Her Destiny || 📒

part 13

Arwan mentioned, "Hey, our academic results are being declared tomorrow too."

Ayliz nodded, "Yeah, we have to attend the result ceremony tomorrow."

Hana asked, "Are you guys excited about your results?"

Ayliz replied, "Yes, I'm super excited! But what about you, Hana? How did you do?"

Hana smiled, "I got 80%!"

Ayliz and Arwan exclaimed in unison, "Congratulations, Hana! That's amazing!"

Hana said to Ayliz with a grin, "If you score 90% or above, you owe us a treat!"

Ayliz laughed, "Yeah, yeah, my dear bestie! I'll treat both of you, okay? Now, let's celebrate!"

Hana exclaimed happily, "Yes, my cupcake!"

Hana turned to Arwan, noticing his quietness, "Hey, where are you lost?"

Arwan hesitated, "Nothing, I'm just a bit worried about my marks. What if I don't get well?"

Ayliz reassured him, "Don't worry, Arwan! You've already given it your best shot. Now, just trust in Allah and pray, Insha'Allah, you'll get good marks."

Hana added, "Yeah, and we'll be here to support you either way!"

Arwan smiled slightly, feeling a bit better, "Thanks, guys. You're the best.

After some time, Ayliz bid farewell to her friends and returned home, her heart still racing from the excitement of the day. As she entered her house, she was greeted by the warm smile of her mother, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

"Hey, sweetie! How was your day?" her mother asked, concern etched on her face.

Ayliz flopped down on the couch, exhausted but happy. "It was amazing, Mom! Hana got 80% on her exam, and we all had a great time together.

"Ayliz, help me with dinner," her mom said, beckoning her to the kitchen.

"Okay, boss, as you say," Ayliz replied with a smile, following her mom to the kitchen.

After they finished cooking, Ayliz went to call her father to the dinner table. "Appa, come for dinner, everything is ready," she said, using the affectionate term for her father.

"Okay," he replied, his voice warm and gentle, as he made his way to the table.

Ayliz's pov

Ayliz's heart swelled with relief and joy as her father's words washed over her. She had been bracing herself for his disapproval for so long, but now he was finally on board with her education. She felt a weight lift off her shoulders as I realized that I no longer had to fight for his acceptance. "I'll make you proud, Appa," she whispered to herself, her mind racing with the possibilities. "I'll show you that I'm capable of great things." I felt a renewed sense of purpose and determination. I knew that this was just the beginning of her journey, and I was ready to work hard and make the most of this newfound support.

The next day, Ayliz's stomach was in knots as I sat alongside her parents at the result ceremony. I had studied hard, but I couldn't help but worry about the what-ifs. What if I didn't get the grades I hoped for? What if I disappointed my parents? The principal's voice broke through my thoughts, announcing the top scorer. "Ayliz, with an aggregate of 95.4%!"

The hall erupted in applause, but I was in disbelief was palpable. I had done it? I had actually done it?! My parents' beaming faces and tight hugs brought tears of joy to my eyes.
