Once upon a time, in the heart of United Kingdom, lived a smart and beautiful girl named Irha Awais Malik. She had a daily routine of waking up early, greeting salam, and reciting Kalma. Irha had an immense love for listening to the recitation of Surah Al Rehman. She would try to imitate the words, her small voice echoing through the house. Besides the recitation, Irha also enjoyed nursery rhymes, especially Cucin. She would sing along, the melody dancing around the room. Her joy was infectious. Irha adored her small family. Her mama, Irum, and her baba, Awais, were her entire world. She would follow them around the house, her small steps matching theirs. Irum lovingly called Irha “Irhu,” while Awais affectionately nicknamed her “Babbyyy.” These names were like music to Irha’s ears, making her giggle every time. Irha had a special place in her heart for her Aunti Jojji Masso, who was far away in Pakistan. She would often talk about her, hoping to see her and Hammad mamu soon. Despite living in the UK, Irha was proud of her Pakistani roots. She loved her dada, dado, nana, and nano, who were far away in Pakistan. Irha is a foodie. She like salty cookies, fresh cake, spicy nimko, banana, vita bix, juices, bread, and fries. She is always ready for a food adventure. One day, Irha expressed her desire to visit Pakistan. She wanted to meet her relatives, especially her grannies, phupo didi, Jojji Masso, and Goza bhaia. Irha was also excited about her mamu Bugga’s wedding in April. She missed him and was eager to be a part of the celebration. Her Sheli mamu was a mischievous one. Irha enjoyed his company as he always had fun stories to tell and games to play.
