And it ends :(.

******

There were only two days left in Eid and now the whole house was upside down with all the cleaning and things happening she cannot even understand where her days go. It was almost a month she is here and so much happened.

She remembers when she was asked the marriage question but she ignores it. She is just 20 years old and she hasn't actually thought about it much.

"Bhai, mama said she was trying to call you but your phone was busy". She said walking towards her brother with her phone

"Baba". Her brother said looking at her signalling to his phone

She takes his phone handing him her phone.

"So, is everything ok?". Her father asked awkwardly

Yes, her relationship with her father is not the best. She doesn't know why her father doesn't try to make her feel comfortable but she came in term with whatever her relationship is with him. He never spoke in her any affairs and all her rights are with her mother exclusively.

On the other hand, her brother and her mother relationship are amazing. She loves him with all her life just like she loves her. And her brother and father relationship is also the best.

"She worries too much". Her brother said smiling

She fakes a smile after her father ended the call just asking one question which she didn't even reply to handing the phone back to her brother.

"I need to call Maryam". She said hurriedly

"Oh! I wanted to speak to her too". Her brother said stopping her movement

"Maryam who?". Her grandfather asked confused

"She is our sister". Her brother said happily

Everyone looks at them confused waiting for them to explain.

"Actually she is our adopted sister. Ammi adopted Maryam when I was 4 and Maryam was 6 back then". Hoorain explained smiling

"Your mother adopted a child?". Her chachi asked shocked

She nodded, "Yes. She loved Maryam and I loved her when we went to the orphanage to distribute some clothes. It took time but she was firm on it".

"Yes. She is married now". Azaan said proudly

"Why didn't you bring her too?. I would have love to meet her". Her grandfather said sadly

"She is busy in her marriage". Hoorain said smiling hugging her grandfather, "Next time".

"If I have time left". Her grandfather said smiling patting her cheeks

"Don't speak like that". She said frowning

Her grandfather smiles patting her cheeks lovingly, "I am old now".

She looks at him fake angry," Who said that?. You are still young".

They laugh at her comment and just like that her another day went by.

The next day she hangs from the ceiling trying to put the lighting that Areesha wished for at the last moment, not like normal girls who are putting mehdi instead. She jumps on the terrace trying to put them but failing.

"I told you the other side". Areesha said whining

"You never said right or left side you just say side like I am supposed to do magic to know which one". She said frustrated
