Assalamualaikum,

i wanted to post a story so I am giving a very short one. I just wanted to increase my post.

**********

Staring at the smooth white paper with inks on it, I quickly drifted my eyes away to the well crafted brown door as soon as I heard someone's footsteps coming. Then, the door was slowly pushed so that the maid could make its way to me while carrying a tray of foods.

"Here is your supper, Miss" The maid put the silver tray on my glass table and head off to her place.

I quickly took a sip of my coffee and continued reading a book. I am studying while waiting for my parents. They had a big meeting at somewhere that I, myself don't know. But oh who cares, its not me who should attend the meeting anyway. Oh, I'm a 16 years old girl. Yes, I am still studying in my high school. Its already 11.45pm, I should be sleeping now but I insisted on reading books because I want to tell a great news to my parents.

After one and half of hour waiting, I heard a car engine sound getting into the house as gate opened. I was too happy because they were getting back, I waited in front of the door. Well, I'm the one who opened it anyway. I smiled at them yet they just throw me a boring face. But I know, they must be tired.

"Mom!Dad!" I screamed happily as they went to me.
"What is it dear? Do you have something to tell us?" My father asked forcing a smile to appear on his face.
"Well, I got the best results in my high school and.....they were picking me as one of the best student candidates!" I said happily.
"Ohhh...Okay baby. Thats great. Now lets go to sleep okay?" My mom said patting my head and get inside so as my father.

Thats all? After what I have done, is that all their reactions? You know that I wanted more than that. I've always thought that they were not supportive. I've always thought that I'm a loner. But I know that they are nice. They tried so much to support me even though they were very tired and busy. But, can at least they take a day off? You know, spend a day with me? I feel so lonely but I have to understand them too. If it wasn't because of them, I may not enrolled in a religious school. They worked hard for me so that I could attend an expensive school for the best education because they wanted their daughter to be success in religion and academic.

I don't want to dissapoint them but I just need to spend a day with them and its enough, I guess. Sometimes, I think why some of the students didn't really worked hard for their educaions and stuffs. They got all what have they desired, love, money, high educations but all they were doing all the time is...wasting. I felt sorry. Seriously, they are wasting their good opportunity. Never mind then, all I wanted to say is, be grateful to what you already had and use it wisely.

So I just head off to my bedroom and landed my body on the bed that was so bouncy. Not long after that, I fell into a deep sleep. Early in the morning, I woke up for my subuh prayer, then, I recite Al-Quran. Without realizing, I saw a droplet of my tears fell onto one of the pages as I read the Al-Quran. I'm glad although I have no one else to depend besides HIM, the Almighty Allah. I still have my god.

Slowly, as sun tries to make its appearance early in the morning, its light shines through my window glasses as if it was giving my room some light. I hop on to my bed and take a novel at the side of the bed and started reading. This is how I spend my time after my prayer. I was reading the novel so much that suddenly, everything went black.


okay okay okay. I fell asleep just now. I woke up when I heard a knock coming from the door.

"Come in." I said while putting back the novel at the side of the bed.

My maid came in and told to go out with my eyes folded with a piece of cloth. It was weird. Are these maids trying to kidnap me? Who knows, since maids here are 'crazy money'. I don't know but I trusted her easily so I went out with her guiding me. Suddenly, I heard someone throws the confetti. I quickly take of the folded cloth from my eyes and saw a big cake in front of and some delicious foods. There, behind the cake, stand two old people smiling at me.

"Congratulations my dear!" My mom said as she hugged me. I was like so shock that I didn't make any moves. Are they celebrating for my success?
"Well, this includes your birthday." He said smiling at the same time. I was ery touched by them. Although they aren't gonna celebrate it early, they.....huh, you should know yourself.XD
"Anyway, these are the tickets for us to go to the New Zealand as you wished long ago." My mother said showing me the tickets. I was wrong. I am not lonely. I have my parents with me, and aslo Allah. It seems like Allah knows what he does.

Allah, thank you for this awesome thing that you've arranged for me.
