Her Tranquil Tales ( my junior boy) 

Write-up:

One beautiful morning Nayel was sprawled out on the sofa beside his six year old son Naim , who had his eyes glued to the TV screen. 

Nayel had just closed his eyes to take a little rest when two chubby palms landed on his cheeks. His eyes flew open and his gaze fell upon his two and a half year old daughter Nafeela. 

Nafeela looked at her father in confusion before her expression changed . She flashed a mischievous half toothed smile and once more her tiny palms attached with Nayel's cheeks.

"Dada!" Her cute little voice screamed. Nayel squinted his eyes due to the bright sunlight streaming in through between the cracks in the curtains . He then carefully got up and smiled at Nafeela who had somehow crawled up on the sofa from nowhere and given a surprise to Nayel. 

Nayel gazed around in search of Naira but she was nowhere to be seen. He got up and made sure the kids were safely seated with cushions all around in case someone decided to go on another little adventure. After securing them he proceeded to find Naira. 

Nayel entered another room and was greeted by his beautiful wife who was currently busy munching on chocolates with a book perched open on her hands. 

Nayel went up and hugged her from behind , "Hi gorgeous. " 

Getting no response he leaned around to see her expression but Naira was clearly ignoring him . Nayel tried many different tactics but all his efforts were futile. 

" Naira, did I do something wrong? Are you angry with me?", He asked in a worried tone. 

Naira pouted and let out a sigh, " I'm so bored! It's been such a long time since we all went out for fun." She complained, staring at Nayel with a sad expression. 

"That's it? Come on, let's go out today." Nayel responded with a grin. 

"But where should we go?" Naira inquired, getting up from her place and walking out of the room.

Nayel followed behind her like a lost puppy , "Wherever you want." 

"I don't know where I want to go! ", Naira replied dramatically.

" Wanna go to theme park!", Naim shouted from the sofa, looking up at his parents with a hopeful expression. 

Nayel looked at Naira to see  her now cheery face and then announced , "Okay, theme park it is!".

An hour later they were ready to visit the theme park. Naim wore a matching outfit like his father. Since the last few days he had been mirroring whatever his father did and was adamant on dressing up similar to Nayel. 

Nafeela was dressed up in a cute blue dress patterned with butterflies and her mother put some matching butterfly clips on her head. 

Nayel stood up after tying the laces on Naim's sneakers and then he proceeded to carry Nafeela. 

"Wow , aren't they looking so dashing and cute !" He gushed in adoration.

"Yes, Mashallah!" Naira who was busy packing some snacks , replied from the kitchen. 

After dumping a water bottle and other necessities inside her bag , Naira came out and took hold of Naim's hand and together they headed out for a fun day.

*

The sky was painted in shades of blue as the family walked on the main street of the theme park which was surrounded by different kinds of rides on each side. All around children screamed and there was the buzz of people actively chattering . The atmosphere was full of excitement . They were surrounded by a mass crowd of people and children's giggles and teenage banter filled their ears. 

 They had already spent a couple hours having fun in multiple rides.

They rode on the teacups , watched a short film , played other games and won mini prizes. Naim wanted to go on the rollercoaster and Nayel was all for it . But Naira interjected and in the end they setlled for a mini rollercoaster ride instead of the giant, scary one. 

"Mama, I want to go on that one!" Naim pleaded , pointing at the trampoline. 

"Sure !" Naira smiled in approval. 

Naim went inside the trampoline and as it was a very small one with only little kids , they allowed Nafeela to go inside it too. At first she was hesitant but once she got inside they couldn't convince her to get out . She was shrieking and bobbing up and down in joy. Nafeela jumped, fell on a sitting position and continued doing this same thing .

Naira stood watch over the kids while Nayel disappeared saying he wanted to buy something. 

After a while , Naim and Nafeela finally came down from the trampoline, exhausted but with wide , content grins plastered on their faces. 

Nayel suddenly materialized from the side with a little flower band clutched in his hand. He put his hands forward and carefully placed the intricately designed flower band on Nafeela's little head, "This is for my lovely princess." , He said while lightly pinching his daughter's cheek.

Nafeela grinned cutely and held out her hands indicating she wanted to be carried by Nayel. 

Nayel chuckled and granted her wish, taking her from Naira's hold. 

"Dada , what about me ?" , Naim asked with a pout. 

"You want to wear a flower band?" Nayel asked with a raised brow, a smile playing on his lips. Hearing this Naira chuckled but immediately shut up after seeing Naim's expression. Nafeela continued giggling which didn't help Naim's mood. 

"No! I wanna eat something, I'm hangry!" He exclaimed , stomping his foot in frustration. 

"All right, chill buddy. " Nayel laughed , putting out his hands to ruffle Naim's hair.

They went to the food stall and bought Naim a cotton candy which he immediately started eating with joy. 

As they walked , the rollercoaster ran by over their head and the people in it screamed loudly, whether in fear or joy, that was hard to tell. All around them , people of all ages, walked with their friends and family, eating or chatting loudly while many people queued up for their turn in front of the rides. 

"So, what did you buy for me huh?" Naira asked Nayel , looking at him curiously. 

"Hmm, nothing. " He replied , shrugging his shoulders, " Sorry I forgot…" , he added with a sheepish smile and brushed his hand over his neck. 

Naira glared at him and let go of his hand which she was previously holding. 

" I'm kidding ! Haha , you get fooled so easily. " Nayel tried placating his wife but she refused to look at him.

Naira felt something being put on her head and turned around to see Nayel smiling at her. All of her anger melted away and she fingered the thing , realizing that it was a beautiful flower band. 

Nayel took hold of her hand, " Did you seriously think I could forget bringing something for you , my jaan?"

He indicated towards the flower band resting on Naira's head, " This one's for my gorgeous Queen." 

Naira blushed and smiled at Nayel, "Thank you…- my junior boy. " She added to tease Nayel who just rolled his eyes.  

Their moment was cut short by Naim, " Mama, Dada! I finished the cotton candy , but can I have an ice cream?! Pwease! " He demanded while jumping up and down in excitement and pointing towards the ice cream shop.  

As they were in a good mood they granted Naim's wish and they went ahead to buy some ice cream. 

Everything started getting darker as sunset neared and the sky changed to hues of orange and pink.

The excitement all around had shimmered down to a low chatter of exhausted people preparing to head back home. The air was calm and full of happiness.

As Naira gladly licked on her ice cream she gazed sideways to see Nayel . He was moving around his ice cream cone and hurriedly licking away the melted ice cream drips which were running down like streams from the sides. 

She lightly chuckled at his dismay and Nayel paused. He looked up at Naira , " You have ice cream on the side of your mouth. "

Naira's eyes widened and she quickly wiped her fingers over her mouth to get rid of it but her hands came out clean. " Where? Is it gone? " , She inquired with raised eyebrows. 

Nayel replied by collecting some ice cream on his finger and smearing it on Naira's cheek. 

"Nayel!" Naira shrieked in annoyance, glaring at him due to his antic. He smiled back at her cheekily.

"Mama looks so nice nah?", Nayel asked their kids. Nafeela grinned and giggled while clapping her hands. 

"Look Mama, we're matching! " Naim happily announced tugging at Naira's dress. Naim was proudly sporting an ice cream mustache.

Seeing this , Naira nodded at him and a smile came over her face. While Nayel wasn't looking , Naira returned the favor and spread some ice cream on his cheek too. 

"Now we're all matching! ", Naira announced in triumph and the family burst out in laughter.  Joy and peace was radiating from them after a well spent fun day in the theme park . It was a very memorable day indeed.
