Chapter 5 - Ch4- Family dinner

This is weekend, so all the members of my family are here... My parents, younger sister and brother. My father has been suffering from heart disease since my graduation year. I am the eldest daughter of my family, with average looks.. as compared to my younger sister and brother. Both of them are quite good looking and with charming personality.

My younger sister Haani is very gorgeous and

confident and always loves to smile and socialise with people while me on other hand is just opposite except that I was always good in my academic performance. Haani is a research scholar in biochemistry department of the top University of City A and my brother is studying animation. My parents never forced us to choose the career of their choice. I have done my MCA and working for a top rated Multinational Company. Finally after all these years of struggling and working hard we are able to settle our family.

"Sister... I heard that today you have tried a new dish... I am drooling since I heard it from mother...." said my brother and took the bowl of chicken from my hands.

I asked Haani to set the table for the dinner and looked for the other side dishes I prepared.

"You didn't prepared biryani..... I am craving for it for a long time...." my sister complained as she got bored with University food.

"Why don't you cook yourself some.... What will you do when you get married in few months..." teased my brother "We will not send elder sister to help you with all these cooking... "

"Mamma....!!.... see he is again at it.... I don't like cooking.. and I can't handle all these difficult recipes... why don't he understand..."

"Stop it Ezaan... !! don't tease her...." My mother scolded my brother.

After bringing the last light food for my father I called him and we all sat down for dinner. I really feel very contended and satisfied watching all these happy faces.

During dinner my mother mentioned about her meeting with Mrs. Ibrahim and suggested my father to invite her for Haani's wedding. For that my father agreed for the sake of old neighborhood relationship.

We left the city B and settled in city A after my family hit bankruptcy when my father's business partner betrayed him and ran away after taking all the money from our textile factory and left my father with all the debt. At that time all my father's friends and most of our relatives choose to ignore us but my father was the man of high ego and self- respect, so he never asked for any help and sold all his assets to settle the debt and after that we left city B.

After that incident, my father took some small jobs to feed our family and my mother started giving tutions to neighborhood children to help the father in finances..
