Unforgettable

Chapter 2

Last night was fun at the same time tiring.Risha woke up early to reciprocate yesterdays surprise by preparing breakfast for them,which was usually made by Laila and Nadir.Risha is an excellent cook but feels lazy to enter the kitchen.She even made baby formula for Niya."How lucky they are today."she thought to herself.Nadir yawn as he descends the stairs,followed by Aisha already dressed for the day.She never comes out of her room in her night gown even when dad was alive.Nadir tried to grab an apple from the table but Risha gave him a quick slap behind his palm."save it for later, go and brush your teeth and take your bath as well.No need to rush, because today is sunday."Risha pulled his back until they collided with their mom."Good morning mom"they both chorused
"Morning my darling babies"she said giving them both a peck on the cheek."Mom,see what Isha is doing to me."he said with his face as innocent as a child.
"Nadir dear"
"Yes mom"he responded "I really don't want anybody to starve today especially you my last baby "Aisha said with a pout and held his two cheeks massaging them playfully.
"Don't forget,the kitchen was not for you and Laila today."a chuckle interrupted their early drama.Laila also came out beautifully dressed as usual with Niya in her arms."Brother Nadir,you should understand what mom is saying. Please don't let history repeat itself "they all gave a loud laughter startling Niya to drop her jingles."You should know by now that whenever Risha prepares breakfast,no one comes to the table without brushing or bathing,but you always forget this."reminded Laila with a giggle. Nadir gasps and lightly hit his temple. Risha, who held her waist watching all this drama directed a smirk towards her little brother."You know I love you more right,now come on and go and freshen up ok my baby brother."Risha said stroking his soft silky hair. She is just two years older than him but treats him like a newborn.He is now in saphormore year and will soon be in his final year.Being the last born and the only girl among two boys have been more than a blessing to Nadir and Risha."Double my favourite if u want me to freshen up"he said climbing up the stairs to his room."No problem little brother"Risha said giggling along side.
After having breakfast,Yasir went to the study room to continue his work.He runs one of the renowned baby food industry in Mumbai, which was owned by their dad.Laila went to visit her mom and dad along with Niya.Nadir is getting ready to go back to school since the summer vacation ends today.He studies business administration in cambridge university.His plans were to help his brother run the company after graduation.
"Risha please stop watching the movie and help pack my books before mom comes back from the hospital"Nadir said taking the bowl full of pop corn from her lap.
"Alright fine.I told you to wait till next week.what will happen if you delay a week more.Now mom has to take the trouble of escorting you back.You are lucky she has an appointment with doctor Arnold for further check up.l
Risha said in annoyance,getting up to do as he wished.She had wanted to take him to school this time around because Yasir does that always.Of cause Nadir is old enough to go to school, but he likes it when he is escorted to show his beloved family off.They mean everything to each other. Shockingly, they were all hospitalized when their dad died except Yasir.Laila wasn't part of the family at that time.They finished putting everything together and went to inform Yasir they are ready to go to the airport."Brother Yasir"Nadir called from behind the closed door.
"Shall we go"he said waiting for a response. Yasir came out with stress written all over his face but never gives up or says it out.Without asking for it,Risha brought a cup of juice for him"Take it easy.Your health is more important than the company"she said handling the juice over to him.He gave her a sincere smile and stroked her long silky hair which is dark but brownish at the tip.Risha is pretty inside and out.Their dad use to say she was the peace and joy of the house since childhood. He knew they were never going to get a baby girl after having Risha,so they all raised her like a flower.Never getting withered but always fresh."Risha, bring mom's luggage from her room. We will pick her from the hospital. Nadir, bring your things to the car.Hurry up"
"Yes brother. But what about sister in law"Nadir asked curiously
"She is already at the airport"he answered.
Few minutes later,they pulled at the airport after picking Aisha their mom from the hospital.She went for her report from their family doc for further check up in the states.She became a heart patient when her husband died.Their dad left a deep scar on their hearts.They sometimes doubt the death of their dad,because his body was never recovered during and after the accident.They just got a DNA test of the body found in his car indicating it was his.The accident still remains a mystery but they never say anything about it.
"Whose luggage is that"Risha asked with a shocked expression pointing to the bag in front of Laila"Sis Laila,don't tell me you are going with mom please"she said as if going to cry.Yasir placed his arm across her neck and gave her a peck on her temple.Nadir mimicked her expression and held her two hands."Come on Risha,is just a week.I know if I tell you am going along, you wouldn't agree to it but convince mother to make me stay."Laila said with a pleading face "You know I can't leave mother alone."she whispered to her, gesturing her to look over to where her mom stands.
"But aunt and uncle wasim are there to assist her.Even Mira and Afaan are around as well to take her in and out."she protested."Risha dear,I can't always trouble my sister and her family you know.I feel like a burden whenever I go there."Risha hugged her mom sobbing like a child.She doesn't like to be home alone.Only she knows the trauma she suffers at night when she knows the house is empty,but never speaks about it.Her psychiatrist told her she suffers from depression,but she thinks there is no stress in her profession as a dietitian,so she wonders what causes
that."Is time to go guys"Nadir said breaking the silent and emotional moment. Risha hugged Nadir tightly like never letting go."I will really miss my peanut Niya.You have to bring them all back ok"Niya blinked and clapped her tiny hands as if she understood what her aunt said to her.
"I will miss you.Take care of mom and yourself as well"Risha said hugging Laila.Yasir took Niya and played with her before giving Aisha and Laila a kiss on the forehead.
"Why am I left out brother?"they turn to look at jealous Nadir and burst out with laughter.Yasir gave him a brotherly hug and let go.
"Let them go Risha." Says Yasir.
"Dear,you turned 23 yesterday,You should bring someone home by now.I hope to meet a suitor upon my return." Aisha said as if knowing the blessings knocking at her doorsteps.She left blushing Risha speechless, who suddenly turned red at her moms statement. "Take care of the house please"their mom said before leaving.
"Are you ok"Yasir asked Risha after they left.
"Yh I am.Lets eat dinner out,I don't feel like preparing dinner.Please"
"No problem."Yasir agreed.
