The yellow shining sun started rising from the ground as I stare from the balcony of my room, the sun looked so close but in reality it was distance away. Sky was filled with mighty , beautiful colours of red, orange, yellow and gold while the stained white clouds had endless rays of pink. It was bright and mesmerising as it inviting me to stare, deep into the horizon. I loved the morning, it's the only time of the day where I can find luxury and beauty of nature. Everything seemed so miraculous, so real that I felt like I had nothing to worry about. It made me feel like I was filled with joy and peace that I never wanted to lose the expression.
Today was the last day of my final exams, I was nervous but I had trust in almighty Allah. I know all my hard work and prayers won't despair into nothing. I sigh as I cuddle myself and looked down that the narrow streets of London, my neighbourhood was quiet which was a good thing.
"Haya" I heard my beautiful sister in law call me from down stairs, looks like the luxury and beauty of nature was now gone. I quickly grabbed my scarf and throw one end of it over my shoulder, I took a quick look in the mirror and fixed my hair as I rushed down stairs.
"Good morning my beautiful, sexy sister in law" I said in hyper as a giggled at her reaction to me calling her 'sexy'.
"HAYA" I heard a familiar deep manly voice from behind, I instantly knew who it was, it was older brother, Ali. I rotate my body as I played a wide smile, display my perfect white teeth.
"Yes bro" he shook his head and giggled as he walked up to me and patted me on the head.
"May Allah help you with your last exams" he said, embracing me into a warm morning hug. Ali was the the person I had in the whole entire world, my parents, peace be upon them both, passed away in a dangerous car accident, since then Ali and I have been orphans, but he always acted like a mother, father and a big brother and never let me feel like I lost my parents. He used to work day and night just to pay the fees of my education, provide me food, clothing and shelter.
"Thank you so much , may Allah grant you pious child inshallah" I uttered whilst he giggled and shook his head.
"Allah has already granted me with a pious child" he said, I glanced at him in confusion as my eyebrows knit together forming a frown.
"You, your like my daughter slash sister , I love you so much that I may never love my own child" he said while my sister in law cleared her throat, trying at capture Ali's attention. Ali chuckle and walked toward and kissed her on the lips as I turned around not wanting to see them make out .
"If you guys are done can I turned around?" I asked as i heard them both hissed back.
"Yeah" said Ali after clearing his throat . I turned around, smiling at both of them and crossed my arm. "Well, if you guys don't mind I would like to get dressed and go to uni" I declared, they both nod they head simultaneously.I ran upstairs to my room and pulled out my long black skirt, a dark purple blouse and a black hijab with purple and pink painted flower on it. After getting ready I packed my pencil case and a few other items I would need during exams into my converse all-stars bag. I pulled my bag over my shoulder and walked to the kitchen and grabbed one of Ali's toast that had jam spread over it.
I rushed outside as I pulled out my bicycle and placed my bag in the basket in front on me, I began to ride it as I past the neighbourhood saying good morning to everyone I see and them replying back.
Finally arriving at my destination, London university, like half an hour later. I quickly parked my bike and grabbed my bag, rushing through people as I reach my usual studying place, in the library.
I took my books out of my bag and began to revised for the exam, there was still plenty of time remaining till the exams starts. After straight ten minutes of studying heard someone behind huffing and puffing, I turn to look as I saw my best friend, Kindle. She had her dark midnight curly hair covering her pretty face. I let out loud chuckle as the librarian told me to be quiet in the library, I nod my head at the librarian and looked back at Kindle, she had a smirk on her face.
"I knew I'll find you here"she claimed , pulling the chair next me and sitting down as she places her book.
I gazed at her, "obviously I would be, where do think I nerd would be? In a night club" I remarked and yes I'm a nerd which will explain why people bully me.
After one whole hour of revising the bell of class time rang as Kindle and I glanced at each other with our eyes wide open, We both stood up from our seats and quickly packed our stuff. As we walked up the corridor, I heard the worlds most annoy, arrogant yet atrocious voice calling me from behind, I turn round as there he was the bad boy bully, well my bully to be precise.
"What is jake?" I asked, sighing as I cross my arm and look at him with one eyebrow raised. He walked towards me and stop when he was one metre away.
"Hahaha, nothing nerdy just wonder you are you still alive, I mean...your so useless " he said stuffing his hands inside his pockets, I let out a loud, lazy humourless chuckle as he played a simple smirked.
"Haha, I'm useless, say all you want if that will help you sleep at night by yourself, not with a woman beside to fucking you to sleep" I replied to his pathetic insult. "You know what I don't have time to waste, you see I have a very important exam to get to" I turned around, while me and Kindle walked together to the class.
"That was a good Haya"she said, I smiled at her as I opened the door for her, we both took our seats and the seat we're apart from each other. On each individual desk there was a booklet flipped over, which Im guessing is the exam paper.
"Good morning class, today is your finally exam, you have three hours to complete please try your best, good luck you may begin" professor Albert said.
Paper were being flipped over, I didn't want to do the exam but I had. I quickly recited the dua that prophet musa said "Rab-bish-rah lee sad-ree wa yas-sir lee 'am-ree wahlul 'uq-da-tam min li-saa-nee yaf-qahoo qaulee" i flipped the the exam paper and began the test.Three hours later...
"Okay class times up, pens down and hand me your test papers" said professor Albert, I dropped my pen down onto the desk after finishing circling the answer to the last question. The exam paper was filled with multiple questions and short answer, it was hard, but I believe in Allah that I'll pass, inshallah.
I placed my exam paper on professor Alberts desk as I waited outside for Kindle to hand her paper, finally after She came out we both walked to the parking area, where I saw boys crowding my bike.
Oh no! That was not something good. I ran to my bike as I saw jake releasing the gas of my bike's tyre, "jake you asshole, move!"I yelled as all the boys around him walked away as sat there with a stupid smirk on his ugly ass face.
"Seems to me I'll have a great sleep tonight by myself" he said as he stood, angry emerged inside me, all I could think about was how hard should knee his private area.
"Hey jake, have goodnight sleep alone" I said I knee him right in his you-know- where- place, he clutched on it as he fall on his knees. Everyone in the audience which was the students of the Uni were oohing while I pulled my bicycle to somewhere else.
"Stupid idiot, that what he deserve, now how am I supposed to go home with this stupid bike" I said, pushing it away. Looks like I have to call Ali to pick me up, I grabbed my phone from my bag and dialled Ali's number, he picked on the third call.
"Hey sup?" He spoke over the phone
"Hey can you pick me up, my bike is flat" I said sounding angry.
"I'm quite busy right now but I call sent someone to pick you up?"he asked
"Okay thanks bye" with that I end the call and stood in front of Uni watching cars pass by and the busy terrific. "Who is Ali sending to pick me up " I asked myself whilst I felt Someone tap me on the shoulder, I turn around when I saw a pair of familiar dark eyes, that brought memories back to me. Those eye that I thought I'll last see,those eyes belonged to someone that I was once in love with. Those eye that used to hunt me day and night For the last few years, Why were they back for?
