My lost self
The next morning, I woke up around 8:00am. Ohh! no one woke me up for sahuur, I don’t think I can fast without eating, so no fast today that’s quite nice, I said. Then I remembered the challenge🤔 ,Eiiiiii…….. I can’t miss such opportunity and I can’t keep the fast without eating.. What do I do?(I kept thinking). I can actually faint if I don’t eat and I can’t afford to miss the opportunity of winning the challenge ..owww😖😖ohhh my goodness why can’t good things come easily without stress…goshhh!!!, I’m definitely hooked down with this challenge anyways. I will just continue with the fast and break it, if I can’t cope any longer I concluded. Today’s going to be such a long day sighs………,
I quickly packed my bag and off to school. The class session began as early as 9:00am and as at 12:00pm,my stomach began to rumble….owwww my poor tummmy😣😣😫😫. I was weary and my eyes were droopy, I became impatient, just wanted to leave the class and get some snacks.
On my way to the school cafeteria,I met Dr.Fatimah, here she comes-the disciplinarian. salaam alaikum Aaliya, how’s the fast going she asked? Walaykum salaam- I replied, I’m trying my best. May Allah make it easy for you,I hope you haven’t forgotten the challenge?
That question really hit me as I was about to break the fast.Then I preceed to ask,Ma!! are we allowed to fast without eating sahuur? I narrated how I couldn’t wake up for sahuur because I slept late. She said” The first condition for fasting is intention” Do you have the intention of fasting today? she asked.
If yes,you can continue the fast. Thanks ma I replied.Now, I’m left in confusion. A flashback strikes through my mind as I remember saying to myself yesterday night that I would wake up by 5:00am for sahuur before Nana splashes water on my face.So does that means,I can actually continue the fast?.Phewwww…….. Oh no!I kept grumbling as I have no other choice than to continue the fast.
I went back to the class feeling disappointed, rested my head on the locker and slept off. I woke up to a tap from my friend, Aaliya! Aaliya,she kept tapping me,”Class has ended” as at around this time I was already so weak and was feeling seriously dizzy .Will I make it back home? I asked myself,I got up with so much difficulty as I packed my bags and dashed out of the class.
I headed towards the gate and boarded a bus. The bus was so crowded as I managed to sit beside a very huge man. When I was about to alight, the bus became rowdy as some passengers were struggling to enter at the same time. As at this time,I could no longer see properly as I was already feeling too dizzy.
I woke up to several water splash on my face..pshhhhhh, a lot of people gathered around -wait! What happened? Where am I? Did I faint? I was left in confusion as I struggled to comprehend what was going on. The lady beside me kept rubbing my back, “Bring the water ” she screamed…as at this point i felt super exhausted and I could no longer continue with the fast, she offered me some bottled water to drink, and I collected the bottle………………………..
Did she drink the water? Has she given up so quick ? How about her precious shopping voucher? She has come along way to keep up, so why now? Poor aliyah what did she do?
