GOOD WOMEN ARE FOR GOOD MEN

Zaina's POV
Today is the day, am leaving for London. I got a scholarship To Study in Thompson's university in London,
"Habibti please always call" cried my mother.

"In sha Allah I will Ummi " I hugged her.

"I will miss you" I smiled of course she doesn't have to tell me that.
"I will miss you more" I peeked her cheek.

I looked at my father and saw that he is avoiding my eyes,
I walked to him and lift his head up to look at me, he had tears in his grey eyes,
Seeing my dad in this state makes my heart melt.

I promise myself earlier that I wouldn't cry because if I do my dad will not let me leave.

"Baba if you cry what should I do Stream" I told him causing him to giggling.

"Hayati I will miss you so much" he said hugging me, tears were threatening to come but I held them back then I pulled away and he kissed my forehead.

"Always put your faith in Allah, He is always close" and I nod
"Its my turn now" I turn to see Zubair who is trying so hard to fake a smile, but guess what Mr am not buying it bcoz his eyes says it all.

Zubair is my elder brother, he is two years older than me which makes him 20. He is my best friend although he always teases me a lot, and he is overprotective, that's one thing I love about him.

I put my hands on my hips "am sorry do I know you?" I joked
He being the drama king that he is started coughing while he place his right hand on his chest, making some weird faces "my beloved sister has forgotten about me" he said holding the nearby chair for support.

"Take care of Ummi and baba" and he nod stand up straight.

I just roll my eye at him and gave him a bone crashing hug, he also hugged me back. As I was in his arms I can't help but think who is gonna protect me now, as if reading my mind he said "Allah will protect you little sis"
I pulled back to look at him, his eye held tears and worry "I love you zaina" cried my brother
"I love you too" I replied
"Here this is for you" extending a gift bag "don't open it now" with a warm smile while rubbing behind his neck.

I smiled back "jazakallah zubair"
I fished for some thing in my bag and hand him my black scarf
"Here" and he took it, looking in his eye I know I will miss him, soon my flight was ready.

I saw my dad comforting my mum

We did a big family hug i said my salam am really at the rage of shading tears but I head to the plane not wanting them to see me like that,

am so gonna miss them, sudden my tears betrayed me and I started crying as I sat in the plane.
I spent all my life in Africa with my family and now am leaving.

Slowly I fell asleep.

-------------------------------------------

I woke up to someone shaking me, I saw a lady in the 20ths "ma'am we landed" I nod and stood up get my luggage and head in the airport.
When I walked out of the airport, I saw woman who has my name written on a board standing beside a car, I approached her "zaina Ali?" she asked and I nodded "welcome to London" she smiled and open the door "thank you" I returned her smile.

She closed the door when I entered, she sat on the passenger's sit and the driver started driving.

I looked out the window to see the beautiful city of London, wow masha Allah its beautiful, a smile found its way to my lips, I looked across the road and saw kids playing in a park "wow masha Allah" I whisper to myself, 10 minutes later we arrived at the uni.

The gates are dark green in colour, the building is super large and right above it is written Thompson's university.

Now am nervous, I stepped out of the car and in the building,
manying students are around most of them are Muslim "Allhamduillah" I smiled "follow me miss" said a short lady, I followed her down the hallway and soon we reached a room that has 337 on it "here's your keys and this is your room, have a nice day" she hand me my keys and schedule and dispeared to the hallway.

I stared at my door said bismillah then open it, I entered a room that has a toilet attach to it, it has a midium size bed, a dressing table at the corner, a table and a chair beside the cupboard and a window.
I put my luggage on my bed and sat beside it, I took out my phone called my parents to tell them I've arrived, we talked for hours, my parent given me advise and finally the called ended.

I looked at the time its 9pm already, I stood up packed my things took a shower, prayed isha, read suratul qiyamah then got ready for bed.
I recited my dua rub it all over my body and went to bed, tomorrow is gonna be different in sha Allah but am nervous what if I don't fit in?
What am I thinking then I remembered zubair's words"do not change who you are to fit in, be yourself no matter what"

then I remembered his gift I didn't open it, I woke up and took it out from my bag,I opened it and it was a blue wrist watch that is beautifully decorated with *my kid sis* on it, I didn't realise I was crying till when a tear dropped on my hand, I place the watch on my blossom, cover my whole body with my blanket and cried till I finally fell asleep.

-------------------------------------
I woke up to the sound of my alerm, it fajr.
I said my dua am head to the toilet, I looked at myself at the mirror and saw that my hair was messed up, I tied it in a bun and did my wudhu.

I went back to the room put on my abayah and scarf then prayed the sunnah salah and fajr, then took out my Qur'an and read I for hours, i When I was Done I took a shower, wore my black abayah and my brown hijab that cover my blossom and reach my waist and my brown hand bag and now and ready for my first day.
