"You must be going, this is my final decision, one of our staff from finance department will accompany you, you'll receive the train ticket in your mail, check out the necessary things before departure" his T.L instructed Ahmed. After several refuses, Ahmed couldn't able to spend his only weekend at home, they planned Ahmed to organise an interview for some other clients at Vishak, they additionally make one more day to stay there to visit some places for their fun and relaxation.

But Ahmed wants to take rest on that only day, so he doesn't like that much to travel. Last Sunday he spent with his family to travel to his native in car since he alone know to drive car among his family members and that too, it's his favourite habit, Long driving, he'll usually spend time in driving car even he feels tired. It's four hours journey to his native and the same day, they returned. So he expected to take rest this Sunday, but unexpectedly he was made to push to his office trip.

He didn't visited Vishakapatinam (14 hours train journey from Chennai) , so he thought it will be good to visit a new place. He began to pack his luggage for 'two days stay', from his tooth brush to the identity proof. He didn't miss out anything, he is perfect in planning and packing up things accordingly to it. Everytime if he goes for some trip or long travel, he'll intimate Ridha, so he informed her about his office trip. She got excited than him, because Ridha also didn't visit much places other than her native , and only she visited ooty and kodaikaanal in her final year tour. She consider that tour as her long tour till now, so she was happy that he'll visit unknown places , but she had some secure feeling for his safe travel.

Then after getting into the train, he was happen to sit in the window seat. The long travel in a train during night time, that too seated near window will be his amazing journey, but he missed Ridha. A minutes later, Ridha called him to get to know his status about his seat, TTR verification, and the comfortability of nearby passengers, and 'whether he ate any' like , she asked many things rightfully to ensure his basic needs. She hunged up the call with uttering the usual greeting, 'fee amanullah' (with Allah's protection). As she couldn't get signal properly, she ended up the call soon.

With the 'ja jak-ja jak' sound and the half moonlight fills the dark sky, with the high speed of wind breeze blowing against his face behind the window, Ahmed sat there with a thought of having Ridha, seated opposite to her, he wonders how he will sight her when she sits in front of him that whole night time. The complete scenario gave him a happy feeling and thought to travel with her like this after their nikkah and slept over there with her in his mind.

The next day, he was welcomed into the large hotel, with sophisticated rooms and cushion bed, the entire set enriched the view of a five star hotel. After an hour, he freshened up and get outside for his interview with a client. An agent accompanied Ahmed and the other staff from his trip, he remains there till sending off them.

He decided to go to the nearby beach, and his office mates requested to buy some items from Vishak. So after enjoying with the waves hitting the shore, he mesmerized by seeing a man, who was drawing a little girl within few minutes. He got excellent drawing skill, so he quickly grabbed his phone and showed Ridha's picture to draw, he loved her than himself. But the man replied," This picture is unclear, I can draw a person in real, not by seeing another picture, it won't look exactly then, brother". Ahmed got a little upset, and thought to draw him, so he stood there and that man draws his entire profile. Ahmed looks too young and handsome, he always keep his body fit by involving in sports once in a two days or a week.

His curly dense black hair enlighten his tan toned face, both of his thick eyebrows meeting together at the tip of his broad nose, his pinkish thick lips quivering a slight smile and his little cute black eyes , all together gave a perfect profile in the picture.

He wished to show this art to Ridha in their meeting, but it's really hard, they meet once in a while, it may make take more months too. So he sent his pencil Art by taking a picture in his phone camera.

"How much will you charge for this?", Ahmed asked. The man said, "One hundred and fifty rupees". Really he wondered why he costs too low for his mesmerising talent, this is the mistake what road side sellers do. They sell their talents and energy to the lowest price, it's because of the reason that we gave them that lower state by our degrading look. Ahmed worried and gave Two hundred rupees only, he felt bad that he can afford that much, besides he had to purchase some more for his friends. He went to his room that night with more joy as well as with lot of tiredness.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Ridha's past starts:

"Eyes Right", Ahmed instructed the house members by signalling his lengthy sapphire blue flag towards the right, when he marched by the side of the V.I.P who stands on the stage to give honour. The house members marched by turning their gaze towards the guest of honour , hanging their right hand and shaking the left hand alone. Then they marched letting both their hands shake, when the command at the last one says, "Eyes Straight" with the strict tone in a loud voice, reaching the ears of her house captain so that he lifts the flag straightly and march the ground. The one who commanded Ahmed is no one but his love, Ridha.

