Author p.o.v

Khalid woke up with a bad headache , groaning , he opened his eyes and the first person he saw was none other than Amira , the girl he despised the most, sleeping peacefully leaning on the bed headboard while his head was on her lap .

His eyes widen , realisation hits him like a ton of bricks , he moves away from her in lightning speed like her touch will burn him .

" Argh '' he held his head between his two hands as pain shot up inside his head badly .

Hearing his groan , Amira woke up lazily rubbing her eyes .

" Owe " she felt pain shoot up in her back .

" What the hell are you doing here "

" In my bed " Khalid snarls, getting ignited .

Lowering her eyes , she hissed in pain " wow you are such a grateful man " even in pain , she didn't leave a chance to taunt him .

AMIRA SULTAN p.o.v

What an ungrateful man , I spent the whole night sleeping in such an uncomfortable position and he doesn't even have courtesy to say at least you know Thank you I guess .

" Answer my damn questions " Khalid took a threatening step .

" Why the hell I was sleeping in your lap " he gritted out .

He doesn't remember a single thing last night .

" This is a reason you shouldn't drink , you lost your precious hours because you drank alcohol " I gave him a disappointed look .

" Shut up ! I am no need to hear your lecture "

" You know what , just get out " Khalid pointed at the door still giving me death glare .

I gasp " I wish , I would have left you rot in cold last night "

" Froze you mean " he sounds bored .

" Whatever " I stuck my tongue out before stomping my feet walking away .

" Assalamualaikum " I heard Sayra greet me in her childish voice .

" Walekum Assalam " I kneel down with a bright smile , seeing her always makes my day .

" I want pancakes " she twirls her curly hair .

" You want pancakes ! " I ask for a surprise .

" Then let's get you one " I picked her up , she giggled .

" What are y-" Ibrahim came with an angry face like always .

" Ahhh… the apple of my eye is here " I said in a high pitched voice .

He frown " stay away from my sister "

Sayra and I glanced at each other then she shook her head cutely .

I look at annoyed Ibrahim " sorry dude , she is mine now " I intentionally make a face to annoy him more .

" You are evil " he muttered looking down .

" Aww thanks for the compliment " I batted my eyes which made him angrier .

No wonder he is Khalid nephew

I made Sayra sit on the counter , while Ibrahim sat on the table throwing daggers in my way. I smiled secretly. I love how he is so ready to protect his siblings all the time , like a true big brother .

I wish I had one but then I remembered I have Allah s.w.t who always protects no matter what .

" Yeah… it's ready " Sayra raised her both hands in the air when I served pancakes on the plate .

Picking her up in my arm , I slid one plate toward Ibrahim while I made Sayra sit on my lap to make her eat .

" I don't want it " he pushed the plate grumpily .

" O . O. Ibrahim, did you forget what Nani said? Sayra spoke, making me look between them curious .

" What? " he said, annoyed.

" Allah s.w.t doesn't like people who disrespect food " with those wise words she made me stuff another spoon of pancakes .

To tell the truth I was surprised ….

Awwe my good girl … I just love her .

I glance at Ibrahim who looks at the food debating inside his head whether to eat or not .

Finally giving up , he dragged the plate toward him .

Taking a bite , I waited for his reaction .

His face turns into surprise as unknown emotion swirls on his face .

" It's just like " he whispered .

" Ammi " Sayra completed his sentence

Since the day I heard that Khalid's mother was alive , I became quite curious about it . I wanted to know where her mother was . I haven't seen her after getting married and asking Khalid about it would be the last option .

" Assalamualaikum what are you cooking?" I entered the kitchen to see Rabiya Aunty cooking something .

" Guess " she said in a teasing tone .

My lip curls into a smile " Biryani" I clasp my hand happily .

" Yes you are right " she sprinkled more salt on the potato .

Biting my lips , my curious mind encourage me to ask " umm Aunty can I ask you something ''

Absent-minded she nodded .

" Where do I mean Khalid's mother " I said, each word slowly scared of her reaction .

She stopped mixing the vegetables , and looked my way .

Then she smiled nervously " why are you asking all of a sudden " she tried to dodge my question .

" Khalid said his mother hates him …. Is she alive ?" I couldn't help but ask .

" Amira " she turn her full attention toward me .

" It's not my place to say and to say the truth please drop this topic of Khalid, hear you then " her voice faded with a creasing forehead .

" Sweetheart just don't talk about his mother please "

" It's a request " hearing her plea I realised the matter is more serious than I thought .

Nodding my head I drop the topic .

I roam in this huge house getting bored .

Everybody is doing their respective work , everyone is busy and here I am roaming like a ghost .

I saw Khalid in front of the entrance spacing from here and there holding his phone .

