"Abiiii, you said you were gonna tell me a story, I say.
"Yes my dear Ameemy", Abiii says to me in assurance.
"But the story will have to wait till tomorrow."
"Abiii why, I was sooo exited to hear the story, and now I am sad," I say.
"Don't be my dear, I have something even more important to tell you about," Abii says.
"Really Abiii, then your little princess is alll ears," I say.
Abiii brings out some kind of chain from his pocket and hands it over to me.
"Take this dear", Abiii says.
"But what is this," I say to him looking confused.
"This my dear, this chain I have kept it with me for years and now it's yours, this chain is more special than you could ever imagine, this chain here is something you should never let go of, always keep it with you and never let it go. I won't always be here with you, but this chain will help you to remember me." Abii explains.
"What do you mean Abii, I am just 12 years old and you're already thinking of leaving me all alone. Don't ever think of leaving me Abii, don't", then suddenly tears start to roll down from my eyes.
"Hear me out dear, please promise me that you'll never ever let go of this chain, promise me you'll take care of this family, promise me that you'll always take care of your grandmother, promise me that you'll always be my little princess, always helping people in need, never disrespecting her elders, always caring about others, promise that you'll do anything to fulfil your dreams, and always standing up for what is right. My dear, to me you're even more precious than a diamond". Abii says.
"But, Abiii..." I say.
Abii cuts in
"I don't want to hear any if or buts, please just promise me you'll do as I say," Abii says.
"Ok Abiii, I promise to never disappoint you, I will make sure to fulfil my promise to you," I say.

"Halima", "Halima", Mr. Farouq says interrupting my thoughts.
I wipe the tears off my face and answer him.
"Yes sir", I say.
"Halima what's going on with you, these days you've become very unserious. You always miss lectures, never pay attention and worst of all never submit assignments." Mr Farouq says to me in frustration.
"Sir, my grandmother passed away recently that's why I didn't attend the lectures and sir I always submit my assignments," I say.
"After becoming a cheater you want to become a lier as well right", Mr. Farouq says.
"But sir I am not lying I am saying the truth and about the cheating, I didn't do it. How many times will I explain that I didn't cheat sir," I say.
"Ohh please shut up, everyone knows you're a cheater, that innocent voice of yours won't work on me, OK!! Ohhh and if you aren't lying then why didn't you call me or send me a text about your grandmother. And if you have any evidence that you submitted your assignments then show it to me", Mr. Farouq says angrily.
"I promise sir I called you several times but you didn't pick , and I also texted you. And about my assignments I don't know how they suddenly disappeared", I say to him.
