It is Fajr prayer([ِصَلَاْةُ اَلْفَجْر:salāt al-fağr "dawn prayer"] it is one of the five mandatory salah[islamic prayer] and its prayed before the sunrise and it two rakat) I woke up, went to the bathroom brushed my teeth, took my ablutions (a ceremonial act of washing parts of the body) returned to my room took my mat for prayer, prayed my salah after my prayer I took my Quran (the Islamic sacred book , Is the Word of Allah sent to Our Prophet Muhammad through Angel Jibriel )and started to read before I go to my university. Today is my graduation day Alhamudullilah ([اَلْحَمْدُ لله] "Praise to be Allah")

When I finished reading My Quran it was already time for me to get ready for my university.

I wore my graduation dress went downstairs for breakfast then my brother will take me to my university.

My family were already in the dining hall

"السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته" (Peace be upon you, as well as the Mercy of Allah and His Blessing

"وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته "(And upon you peace ,as well as the Mercy of Allah and His Blessing

"Are you excited for your graduation day my dear " my mom asked me .

"Yes أمى (mother) am excited"

"Congratulations my younger sister"

"Thank you "

"Father " I nodded my head . My dad and I don't talk very well with each other when i was small upto now we never see each other am busy going to my madrasa ( educational institutions taught Quran)my school and he comes late and goes early to work.

He just nodded his head.

But today I feel something is going to happen but what I don't know. I didn't thought further, I thought I was nervous but i never expected my feelings to come reality.

After my brother and I finished our breakfast he dropped out to my university and him went to work after dropping me .

After my graduation ended I went home it was around Dhuhur prayer ([صَلَاْةُ اَلْظُهْرِ "Midday Prayer"] starts after the sun passes its zenith )

After I reached my home I took my ablutions and prayed my salah .

I went to the sitting room after my prayer and started to watch some movies and series' on Netflix. One of my favorite 'The money heist ' ahhhhhh love it. But when "Nairobi " died I cried why did she has to died she was cool.

I was into the series that I didnt saw my mom sat with me. Oh i forgot to mention my mom is pregnant she is in her 5th month. I love my mom she is the only who understands me (A/N: all of mom's are the same they know you the best)

"My dear how are you? How was the graduation day ? You know am pregnant or I would have come to your graduation. Your dad is as usual busy and your brother also he is like your dad I think he loves his work tooo much that he sometimes forget his mom"

"Am fine. Today was good I enjoyed it. It's ok I know you are pregnant mother. Dad it's not the first time he missed my graduation or any of my school parents day. And mother my brother loves but I love you moreee"

"Now you graduated you have time now I need to polish your cooking techniques you know you are a girl you should know how to cook when you get married what will you do. Your husband will love you and also your children if you cook them and not a maid or buying junk food from outside everyday. Now you are grown up you finished your university what else do you need you should think about your future."

"Mother I know but I don't want to get married early now I graduated I want to work like my brother do what I love and am only 24 there is more to learn. Mother don't think too far when I reach somewhere in my live will I settle nobody knows what will happen tomorrow everything will go as Allah Wish."

My mother just looked at me, she could see my ambition to go further and further in my life but we all know in my family my dad doesn't like a girl to work he believes she is destroying his reputation. He never wanted me to learn my mother pursued him until Alhamudullilah I reached here .

But this is my life I want to decide myself but who knows what will happen in the future or even tomorrow.

Alhamudullilah it is a new day hope it will be a happy day for me. I thank Allah for this day, you may never know if you will die during your sleep

I went downstairs for my lunch. Today I don't have to go to University or do chores or do anything i was in my room prayed my Fajr plus Dhuhur in my room. I had my breakfast in my room too.

As always at this time both my brother and dad, they are at their work place and my mom with her friends.

But I was surprised to see my brother in the living room and my mom in the kitchen and my dad outside the garden reading some newspaper I guess.Today must be a holiday I thought.

"Hey bro why are you at home you workaholic! Did dad gave you a holiday or my dad gave everyone a holiday because I can see him sitting in the garden outside." my dad has a company hence after my brother finished his studies he started to work in our dad's company but most colleagues doesn't know that he is their boss son he wants to show people that he doesn't depend on his dad but himself.

"Hi my lil baby sis , how are you I can see sleeping too much can make you look ugly, good you should practice sleeping. And I don't know dad said everyone should be at home I think he wants to say something and am not workaholic I just love my job."

I just ignored the way he called me "What kind of news, I don't like news when it concerns my dad. Do you know what he wants to say ?"

"No I don't know but if I may guess maybe your wedding." he laughed. He loves to tease me he knows I don't want to marry now or ever marriage and I are rivals.

"Maybe yours, you may never know."

I went to the kitchen to see if there is food.

"Mother السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته how are you. Is there food am hungry?"

"Oh my dear you are awake. Yes there is food. I want to talk to you but first you should eat."

