getting ready i went down and said my salam to my mother after she replied i asked her about shuaib's whereabouts only to find that my cousin amina is coming ...amina  is my friend and my best cousin ,whenever she comes here we have a lot of fun ..

"where is sulaiman?'" i asked my mom                                                                                                                         " he has gone with shuaib" my mom answered ..nodding i finished my breakfast and started helping my mother in the chores.. as i was cleaning my room my phone rang showing anna ,we chatted for half an hour ,after hanging the call the bell rang , as i rushed down i saw amina and gave her a tight hug  in return she pulled me back and said                                                                               "sam, i want to live more before i die " after welcoming her we went to the sitting area and were chatting,joking,laughing ... soon after shuaib's phone rang he excused himself and went to receive the call. that's so unusual of him ...after my dad's arival we all had our had our lunch together ,everyone was in a jolly mood except shuaib . he ate quietly occasionally opening his mouth when asked a question ...

"so , how was your flight ?" i asked amina as we sat in my bed                                       

"it was tiring " she said in a dull voice 

"rest for sometimes, till that i will finish my homework" i said her ..nodding she lay down and i started completing my homework.

it was past maghrib , we all were sitting in the lawn and were having snacks and were cherishing our memories of childhood when all of the sudden the door barged and revealing my brother he didnt bother to say salam to anyone and went directly to his room ,we all stared eachother in uncomfortable silence for few mins before i decided to go and speak to him ....when i reached his room i i knocked on the door receiving no answer so i slowly opened the door to only check shuaib sleeping on the couch ..i silently went inside and removed his socks and put a blanket on top of him ....

"what happened to him" asked amina , when i came out of his room .

"don't know,he is acting weird lately ,right now he is sleeping " 

"ooh, maybe some work tension,let him rest for now " 

"yeah,com'on lets go to my room , i have to show you something " with that , i gave a challenging look to her and began to ran towards my room...

"you traitor! you pushed me and i wasn't ready for the challenge either " she said coming to my room panting hard ...

"losers always have  excuses "i said laughing hard , she rolled her eyes 

"amy , stop checking , there's no brain in you" i said rolling on the floor laughing 

you!!! stupid! idiot!donkey! what sin did i do to get a sister like this " she said while trying to control her anger ...

" oh dear i am sure you did a great reward to find a sister like me " i fangirled myself..

" stop fangirling yourself , i seriously pity your husband " she said 

" oh really! and for what joy you pity my husband ?" i asked her 

"it's as simple sam i pity him because he got a wife like you "

oh pleasee!!!! he is the most luckiest man in the whole world to have a wife like me " i said her , and we both started laughing hard ...

"lets watch a movie" i said after we both were calmed a bit "

shuaib's pov

i woke up suddenly having a severe headache , i tried to get up but a sharp pain hit my neck , i looked around my surroundings only to find i slept on a couch in a uncomfortable positions ... after sometimes i got up and took a bath ..it was past midnight everyone will be sleeping now so i went to kitchen to eat something as my stomach was grumbling , i saw a figure near the fridge only to find out it was amina , i coughed making my presence known to her...she quickly covered her hairs and turned around ..

"you are awake ?" she asked me amused 

" yeah, were u waiting for me ?" i asked her back waiting for her reply 

"umm..no.. actually i came to drink water ?" she said it more like a question , i chuckled 

"are you hungry ?" she asked me after a while , i nodded

"the food is in the fridge, i will heat it for you" before i could stop her she started heating up the food ..i sat there for a while ..after 5 mins she gave me a plate filled with fried rice and kabab , i ate as if i was hungry for ages ..after eating i washed the plates and come back to my room , i checked the time , i have half an hour before the fajr prayer so i made wuddhu and prayed tahajjud ..praying for ALLAH SWT to help me and my family from danger ...

after  i prayed my fajr salah i came out of the mosque and checked my phone to find out a message from an unknown number, which made my blood boil........
