Nausheen was blessed with twins; one boy and one girl. Anahita played with the toddlers- Faiz and Firdous.
"My mother-in-law named them." She rolled her eyes.

A middle-aged woman came with a tray carrying tea in porcelain cups. Behind her, Badi Ammi walked into the living room.
"Are you girls enjoying the reunion?"
"Yes." Nausheen was her usual excited self. Anahita nodded. She took the teacup with grace. The maid got busy plating biscuits.

Anahita's head shot in the voice's direction. Husna stood at the door, casting a glare toward her. Nausheen sighed. She reached out to hold Anahita's hand.