" Assalamualaikum...." I went to greet him with a bright smile .

He glances at me then looks away like I am invisible to him .

I frown " how rude I said Assalamualaikum"

" Hiiiiiiiiii..." I wave my hand in front of him.

" What are you doing " he ask in a scary voice glaring my way

I pout " I am bored "

" Can I go out? " I gave him my irresistible cute smile to melt his heart .

He stared at me " No " look away .

My smile dropped. I forgot he had a stone in the place if heart .

I stuck my tongue out behind his back , making weird faces. I let out my anger .

But he turned and I froze in my action, " puh.... Puh.... Puh... " I pretend to cough to get safe .

He gave me a weird look then turned away again .

I sigh....

I walk back in the house again with the saddest look I can carry .

Nafisa came in front of my view he chuckled seeing my face " what happen sweetheart .... Why are you looking so sad "

I gave her a bored look " first of all I am not your sweetheart second I am bored " I stomp my foot .

She tighten her hijab properly " okay what do you want to do "

" Before I could say anything I saw a few kids around Ibrahim age coming downstairs with a bored look .

" Ibrahim is so boring, " one of the kids said .

" All he can do is play his playstation " one kid sat on the couch.

I went to them just then Ibrahim came downstairs as well .

" What do you guys want to do? " Ibrahim looked and tried to please his friends .

My face shone with happiness " how about we play cricket in the garden " I chime in.

He gave me a disappointed look " what are you 6 "

My smile vanished " No but you guys are 12 and you should play some outdoor games like CRICKET ?"

" YES ! She is right , can you play with us please" the chubby kid , who looked so cute that I wanted to pull his cheek but I refrained myself as Ibrahim continued to glare my way .

" I don't think so Ibrahim want me to play" I spoke sadly giving him my best puppy look .

" Fine…!" My grumpy grandpa finally agreed .

" What '' Nafisa chuckled which sounded like what nonsense .

" Khalid bhai won't like it " she shook her in a disappointing way .

" Exactly, " Ibrahim added, crossing his arms with a smirk .

" I am bored Nafisa please pretty please " I folded my hand blinking my eyes rapidly .

" Okay...... But if bhai knows then " she raised her one eyebrow challenging .

" Then we will ask him to join us, " I said confidently .

" Yeah right !" Myra came .

" Khalid doesn't even smile " she cross her arm .

" And you are expecting him to play cricket, " she laughed .

" Well I am just being polite, '' I answered .

" Anyway " I clasp my hand .

" Who is ready to play ??" I question looking at their faces .

They all looked at eachother " we " they raised their hand .

I jumped happily " then let's go..."

Surprisingly other people joined us too in the garden as we divided the team .

" There will be two captain " I announced adjusting my cricket cap as all kid line in from of me .

" One will be obvious " I pointed my both hands toward my direction " Me " I nodded .

" Second will be -" I was cut off by Khalid voice .

" What's going on here " and here comes Khalid wearing black t-shirt with a V shape neck and with his broad chest . Why is he so handsome

" I ask what's going on " he claps his thumb in front of my face .

I glanced at everyone , they were all silent like they just saw a ghost appear in daylight .

I frown then look at the my dear husband confidently " we are playing cricket " I finish with a smile .

" You are playing cricket here ! In my house ?" He asked in disbelief .

" Yes I am in fact " I pointed the bat at everyone " we all are " I smirk .

He looked at me like I had grown two horns. " What are you six ??"

" That's what I said '' Ibrahim chuckled but quickly shut up when Khalid glanced his way .

Great, he is scared of Khalid too...

" I married you to make your life hell because your father betrayed me , you haven't come to a picnic YOU IDIOT ". He gritted .

I sigh " yeah I know you are a BIG BAD MAFIA " I said in a man voice .

I heard someone chuckled but the moment Khalid turn they all quiet down .

" You see Mr. Mafia , we " I pointed at us " are human being and we are tend to get bored "

" Human nature you know " I shrugged " so if you excuse us " I put the bat on my shoulder .

" Some serious cricket match is going to start here " I adjusted my cap again for style .

He stared at me for a few seconds okay okay glared at me !

He shook his head " idiot " he muttered annoyed then started to walk away when I called him out .

" MR. Mafia would you like to join us " I shouted .

I heard gasps from Rabiya and Ayesha aunty who were our empire .

He stop then look at me " I don't play with kids " with that he was about to turn when my big mouth open again

" You don't play with kids or you are just scared that you will lose " I smirk .

" Amira... " Nafisa tried to stop me but I raised my hand giving her signal that I can manage .

" You think you can beat me? " he asked arrogantly .

" Easily " I replied with the same tone .

Hel walk toward me again staring intensely " Challenge accepted "
