she had just opened her eyes, sensing her husbands absense she started to get up to find him and remembered he was on a trip in the islands. She sighed and plopped back into bed but wasnt asleep when her two little kids came into the room, argueing as usual.
Hakim jumped up onto the bed and shouted "thedhuvey, thedhuvey", he was four.
"Hey dont talk to your Mom like that Hakim!" said his sister Eva with a frown on her face. Standing with her arms pressed against her hips, she was seven.
"Whatever, sis" replied Hakim with a 'do i look like i care' look.
"and dont talk to me like that either" said Eva with an even fiercer look than before.
"actually u wake Mom up usually with your yelling, so puleeese continue, please" said Hakim smiling from the corners of his mouth.
their mom sensing that she had to get up now said, "ok ok so why are you two fighting, its morning you know".
"Hakim dhai noogulhan vegen eindhee ais" said Eva.
after pulling his tongue out at his sister Hakim said "Mom brush my teeth, Dad huri iru he brushed my teeth nu, i dont wana do it by myself"
"you know you should grow up, you cant depend on Dad to brush your teeth you know, when you grow old he`s not gona do all that dho Mom?" said Eva and looked at her Mom for support.
Her mom looked at Eva then at Hakim and thought "i`d rather not take sides"...
"Ok you guys go get ready, i`ll make you breakfast" she said finanlly.
"what are you gona make me eat?" asked Hakim loudly his eyes wide open, it was as if he`s mother had told him to jump of the roof.
"what do you want Hakim?" asked his Mother
"umm chocolate milk, and nothing else" said Hakim
"ok go, get ready." said their Mother, "Hakim.. now please"
she got into the shower and was just drying her hair when their was a ring on her phone.
"Hey loabs" it was her Husband.
"Hey, was just thinking about you" she replied smiling.
"yeah? why what did Hakim say?" he said with a small laugh.
she told him what had happened and that she would call later she had to go make breakfast.
"ok, love you babes" he said.
"love you too, bye" she said and hung up.
she put on white armless dress and went out of her room to the kitchen. to her suprise they were already sitting in the dining chairs, each with a book. Actually a comic in Hakims hands. Both had dressed well she thought, probably Eva`s doing. Eva was dressed in a armless blue tshirt which went upto her thighs with little pink shorts. Hakim was wearing his favourite Kakashi tshirt, and his black shorts.
she made the chocolate milks and cheese toast.
"mom i said i only wanted the milk nothing else dho" said Hakim.
"Eva ves kaa hithey ney, seriousleee" said Eva as loud as Hakim.
" i dont know why you guys dont eat breakfast, its the most important meal of the day" advised her mom.
"Mom dont copy what other people say" said Eva an eyebrow raised as she said it.
"what do you mean? im not copying its a known fact" said her Mother annoyed.
"so why are u saying like in a cartoon?" Eva raised her right arm pointing her index finger in the air and said in a deep voice, "breakfast is the most important meal, kids!"
her Mother just burst out laughing and said "mi annanee, make sure you both eat that"
she went into her room but could hear Eva talking.
"Mom ah kithanme jessun kurinyas we should eat Hakim. Mom ulhey iru nukaanee. *hehe* ekamu dhiyaama we should eat" said Eva
"I dont want to make Mom sad ey dhonths, just i miss Dad" said Hakim making a sad face.
"you know you shoudnt only love Dad" said Eva with a little frown now.
"i love Mom too, but Dads more fun, moms like you not fun" he said.
"moms fun ennu?" said Eva her eyebrow raised again.
"yeah i guess, she`s fun with Dad but she`s kinda strict with us" said Hakim
"she`s strict?" asked Eva
after giving Eva a 'as if you didnt know' look Hakim went on to explain, "yeah she like makes me do homework and not watch cartoons all the time and makes me go to bed"
"well thats cause she wants you to be good" said Eva
"yeah but i want to go to school without doing homework" said Hakim smiling again with the corners of his mouth.
"teacher eyrun halhey lavaaneynu" said Eva
"yeah but i like it" said Hakim still with his naughty smile. And then put the glass of milk to his mouth and didnt put it down even when he had finished drinking.
thats when their Mother went back to the kitchen, and looked at Hakim, smiled, raised her left eyebrow and asked, "Im not Fun, Hakim?"
Hakim narrowed his eyes as if in anger his mouth still firmly clamped to the glass. He didnt say anything....
