They couldn't wait for the moment of their reunion. Khaleel, twenty-six; Zaid, twenty-four; Yousuf, twenty-two; Taha, twenty; were away for the time being.
Taha gushed, "I can't wait to see my baby girl!" "Yeah, I can't wait to see her too, my lil' munchkin!" Khaleel said with a distant, fond expression. Zaid sighed, "So, we all miss her, huh?" Yousef looked at his brother as if he's an alien. "Ofcourse we do, idiot! I miss my princess so much that it's indescribable!"
They are related to that one girl they miss. Her name is Ruqaiyah Ubayd, the only daughter of Anwar Ubayd, cousin and husband of Deena Ubayd, and their two youngest sons, Hamza and Bilal Ubayd.
The brothers exited the airport, waiting for their drive. A limo car passed them, then, returned to them. The driver hopped off the car, running towards the brothers. He took their luggages and put it in the truck, opened each and every door, saluting, letting them enter.
"Welcome back, Misters! You can't imagine how much the young Miss Ubayd misses you!" Abdul Wahab, the driver exclaimed. The brothers either smiled, grinned, chuckled or shook their head. "We miss her too! How have the young Ubayd misters been without any of us?"
"They are great, Alhamdulillah! Just like their older sister, they miss you," with his eyes on the road, Wahab said. The boys couldn't wait for their arrival, to the Zunaib Manor House, their residence.
As soon as the house, well - mansion was infront of them, the boys hopped off the limo, excited to see her, to see them.
Taha, being the most excited out of his brothers, ran towards the mansion, ringing the doorbell, one after the other.
Inside, Ruqaiyah went to grab the door. When she opened, she couldn't believe who she saw at the door. Her elder brothers, side by side. "Khaleel!" she yelled, throwing herself at him, wrapping her legs around his torso, her head in his neck, hugging him tightly.
Khaleel tumbled at first, but steadied himself to not fall with his sister in his arms. Yeah, they were the former Ubayd gentlemen.
Taha grunted, crossing his arms, slightly pouting; Ruqaiyah giggled at his silliness. Clearly, he was jealous for not getting any attention from his baby girl.
"Aww, silly Tahu! Ofcourse I won't forget giving you your required attention, but can you blame me? Lee was the most one away and the last time I saw him was in the airport, when he left for military." What she said was logic, but again, can you blame him for missing his favourite baby girl?
Khaleel released his grip on his lil' munchkin, giving her a chance to hug the others. Taha rushed to hug her first, thanks to being jealous and possessive.
"Oh, how much I missed you and your hugs, Teddy!" To anyone, it may be embarrassing to be called a Teddy especially since you give the best hugs out there, but to Taha, it wasn't. It was a blessing to be known as 'Tahu the Teddy' in the Ubayd family.
Not like his eldest brother, Mr. Teddy stayed in his baby girl's arms a little bit longer than necessary. It wasn't until, Zaid, pushed them apart.
"What the hell, dude?! Why did you do that? You simply just ruined the best moment in my freaking life!" Taha whined.
Zaid raised a brow of his at his brother. If looks could kill, then, Taha would be six inches under. "I'm sorry, she's all yours, now."
Zaid sighed, nodding at his brother in approval, engulfing his only sister in a hug, twirling her around. Putting her back down, he asked, "How are you, kiddo? Have you been treated alright?"
Ruqaiyah nodded, smiling at her brother's concern. "I'm fine, Alhamdulillah, Bubba, and don't worry, I've been treated the best."
"Okay, time's up, my turn!" Yousuf took Ruqaiyah aside, his princess. He caressed her cheek, his eyes roaming her grinning face. "Y'know, I missed you quite a lot, don't you?" She nodded without any hesitation, "It may have been an unexpected visit, but it was the best, Yousu, thank you!"
"You're welcome, Princess Ubayd!"
