The chirping of birds and bustling of trees made me feel better every minute. I was on my musallah until Baapu pop across the room.. He greeted didi and me with salaam and enfolded Thahir between his hands..
Baapu's face was gleaming properly with Iman. His forehead fluffed cause of sujud.. Mashallah he is a well practising Muslim.
"Baapu.. Dani told that she is studying at schools. She is well going with everything. Kyu mujhe bhi ese nahi hothi?"
(why dont I become like that?)
He kept back dinky back on bed with a sigh and seated me on his lap..
He continued by caressing my curly-pearly li'l hair..
"Nahi beti.. Hamare basti mei koyi bhi padne keliye school nahi jaathi..Or hamare gaav mei sarkar school bhi nahi..."
(No.. None go to school for studying in our area. And there is no govt school)
"kyu nahi ?! She should be sent to school.. Baapu look, I never wish any one to be scorched like what I had been witnessed.. Inaaya Zafar Farooki absolutely have to become a great woman.."
Anara di erupted in between. She meant it ! She had experienced the bitterness of life being illiterated.
But Baapu's face wasnt lit.. It was dim like a withered lotus ! Something vexed him inside..
"Tho beti.. Hamari gramvasiyoo kya kahoonga?"
( what will our villagers say? )
So that was the nuisance..
"Allah subhan ta'ala said 'Fala thakhshaunnas vakhshouni' in his kalam.. Which means Never worry people but beware of me ! "
Anara di rattled confidently. That energified baapu..
This is why I wished didi's presence..
Sometimes didi resembles to a pleader..
My glittering eyeballs fixed on to baapu's with lots of hope filled in it..
He nodded with comprehension.
"Inshallah.. Let me check any schools near.."
Wow!! Alhamdulillah
I will be educated !
I wanna become a respected woman for one day..
No girls should be discarded 'cause of illiteracy..
Girls too have rights..
Right to be free and safe wherever they are !!
This little maiden wished for equal rights for men and women one day in PAKISTAN !!
