My memories
I never felt that I am alone because I have many cousins, more than you can imagine . But that doesn't mean that I have no friends , I have some but not many.I remember many memories of my past.

Memory1~~~

"I am a ghost!" Ada exclaimed in process to scare us.

It was dusk time, the weather was not too cold nor too hot.Me and my cousin sister , Arie was playing on the roof .We were pretty young that time , around 4 to 5 years.

"No you are not!"Arie shouted .

"Yes I am! Believe me!"Ada squealed .

I was really stupid that I got scared.Maybe because it was too dark?

"No you aren't a ghost, you are something that is small ,stinks ,eats potatoes and loves to play around in the mud" Mason said, his lips curved into a smirk.

"A pig?"I guessed.

"I am not a pig!"

Memory2~~~

I watched curiosly as Arie filled the plastic bottle with water .Ayan stood behind me , his expression unreadable.

"I think that's enough"Arie said , turning off the tap. Ayan bent down and placed something on the ground. It was a coin.

"I think it is going to work"He giggled.

Arie put the bottle above the coin and looked towards me.

"Come Erum, see through it"She said cheerfully.

I bent down on my knees and as soon as I bent my face down, Arie squeezed the bottle with both her hands. The cold water splashed through my face , ruining my hair and clothes.

Memory3~~~

"And here I go!"Alya exclaimed , jumping from one sofa to another.

"Don't you think it's dangerous?" Ayan questioned.

"You idiot! you can't see how much fun it is!" Arya shouted.

We were playing in the main hall., which consisted of 5 sofas,a bed, a large size smart tv, an air conditioner and a big showcase filled with trophies won by our parents.

It was monsoon season , the rain was falling heavily outside but we didn't cared.We were having fun in a room filled with comforts .It was around 8 pm and everybody was busy in their own work.But, we weren't .

It was all going well and we were having fun.But it didn't lasted long. Rumman jumped on a cornor sofa with all his strength. The room was filled with a loud noise.

"You broke it!"Arya shouted at Rumman

"But it was all your idea!"Arie shouted back.

"Stop fighting!It isn't broken, we can still fix it"I consoled everybody.

"What if Uncle Sam found out?"Alya whispered hesitantly.

"He wouldn't"I replied "Close the door and the windows!"I added.

We took apart all the parts of the sofa and refixed it. We were only around 10 to 12 years ,still we were smart enough to fix a sofa. We were putting the cushions on the wood, just then, somebody knocked at the door. We all panicked, I stood infront of the door ready to unlock it as soon as everybody took their seats.

"Open the door" Ada ordered from the other side .

As soon as everybody was seated , I flung the door open.

"What was happening?"Ada questioned .

"Umm...nothing ,we were just playing catch" Rumman lied.

"Hmm"

Memory4~~~

It was 2am , my mother had just scolded us for being awake this late. Arie was lying beside grandma .Me and my own sister , Mary was lying on the bed opposite to grandma's.

Arie was bored , she can't sleep properly, I was also wide awake.But then, the door opened with a light creak.It was my mother.

"Want to eat ice-cream?"She asked .We just stared at each other and nodded.

We were seated at the dinning table while my mother served us ice-cream.

"Where is Ayan?" My mother asked.

"He is upstairs"Arie replied.My mother sighed.

"There is some more ice-cream in the fridge, you can give him tomorrow"My mother said.

Suddenly , the door of the cornor room was opened .Uncle Claude stepped out.

"I see what's going on"He said teasingly.

"You can't have it, you recently got a fever"Mary said.

"I know ,child" He said ,sighing.

Just at that time, the door to the staircase opened, and Ayan entered .

"You all are having ice-cream without me?!you all are so mean!!"Ayan exclaimed.

"Shhh.....There is some more in the fridge"I said "And why are you here?"I added.

"I needed to use the washroom!"He replied.

But at that time, behind Ayan, entered Rumman.

"Oh no.....In the kitchen"My mother ordered.

"Wait, is there a party going on? without me?" Rumman asked.

And then, the door of the middle room opened and here comes Ada.It was a huge mess.

"Wait,what?" She exclaimed.

"No you all are wrong!" I exclaimed.

We all were laughing loudly , almost choking on our ice-cream.Just the Arie 's hand slipped and the glass bowl fell down, breaking into pieces. I covered my eyes as every body gasped.

"Uh..Oh....I think there is a problem"
