I woke up to fajr azaan. I try to wake  up in the morning. (Though I am not that punctual but I try to be )

Walking into the bathroom I performed ablution and performed salah . I finished my salah with a long conversation with Allah , thanking him for every moment and seeking for his blessings for my future life .
I love to talk to Allah about things happening in my daily life .

As I stood by my window thinking about him , I witnessed the beautiful dawn . Everything felt so right. I whispered thank you once again and continued my day .

All of a sudden ,the atmosphere changed  from cheerful to tensed.
"The results will be out at 2 in the noon" said my dad.
I immediately went  towards my cupboard, removed  my prayer mat once again , started  praying to Allah for good result because my parents had a lot of expectations from me .
"Ya Allah, please give me marks with which my parents will be happy , this prayer is not for me but for my parents and family " I prayed whole heartedly.

While I was sitting there with my eyes closed my mom walked  in , and hands me the landline and said
"There's a call for you".
I take the phone from her hand nervously.

"Assalwalaikum, who is it?"
"Waalekum assalam, all the best for your results and wish you  all the luck for your future ", said the caller.
Before I could say even a word the call ends.

I went  to my mom running to ask her who was on the call .
But before I could ask she asked me "Who was on the call?"
It was a school friend , I say to mom knowing that it wasn't.

It was already lunch time . The environment today was different from the rest of the days, there was tension all around. I could read worry in dad's eyes but his face read something else.

"Don't worry zeenu I know u will rock exam as always",said dad .
After a moment of pindrop silence something vibrates, I spontaneously go to the centre table (where all the phones are kept during lunch and dinner) and look for the phone that was vibrating .
It's my phone I shout to the rest of them.

It's a text from tuba , it says results are out and immediately theres another vibration again it's a text from tuba which says I got 80% .
I just text her back
"Congratulations girl
Proud of you .
Let me check my results and I will get back to you."
