"Ya Ameera let's take a picture it's my turn Umma has been hoarding you to herself all day long" Her youngest brother Mubarak complained.
"Ha! don't even sweat it Mubarak Umma isn't giving anybody a chance with her most beloved daughter today" her elder brother Suhail remarked with a grin on his face
"Congratulations and I am proud of you little sister" he ruffled her hair
"Hey don't do that I am not a kid anymore" ameera said with a pout " in case you haven't noticed I have graduated from secondary school"
He burst out in laughter " su graduate manya. How you manage to push out those tiny things you call lips beats me"
The rest of the family joined in
"Umma kin gan su Ko"
"Ah a fa! Don't stress my darling " umma cautioned jokingly
"Look at this brat" Suhail exclaimed
"Suhail let your sister be can't you see she is all grown up now that she will be starting university very soon"
"As if. This little imp is still underaged. Remind me how old you are again"
"Still 17" her annoying younger brother sulieman offered
"Whatever I am still older" she stuck out her tongue at him
Baba hugged her closer "my little princess is still a baby no matter her age" he pulled on her cheeks
"Babaaaaaaaa" Ameera whined
They were all gathered at thier leaving room having family quality time after a long day at Ameera's graduation.
"So now tell me what do you want to study at the university" baba asked
Before she could reply umma championed "ai it has been decided my baby will be studying law in ShaaAllah. I want to be addressed as Umma Barrister"
"Yes that. What umma said" Ameera Concurred
"Then you will be schooling here in Nigeria kenan" Baba said
"Of course. Even if it were any other course she will still school here in Nigeria and close to home nonetheless." Umma remarked
"I agree with you absolutely on that umma"
Ameera snickered at Suhail " of course you won't have my back. You are always against what I want" she finished with tears in her eyes
"Oh darling sister it's for your own good. Seriously there is no malice intended" he reached out to hold her hand but she rose sharply and went to their father
"Baba ka ji please I want to study abroad as well just like all my friends. We even choose a school together"
"Toh yar gidan baba" he replied lovingly
"We will discuss this later lets not dampen the joys mood right now"
