Ayat's day started on an usual note with fajr salah and recitation of surah Yaseen and some verses of the Quraan Shareef.
She was feeling a bit tired today as yesterday she played boisterously.
She was even nervous too as today was the day of project submission in her college.
She started working on her left over project.
After completing the project, she then started searching the every possible question related to the project topic, so that she would be able to give all the answers asked by her teacher.
After browsing for about an hour, she was feeling sleepy. She then looked at the clock and fairly she had almost more than a hour to leave for college.
She then decided to take a nap and slept.
She woke up when she heard her mother shouting her lungs out from downstairs, " Ayat! Get up. You are still sleeping, you are getting late to college. Hurry up, get down soon".
She squirmed and finally got up and when she saw the time, she was shocked. She rubbed her eyes to clarify whether it is a dream and saw the time again. And guess what she was late.
She then suddenly got up and went running to get freshen up. She was getting late and even wasn't able to figure out what to wear.

She opened her wardrobe and started searching for the attire to wear for the presentation. She grabbed a blue denim and a light purple kurti, plus a matching hijab for the outfit.
She then hurriedly wrapped her hijab, took the car keys and her bag, went downstairs.Greeted her ammi and went running to the parking area.
Started off the car and headed towards her college.
And to her bad luck she got stucked in heavy traffic.
Her anger reached to a peak after seeing that heavy traffic, she was constantly checking her watch. She was already 15 mins late and now this traffic raised her temper to a higher level.She then saw an blind old man trying to cross the road in this heavy traffic . She thought of helping him, stepped out of the car and went towards that old blind man, held his hand and helped him in crossing the road.
The old man was very happy by that gesture of her, he praised Ayat and gave lots of dua's.
Ayat went back to her car and still was waiting for the traffic to get released.
Then finally after 20 minutes of traffic jam, it got released and Ayat started off her car and drove towards college.
She finally reached college and she was already half an hour late, so she just grabbed her bag and went running inside the college.
"Excuse me, sir" she asked breathing heavily.
"Why are you so late miss Ayat" Her sir queried.
"Sorry, sir actually I got stucked in heavy traffic for almost 20 minutes" she claimed still breathing heavily.
"I wont allow you next time, If you repeat the same thing, now get in" sir said in a rasping tone.
"Thank you, sir" she replied in a pleading way.
"I will start the presentations after half an hour, till then prepare for your presentations and I will call you guys randomly not serial number wise" sir emitted.
Everyone started preparing.

After half an hour:-
Sir started calling the students randomly and finally Ayat's turn came. She was looking a bit nervous but she tried to be confident while giving the presentation. After completion, everyone gave her a big round of applause and luckily she answered all the questions asked by the sir.
When all presentations got over, "I will reveal the scores after lunch, so everyone go and have your lunch" sir announced.

While hurrying up in the morning, Ayat forgot to take her lunch box. So she went to the canteen to get something to eat.
She is not fond of junk food, she loves the food made by her mom. She rarely eats outside food.
While she was ordering the food on the counter, she got interuppted by her classmate Huzaifa Malik.
"Assalaamu Alaikum, Masha Allah! Your presentation was so good" Viquar exclaimed.
"Walaikum Assalaam, Jazakallah hu khairan" she uttered and went away as she doesn't like to get indulged in any sort of conversation with any guy.
After having her lunch, she went in the prayer room offered her zuhr salah and went in the class.
Still 20 minutes were left for the lunch hour to complete, so she took out her phone and dialled Bella's number and talked with her for a while.
After the lunch hour got over, Sir came in to announce the results of the presentation.
Everyone was tensed and no one was able to figure out who will get the full marks as every presentation was up to the mark.
"Every presentation was amazing, a big round of applause for each one of you for your great efforts" sir procalimed happily and clapped for everyone.
"As I have said that everyone did an outstanding job, but the first and the second position seakers got to that position by a little difference in their and your's presentation. So there is nothing to be disheartened at, better luck next time" Sir claimed while roaming in between the benches.
"So the second position got just one mark less than the first position, and the second position with 99 marks is occupied by Viquar Malik" Sir announced in a happier tone.
Everyone clapped for Viquar.
"And coming to the first position, It is occupied by Ayat Ibrahim" Sir concluded the results.
Ayat was so happy after listening her name at first position.
"Congratulations, Your presentation was the best amongst all" Sir exclaimed.
"Thank you sir, glad that you liked it" Ayat replied with a smile.
After the class everyone started congratulating Ayat and Viquar.
Ayat's day at the college ended on a good note after the presentation.
After the class got over, she happily went to her house.
