'Laila, can you meet me after class?', asked Mr. Hudson.
'Do you want me to wait for you', Zulaikha stared at me
'Maybe not this time. It's probably about my grades', I smiled swiping my hands on her shoulders.

'How are you with your study?',
'It's a productive progress', he gave a laugh.
'I hope that it continues', my hands were shaking. I must have failed a subject or literally every subject.

My jaws dropped.
'Did you tell him I'd be gladly to volunteer?',
'Ha ha.. I've reckoned you would want this. Also, this will be a great chance for you to continue medicine if you like',

'I heard your story and here I am to help you get back to your path', he passed on a paper. 'Think about it',

'I'm scared. There's this anxiety of it. Mouadh, I've failed at it once. Don't you think it's possible that I may have failed at this again?',

'I'm not to decide where your future leads to. Have faith in Allah. You'll do fine. Take this chance first and you'll decide if you should continue this',

yet this man is also right.
