I jolted quickly from my sleep as I heard something that sounded like the alarm clock.
As I opened my eye slowly, I noticed it wasn't the alarm clock but my frustrated sister who has been waking me up minutes ago to pray so I won't be late for work.
"Why do you look so frustrated" I said teasingly.
She narrowed her eyes at me and memories came flashing back immediately.
I remembered that moment when mum gave birth to Asmara and I wanted nothing more than to touch her little hands which were curled in the showl.
Then I remembered what dad had said "this is your little sister almira,you should always love her because both of you will always be partners".
I wanted to stay near her all day but the nurse told my dad to take me out. So dad had to persuade me with an ice cream.
