Chapter 3 - Day. 3. Aunt.

They returned home and before leaving Saad encountered Aiza, he whispered close to her, ''It was a nice memory''.

A year passed and Aiza was now a graduate from Uni. While studying further she is also working as an assistant.

''AIZA! For how long will you sleep? The sun is above your head, get up already and what is with these books all over your bed?". Aiza's ma yelled.

Aiza covering herself with a blanket said, "Ma! let it be. I'll clean up after getting up".

"And when are you doing that? Your aunt has now transferred here from France. She informed me that she arrived early morn. She will be going to reside in the apartment at the corner of the street. Oh yes, why don't you go and meet her up. She would be really happy to see you".

"She just arrived here, at least let her rest. I'll meet her later".

"No way. You are getting up now and going over her. You know right that she adores you more than her own. Do help her out and I've prepared something for them, take it while going".

"....Hmm", Aiza was still on her bed.

"Aiza? Aiza! Aiza..." Her ma kept calling her and pulling her blanket.

"YAAR, GOING!" Aiza got up and walked straight to the bathroom. Her mother chuckled.

It was 10 mins away by foot to reach Aiza's aunt's house. Aiza walked through the gate and saw a vehicle being unloaded by two men and a lady directing them.

Aiza walked closer and said, ''Bonjour, Je vous aider, puis?

The lady turned to see a girl standing wearing flared trousers and a shirt with a scarf around. She witha low pony stood carrying a package.

''Hii aunt Humera". she smiled.

"Aiza? Is that really you?", she stretched her hands to hold Aiza's hands.

"How are you aunt?". "Oh my goodness. I'm very well. Just look at how big you have grown up. Young lovely lady you have become. I'm so happy seeing you after long time", Aunt hugged Aiza with a delighted expression.

"How are you doing?..." as she kept inquiring,

"Ma'am!" the workers called her.

"Aunt let me help you and since you'll be living here you'll have a lot of time to see us". Aiza meant.

"Haha, you are right, thanks dear". They began unloading the van and took them into the flat.

Two kids, a younger girl and a college boy greeted Aiza on entering with their mother. They began unpacking and setting the things.

It was already afternoon and there seemed to be a little bit of work left, so Aiza advised of having lunch first and then continuing.

She served out the dishes her mother had cooked. They seemed to be very hungry looking at the bits they took to eat. Having eaten, and cleaning everything up, they went back to arrange the remaining.

It was evening by the time they finished setting up the house.

"Ma has kept a small dinner feast for your welcome, so do attend you all. With this aunt I'm leaving. See you all during dinner".

"Thanks for helping out dear. Was a bit faster with you here".

Aiza then left for her house.

9 at night, Humera came to her younger sister Sabhi's house as invited.

The sisters were meeting after many years. The elder was a boyish teacher with a soft personality while the younger was a lovely-looking clothes designer with a strict attitude. They both were contrasting with their looks.

They talked, and laughed.

"You both had a tough without Aiza's father", Humera expressed.

"Starting it was but with Aiza and your support it was manageable. But that girl sure went through a lot. During her young youthful days she had to work and look after me and the house". Aiza's ma complained.

''Well, what's Omu and Naira doing?''.

''Omu's now a Uni student and Naira is an 8th-grade student. She's will be going to the nearby school while Omu has taken engineering would be going to the Uni which Aiza studied''. Aunt replied.

''That's good. For Naira it's walking distance and for Omu, Aiza's hospital is near, she would help him with anything''. The younger sister said being satisfied.

''Where's Aiza?''.
