Their Encounter With Fate

Chapter 2

I entered the gate of college which holds thousands of memories.

Even though I'm lazy to attend the classes,
But I will definitely miss this place once I'm out of here.

Walking inside, my mind went back to those days.

"Mom I want to continue my studies," I said to mom when she is preparing dinner for us.

"I want to study further mom." This time I said a bit loudly when she didn't react.

"Noor, don't ask me anything about it. Go and ask your dad if he allows you, then you can go." She replied after a few seconds.

My face dropped as I know my dad would never allow me to study further.

I went back to my room and cried my heart out.

"Noor, come to have your dinner." I heard mom calling me to have dinner.
I just ignored and slept without having food.

I woke up the next morning and after praying I decided to speak with dad.

"Assalam Alaikum dad".

"Wa Alaikum salam"

"Dad, that I want...."I stammered there as I'm scared to ask him.

"Yes, what happened Noor." dad asked me worried.

"Dad, I just want to continue my studies. It is one of my dreams and I want that to be fulfilled. And yes, I know you will not allow me to study still I came here to ask you once more. Please, dad, let me study." I said holding my breath and tears rolling down.

I didn't get any reaction from dad, so I lost hope. I decided to climb steps as soon as possible to reach my room and to cry my heart out.

"Noor, it will not be okay my child. As you know, your grandpa never liked the concept of sending girls to study further. So I think it's better to follow what he likes." I heard him say when I'm about to climb a step.

"Dad, I can understand what you feel about it. But that is all on those days, but now generations have changed. Nowadays girls are capable of doing anything in the world. So I want your opinion on this." I spoke politely to make him understand the depth of the situation.

Slowly I looked up to his face, I saw the confusion on his face. I just stood there to listen to his words patiently.

"Noor, whatever you told is right, make sure to join a good college," he said smiling.

The last sentence is enough for me to jump, I hugged him tightly.
"Jazakallah Khair dad".

"Boom! Boom". I startled from my deep thoughts.

Yes, I know the owner of this boom.
My enemy cum best friend is finally here, Maryam Ismail.

The only person who can handle my mood swings and listen to my rubbish. She is the one who is my secret box and chatterbox at a time and with whom I can go all crazy.

"Assalam Alaikum Maryam." I greeted her hugging.

"Wa Alaikum Salaam Noorie.". She greeted back with same warming hug.

"How are you, I have so much to speak, I feel like we met after a decade," I said excitedly.

"Alhamdulillah, all good. Yes, even I have lots and lots to share. Come let's go to class before ma'am comes and take attendance." Maryam said while we are standing outside the class.

"Yes, let's go." we both went inside the class and took place on the fourth bench.

Meanwhile, ma'am came, took attendance and started her class as usual even though we are back after having semester holidays.

The only hour we can't even utter a word. And this lady as a super ear to hear the slightest voice even from the corner. The whole class either listen to her nonsense or sleep or daydream.

"I will stop my class here itself." Said, professor Lilly.

I just huffed and turned to see my best friend, Maryam who is smiling in her sleep.

Yes, she has the ability to sleep a whole hour even when Maam throw chalk at her.

"Maryam, wake up dude it's already time for lunch," I called her from a deep sleep.

"Noor, why you and my mom are behind my sleep."Frowned Maryam in between her sleep.

"It's because you sleep limitless, okay now save your sleep for next hour. Come let's have lunch I am already hungry." I told pulling her from the sleep.

Finally sleeping beauty woke up, and we both went to our regular place to have lunch.

After having our meal, we both usually sit under the tree until the bell rings for the next hour.

"By the way, Maryam why were you smiling on the sleep? Whom did you dream?". I asked her for making my brows up.

"It's just, I dreamt of him". Maryam blushed.

Assalam Alaikum everyone.

How are you all?

I hope you liked the chapter.
