NINE YEARS AGO.
11 JANUARY 2006.
Istanbul, turkey.
Gunay university of architecture and arts.
Manar Fareed hated changes. Specially those who makes her step out of her comfort zone. And she hates doing things out of her comfort zone.
She wants safe. Always safe.
But standing in front of one of the most reputed and best university of Istanbul, she was rethinking what decisions lead her here.
All the way from her comfortable home in Islamabad to standing in front one of the largest university in Istanbul.
What she thought would be a scam offer, turned out to be a life changing offer for her. She had studied first three years of her architecture degree in her home town university, but after applying to a scholarship program, she out of all the hundred students of her batch was selected to complete her final year of architecture in Istanbul.
Convincing her parents and two elder brothers were completely other deal. Her second elder brother and mother was in her favour, but the same couldn't be said about her father and elder brother. They were paranoid of sending their little girl somewhere so far in a foreign land. No one in three generations of Manar's family ever stepped out of Pakistan. She would be the first girl to ever to do that.
After months of convincing her father and her brother, they both finally agreed but on a condition that when she goes to Istanbul, she won't talk to any boys, and she is not to attract any attention to her. The name of her family relied on her. She was going there only for the sole purpose of education. And if she tries to get involved with a guy, the end won't be nice.
With the promise of carrying her family name on her, Manar took the brave step and traveled all the way to Istanbul on her own.
But on the first day, she was ready to back out and go back to her country.
But she couldn't now could she?
So taking a deep breath, she lifted her head up and walked inside the large building.
Gunay university was said to be build nearly hundred years ago, one of the universities to be build during the ottoman era. Since then many royalties, elites, and old money families have studied here and are on a successful position in their fields.
The beauty, the architecture of this university was something else. Manar smiled to herself. Even if she doesn't make any friends, just soaking in the beauty of this university is enough for her.
There were many student body swarming up the large hallways of the floors aligned on the square parameters of the courtyard. And every student looked determined, like they were here for a goal. To achieve success.