"Ok"

After I finished eating my mother sat with me. I don't like when my mom says let's have a talk.

"Yesterday I talk you about cooking and maybe having family in your future. Now what am going to say don't be angry listen to me in a calm mind."

"Ok" I don't like where this talking is heading.

"Me too I was shocked when your father told me this but my dear he is your father he loves and he thinks about your future so don't overthink that your father hates you. Do you remember when you were in your first year in university an uncle came, your father's friend do you remember?"

"Yes I do remember." that uncle left me a big impression to me. They way he talks that day I wished he was my father. He has four girls and two boys but he loves his girls now they work. Whereas my dad he doesn't like me to work even my mom doesn't work.

"I didn't know why that day he came, I was thinking that how comes this man came. He was a busy man, has many business to run, has billions of money in his bank. I know we also have billions of money but in level maybe he is kind of richer than us. So what I want to say is your father never told me he came here because of you. He wants you to marry his eldest son."

When my mother was talking I predicted maybe my brother what he said may come true but I said maybe that can't happen but when she finished her last sentence, my instinct became correct. A man who I was happy with and prayed to Allah that my dad becomes like him now I don't want it ,this is worse than that.

"And why didn't dad told us why he came here first. Maybe my mind would me ready by then. We would chat, know each other if we couldn't understand each other then this things may not happen. I don't know who he is, what he is like, how dis dad expect..."

I couldn't find my word. I was angry at my father, even if he didn't want me to know the truth he could have told mother. I know my mother, she knows me the best she is like friend rather than just my mother she wouldn't agree this thing because she know what I want and I don't want marriage now. I didn't reach where am proud of myself.

"Mother but why did he agreed." I was sooo angry that I didn't know what to do. I know my dad doesn't like that much but sometimes we understand each other without talking he could have told me.

"My daughter you also know that one day that you will get married it's ok to marry now there are many people I know that their daughters married and they have children and also have a career. They also work you can also work after your marriage."

When I heard my mother said like that I was kind of angry. "Mother there is also a possibility that he won't allow me to work and if we fight where should I go, should i come back home but with what face should I come back."

I was frustrated, angry but to whom should I vent my anger.

After i talked to my mother i went to my bedroom, I prayed for to rakaa to ask guidelines from My Lord. Then I slept because of this terrible headache i have all of a sudden.

i woked up before dinner. I went downstairs to eat but when I saw my dad face I recall what happened before and my anger doubled.

I didn't greet anyone, I ignored all of them I want them to know am against this so called marriage. I sat on my chair and I started to eat .

"My dear how are you now? How do you feel?" my mother asked me.

"Good."

"Whom are you showing your attitude, first when you came downstairs you never greeted us, you ignored us your family because of what? That I agreed for you to marry without your consent but am your father what I do is what I know is good for you. And secondly what did your mother do have you forgotten she is pregnant and is that the way you should talk to her she is just asked you how you were could you not say something like 'I am good mother now I feel ok how is my sibling doing are you fine' can't you not say like that."

"Wow dad at least you know why I acted like that. I know you are my father and I know you do what's best for me but you could have told me this 'so call marriage' why now. I know we don't talk much like you and my brother talk, we sometimes leave our conversation with no conclusions but we have an understanding with each other right? so I believed my dad won't do something against me but if he does he will tell me or at least tell my mother, but no you broke my believe in you dad. Why did you not say anything about when my 'so called future father-in-law' came. If not at least what you could have done is give me his phone number so that we can talk, understand each other see if both of us agree to this. This marriage is not between you father's but us children's. It is not you who will marry him but me..." before I could continue talking I felt pain in my cheeks. He (my father) just slapped me. He never in my entire life slapped me.

"Is that what you think of me like I am thinking what benefits me in this marriage hence I agreed to this marriage without your consent."

"Maybe you do I may never know why you agreed in this marriage. And what did you saw in this marriage?"

"Get out of my house. Now you became an adult hence you are talking like that to me."

"You think I want to stay here. Dad I never talked to you like that because I respect you and because of my mother."

my mother interrupted us," my dear husband and my daughter calm down let us talk in a calm way ok. No one is leaving ok please can you calm down."

"My dear wife you saw how she is talking to me this shows our daughter is old enough to feed herself she doesn't need us. She thinks the world outside is easy let her know how much we protected her, gave her a shelter, food."

"Mother you also calm down am already calm. You are pregnant don't worry about me. Mother don't interfere I know you care about me but I want my father to tell me why he agreed and if he agreed why never told me anything."

"Is there a need to tell you about it. Just get out of my house and if you want to stay here you have to agree to my condition and my condition is to marry that man."

"Now dad are you making me choose. It doesn't mean that you are my father you should force me into something that I dont want."

We never saw when my mother fainted and I never saw when did my brother left ,I was wondering why was he not talking.

We heard somebody fall on the ground and when we checked I saw my mother on the floor

"MOTHER!!!!"

"DEAR!!!"

"Mother are you ok."
