The sun shine down it rays on earth to show that is the beginning of a new day. Its rays shining down making the earth bright with it light. The start of a new day people coming out of their shelter to start their day.
In the center of a yard a woman was spreading her clothes on the line. A call draw her attention from her work

She raised her head and she saw her daughter running towards her with her hands up in the air showing a paper in her hands..
Ummi I got in, I finally gained my admission
A smile was plastered on the duos face
And she said am proud of you. The woman was looking at her daughter with pride filed in her eyes

Yes mum.
==========================
At the dinner table
Your mum told me you got admission

Ayrah, you know that you are going to a far city to study, and none will be there with you, you are on your own there. I want you to study hard just like always and make us proud, you are our first and only daughter so I want you to study extremely hard
Yes dad I promise I won't let you down
Now enough motivational talks and eat the food is getting cold.
Yes my dear wife
And everyone on the table laughed
And they ended their dinner harmoniously
=========================
Days after Ayrah got her admission, news was spread across the village of her success while others were envious of her. They were saying she was suppose to be married instead of studying.
One faithful afternoon, One of their neighbor came and meet Mrs Halima.....
Mrs Halima I heard your daughter got an admission
Yes it's true
That's nice but girls her age her looking forward to getting married and she is going to school. You as her mother supposed to advice her yet you her supporting her.
Are you done?. She asked glaring at the woman
Hmmm

Just a word of advice don't need for you to sound so harsh

And she walked away
Unknown to her that her daughter was listening to their conversation.
Ayrah waked up to her mother and hugged her she then said Ummi I want to make you a promise here today. That never in this lifetime will I let you down and wherever I go I promise to always make you proud. And may Allah help me in my quest.
Her mum replied to her...

Thank you
With this PDA of mother and daughter I wonder who will shower me with love anyway nobody cares about this old man

And the family of four all laughed together
Ahmad is the last born in the Hussain family after the birth of Ayrah Mrs Halima could not conceive early due to some complication during her pregnancy, the birth of Ahmad is a miracle in their family.
Tomorrow you and your mum are going to the market to buy your necessities in school and which remind me when are you leaving that will be the beginning of next month which will be two weeks from now
