Mommy dearest for a day!

“Mama… mama?”

“What’s wrong?” I mumble drowsily to Azmeena.

“30 minutes are left! Saleem hasn’t come as yet!” She exclaims.

“Oh God! These servants! Whenever you need them the most, they are nowhere to be seen!” I mutter to myself as I scramble out of bed.

My Sundays are also ruined, how I wish there was someone to do all the work so that I could sit back and relax for a change! But then again being a mother doesn’t permit me to wish for something as farfetched as that! It seems as though I had just gone to bed a while ago. *Sigh*

I glance at the clock on my way down to the kitchen, 20 minutes left! I dash into the kitchen, switch on the lights and start preparing Sehri for everyone. So here I am busy cooking in the heat of the kitchen while the rest of the family is comfortably asleep in their cool air-conditioned bedrooms. Who said being a mother was easy?!
