Zeenath

"Zeenath! Will you wake up today? For Allah's sake??" Shouted ammi. "Yes ammi! Comming!" I replied and then murmured to myself "They won't even let me sleep on sunday! Allah! Please make my day happier than yesterday!" And with that, I went to washroom to freshen up and then take a shower. I dressed in some black long kameez with golden embroidery, golden leggings and golden hijab. I took a last glance in the mirror and walked down stairs.
I saw abbuji, doing what he do daily, reading newspaper in the living room.
"Salam abbuji!" I broke the silence. "Was salam beti! You have to go to Rania's house today, remembered?" Said abbuji to which I faceplamed myself.
How can I forget that! But Allah has granted me a chalta-phirta reminder. Abbuji will keep reminding me all the stuff that I have to do a particular day. Then I was pushed forward which bought me out of my thoughts.
"ZAINAB!" I shouted at my little sister. Sorry! Little, naughty, annoying yet cute and trustful sister. Yess! Finally defined her perfectly! She is 2 years younger than me. Am 20 and she is 18.
"SORRY APPI! I WAS HUNGRY!" she shouted from the kitchen. I went to the kitchen to grab my breakfast when ammi asked me to wake up Zain and Zubair Bhaiyaa. I growned.
Waking them was the biggest task I had to on sunday. They both were 'Kumbh-Karan' I walked lazily to their room.
We had 5 rooms in total. One for ammi-abbu, one for me, one for Zainab, and one for Zain and Zubair Bhaiyaa. They shared the same room because Zain cannot sleep alone.
We had him after a long time. So he was the laadla of the house. He was 8. Zubair bhaiyaa was 22. Zain and Zubair Bhaiyaa were deeply attached. They loved each other with all their heart!
The room left was guest room.
When I entered their room, the were fast asleep. Masha allah! They looked so innocent when they were asleep!
I went to Zain first. He takes less time to wake up but a lot of time in washroom! While Bhaiyaa was totally opposite. He takes a lot of time to wake up but less time in washroom. Haha!
"Zainu baby! Wakey-wakey! Breakfast is waiting down stairs!"
We all sibblings are Foodies! And that line can wake Zain even if it is the middle of the night. Zain woke up and ran towards the washroom.
It was Bhaiyaa's time to wake up. Hmmm...
"Bhaiyaa! Abbhi utho warna mai abbuji ku boldugi ke aap kal raat me kya kar rahe the!"
I am his secret keeper. And I know every thing about his personal life. I even know that he daily talks to his girl-friend, Iqra appi, at night, after Zain falls asleep.
Bhaiyaa woke up and stood on the bed. He is 6'2. I had to bend my neck backwards to see him.
"Zeenath! I said you not to threatend me like this. Yaar! Sunday bhi nahi sone dete mujhe. Sunday sone ke liye hi bana hai!" He said those last words rubbing his eyes.
"Zeenath appi! Am ready!" Said Zain comming out of the washroom, showered. We all shower in the morning. Thats the first thing we do.
"Come on. Lets go. Bhaiyaa come fast. We have to go to Rania's house today, remembered? So please be quick!" I said to Bhaiyaa before heading down to kitchen with Zain.
Suddenly, the smell of freshly made pancakes made me and Zain go....uummmmm!! We raced to kitchen and took our seats on the dinning table.
Abbuji sat as the head of the family, every family have this place for the abbuji of the house, then on his right side, ammi then me then Bhaiyaa. Abbuji's left side had Zainab and then Zain.
We were eating quitely when Bhaiyaa shouted from his room.
"AMMI! ABBU! COME FAST! AAAHHHH!
