"We need explanation, Shizad" said Lamiah and crossed her legs not before clearing her throat.

Bilal nodded who was sitting beside his sister on the couch and Ruaa standing beside her husband watching closely. Abdul Shizad sat opposite his siblings and kept quite until Lamiah spoke again with the same question.

"Actually......" he looked at his elder brother, who wore a very serious face and was waiting for his reply then he looked at his elder sister who was fuming in anger for not telling her anything about yesterday "Actually Lamiah......." Shizad slumped his shoulder in defeat and whispered "There is no way to get out of this Shizad"

Just when he looked up he saw his twin standing beside Lamiah "It was just a normal fight between Addy and his friend!"

"Normal? Normal, in which Addy's eyes and lips are like this? And look at his hand! Haroon, you know everything about this right?" asked Lamiah.

"Umm..... Yeah! Lamiah nothing was serious! You guys calm down!" said Haroon and sat beside his twin and gave him an assuring smile.

"Haroon just tell us now! If not I am going to your university" said Lamiah.

"Lamiah! I am not a high schooler" said Shizad.

"Addy! Just tell us!"

Abdul Shizad looked at his sister-in-law who was giving him a sad look, beside Haroon, Ruaa also got to know about this, when she went to call the twins for dinner, but stopped when she overheared their conversation, the twins asked her not to tell their siblings and she accepted.

"Lamiah calm down! He will tell us everything! First dress his wounds!" said Ruaa and smiled at Shizad.

"Yeah! You didn't even dress it, Addy!"

"I did but it was a fail! And Haroon was not a help either!" replied Shizad.

"Harry! I want to know everything!" said Bilal and motioned Haroon to follow him. Bilal stood up and went near the stairs.

"Akhi.... It was not.... " started Haroon but the elder one stopped him.

"Harry! I am not gonna buy your lies! Just tell me the truth already!" said Bilal

"Okay"

When Haroon told everything to his older brother, his brother fumed in anger and tried to calm himself down "Are you guys nuts? Why didn't you tell me about this Harry?...... Addy got suspended?"

"No.... Not Addy! Rashid! Don't worry everything's fine now!" said Haroon and smiled at his older brother who returned the exact same smile.

"But you guys should have tell me about this!"

"Sorry!"

"Next time anything happens to the both of you..... First you guys should come to me and tell everything!" ordered Bilal.

"Okay, sir!"

"Ummaya! I am fine!" said Haniya and carefully sat on the couch with Rida's help.

"You are not fine, Haniya! Eat this porridge for five more days and you will be better, inshallah!"said Umm Hammad and kept the bowl full of porridge infront of Haniya and gave a gorgeous smile.

"Ummaya! I hate porridge! I just can't eat it anymore!" said Lamiah.

"Don't say like that Haniya! Come on, finish it!" said Umm Hammad and left the living room to serve her husband his morning tea.
