My Annoying Husband

Chapter 2

"Safaa!!"

"Safaa! I'm going to kill you!", shouted Sameed. I am going to beat him up, how could he ruin my beauty sleep? And why is he shouting like that for god's sake?

"Let me sleep!!", I shouted back, placing a pillow over my ears.

Then, I felt something cold on my head, dripping down to my whole body. I instantly woke up and sat on the bed. Sameed stood there, with a bucket in his hands, as angry as ever.

"What the hell is wrong with you!!! Mammaaaa!!", I screamed. Mama, Ariana and Baba came rushing into the room.

"What's wrong Safaa?", asked Baba.

"Look Baba, he poured cold water in me. What if I catch a cold?", I fakely sniffed.

"Sameed, why did you do that?", asked Mama cautiously.

"Look at her! She's obviously faking! Can't you see? And she wore my tshirt again!", Sameed replied. I looked down and realized that I was actually wearing his tshirt. Oops. Okay, what can I do, guys tshirts are so comfy.

"I don't care Sameed! Clean up this mess now!", scolded Baba. They were leaving my room when Mama spoke.

"And Safaa, if you want, I'll buy you a new tshirt, no need to wear your brother's tshirts", Mama said, leaving me, Sameed and Ariana behind.

"You guys should seriously stop arguing like that. You woke me up from my peacful sleep", scowled Ariana.

"Shut up", Sameed and I retaliated at the same time. She left the room with all her sass. Sameed and I sneered at each other.

"Keep that shirt, you made it dirty anyways", he said pointing to the ice cream stain on the tshirt, then walked out.

Wow. What a way to start a Saturday morning.

-------------------------------------------------------
I walked downstairs where Sameed and Ariana were sitting at the dining table, eating their cereal. Mama came in in a hurry.

"Kids, you need to go pick up these things from the store. I need them for tomorrow, I'm starting my Eid preparations", she told us, handing me the longest list I've ever seen.

"Mama, why do you need such a long list by tomorrow, Eid isn't even until next week", I asked.

"Yes but, its always good to be prepared", Mama said then thought for a while,"And that Aunt Zubeida is going to show her preparations off if ours isn't up to standards. So we need to beat her this time", Mama said. So that's what all this is about.

"Okay, so can we also also go to the mall, I need some stuff as well",asked Ariana.

"Hmm, fine. I'll drive us there at about 2:00, Ariana, Safaa you should be ready by then", said Sameed in an authoritative tone.

"Okay, you can take along your friends if you want", Mama said and I instantly cheered up.

"I'll call Aleena", I said.

"I'll cal Ayaan", Sameed said.

"Nooo! Why?", I whined.

"No excuses, he will come. If you call Aleena, I'll call Ayaan. That's it", he said sternly.

"Safaa come downstairs! They are going to leave you!", shouted Mama. I hurriedly put on some kohl on my eyes and sprinted downstairs. I found only Ayaan and Mama sitting in the living room.
