I woke up today not feeling well, i texted my friends canceling the plan of meeting.

"what's wrong Raz,are you okay" Fatima asked worried. I texted back "am not feeling well."
"Okay how about we all meet at your house." Sumeya suggested.
"Not a bad idea,how about you all come for dinner and a sleepover, Amina will be happy seeing you all." I texted them, and they all said okay and agreed with me.

The good thing about us is that our parents are related that's why it was easy for us to have a sleep over.

I got up from my bed I have to make things ready for my friends,its almost 10:45am now, almost time for lunch, I don't know how I slept this long today.

Anyways I woke up went bathroom did my morning routine after almost half an hour I was done in the shower,I came to my room and changed to a normal summer dress I don't have to over dress as its very hot.

By 11:30am I was down to the kitchen. "Salaam aleikum, good morning." I greeted my mom who was cooking lunch now and my sister was helping her, dad and Ali are not home, they already left for work.

"Sleepy head, is this the time to wake up." Yelled my mother, "sorry mom, wasn't feeling well today," I said back and my mother being my mother started panicking,and checking my temperature,if I was okay, and guess what my temperature wasn't okay according to my mom.

"Ya Allah! Your temperature is 38.5°. This all because of the ice cream, and junk food you have been eating, I have forbidden you many times but you don't listen."

My mom said giving me some paracetamol.
"And yeah, you need to go rest in your bed am bringing you soup so that you get fine quickly," mom said.

I don't know what I will do without my mother, she is the best person in my life. "Ehm.... Mom am fine,I don't want to go to bed I just woke up from bed now,I will feel more sick." I tried to protest but mom being mom didn't let me.

"No means no, now go to bed and listen to my instructions," mom said back, and Amina was smiling this whole time not helping me, I glared at her but she just shrugged her shoulders and continued cutting the vegetables, which I presumed today we having vegetables my worst food ever.

I decided not to argue with mom and go to bed, but before going I yelled from the stairs.

"Fatima, Sumeya and Ahlam are coming for sleep over today, because they said they miss Amina so they will come later."

I turn back and headed to my room after mom saying okay. I went to bed, trying to sleep which was not coming. So I decided to play games from my phone.

After an hour Amina came to check on me,carrying a bowl of soup for me. I kind of hate soups, but I know if I don't drink this one mom will make a drama out of it which am not ready for any.

"So what's wrong with you, ever since yesterday I noticed you not okay." Amina started saying.

Now I don't know how long I will have to hide this, soon or later the secret will come out.
But for now I think I have to just be quiet and wait for my gang to come so that I ask them what I should do, plus Fatima asked me not to do anything crazy.

"Earth to Razina, what are you dreaming off, I have been talking to you for the past 5 mins, but you not replying back." my sister shakes my shoulders and bring me back to life, I need to stop thinking a lot.

"Nothing.....I don't think people dream while they are awake." I tried to change the topic, I know my sister will try all her best to know what's bothering me, but for now I should try to hide it.

"Well that's what you were doing anyways, finish your soup, like a good girl lunch is almost ready,..... And yeah don't throw away the soup while am gone." I tried to act as innocent as I could and made the best puppy face.

"Why would you said that Amina, am so innocent, why will I throw the soup." I tried to look innocent.
"Stop playing around, you can't lie to me, I know that's what you do," my sister said and left the room.

Now I have to drink this soup....yucky I forced myself to drink it, and I successfully finished drinking it while feeling weird. I put the bowl on the side bed, and finally after 5 mins or more I fell asleep.

I don't know what time it is now as I try to wake up. I feel so weak, and I feel drenched with my own sweat. As I try to open my eyes I see my mom seating beside me with a wet cloth on my forehead.

"How are you feeling now sweetheart?" My mom asked.
"I think am getting better." I said as I tried to sit up.
"No just lay down for now." my mom said, and she stood up saying,
"let me get some food for you,am sure you must be hungry now."

Just on cue my stomach started rumbling I smiled to my mom and she left from the door. I checked my phone to see the time, and the time is 6:39pm. OMG! I slept this whole time,just then my door opened and my friends came in with my sister currying food for me.

"Salaam aleikum, how you feeling now."
They all chirped in together, I laughed at them and they all laughed back,
"Now here sit and eat this." Said my sister.

She started feeding me, its rice with chicken curry, and its my favorite food,wow its so delicious.

"Raz, you don't need to stress yourself for me, I now know the truth." Said my sister Amina. I looked at my friends, showing the face of 'who told
My sister' but they all shrugged.

"Don't look at them, they didn't say anything,I forced them to tell me."
I looked at my sister weirdly,how did she know that we know anything.

"Don't look at me weirdly, I was checking on your phone, when I saw the video you recorded,that's when I had to ask them and they told me everything." my sister said sadly.

I felt sad for her. "Does mom know about it?" I asked but I think I shouldn't have asked because, "what is it that mom should know" we all looked at the door to see who was talking........
