As Ouahib arrives in town , carrying the weight of a family that has weathered hardships, including parental separation, and the lingering echoes of a once vibrant home, he embarks on a new beginning, yearning for a different chapter.
In contrast...

My new seat neighbor is quite annoying, even more than the kids running while I try to pray at the masjid.
No offense, I get that they are kids, I have two at home too but running in between the rows while I'm making sujood and stepping on my hair 'accidentally' is just the edge where I think that they should stop.
There is always enough place for them to play in the last rows as they're mostly not occupied but still they choose to rip the hair off my scalp.
Once, a kid around six was running, trying to catch his friend and just as I was to get up from sujood, he came running and stepped on my hair.
As I was about to get up, my hair was pulled and I almost felt it being ripped off my scalp.
I let out a sharp hiss and as he noticed it and moved back. I didn't see him since that day and even after prayer he was nowhere to be seen.
Just imagine, even the Imam came and asked me about what had happened!
Anyways it's a SHE and she is the same Shahd from the forest incident.
I still didn't figure out her hatred towards Aaliyah but now that she's literally sitting between us, I've noticed quite the opposite behaviour than there in the forest when she was badmouthing her.
She was kind of trying to get to her good side and somehow be friends.
It's strange being honest but what can I say. She mentioned that they know each other from previous classes and maybe she saved her as a witch, out of silliness.
She was literally complementing Aaliyah for wearing MY hoodie on top of her Abaya! Like it was a necessity for her to wear it and there is this girl, thinking that she's being fashionable.
Apparently because her Abaya was a light shade of grey, her hijab too and her shoes and my hoodie were white.
Anyways, I had to stifle my laugh multiple times when she asked Aaliyah about where she got the idea and hoodie from.
Of course Aaliyah had no idea where I've got the hoodie from, so she said that the Abaya and hoodie were her grandmother's gift.
Anyways, the new seating plan is working quite well. Aaliyah is trying more to raise her hand and answer questions.
Even some teachers noticed it and appreciated her for it, which I think also gave her a motivation boost to answer and speak often in class.
Our tutor made the seating plan so that, there are four tables lined up beside each other and pressed to the far end of the side walls of the classroom.
On the other side it's the same with four tables lined up beside each other and in the middle of the classroom there is enough space to walk and get to your respective seat.
I was seated at the far end of the second row which is pressed against the wall with the windows. Beside me there is Shahd, beside her Aaliyah and at last there is a girl beside Aaliyah.