Likewise, other house members followed one another and end the marchpast with the big bang. The sports day has gone too well, and during the relay, four members of each house should be running by holding their house colour steel rod. Ahmed is the last one to run in his group , since he is the captain. The one before him, fell down and the blood piercing from that boy's foot. Ahmed quickly left the game in middle way, lifted him and took him to the office room and made first Aid. That boy was scrunching in pain, and Ahmed slightly took the sharp stone which peirced his skin. Every one of the boy's class mates surrounded the office room and made 'izz' sound when he did that. Ahmed was too strong by heart, if it was Ridha, she'll get stuck by looking at the piercing stone, she don't get that much confidence to see a comman man in blood. She is too sensitive to those things and thatsy she hated to become a doctor.

When Ahmed turned away, he struck by the one who is gazing at him for the first time. He couldn't believe that she looked into his eyes. In this three months, Ridha always ignore his gaze. But this time she kept her gaze still on him, without taking back. Her eyes with little watery made him feel Real.

It was the first time both eyes met together, she saw a man showing mercy to one of her closest friend, her class mate.

After a while, Ahmed came to know the reason for Ridha's kind nature. That boy's name was Hamza, Ridha's class mate and her best friend too. He got little anger over the thought, 'She looked at me only because of helping her friend, why could she only understand me by my kind actions towards her closed ones'. But he felt a bit happy for some positive kind of look from her for the first time.

The sports day ended by awarding prizes to respective houses. Emerald got a winner up trophy and Sapphire got a runner up trophy. When the trophy was given , Ahmed name was called to the stage along with the vice captains and respective staffs, he shared the trophy with his team mates for a pose. Every one cherished the day with loud noise, some gangsters whistling behind, some with the claps, joy overwhelmed the atmosphere. After national anthem, students and staffs dispersed the ground.

A week later, it was an half-yearly examination for the whole school and the respective halls are announced on the notice board near watch man room.

Like how, a horrible thunder comes soon after glowing lightning, the stress of exams come soon after the joy of sports day.

As Everyone rushed to their exam halls after noticing the charts, Ridha made her way to the third floor of the other block and wrote her language paper-I well. Then while returning from her hall, she forgot to take her guide which she kept on the floor, front of her hall. "I'll get my guide and com!!" by shouting at Sadia, walking reversely, her back hit someone's back, realising it's warmness, Ridha turned to ask, "SOR...", since it's her mistake to walk reversely by shouting at her friend. But she engulfed her apologize to see the one who stopped discussing with his friend about some paper holding in his hand , it was him,
Ahmed. It was a perfect moment,

'they wrote their exam in the same floor, a hall after Ridha's exam hall. She wondered why her Rabbu is giving chances to meet him again and again, first on the ground for sports day practice, now she wants to meet him since they were in a same floor for writing exams', her thoughts vanished when Ahmed said something like excusing himself and gone away with a smirk on his face.

Ridha's past ends.....
-----------------------------------------------------------

Ridha got tired of waiting for an offer letter since it's been a month after she received her onboarding mail. In one way, she thanked Allah for His Guidance. It's like, Her Rabbu wants to relieve the pain of His slave as well as fulfilling her wishes. She asked suggestion to her mom, to go to madharsa, two stops away from her place. Because there is no ladies madharsa near her residence, so she thought to go there and gain some islamic knowledge. Being at home, simply wasting her time, and the best way to stress out her thoughts is the place where her Rabbu remembrance will be more.

"Verily in the rememberance of Allah, do hearts find rest".
Al-Qur'an(13:28)

Exact to these verse, she find peace and great news came that day of what she expected to happen from the day she stepped out of the JJ Nagar till now. She was longed to go to madharsa as like in JJ Nagar. The hazrath(leader of Mosque) announced that the inauguration of niswan ladies madharsa is going to be held on coming Sunday. This announcement made her feel more happy than ever. Allah made kabul(answered) her niyyath(intention). It's like Her Rabbu wants to relieve the pain of His slave as well as fulfilling her wishes. Thatsy her Lord arranged Madharsa in her mohallaa(area) itself. She waited for the day to attend the Islamic class from the beginning. She got excited that she'll be going madharsa daily after the long-long four years.

It is the place where she found peace to her heart and soul. Whenever she entered with heavy heart, she will return with a heart lessened it's burdens and she can able to show a positive attitude towards everyone around her In sha a Allah.
