All The Way From Home

chapter 3

A full house is what to call my present situation right now
Uncle jawad, uncle kamal, Uncle jalal all with their families and not to mention our famous aunt layla and bilqees

"Layla holds a great reputation of living a high standard life and if not then her name isn't layla" These were her exact words in a wedding ceremony that occurred which is a long story

To cut the long story short , this woman was meant to say something on her friend getting married ,and she tottaly took the Mic to tell her not to put up if her husband changes towards her .

This was all laughed out not until she said those words as an assumable motivational quote which made everyone declare her as " layla the mighty "

But off course there was a lot of "omg "..."who is she?"..."this isn't right " ..."is she alright?"

...trust aunt layla with her standards
Now bilqees is nothing like aunt layla...she's just rich and thinks less of other people.

"Firdaus mashaa Allah , you're leaving tommorow " said aunt layla

"Well my zainab and bilqeesus Zara are going to Salford university, Manchester . Which from my research is way better than Bedfordshire "

We ate , talked , had a good family time and abbu was still not back and I could see that ammi was thinking the same from her face

Seeing the sweet doughnuts made by my favourite aunt which is jalals wife , I took it to her and she smiled then took a bite

"Hey firdaws"

I turned and ya Allah it was Ahmad
"Ahmad I didn't know you were coming" I said while smiling like I just won a lottery

"Well you know me and surprises , I didn't want to miss not seeing you before you leave so i had to do it for me lady "

he said while trying to give me a killer smile

"Ahmad , haraaaam!.. you know we could marry right ?" This was me trying to look serious but i failed and we both laughed it out

"That'll be very disturbing ,you're my cousin but let's face it we're just like sister and brother " he said

" Well yeah you're right " Ahmad is jalals son , we used to fight on daily basis before but that was until he
Left for boarding school . Well, since when he came back we have been attached to the hip
