Author’s POV
If we equally have the opportunity to choose what we really want, no one would choose a bad storyline and thus we will accept challenges to come as far as it would be a great ending after enduring all.

Khadijah and her siblings leaved for school on Monday. On getting to the school premises, every student where standing outside the gate.  A feew student were asked to come in for questioning likewise some teachers.

Khadijah – (Asked on of her teacher she met outside the gate) Good morning ma, please ma what’s going on here?

Mrs Uche – The school is on lockdown because of the death of a fellow student. Precious Anord (may her soul rest in peace)

Khadijah – But why are they carrying out investigation after accusing Mr Abdulrasaq of the same crime?.

Mrs Uche – That’s a good question… According to sources, The diseased Dad (Mr Anord) thinks there’s more behind his daughter’s death. And he believes Mr. Abdulrasaq has no hands in it.

Khadijah – Alhamdulilah, Thank God. I hope they find the real culprit.

Mrs Uche – I hope so. I am really so disappointed with this whole thing going on. It shows our school isn’t safe and if the government should take more action they’ll shut it down.

Khadijah – They shouldn’t shut it down oo… Me I want to graduate oo. I can’t enroll in another school again.

Mrs. Uche – (Laugh) Don’t worry my dear you will graduate.. The worse won’t happen.

Khadijah – I hope so ma… I pray everything gets back to normal.

Mummy Khadijah – Hehh??… So the father believed him (Abdulrasaq). Thank God oo

Khadijah – that’s it mom, we need to pray for him. Everyone of his neighbours let’s come together and pray for is sake, there’s nothing more powerful than that mom.

Mummy Khadijah – you talk true oo… I just realized that the same suggestion that Abdulrasaq would have made. I think the Young Scholar wants to see how much we truly care about him.

Khadijah – we must not let him down.

Mummy Khadijah – Insha Allah… Pick that beans fast, I need you to carry food to him, he would be so hungry right now.

Khadijah – since yesterday. I hope they didn’t lay their filthy hands on him.

She hurried to complete her work and she got set to bring the food for Abdulrasaq. Meanwhile Abdulrasaq was locked in a cell so he could pray (observe Salat ) anytime he wants. Inside his cell there was this one notorious criminal.

Criminal  – you pray more than five times daily, that’s more the prayer for a Muslim believer.

Abdulrasaq  – everyother prayers are referred to as nafila… In hard time we must learn to be more steadfast.

Criminal – you are a strange person… Who are you and what’s your name

Abdulrasaq  – My name is Abdulrasaq Mohammed… What about you, what’s your name?

Criminal – My name is Malik Khan.

Abdulrasaq – you’re a Muslim

Criminal – yes I am. … I heard they call you the Young Scholar, why?

Abdulrasaq – (smiles) soon you’ll get to know…
