Maram was right in front of the teacher when he was talking about “No Excuse”.It was as if to to say that the exhortation was all for her, especially with the upcoming competition, because she was depressed and despondent and ready to give up.

She went back to their class, and she drafted a timetable for the competition and sped off to study as usual . She encouraged herself and was able to talk with other girls for the first time since they resumed.

School closed for the day. She went with her friends and happily engaged with one another, to the surprise of Maraz but she didn't know how to ask her.

Maram went to her room to change her school clothes.

Mummy Maram don't be bothered so much I will get back to you as soon as possible,I have a meeting I want to catch up with he reassured her
