Moh
He still can't believe Zara messed up yesterday in her school,her first day for that matter.
He was beyond disgraced,scratch that, he
isn't just to himself if he describes it as a disgrace;He was dishonored,his ego was totally bruised,and she has given him a bad reputation as a father.

He had been avoiding her since then, when he said she was going to pay for it,he freaking meant it.He needs to caution her,it's high time she distinguished between right and wrong. He needs to put a filter into that her bubbly mouth, he needs to control her verbal sense of communication.

"Children are Allah's gifts to us, we have to raise them,teach them to the recognition and obedience to Allah. "

"Parents are instruments for guiding and shaping of human beings,they need to mould their children in such a way that they are successful here and hereafter. "

She had the guts to confront her headmistress on not wearing a Hijab and that she should be washing the toilet in her office because it was emitting a 'bad stinking odour'.

If only he knew she was going to this extent,he wouldn't have left her in the office. But it was the woman that dismissed him so to say,

"but you should have atleast warned her,since you know how carefree she is." His subconscious worked on.

"Abba you've been giving me cold shouldersh shince yesterday,I don't like the way you are ignoling me. "

"Ya Allah!!!" He wanted to shout this out but he decided on keeping mute. This is the reason he had been avoiding her there's something in her eyes that blackmail people emotionally.

She looked so worn out, so pathetic, her eyes filled with unshedded tears. She is used to his love,care and compassion but he can't turn a blind eye to her mischief,she must learn her mistakes.This is the highest he can give her. He loves her but he has to caution her.

"Zara how many times do you want me to warn you on public conduct? "

She looked at him a bit confused,she was also taken off guard,he seldoms address her with a stern face.

"Baba I did'nt beat anyone wallahi,I didn't lie yeshterday,I did my classhwork and anty ashked my classhmates to even clap for me when I anshwered her question collectly."

"Ya Allah" he sighed irritated with her innocence.

Is this how our mothers suffer in our upbringing? He is just dealing with a 3 yr old kid but by Allah his head is on the verge of bursting.

"Look,you need to respect your elders,Dont poke your nose in anything that doesn't concern you,your teacher was wrong when she didn't wear hijab but you're not in position to confront her." There is a hadith that says :

On the authority of Abu Sa'eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say, "Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart - and that is the weakest of faith." [Muslim]

"You were in no position to confront her,what she did was wrong but you should've corrected it in your mind and you went extra miles to even ask her to wash her toilet,Are you the one using it? "

She shook her head,swallowing something that seemed to be saliva. She was looking at everything there but him.Yeah she needs to be careful.

"Never utter even a word that is nothing but khair or do you to be part those that will be thrown into hellfire?"

She quickly shook her head her pupil dilating more."No Daddy I want to meet mommy in Al- jannah."

He really feels for this girl he spent good 18 yrs with his mother yet he feels deprived of motherly love,how does she feel?

"Yalla come here, gist me on your new school" He said scooping and placing her on his lap,he held her hands in his,He ignored her for just a day but it's as if he missed her for 2 years.

"Am I forgiven?"She asked timidly.

Who is he not to forgive this little angel? Yes he isn't going to change the past by forgiving her but atleast he can pave why for the future. His mother once told him that:

"Keeping grudges tend to be more painful than the wound one suffered,forgiveness relieves the heart,liberates the brain,and gives peace to the mind. It gives us freedom."

"I've forgiven you my cutyy may Allah SWT forgive us all".

"Amin Daddy "she screamed happily.

"Oya gist me"He said clapping her hands.Very cute.

As if waiting for approval,she started pouring what she held for a day. Let's face it 14 hours roughly.

"My sheat partner is a boy
and he keepsh teajin(teasing) me because I can't pronounce shi(C).He even made jesht(jest),of me becaush I told him that you bathe me and cook for me."She complained.

"Uhum continue Zara'una"He said kissing her palm and she giggled.

"Our Anty shaid that Shamakatun means fish in Alabic,she can speak Alabic fluently."Yey she will teach us Alabic sho that I will communicate with Mommy in Al jannah. You shaid they shpeak Alabic there ko? "She squealed.

"Sure Zara'u"He replied pinching her beaty point(dimples).

"Ummi eshcorted me to the toilet and caftelia".

"Iyye what did you eat there? she ate chips and I took hollandia and cake."

"Daddy plomish not to leave me again Amish you. " She pouted.

"I promise you Zara Insha Allah "He said sincerely.

"Pinky plomish? "she said raising her pinky finger.

"Yes cute dimples". He did the same

And they linked their little fingers smiling happily.So cute.

"You didn't tell me your teacher's name".He asked feighing hurt.

"Sholi Abba her name is 'Anty Pre nursery Shanimu 'Alaye'.

He threw his head back and laughed what a name

"She even lote it on a paper yesterday with her phone number when you didn't come to pick ne early."

"But is she a muslim? "

"Yes Daddy she can speak Arabic remember?"

"Go and bring the paper let me confirm."

Tohm here is another chapter, boring huh? Please help Daddy with this teacher's name. Whoever gets it right will have a chapter dedicated to him /her. I managed to type 2 chapters for yah but this app disappointed me .I lost the whole drafts.Sha I managed to type this for you.
