusuf. Yusuf grabbed his wrist. "I'm going to phone mummy and she's going to put you in the naughty corner."

"Why don't you put him in the naughty corner?" I asked.

"Because he cries when I do it and I can't bear it. He knows I'll cave but when Safia puts him in the naughty corner, he knows the only why he'll come out Is if he's quiet for three full minutes."

"HULK SMASH!" Adam shouted again. I picked him, seeing that he wasn't giving in.

"Hulk smash!" I said as I lightly threw him on the sofa, tickling him. He began giggling.

"No, I Hulk. You Iya Man!"

"I don't want to be Iron Man," I complained. I wanted to be Spiderman.

"You Iya Man, I Hulk!" Adam jumped on me and I fell dramatically. As we were playfighting, Maria joined in too. Soon, I was on the floor, making sound effects as if I was in pain by their light punches and kicks. I tacked them a few times and they giggled uncontrollably.

"Okay, that's enough Adam and Maria. Come on, stop fighting with your uncle now." Yusuf said, picking them off me. Adam became agitated again, squirming out of Yusuf's grip.

"Adam, come, let's watch Hulk on my phone," I said, taking him and placing him on my lap. I put Hulk on YouTube for him and gave him my phone. He instantly calmed down.

"I don't want him to get into these bad habits," Yusuf complained.

"It's just a one off. It's fine," I replied.

"Fine. Just this once."

"Hulk fight Shuperman!" Adam said excitedly. Maria dumped her basket of fake food and joined Adam.

"Let me see," She said, leaning over but Adam pushed her away. "Daddy, he's not letting me see!" Yusuf motioned for her to go to him. When she reached him, Yusuf held her by her arms and said,
