Ayesha’s POV

 It was a nice sunny day, sunlight was shining in through my bedroom window, birds were chirping their sweet unknown songs outside. I felt a steady warm breeze blowing in and the smell of breakfast suddenly hit my nose. A sudden realization hit me!

Today is Sunday! The day the suitor and his family are coming to see me! I checked the time. Oh no!! its 10:30! Why didn’t anybody wake me up?

I hurriedly hopped in the bathroom, brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. When I came out I saw my sister-in-law Asma strolling in my room. She looked worried.

“Assalamu alaykum. Is everything okay Asma? U look tensed.” I told her

“Wa alaykum salaam. Nothing’s okay Ayesha! The suitor and his family are already here! They’re calling you! hurry up. They are early risers not like you. Couldn’t you wake up early today atleast?!”

“WHAT?!!!!! THEY.ARE. ALREADY HERE?!!! Omg omg omg!! I’m not even ready!!! What am I going to do now?! Somebody kill me now!!”

Why are they here so early?! How will I face them? Omg!!

“Yeah, that’s what happens when you wake up late!”

“Oh come on, it’s not my fault ok? It’s a habit. For now help me! I’m so dead!!”

I started walking up and down in my room. I’m doomed…like totally.

Asma just stood there silently. Why is she not saying anything now? When I looked at her something in her hand caught my eye. It was a black plastic bag. I looked at Asma and noticed she was smirking.

“Asma, did you just FOOL ME?!” I asked annoyed

“Gotcha!!” she said grinning mischievously’

“I should have known! I so hate you! You scared the potatoes out of me! You’re not getting away with this girl! Watch out!” I exclaimed as I ran after her.

She started giggling and before I knew it she ran into my bathroom and locked the door.

Oh not again!

Knock knock knock

“Asma, open up! Right now!!”

“Hahaha no way!”

“Yes way! Come on open up! Is the little mouse scared of the already furious cat?” I said, emphasizing the word mouse.

“Ha! You wish! And I’m not a mouse.”

“Fine if you’re not opening the door I’ll break it.”

“Do whatever you want Aysh!”

“Oh you want to be like that now? Fine. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you. You asked for it!”

No response. Ok Asma here I come.

I went a few steps back from the door and ran towards the door like an angry bull. Just as I was about to break the door down, the door opened and I ran straight and fell in the bath tub.

Splash!

Asma was standing by the door and as soon as she saw what happened, she erupted into laughter! Oh this woman! Her face soon turned serious when she saw the look on my face. She was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

“Sorry Aysh. It wasn’t intentional I swear!” she now looked worried.

“Are you ok?” she asked, offering me her hand.
