52. Meeting The Mother Inlaw

Lash has met all of Zulqa's siblings. She figured out that they're all twins. Zulqa and Zakariyya being the first, Aws and Awf the second, Qifdiyya and Halima the third and lastly Hassana and Hussaina the last. 

Now they're all sitting in the parlor awaiting Zulqa's mother's presence while making light conversations here and there. She's the only one left for Lash to meet. 

The sound of shoes slapping the tiled floor halts their conversations and turns their whole attention to the flight of stairs. There comes Zulqa's mother, Umma as Lash hears them say. She's wearing a teal butterfly blouse and a milk straight skirt. A milk turban is on her head and gold jewelries adorn her hands, ears and neck.
