Zairah and Maryam came over for breakfast on Monday since it was a public holiday. They reached my house around ten-thirty in the morning so it was not an early breakfast. Just that Zairah and I had not slept very well the previous night and we were feeling extremely sluggish.

Alhamdo lillah the house contained only girls since Abu was out of town and Ami was waiting for us to make her breakfast as well. So we had a leisurely breakfast to ourselves, Ami included.
After breakfast the three of us felt so sleepy that instead of doing anything else afterwards, we slept. Just like that. Until two in the afternoon.

Ami kept wondering why the house was so quiet despite having three friends being in the same room. The reason was that we did not feel it necessary to talk just because we met up, instead we did what would have made us happier at the moment.

When I told Halima about this, she laughed and related how a night spent at a friend's house in Lahore resulted in her feeling out-of-place for most of the time. So I guess more than knowing a person enough to laugh or cry with them, it ia necessary to be able to sleep around them without any explanation. Absolute peace, alhamdo lillah.
