chapter 3

                               1Zaini wanted to say something but her Father hinted to stay silent. Her mother saw it and said, "This is all because of you. You always keep on supporting her in all of her tantrums... Now she is out of our hands."Zaini's Father could not hold it anymore and burst out. "What has happened to you all? What if Naved had got an acceptance letter from such a prestigious university? None of you would have objected. But when my daughter has achieved something. Everyone is shouting at her... Why it is so difficult to digest, a girl getting successful in her career..? She has managed her life well till now and I am sure in future she will too. I am with her and I will see who can stop her...!!"Everyone was speechless after hearing it. They were convinced half-heart but no one dared to say anything further. Zaini who was sitting beside her Father, was in tears. She hugged her dad from aside. She could not utter a single word. She was overwhelmed by how her Dad took a stand for her.                                 2Zaini came back to her hostel and told Huma that her Father was happy to hear about her going to Korea and had convinced others to go for her but Prague was still mad at her."It's good news that your Dad is with you. I also have something to tell you", said Huma."What is it?""I am moving to Canada after my marriage", said Huma."Marriage???" asked Zaini in surprise."My dad has finalized a groom for me and after my final year exams which are soon, we will be engaged, and then after my internship, the Marriage, and then I will shift to Canada with him", said Huma."Waoo.. It's a long plan but why arrange marriage?" asked Zaini."Actually, I have known him since my childhood. He is my Dad's Friend's son. We used to go to each other's house with our parents. When I was in 8th standard, Uncle and his family shifted to Canada. He is also a dentist there", said Huma."Waooo... It is so good. I am so happy for you", said Zaini and hugged Huma."N... Quickly show me his photograph...", said Zaini teasing Huma.Huma opened her FB account to show Zaini his would be fiance's picture. "One minute, you said you will be getting engaged after your exams. But your exams will end after mine and by the time I have to reach Korea", said Zaini."Yes... I know", said Huma making a weird face."Then shift it to before exams na..""I can't do anything. The flight tickets have been booked. I was told yesterday only. It is a fifteen-day gap between your reporting to the university and my engagement", said Huma."No way, this is not happening. You are my one and only friend", said Zaini getting disappointed."You have to come to my marriage. Till then your internship will be finished there", said Huma.Of course. How can I miss your marriage!?" said Zaini.They chit-chatted for more time and then rushed to their colleges.                                   3Zaini was in her classroom. During class, she sent a message to Prague to meet after class.Everyone moved out after class except Prague and Zaini. Zaini got up from her desk and stood in front of the first desk where Prague was sitting."For how many more days are you going to be mad at me?" asked Zaini."You asked for the breakup""No. You said there is no reason to be together", said Zaini."And that is true too. Your decision is too sudden. You did not think about me before making the decision. For you, only you and your dreams matter not me. Actually, I am not in your dreams", said Prague looking away from Zaini."Please try to understand me. I like that country. I want to live there", said Zaini moving Prague's face towards her."Then go alone. Don't drag me with you", said Prague pushing away Zaini's hands from his face."What is the problem with living there..? You even eat seafood. Technology is far better there. The weather is also good", said Zaini to convince him."You may find it cool to shift there but I don't. I like staying here with my people. The language, understanding, and growing up in the same environment. You cannot find these things there", said Prague."Language can be learned and they also have almost the same beliefs. I have seen it in so many dramas", said Zaini."You and your dramas!!! You are going to be a doctor and still, your brain works too little. In all these dramas, nothing is true. It is all fictional to attract people like you to watch it.If you have seen Indian Dramas, do things happen like that in your family as shown in them??" said Prague to make Zaini understand the true side of the Entertainment Field."I understand what you are saying... But I can at least finish my internship there. Maybe I will want to come back", said Zaini.Zaini wanted to convince Prague anyhow. She wanted to stay with him as she was in love with him but her love for her career and good life and her crush was much deeper of which she was unaware.Zaini put her arms around Prague's neck."Please. Be happy for me. My happiness is incomplete without you", said Zaini making a cute sad face.After looking at Zaini's cute pleading face, Prague's heart melted a little bit but he tried to be stone again.Zaini gave him a soft kiss on one side of his cheeks and said, "Please... Please.."Then she gave a kiss on the other side of his cheeks and pleaded again.Prague pushed her back slightly and said, "What are you doing? We are in college... If someone catches us we will be suspended.""And you two have been caught red-handed!!" came a voice from the door.
