A new road.

This time last year, i passed my driving test. I still remember every single moment of the day, from the time i woke up and got ready. Only Mum knew, but i remember telling Nani to make dua for me and that i have an important 'test' today.

Allah [swt] answered a lot of people's duas that day. I remember how nervous i was and how Bhaiya tried to calm me down. I remember Bhaiya waiting for me at the end of the test. I remember my exact reaction and tears when i heard the man say that i passed. I remember calling my friends and family on the way back, i remember how Dad waited for me to come home just to see me and give me a hug before he even left for work. I remember Mama and Yasin coming over, and all the mishti's that we ate and gave out.

Alhamdulillah.

I'm glad my Mama saw me pass before Allah took him away. I remember the countless times he told me to take a test, and then 5 attempts later, i finally passed. I'm glad that he saw both me and Yasin pass, because he doesn't need to worry about who's going to be able to take Nani to the doctors and hospitals and stuff. Me and Yasin are here.

A new road opened. And i'm still on the journey.
