Our Destined Connection

2. First Day to Work!

"Wake up Zoya!" My mom shouted.

"5 minutes mom" I said and slept covering myself from the bedsheet.

"Zoya you have only 5 minutes left to pray Subah... if you don't wake up now you'll have to miss Subah."

Oh crap! How could I have overslept..

I soon got up kicking off my bedsheet and looked the clock to see it was just 5 am.

"Mom it's only 5 am!" I shouted pissed off.

"I know, if you wake up now only you could finish your works and get ready to school."

"Mom this is not right...you never let me sleep, I thought I would have time to sleep after my exams"

"Really? Then who would pray for you? Should I? Stop your drama and go and pray and have your tea." Mom told and went away.

"Whatever" I muttered.

I got freshen up and took wudhu to pray Subah. After praying I asked dua (supplication from god). Then sitting on the mat I started talking to my lord."Ya Allah today is my first day to school...I hope everything goes well, and the day should go well."

After that I had my tea and started my household chores i.e Cleaning the house and sweeping.

Let me tell you'll one thing... In my house no maids are allowed... my mom thinks all our house works should be done by ourselves hence mom and I have divided our household works.

After sweeping I put my dirty dresses to the washing machine and went and had a bath.

I was getting ready to school when my eight year old brother Zayan...oops
Mr.Zayan came and asked" Didi, Are you coming to school with me or alone?" I saw the clock to see the time, it showed 7:30 am.

"Yes baba I'm coming with you." I told him and started wrapping my shawl.

"Come quickly... I'm getting late...I'll give you only 5 minutes...if you are coming hurry up or else I'm going..." Mr.Zayan said crossing his hands against his chest like a big man.

I smiled at him and replied" Yes boss...now you go and put your bag and wait for me..." to which he politely obliged.

I quickly finished my wrapping...then I took my bag and my phone and went to join Mr.Zayan.

"Hey Mr.Zayan, I'm ready...let's go." I said to an impatient Zayan who was waiting at the doorstep.

I wore my Shoes and walked towards the door when Mom called ,"Zoya Did you have your breakfast?"

Oops....No one could save me from mom's scolding now.

I turned and gave a sly smile to which she shook her head and said,"Zoya...How old you think your are now? Grow up...You are almost twenty and still I should remind you about your breakfast... Zayan is much better than you..." I turned to look him while he was making faces at me Happy that I'm getting scolded and excited coz mom told he is better than me. "Zoya! Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" I turned back to face her while she continued "Is this what you are going to teach your students? At least now be responsible." She finished her advice taking a deep breath.

"Your breakfast is packed and kept on the table, go and take it." She said.

I quickly took it and gave her a goodbye hug and she wished me good luck and without wasting time I caught Zayan by hand and walked towards the school.

As soon as we reached to school, I sent Zayan to his classroom and headed to the Sectional head's office.
