Beep beep beep.

Ugh! Stupid alarm!

I opened my eyes only to close them again. Oh why didn't I close the curtains last night!!! I face palmed
I tried opening my eyes again, progress. I grabbed my phone and saw that it was 7:40am. I sighed and read through the text messages.

Marina💞- 4 unread messages.

Mehreen💕- 6 unread messages.

Minahil💦- 2 unread messages.

Ughhh I don't want reply!! I put my phone away and dragged myself out of my bed.

I walked into my bathroom and took a shower. I came out and blow dried my hair.

After I finished with that, I walked to my closet and just stood in front of my wardrobe.

I decided on a baby pink silicon dress that went down to my knees paired with a pair of christian louboutin Victoria's.

Today I was graduating college. I was officially a doctor. Only to prove some people wrong. Like my father. I never understood that man. Like never.

I sat at my vanity and did my makeup. I applied foundation and some concealer under my eyes to brighten the area and other played that are high points. I put a heavy amount of translucent powder over those areas to set it or 'bake' it. I than did come coin touring and highlighting. I moved on to my eyes and just our some light brown in my crease. And heavy winged liner. For my lips I applied a deep maroon color.

"Mannat! Chalo bache nashta karo! Than we have to leave!" I heard my mom. I grabbed my phone and purse and left my room.

"Good morning." I hugged her and kissed her.

"Morning, chalo an Betho." I sat and stared my breakfast.

"Mamma?"
"Hmm.."
"Will papa be attending?" I asked and felt a tear on my waterline.
She looked at me and smiled.
"Kya?" I asked.
She pointed towards her bedroom door. I couldn't believe what I saw. Papa was standing there smiling at me.
I looked at mom and she understood that I was asking if this is really happening. She simply nodded and smiled.

I got up and walked to my dad.

"Congratulations." He said and kissed my forehead.

"P..papa..." I whimpered about to cry.
"Shhh, don't cry." He hugged me.

We left the house to the graduation venue.

I can't believe I'm graduating..I'm going to be a part of the biggest hospital in the city.

I can't believe it...I just want someone to pinch me.

We arrived at the venue which was my old high school.

"Mannat!!!" My friend Mehreen ran to me and hugged me.
"Let's go. I have your cap and gown ready." She pulled me to one of the classrooms where we were getting ready.

"Hey minahil! Hey marina!" I hugged them.

"Graduates! I'd like to raise a toast to all of you!" Our principle said holding up the glass of champagne.

I held mine up. (non alcoholic)

"I would like to tell you how proud I am for you! This was a rigorous course in which many people gave up and dropped out. In the past not nearly this many people ever graduated..this will be going on the walls of our college. As a principle this is a very proud moment for me! So go out and shine like the stars you are! Congratulations!"
