My eyes slowly opened from the sunlight roaming to my eyes. I opened my eyes fully and saw that Armaan wasn't beside me. I got up and checked the time on the clock near the nightstand and it was 10:00am! I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. It's my first day at Armaans house and what is his family going to think that I woke up so late and I had to make breakfast.

Came out the bathroom after a quick shower and topped on a nice and a little fancy shalwar kameez(traditional paki dressing). Then I walked right down.

"Assalamulaykum aunty, I'm sorry I slept till late I didn't notice the time!" I said in one breath feeling weird.

"It's okay beta(daughter), and Sheila already made us breakfast." she replied.

"Oh ok, aunty do you know where Armaan is?" I said sitting down on the edge of the sofa.

"Oh Armaan, he had an important meeting to attend so he and your uncle went to work." she said.

"Oh ok, excuse me I'll be back."

"Go ahead."

I went up to the deck and dialed Armaan's number.

"Hello" I said.

"Hey Aminah, how are you?" he said.

"I'm good, did you eat breakfast?" I said in a hurry worried about him starving.

"Oh don't worry, I had coffee!"

"Only coffee, omg it's all because I didn't wake up early."

"Come on hun, it's ok."

"No it's not, you're starving."

"Don't worry I will be ok, talk to you in a bit I have a meeting to get to."

"Ok bye and take care of yourself."

"I will and you take care too, bye!"

I opened the deck door and walked to aunty. "Aunty what should I cook?" I asked. " Oh Aminah dear the maids are there to cook, you don-..."
"I know but I want to make dinner since I didn't make breakfast in the morning either." "Ok as you wish!" aunty said with a smile.

I walked into the kitchen and made myself a cup of tea and had a biscuit with it for breakfast. Then I took out a pot and decided to make biryani(rice/spicy with chicken). First I put rice in a bowl and put water in it and set it aside. Then I made the gravy with chicken in it. I was done making the biryani in 25minutes or so and made the rita(yogurt with salad). I cleaned up the kitchen and walked back to the living room.

"Your done cooking already?" Aunty asked me proud of me.

"Yes Aunty, I made it early so that they don't have to wait even a bit when they get back from work. You might be hungry...want me to make you tea?" I said.

"That is really nice of you, Mashallah god gave me a wonderful daughter in law."she said.

"Aww thank you so much!"

"You welcome."

"Let me go get you tea and something to eat." a said and smiled back.

"It's almost 10pm and Armaan and Uncle still aren't here. I'm really worried, wonder what's taking so long" I thought roaming around the kitchen and checking my watch. The dinning table was set, food was ready to be served, and I was starving because I only had coffee and one biscuit in the morning. It's almost like I can't stand it anymore!
