The following day
Its a Saturday so ayaat doesn't wake up early as usual she wakes up at 12:pm, turns her head around to the left side of the bed where the side drawer is located and checks the time

Ayaat
Inner self1: innalilahi,look at the time,its late for crying out loud
Inner self2: well, we should all be grateful you prayed your fajr right on time
Inner self 1: and dont forget your going to create a conference call later
While getting out of bed, she laughs at herself

I think am going crazy,but inner me thank you for reminding me inshaAllahu I won't forget.

Should I brush before going down stairs?

She puts her left hand to cover her mouth and exhales out to smell her breath

With a squeezed face she says

Nahhhhhh!!!!!!! It can wait

She  puts on a top then proceeds towards  her mother's room which is at the end of the left side of the passage, she knocks three times but no answer and then decides to open the door.
While opening the door

SalamuAlikum mama!!

She looks around but the room is empty,she heads downstairs thinking she might find her in the kitchen, she unconsciously passes the parlour without noticing the presence of somebody there as she enters the kitchen and greets her mom,it dawns on her

With an open mouth

Innalilahi

She runs back and sees her dad sitting and watching TV, he turns and with a smile

Abba
Ooo, so now you see me

Ayaat runs and hugs him and says

Ayaat

I missed you,why did you stay that long

Abba

the business was longer than I
expected

Ayaat

Looks up at her dad

Tun yaushe ka dawo Abba?

Abba
Sitting down

Da safe fa, ya exams din?
I hope you wrote them well

Ayaat
Inner thought: well its not like if I pass am going to school anyways, unlike that girlfriend of yours
With a weak smile

Yes,inshaAllahu

Abba
Toh Allah ya ba da sa'a

Ayaat
Turns and looks at her mom

No wonder your looking mind blowing right blowing


Abba
Turns and looks at maman ayaat

Ki kawo min abinci na daki

Mama
With a frown she looks up at him
