Her Life

Sometimes, it's really depressing that all kids cannot enjoy their lives. Either because of financial problems or some other stuff.

Well, Alina couldn't enjoy it because of her family quarrels everyday. Being a short, fat girl with a big nose and curly hair of light brown and beautiful eyes of greenish brown, she always stood out of her schoolmates.

She hated quarrels to death. Whenever she heard someone shouting, she got immediately scared. She was gradually getting depressed by seeing her mother and father like this.

Main reason for this was their income. Only her dad in the household of 6, worked in a small private company with no job security and a very low pay.

Alina lived with her parents, a brother two years older than her, and her grandparents in a small house of their own in a small ally of Jordloam Street.

It was a very crowded street with shops on both sides and small stalls on the road and people shouting to sell their produces.

The worst part was that Alina was afraid of crowds and screams. She had some bad memories related to it.

Once, when she was 5-6 years old, her mother took Alina with her to buy groceries.With one hand, she was holding Alina's small, cute hands and with another, her purse.

While she was picking the vegetables, she had to leave Alina's hand and so she told her to stand there and not to move.

Suddenly, Alina felt a push, and she was dragged with the crowd. After struggling really hard to go back the direction she was dragged from, she fell to the ground and hit her head really hard that she was bleeding.

She became unconscious at that very moment and woke in a hospital.

She and her brother Sam went to a school nearby. And as it was not far away, they always reached on time by a 15 minutes walk.

Alina was the topper of her section and everyone in her school knew about her and stayed away from her except her best friend Sara.

She was frightened that if her schoolmates came to know about her financial background, they would bully her like they did to her old friend, Baron and forced him to transfer schools.

Many a times she just wanted to die. But being a muslim, she thougt to herself, "Mom says that killing yourself in Islam is haram". It was a sin to take your own life. She just couldn't use that option and was forced to live.

Being a 12 year old, she was mature than other kids and didn't mix with her classmates well. On the contrary, she behaved like an immature with her parents and always talked foolishly at home.

She always saw her friends enjoying their lives and slowly started to become jealous of them. As she was going under this process, she thought that she is an ugly girl with no real friends and no one really cares about her.

She started to stay at home all the time, missed her classes intentionally and started spending most of her time with mobile watching dramas, reading ebooks and webtoons. She became addicted to it as days passed by.

She knew all about how she was wasting her time but didn't do anything to stop herself from ruining.

As she was wondering what to do with her life, she saw that she was interested in romantic genres. She imagined many scenarios with her future lover.

She wanted to write or make dramas related to these. But she couldn't share it with anyone as she was a muslim. Romance or dating before marriage was like one of the biggest sins.
