Slowly drifting

chapter 3

Aisha

I cried my eyes out. I felt so useless. Like I'm a huge burden. Sometimes I wonder if life could get a little bit nicer. I'm trying. I get back myself together.

"Sister can I come closer? I know you don't like disturbance in this kind of situations but I can't afford to see you like this". Fatima said with little tears in her eyes.

"Come and sit next to me Habibty" I wiped up my tears and smiled at her.

"Why are you and mom always like this?"

"That's nothing to worry about dear. You will soon  be a senior in school are you excited?" I changed the topic

"I am really excited sis. Now the Seniors won't control me too. But I am just hoping to pass my exams." She said.

"Let's make some plans". I said.

My little sister Fatima is everything to me. She is the reason why I will never give up. I will give her everything she want. I will give all the love and care in this world. She is the apple of my eyes.

Muhammad

I'm laying on my bed doing absolutely nothing.

"Muhammad" mama shouted and cut off my sleep.
"Mama can I have some sleep this weekend please?"

Why do moms love distracting our sleep? I said as I get out of bed.

"Son we are going out with your siblings. Are you coming?" Dad asked.
"No Dad I really got some stuffs to get done" I politely replied.

I sat down in my room lost in my thoughts. I am really determined to change the whole story. I must reach were I wanted to be. My parent have done there best and is my time to buckle up...

I was in this situation and I remembered Aisha.

I quickly texted her  and we get into deep convo.

Aisha

"Come out food is ready" mama screamed.

Urgh! She always cut off my enjoyments.I walked out to the living room.

"Good afternoon " I said and grab my food.

" Good afternoon. What's happening? Why are you so excited?" She asked

" ohh Allah! So been happy is now a crime right? You always want to see me sad right mom?". I glared at her.

" what kind of person are you Aisha? You look so excited and what the crime of a mother wanting to know about her own daughter?". She replied.

"alright mom nothing serious " I said.

"I cooked your favorite dish" she said.
" yes mom I liked it a lot" I smiled knowing that's her way of apologizing.

We spend some good time together with mom. Even though things are not always good, moment like this make things much better. I decided to go inside after sitting for a while.

"sister please tell me why are you excited" fatima asked.

"why can't I be happy without bothering you guys? Literally?" I said looking at her.

" know you won't hide anything from me right". She glared at me with her innocent charming eyes.

"alright! I was communicating with someone and I really feel comfortable". I said.

"are you sure that's all? Tell me how you met."  She move and sat close to me.

I narrated everything on how I met Muhammad.

"are you sure that's all?"

"I also don't know fatima" I tickle her.

"so you liked him?" She said out loud.

"Calm down silly girl. What if mom hear you" I closed her mouth.

"Tell me please sis" she said innocently.

I take a deep breath, correct my position and looked at her. " dear my little munchkin fatima, your sister Aisha is into a guys called Muhammad. What else do you want to know?" I stared at her

"My sis is in love again" she said out loud.

"You are so silly calm down" I placed my head on her shoulder.

"But what he don't like me back?" I asked.

" there's no way babe! Hot cake like you" she said laughing.
