Ch. 16Her College Life


In this class, Tara could not get special education and was very worried during the papers while there was some construction going on in the house and thus she was not calm.
The chemistry and English exams did not go well and Tara was afraid of failing these subjects, Mr Ahmed had given Tara a target of 800 marks, and now only one thing was on her mind "Somehow she will cross this target and avoid embarrassment in front of Mr Ahmed or not".

Right from the beginning of class 10th, Tara started working hard and completed her syllabus very well.
At the same time, she was worried about the results of the 9th exams, so once in her dream, she got the same number of marks as she saw in reality. Because she was taking more interest in prayers with the Qur'an she was growing up spiritually.

In this class, the headmistress once applied mehndi on her hands Tara, then seeing her trembling hands, she said "Your hands were trembling due to heart disease, and you should get it treated", but Tara didn't respond and became silent. She did not tell them anything about the real reason behind the trembling of her hand and everyone became silent after seeing it.

People were amazed at Tara's ability she applied the best mehndi and wrote very sweetly with trembling hands. All work was done in the best way by her.
Since childhood, Tara had broken a lot of dishes and dropped things many times because as soon as she saw Mr Ahmed's anger, things would slip out of her hands and fall to pieces.
He would be scolded more and her shivering would never end.

The school trip was going on for the first time and Tara was not allowed to participate in any such activity from home.
After the insistence of the teachers and repeated calls at home, it was with great difficulty that Mr Ahmed allowed Tara to go along with the trip.
But a week before leaving the trip, Mr Ahmed fought with some people and they beat Mr Ahmed a lot. He was much injured and Tara wept very much as she got a fever.

She went to school and her condition was very bad. She said, "This accident happened with my father, so I would not go on the trip". Extreme love for her father was reflected in her eyes.

This time Tara's class celebrated her birthday and for the first time she found out what other people thought of her. Many birthday cards were gathered around her and she became very happy to see how much class fellows liked her.

Mrs. Ahmed told Mr Ahmed that this kind of birthday had been celebrated, so as a thank you, Mr Ahmed sent sweets to Tara's class, Tara liked it very much but couldn't thank her father.

The 10th exam was also held and Tara went with Mr Ahmed and as usual from the examination hall to home only one sentence was asked how was the paper?
And Tara would tell the whole situation in reply, this time the papers were very good and Tara herself was feeling herself crossing her target.

At the Farewell party, Tara wore a dark gray frock and without make-up, this simple girl looked different.
She had a distinct identity among girls, but her beauty and innocence captivated people even in this simplicity.

On the last day of school, she cried profusely because she was partying with her classmates. She loved the school walls, the teachers, and her friends. It makes her sensitive more in search of love and that was the reason why Tara became the figure of love herself in search of love.

Matriculation was completed and Tara was now living at home, hoping to be allowed to go to college, but for now, it seemed impossible.
She used to say anxiously Mrs. Ahmed "If Baba won't allow me to study, I will study privately but I have to complete my studies".
Mrs.Ahmed consoled her to get good marks then she would read more and get graduation, she would get hopeful and pray for her good marks.

At the same time, the family members also faced an allegation that was put on Tara's character. Because the character of the one who wants to be dropped is destroyed, therefore Tara also has to bear the blame for her character.
It was that time when Mrs.Ahmed did not believe in Tara and Tara was once broken because she had to prove her purity, which was not an easy task.
Time is the best medicine and it proves everything, so time proved Tara's innocence but there was a grudge in her heart that she could not prove herself innocent at first Mr Ahmed's love was not available and now Mrs. Ahmed also showed insecurity, so this time was very difficult for Tara.

She was becoming a very serious type of person with time and instead of becoming strong, she felt herself getting weaker.

Mr Ahmed's attitude was not changing, however, with time, he was trying to understand and teach Tara from time to time, he gave Tara all kinds of freedom, such as dressing, wearing, eating, drinking, and going anywhere. Tara had no obstacles.
But the fear of Mr Ahmed in Tara's heart did not allow her to do anything freely.

