*EDITED*

It's been a while now, and Amma walks into my room and then proceeds to sit with me on the reading table I perched myself on, "go tell him to get up, he's a child, he doesn't know anything, he was trying to learn a new thing and it wet out of hand. Please my child" she explains and I give a soft smile, dear lord! I can't refuse this woman!, "OK, Amma", I reply with a sigh and she pats my back, "that's my girl, my baby girl", she praises as I get up and head to the backyard to do as told.

I collect the tray and tell him to stand up, he hugs me immediately which makes me throw the tray and down a brick went onto my precious foot, I stifle a cry of pain, instead of focusing my attention on the child who continuously mumbles sorry as his tears drench my clothes.

I pick him up with little stress, he's a 9year old but surprisingly very light. I walk back through the house and to my room then sit him on my lap.

"You know, anytime you wanna learn you come to me right, so why not this time, huh, dole sai ka koya dakanka (is it a must for u to learn on your own), or do you prefer to burn the whole house, eh Ammar, you want to accomplish setting us on fire ahbi?" I question but he nows his head, refusing to meet my eyes " kalla (look), you know you're the only one I haven't hit, beat or whipped, I intend to keep it that way, you're a good boy, you've always been. But I promise you if you do this rubbish again, I will beat you so bad your body will ache for weeks, you want that?" My threat paralyzed him for a good amount of time but then he rapidly shakes his head.

"I'm sorry jaaja Yus, I didn't mean it, I won't do it again, I promise" he begins to sob, I hug him and his cries slowly die down as he relaxes, "Ammar, lay down, I'm going to run you a bath" he does as told without any fuss.

I walk to my bathroom and fill the tub with chilled water, I walk back out and send him to the bath, "don't spoil that bathroom, Yumnah worked not too hard on it" I yell after him.

~Two months time skip.

Third persons POV

Time has gone by quickly, Amma gave birth to twins, mashaAllah, Su'ad, and Suwaid, very healthy kids.

"mom, they are so cute, Suwaid looks more like me, don't you think" Basma coes, and Amma giggles while shaking her head, every other individual blatantly express their disagreements and she pouts.

"I think they should have second names" Abba suggests and they all nod "Nawal" sultan mumbles while stroking Su'ad's cheek "that's a nice name" Yasmeen chirps and everyone agrees,  "Wat of Haneef for Suwaid," Amfal asks and they all think for a short while,  "it's Settled, Su'ad Nawal Khabeer and Suwaid Haneef Khabeer " Amma announced and they all cheer and applaud

Yumnah's POV

I hold Nawal while Basma holds Haneef, "Ya Yum, can I hold her Please" kamal begs and I laugh but then see his determined expression and I stop then make a face. Oh, he's serious.

"If I give you this child mum will kill both of us if a hair is missing from her head," I tell him in all seriousness and he pouts, after a while I nod then he claps and sits on the floor, I kneel in front of him and place Nawal in his hands.

"if I hear a squeak from her,  you won't touch her again till you're ten" I threatened jokingly and he laughs but nodded,  I smile then walk away.

Baffa was calling me anyway so I went to him,  he was with Ya Suraj. "Yumnah, you told me your friend is looking for a husband, well, I'm looking for a wife" he states I laugh a little at his straightforwardness, he chuckles along with me realizing how blatant he was.

Wait, I dont recall having a friend who wants to get married, those imbeciles are completely unserious about the topic if anything "look, it's not my friend that wants to marry, it's her elder sister" I explain thoughts of Maryam (my friend) would be looking for marriage go through my mind and I smile in amusement, she can't take care of herself talk less of a guy and his house.

He nods in understanding but goes on to ask about their address "can I get her address?, help your uncle out" I giggle along with ya Suraj. "OK, I'll write it down a little later" I smile and he nods then I leave, my uncle is young very young, he could be mistaken for my elder brother given that he just finished university and now has a job under my dad's friend.

I walk back to where I left Kamal and collect Nawal from him, she's supposed to eat now So I take her to Amma, I then collect Haneef as she takes Nawal.

I walk out and go to my room with him in hand, the peaceful child is completely knocked out, I write down the address and take it to Baffa Ameer. "the address, her name is Madeena" I inform while rocking the baby so the noise doesn't jostle him,  "can you follow me, we'll go this evening" he asks and I grin "sure, why not" he smiles then I happily walk away.

I go back to Amma's room and set Haneef down, I then go back to the room and find Yasmeen and Yusrah fighting, literally wrestling, I shake my head and go to the closet. You might ask why I don't Intervene, well for one, youuuuuu get tired of doing the same thing every other day since childhood. 

I then lock the door, pick out a white floral gown, and my peach after_dress that is decorated with flowers then change out of my tank top and jeans, I spay on a little perfume then sit in front of the mirror, brush my hair then fling the Vail on my head without wrapping it, I pick my black heels and leave the closet to still find the two dummies fighting,

I roll my eyes then pick up my phone and walk out, I go to the living room to sit with Abba, supposedly we're going with him. Baffa comes out dressed in an all-white shadda with Buba and all, a black cap on, with matching shoes

"Ameer, you look good enough to eat" Abba comments and I laugh while he turns his head in embarrassment "thanks yaya Khabeer "

"shall we"

"We shall"

We walk out and go to the car, I sit in the back while Baffa drives. We stop to pick up some gifts and snacks, the snacks are mostly for me tho.

My phone rings and I pick it up, call

Y: hey Sameer
S: hey Yummeen
Y: how are youñ
S: I'm good thanks
Y: what's going on, how are mom, dad, and ya Meer
   I inquire
S: they are all fine, you are feeling awful caring today aren't you
Y: I'm always like this
  The confusion evident in my voice
S: no, not always
Y: ( maybe he's talking about Yasmeen) yeah OK
  I agree nonetheless
S: so what are you up to
Y: well, nothing much, I can't say yet, I'll tell you a little later, you will laugh
S: So it that good, oya nau, I could wait
Y: ha, OK, bye
S: bye dear
Y: yeah OK

End call

"Why aren't we there yet" I groan, "oh, maybe because you're uncle's nervous and slowed down the car" my dad grumbled obviously annoyed by the situation but unlike him, I don't keep quiet, "Baffa!!, please" I groaned and he sighed then sped up, in no time we were in front of the house.

We dropped and almost immediately, Maryam( my friend) opened the door for us, we hugged and I whispered the reason we were here into her ear, she gasped then took a good look at Baffa. "MashaAllah, Deenu is so lucky" she shook her head in approval and moved aside, "Umma, Papa, we have guests for Madeena, it's a proposal" she yelled through the house.

Ya ilahi! Doesn't this girl know how to be discreet!
