"1st Day of my College"

~Alarm Ringing~

-Ignored-

After Some times,

"It's time! Wake up, Jen!" her mom shouted.

"Mumma, what's the time?" asked Jen.

"You just have 10 more times to complete your prayer or else it could be too late"

"OMG! only 10 minutes more!?"

I think I must quickly get up & complete it as soon as possible.

After praying.

"Mum, what's the time?"

"You completed your prayer before sunrise that's probably not late"

"Thank god!"

"Jen, It's your first day of your college & unlike anyone, you're doing two courses @ the same time, I hope you complete it successfully!"

"Sure Mom! I can! I'm a hard-working girl, you know"

"Yes! you are!"

My Mom went to cook food for the family & I was excited to go to the college & was eagerly waiting to experience a new life with new set of people. I started preparing my stuff to go to my college (i.e) my two colleges & I was less cared to help my mom as she already had a servant to help her out. My mom is a good cook where she cook for atleast ten memebers though we are a nuclear family she do cook a lot as we run a mess. As there are three rooms, we use one & the other is used by my paternal aunt & the middle room is used by the students who come from the village & pursue their dreams of becoming a teacher in my city. You heard it right! I don't have my own room, we share them. Bruh, we live in India! I went to take a shower where I take atleast half an hour. I know it's too long, but I do take a lot of time to shower myself, sometimes it takes 45mins as well. After cleaning myself, I dressed up, ate my lunch & took my back pack & was ready to leave. I don't know where did I kept my watch so I started searching it for a long time & I didn't get it, I then asked my mom. She searched it up for me & I got my watch eventually. Tbh, I have to admit that half of my life is spent on searching things. Yeah! that's me! a careless talented person. & now I'm wondering where did I keep my keys. I do have my mom to help me out by scolding me while she's searching. Thats okay! I deserve it. I'm doing two Colleges & you guys could be wondering; why? how? for what? so the answer is I go to one of the college to pursue the worldly life & the other is to pursue the life of the hereafter. Basically, I'm majoring in Mathematics & also learning my religion, that is why I mentioned the life of the hereafter. I'm religious, at the same time I'm not. So, that's me! I'm a good athelete in my school days & also lead my team in Kho-Kho. I also play badminton but not a professional in this. You can imagine me as a thin young lady of 17 years old.

"It's getting time, where are my keys"

"Why don't you hang it? Am I a slave for you to search it for them always, uh?"

"Mom, I didn't mean that!"

"Why don't you search yourself"

"I did it, I just can't find them. I just need your help for this one last time"

"You don't even help me in the kitchen but I have to help you in every single stuffs of yours, do things by yourself!, I go it! Here's you key"

"Thanks mom!, Dad you there? It's already late, just drop me"

Though I have learnt how to drive Bike since from 7th grade, I didn't drive myself to the college because, I don't know the way.

"Come on dad! It's already late"

"Coming! Just a minute!"

Finally, I reached to the college with my dad's help.

I saw a lot of people with cheerful faces & Some seats were left in front & a lot was occupied in the back. I saw a friend of mine from the old school, where we learnt together till the 10th grade in an Anglo-Indian school. We weren't together in the high school as we split to 2 different schools after that. She was sitting with her friend I guess. I then sat next to her & they both were talking to each other more than they could talk to me. Yeah, I was probably left alone. I felt that loneliness even when I'm surrounded by people. I felt the silence in me surrounded by a loud of noise.

After sometimes, There arrived a teacher in our classroom & yes, I was excited to listen her. She then started with beautiful introduction about herself then about the college & continued speaking about Eman. She gave very good example & explained them futher. All I was reminded on that day was "It's necessary to clean your soul as you clean your body". This got captured in my mind & the rest of my life. After she left, the female Admin and another teacher addressed us about the discipline of the college. They read out all the rules & regulations that should be followed. It was boring but okay, because I have to understand that all the colleges give importance to these rules.

It's 12.45pm, & I have to leave the college & go to the other college. The morning College actually ends at 1.00pm but I asked them permission to leave me 15mins early as I have to reach their on time. Not only that, I even have to eat my lunch & also pray. This wasn't an easy task at all.

I then raised my hand & told the teacher that Inhave to leave. I felt a little awkward for disturbing the whole class & to seek permission. The teacher told okay, & then I left. I grabbed my bike hurriedly & then left asap. I thanked God for arriving on time, though the distance was 2.5Km & jammed with traffic & signals. I then have to pray or else it could be too late to do. After washing myself, I quickly prayed & entered the class. The teacher warned me not be late again as I reached there at 1.15pm. I then entered the class & the lecturer gave instructions. I was damn tired. I wish this hour would pass so quickly. I ate early in the morning at 7.00am & now its 2.00pm & my stomach started to ache because of my hunger. I wasn't able to control my hunger anymore.