Once Tara was doing some work and Mr Ahmed was looking at her trembling hands when he noticed Tara's ingrown nails and ordered them to be cut.
Similarly, one day when a guest came to the house, Tara was looking at the guest while giving food to Mr Ahmed, when Mr Ahmed advised Tara not to make eye contact or look at anyone. And till now Tara never looked into anyone's eyes and whenever someone spoke to her, she would look away.
While these things were increasing her innocence and purity, at the same time, her confidence level was becoming decreased.

She used to notice every little thing of Mr Ahmed and always tried not to give him any chance to complain.
If Mr Ahmed would go into the room, Tara would go out and that's how time passed, both father and daughter lived like strangers under one roof.

On the day, Tara's matric result was going to be announced, Mr Ahmed was not at home and he knew that the result would be announced today.
The whole day passed but Tara did not know the result and Mr Ahmed was also calling the house repeatedly asking for the result.
Finally, at 8 o'clock in the night, Tara came to know that she had crossed her target by getting 868 marks, and at that time, Tara was beyond happy, she was only happy that she got 868 marks and that given target had been achieved.

Mrs. Ahmed hugged Tara and kissed her forehead and wished her more success.
In the morning, Mr Ahmed was told that he was happy in his heart but he did not express his happiness to Tara much and advised Tara to work harder.
Maybe they weren't too appreciative of Tara's success to make her try harder and be a better person, but if she wasn't praised for the children's success, it would break their hearts, and Tara was hungry for love anyway.
Tara thought that if she showed Mr Ahmed good marks in science, he would be happy and praise Tara by hugging her, but that dream was still unfulfilled.

Tara was now walking around Mrs. Ahmed saying "My result is good and now I have to study more give me permission"
Mrs. Ahmed informed Mr Ahmed about the whole situation and Mr Ahmed left the house without telling Tara and went for her admission to the best Punjab college.

The college was located in the city and Tara lived in a village. The college fees were too high and the car fare to reach there was also high. Tara did not want to burden her parents, so she refused to go to Punjab College.

On asking the reason, Tara said that she would not be able to adjust to the people of this city environment, so she has to get admission to a normal college.

A friend of Mr Ahmed was teaching at a college nearby. He talked to his friend and went to visit the college himself.
Mr Ahmed himself selected Tara's subjects and group and after visiting the college himself took Tara to college.
While going to college, Mr. Ahmed advised Tara to listen carefully to the lecture and make her notes and also said that if she doesn't like this college, let him know, we will get admission elsewhere, but Tara got everything OK.

She had become a person who was content with what Mr Ahmed said, what he said, what he thought of as a line on iron.

She entered the college dreary and nervous and seemed satisfied enough with the lectures that she decided to complete her ICS in the same college.

Mr Ahmed would take Tara to college every day and he would sit there till recess to get a taste of the environment and the people there.
Similarly, for a month Mr Ahmed only focused on Tara and her college and did nothing because he knew that Tara was a girl who lived in every situation and she would not have the courage to complain so he wanted to see everything himself so that Tara would not face any problem.

The distance between Mr Ahmed and Tara was not ending, but they were getting to know each other and caring about each other's happiness.
Mr Ahmed wanted to fulfill Tara's every need and desire but he probably didn't realize that Tara's greatest need and greatest desire is Mr Ahmed's love.

It didn't take much time for Tara to show her intelligence and ability in college and soon she managed to make a good place in the whole college, she was made the GR of her class and now the responsibility of the whole class was in Tara's hands.
Along with her intelligence and hard work, she also possessed the best temperament and therefore treated everyone with a smile.
Respecting her teachers very much and obeying Mr Ahmed's orders, she never missed a lecture in her entire college life and used to make her notes.

Mr Ahmed kept asking Tara about her studies and as soon as he got a break, he would visit the college himself so that there would be no problem.
He told Tara "You're studying as you are fond of this but there are only five percent chances of a job for you".

Tara only wanted to make Mr Ahmed happy by being successful and she had no other dreams and to achieve that goal she wanted to study.
All his staff was very much influenced by Mr Ahmed because no father is worried about his children like he is figuring out the college and other situations for his daughter but even the teachers were surprised that Why is Tara, the daughter of such a confident and noble man, so shy and afraid?

Tara used to do everything well, but she did not look satisfied, that's why the teacher used to ask many times that Mr Ahmed is a very cheerful and sensible person, but why is Tara so restless?
