That was unexpected and it took me some minutes to let it sank in my head. I couldn't blame myself it was not like everyday you'd meet breastfeeding siblings. As strange as it sounds it was a tradition in rich families of Arabs before Islam and it was an important point to let people knew that if babies are breastfeed from the same woman they were siblings as the biological ones so it was normal to see the great bond between Adam and Rokaya they were like twins.

"How is that?" I couldn't help but ask.

"As you see, Rokaya's mom feed me when I was about 2 months old and Rokaya was about 3 or a bit more" Adam said but I was still curious to know more.

"And why your mom didn't feed you?"

"When I was born I was weak and when mom caught a fever she didn't want to feed me on nothing but natural milk and she didn't want me to catch her fever so as Rokaya's mom and mine were neighbours and friends Rokaya's mom feed me for about a week or so that means I and Rokaya are siblings and I won't joke around with girls in front of my older sister" he explained and the sarcasm was obvious at the last part.

"Oh" that was all I could say it was new information and I wasn't familiar with such situations. Breastfeeding Siblings was something I knew nothing about except that they weren't to marry I didn't think it was like normal siblings. I shrugged the thought and greeted my new to be sister in law properly. Wait! Did I just say sister in law? As if I'd marry that Adam.

We talked and joked about many things and they told me about their childhood stories and Rokaya told me that she was on a trip with her mom and dad and that was why she couldn't make it to the engagement and also she said that we as in Adam and me made a cute couple , all the people who saw us said the same what a great complement 'note the sarcasm'. We played with little Adam and I ran after him more like walked after him in his adorable penguin walk due to his diaper, he was just too cute that I was about to eat his chubby cheeks and small nose oh or his tiny little few teeth when he laughed. He was just too adorable to handle.

I prayed silently for Nader to have such cute creature to be able to play with.

When I was about to sleep which was a little early cause I was up from fajr prayer I couldn't help but remember Rokaya and Adam and his playful self with her I knew she was his sister but I felt a little jealous I didn't know why in the first place I'd feel jealous on Adam but I wished if he was like that with me too. I wished I could have that playful and teasing side from him. He was just too strict when it came to anyone not family. I wished he was like Zain.

"Don't expect anything from my brother before marriage" I remembered Amira's words.

By these thoughts I drifted to sleep.

"...she was jumping on seeing me and I wanted nothing but slap her arm from his shoulder , the girl was beautiful , her eyes or her body or ..."

"Cut it Nada stop talking about the girl it's not right" Noor cut me angrily when I was telling the guys about Rokaya I didn't know why she got so worked I didn't say anything bad about her.

"What's your problem now I didn't say any bad stuff about the girl" I said annoyed that she cut me while speaking.

"Yeah, right" she said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes at her childishness "but I'm not joking it's not right to backbiting the girl and describe her like that especially in the presence of boys" she suddenly said all seriously. I admit I thought about what she said wisely but the big ego I had made me argue.

"One"I raised a finger to her "I'm not backbiting , two" I raised another finger "it's not that bad they are good boys" I flashed her a smile which she returned by a glare.

"Do you like it when people talk about you behind your back Nada" after what felt like forever she said that out of nowhere, I gave her a confident smile

"Yeah Because they are in my back dear not something big" she grinned and suddenly it hit me I just said that I was in lower level than Rokaya by that big ego of me. Ugh how could I be that stupid and not think about it as a trick.

"Anyway, stop being stubborn and don't talk about the girl I don't think Adam will like it if his sister was talken about" Noor said calmly and all that conversation Silvia, Matt and Zain were looking at us waiting for the winner of the argument, see my friends were the best 'note the sarcasm'

"I see you care about his feelings more than me why didn't you convince him to marry you instead" I didn't like to lose so I just said anything to annoy her but I didn't want that to ever happen and I didn't know why when I said it I felt a sudden fear.

"Cut the childish act Nada you're unbelievable. You sure you're 21 I see you're only 5. And for your small brain I meant what I said it's like someone talk about you for Nader" her sudden outburst made me take a step back but I stood my ground thinking of her words.

why I was being that childish?!

Because your big ego was hurt by seeing Noor won the argument. My inner voice said sarcastically.

Yeah I was acting like a 5 years old spoiled brat.
