Yasmin stirred the chicken before closing the oven,she leaned against the counter and she sighed.She looked down to smile at Cake who rubbed his body against her legs,she turned to switch off the stove before picking cake up.

“I think you’re hungry.Let’s go feed your tummy and mine after that.” She put him back down before making her way to the cabinet where his food was kept,she poured his food out into his bowl before going to wash her hands.

She took the dish out of the over,placing it on the stove and dished out for herself in a plate when the intercom for the gate buzzed.She went to the intercom receiver,pressing the talk button and smiling when she saw Fatima bhabi’s face on the receiver.

“I’m opening.” She pressed the button to open the gate while reaching for her scarf which she threw onto her head,putting the two ends over her shoulder while she walked to go open the door.She opened the door with a smile,pressing the button to close the gate when Fatima bhabi’s car was in.

“As salaam mu alaykum bahbi,Husna.” They hugged and Yasmin lead them into the house,pulling her scarf off.

“Damn this house sounds haunted with bhai not here.” Husna commented once they sat down and Yasmin nodded her head.

“Yeah.Proof he makes the most noise in our house.”

“How’s living alone been?”

“It’s been well lonely but I’m not losing my marbles cause I have Cake who gives me company.”

“Where is that cutie?”

Yasmin pointed at the kitchen,“His having lunch.Oh gosh,it’s lunch time.Come let me dish out for us to eat.” Yasmin stood up while Fatima bhabi shook her head.

“Don’t make more dishes for yourself.We’ll dish out from the pot.What did you make?Omg we such hongras.”

Husna smiled at Fatima bhabi,“Talk about yourself,bhabi.I’m not a hongra I’m just hungry since I refused to eat my sister-in-law’s raw food.”

The two sister-in-law’s looked at her shocked slash surprised,“Wait who’s food?”

Husna sighed at Yasmin’s question,“My sister-in-law is back home,her husband sent her back and now I was stuck there since my husband tried to figure out why the hell did he send her back.Then she cooked but he told me not to eat the food cause it was probably raw then my mother-in-law shouted her for serving raw food and then they had a fight,and we left so I’m hungry.”

Yasmin stared at her,shocked,“May Allah make it easy on your families.Come let’s feed you’ll.”

Just when they finished and sat down talking with Netflix playing in the background when Yasmin’s phone rang.Yasmin picked it up smiling when she saw Huzaifa’s name flash on the phone.She swiped the answer icon and put the phone to her ear.

“As salaam mu alaykum.”

“Wa alaykum mu salaam love.What are you doing?”

Yasmin gazed at her sister-in-law’s,“Bhabi and Husna are here to visit me.We just had lunch now we got Netflix on and you?”

“Just got back from my meeting.I’m going to have food then nap.”

“Is that bhai?” Husna asked,Yasmin nodded her head,“Tell him I said hi and he must bring me something back from Toronto.”
