On the last day I am in my Grand father's home. Everyone gathered here. As we are planning to do barbecue on rooftop. As my flight is at 2. And we will be leaving from here within 12. We are chatting while eating grilled chicken. It's yummy. Damn.. I'll miss all these things.

At 12:o clock I started giving good byes to everyone. Where my luggage were already in car. Dad, mom and javed bhai coming with me till airport.

Once we reached airport, I waved one last time to my family. And headed toward reporting . After 1 hour air hostess announced that the flight is taking off.

After taking off, I decided to take a nap. While praying for all. As Allah will accept the prays of a Traveller. And presently, I don't think I am anything different than that.

When the plane landed. After I retrieved all my things,I headed to look  my brother. And soon I came across my brother. "Assalam alaikum bro", I said with a happy tone. And we engaged in small talk while moving toward our car. As soon as I came to an apartment, I rang the bell.

The door jerked open revealing a cute little rumisa. Awwh.. So cute. As soon as she saw Hamid bhai, she opened her arms and referring to be picked up. In one swing bhai took her in arms, "how many times I said not to open door", he said in authoritative tone.

She lashed her cute eye lashes at him and replied , "mommy opens late, I want to know who's there". We all chuckled. "yes, she do works with tardiness. But that doesn't justify you opening doors", he said with amusement.

"Oye, I am right here, huh", voice came which was proceeding towards us. And halted beside Bhaiya and front of me.  I am enveloped in a comfy hug by Bhabi . "assalam alaikum", I said while hugging. "walaikum assalam, how are you. I am so happy", she said. Straighting myself, I replied to all her answers.

Tomorrow will be my first day. Day went in a blink.Its 9 and we are heading to dining table. And I hit bed early as I don't want to be late. And I am not a morning person. Well what I can do when holidays is the culprit. Yeah, holidays brings the habit of getting up at afternoon. Because of which mostly Fajr namaz get missed. But not when mom sweet mom is back of us.
Keeping an alarm, I drifted to sleep.

Triiii Triiii...I don't know but I felt as bed is in vibration. I ignored it and calmed myself to sleep. But continues vibration never let me to calm and drift back. Signing, I quickly searched for the source of vibration. Well yeah till I got the source of vibration via my phone my sleep were out of window. My eyes went wide seeing time. Ahhh don't know Fajr time is their or not. Keeping phone on my bed, I moved towards the window. Slowly moving a corner of curtain I peeked outside. Thank God, their is still time. Going to washroom and doing only farz wazu. I placed rug and started praying. After prayer I didn't got up but sat there indulged in my own thoughts.

   And talked with Allah. I know He knows everything about what's going around. But I like to say Him. 'Today Allah I am starting my job. Allah keep me composed and confident. Allah grant me such wisdom I don't step ahead from my boundaries. Allah you know how much I have chickened out in my first day of school and college. And which lead to embarrassing moments. I don't know I'll be doing any job after this year. But I am doing now, keep every moment such that I won't regret anything.", I plead.

Call me selfish or not, but I am like this. I used to give more time to sit and talk to Allah during exams,than usual days. It used to loosen up some exam tension.

“And whoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him.” (Quran 65:3)

It's because I felt as if I didn't remember anything on the day of exam. And my mind is totally blanked out. whenever I pray specially for exam, I realized my exams goes better comparatively when I don't. Well... It's my own experience.
