After few days...
"Now Noor should start going to school,many days have already passed. "Noor's father was talking to her care taker .
"Ok sir ." She replied
Then suddenly someone called Noor's father by his name from behind.
"Yaram ..... Yaram ."
It was Noor's grand mother who called the name. She was an old woman but energetic.
It could be guessed from her face that she was angry about something .
"What happened mom.." He was acting like he didn't know anything.
"You don't know !?"She almost shouted.
"No ." He calmly replied .
"What did you say to my niece ? She is going back tomorrow ." She says in a sharp voice.
"So what . It's her own decision..." He replies calmly.
"My son. She came to marry you. You must have said something that made her go back." She softened her tone .
"Mom, you know I don't want to remarry..." he sighs . "This is the matter of my daughter's future. I can't entrust my daughter's future to an outsider." He said in a persuasive manner .
"Outsider!? She belongs to our family. How could you say that?" Her tone became harsh.
He hears a voice from behind. Noor came running towards him, her voice defiant. "Dad! I don't want to go to school. See aunt is forcefully sending me to school." She said with great confidence . Like she was sure that no one would be able to send her school anymore.
He sat on his knees on the ground to match her height . His face looked completely different from a while ago. He asked her with immense love in his eyes. "Why don't you want to go to school, sweet heart?"
She innocently replied , "I want to go to mother ."
He raised his voice but not in anger but in fear, " After today, you will not take this this word out of your mouth, understood?" He said And hugged her tightly. As if he was afraid of losing her . His tone soften again and he asked. "Noor, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
She replied proudly . "I want to become a doctor. "
"How will you become a doctor if you don't go to school?" He took her face in his hand and gently said, "if you want to become a doctor you have to go to school and work hard .....Otherwise you will lag behind your friends in your life. " He tries to motivate her. " And if you promise to go school I'll take you out for a picnic..." He looks at her, her eyes shine.
"Dad I will definitely go to school and get first rank ." She said excitedly and innocently.
He patted her head. And asked the servant to get her ready for school.
After Noor left her grandmother wanted to continue the same conversation. She was not going to give up so easily.
But Yaaram didn't give her a chance to speak . He said Allah Hafiz and left.
( Allah Hafiz is way to say bye in Pakistan and it means "may Allah protect you".)
Noor went to school . She was in third grade.
A few mischievous children snatched her bag from her . And forced her to write their home work . Noor's grades were not very good she was good in everything except studies. She was an innocent child, so she was often teased by such children.
"Give my bag back!" She tried to take her bag back.
"First do our homework..." One of those bullies said.
The surprising thing was that she finished the work in no time .And those children were in eighth grade. Noor who was shocked herself checked the pages two times to confirm that se actually did it.
The children were looking at her with surprised eyes . They could not believe that the little girl completed the task which was so difficult for them in a few minutes .
They said that this girl must have copied and forbade this innocent girl to return her bag .
"I did it in front of you! Give my bag..." She tried to take it but they were too tall for her.
Now she was getting angry . She wanted to scratch the faces of these children.
In her anger , without thinking she punched one of the boys in his stomach and that boy fell down and was injured. His head was bleeding.
She got scared and did not understand anything so she ran away from there.
"Hey! Stop..." One of the boys said.
