Out of Nowhere

Water Guns

I had been enjoying my time with the guys and girls, they were really nice. Right now we were all hanging in my room with my siblings. My sister Sarah was sitting on my bed bottle feeding her 2 year old son Amir.

"He's so cute." Fatima pouted as she played with Amirs small hands.

"Thank you." Sarah smiled at Fatima.

"I want a son." I awed.

"Whoa get married first." Yunus my older brother by three years nudged me.

"Who's gonna marry her bhai?" (Bhai=a respectful term for older brother), my younger brother Hadi said, he was 15.

The boys laughed at Hadis 'amazing' joke.

"Very original." I hummed. "Someone will marry me."

"Speaking of marriage how come no ones pressuring you to get married?" Sarah asked Yunus who shrugged.

"It's cause he's a guy, they're not rushed to get married it's the females who are rushed to get married and that's why a lot of them end up marrying a 30 year old." I scoffed.

"Don't get married then you have time." Adam assured me.

"It's not that, I do want to get married it's just stressful cause they're pressuring me and I haven't even found anyone yet." I stated, Sarah spoke up.

"Well you know Haseebs brother is like two years older than you, he's a great guy maybe you two could talk." Sarah shrugged.

"We do talk." I Said with confusion.

"She means talk like you know....talk." Yusha shrugged. Hadi looked at yusha with a smile.

"You don't know what baji means either huh?" (Baji= respectful term for older sister)

"Nope."

"Well no offense Appi (another respectful term for older sister) but like, you're kinda intimidating to boys maybe that's why." Hadi shrugged.

"She shouldn't have to tone down her personality to make men comfortable, if they don't like her for her then they're not worth it." Harris defended.

"You know if you never get married Harris will definitely still be single just marry him." AJ joked making us laugh.

"Great idea." I joked. "Seriously though Yunus do something you're my older brother tell mama to back off a bit."

"I will don't worry." He patted my head. "Just focus on the rest of your schooling and don't pay attention to finding someone it'll be easier that way."

"He's right it's harder to find something or someone when you're trying." Ruenelle shrugged.

"That's such bull." Aaishah shook her head.

"I know but that's how it is." Jay stated.

"Just don't look." Fatima Said, the girls and I stared at her.

"Easy for you to say you're talking to someone." Sarah chuckled.

"You're married though." Fatima Said.

"Yeah I know I'm just saying on these two girls behalf." Sarah shrugged.

"What if I married Zayn? Wouldn't that be so cool?"
