Chapter 03- Chaos Begin

(Pic is of Azra's sister Afra)

*Azra's P.O.V*

So here we are, sitting on the very corner of each sofa, not looking at each other or anywhere but our laps. I was sitting cross-legged while Afra was sitting with one leg out and one leg folded. The lecture we recieved today was terrible, it was so long that I almost snored, whats even funnier is Afra almost yawned over 15 times, but both of us didnt dare to speak a word, instead we was just nodding our head at everything dad was saying. And the task of the day is cleaning our room, it maybe easy to hear but trust me, its not easy to do. Whats worser is, my stomach is growling like theres no tomorrow, I mean calm down tum-tum, but how can I blame it, we was sitting closer to the dining table, and the divine smell of omelette and toast was literally begging me to eat it. I sighed, this is not new though.

My dad cleared his throat, and we immediately looked up at him to see him checking his wallet and wearing his watch, Right, busy peoples. "So ladies, how was the beginning of day?" My dad asked with a very tiny smile on his face and was looking at the watch he was adjusting. Me and Afra slowly looked at each other at the epic question my dad asked, our dad looked at us for a split second before looking down back again. Should I answer his question? Should I laugh at it? Or smile at it? Or stay mute? These are the questions running in my mind and I know that the same train is running on my sister's too. We looked at our laps again. "Cat got your tongues or what? Ha?" Dad asked with a featherly chuckle in his voice, "If so please show me the cat, so that I could have a word with it for shutting the mouths of two parrots?" Dad continued to chuckle and the word parrot made me smile. He always compared us with a parrot for talking continously. He used to call that since the day I started to talk. "Your that cat dad" Afra answered dad's question with a smile on her face, making dad raise his eyebrows in a mocking way, "Me? Ah..What do you say big one? Im the cat?" My dad asked me. Big one dad? Seriously? I bite my lips in order to prevent myself from laughing, "No dad, your not" I said while giggling, I still didnt find it right to call him a cat. And plus, I dont have the guts to do the half of things what Afra does. My answer made my dad snicker and Afra to shake her head, "There learn it from your sister," he told Afra pointing at me, "But on a serious note, the time im getting back from work, I want the room to be clean and tidy, not to turn the home upside-down, take yor meals at time and now, come here.." he listed out before spreading his arms for his girls to give him a bye-bye hug. We looked at each other before running to him with me clinging onto his right arm while Afra attacked his left arm. We rested our heads on either side of his chest staying in that position feeling the moment until dad kissed our foreheads and we pulled back, "Be back soon Dad and take care" I told him and Afra nodded agreeing with me while my dad chuckled, "Ok I will princess, but dont forget to clean the room" he warned us, "yes dad" we chorused letting him know that we have got his words into our heads. He nodded smiling before grabbing his briefcase and double-checking the things he need for the day and waved at us before vanishing through the door closing it in the process. I sighed and went to the door locking it. "Az, do we have to clean the room now? I mean, we have the whole day to ourselves and dad will be here at night so.." she moaned out her laziness to clean the room, but its true, we dont have to clean it just yet. I nodded at her making her breathe out a sigh of relief, and fell back on the sofa making a loud pofff..."But thats not what I meant darling.." I pointed at her comfy position in the sofa who was sprawled out on the sofa, she looked at me, "Go wash your hands and finish your breakfast" I completed making her groan and making me snicker. She finally got up and literally dragged herself to the kitchen and I went to the refrigerator to grab my extra-essentials for our breakfast. As I was about to open it, I heard a "thrash.." making my head snap towards the direction of the kitchen where the sound came from, "Afra, open that poor tap gently would you!?!" I scolded her for opening the tap so forcely. She does that just to annoy me and pull my nerves, "OOPS!" She screamed from the kitchen before giggling making me shake my head and open the refrigerator when I saw the familiar sticky note sticked on the corner making me smile. That was my mom who always writes something just to let us know she is thinking about us.
