someone once said to me future should be kept secret so that people struggle and you'll see best things will come for you. Am I suppose to believe this? I asked so many questions to myself and realize that time and experience are best teachers they will change you thoughts by crushing them. With time and experience you're able to see the things in different way. I believe God will answer our struggles so we have to believe that had chosen the best for us and in future we will receive that that's why He chose to keep future a secret .

"What happened?" He asked anxiously.
"Mom is calling, she told to me to get back by sunset"Her voice was shaking with fear." Samamah! Please drop me home." She sat in car.
"I will! But is it okay to?"
"Yes off course! Just hurry up."
"Okay" He agreed but his expressions showed that he was not satisfied.
The whole passage passed in tension, her home was there. He was very concerned.
"Is it okay to go like this? I mean I can come with you and explain everything to your mother." He was so worried.
"No its okay! What she do more than scolding, I can handle it." She smiled, waved to say bye and turned towards her home as she turned her smiley face turned into terrified face. She entered through main gate, the lights were off so she thought no one is awake.
"Where were you? When I gave you deadline to come by sunset so why on earth you came late." Mrs Swan was standing in hall, her mood was terrible.
" I'm sorry mother." She said in low tune.
"Don't you know you have appointment tomorrow? I have struggled a lot to get this letter,for your bright future how much I have worked have you forgotten all things and wasting your precious time in useless things"
"Yes mother I know you have worked very hard for me."
"So now it's time to pay us back. The CEO will ask you which post you want and you have to ask for director's post understand!"
"Yes mother but isn't it unfair to ask directly for such a big post. I am inexperienced and even not qualified for this."
"Just do as I say your father will hold the charge so don't worry!"
"Yes mother." The most obedient reply came.
"Have you eaten?"
"No mother"
"Well... Go to your room I'll send the meal there,eat it and I've selected a book for for you it is on your dressing,read it before sleep and also I've selected dress for tomorrow. Good night!" She was cold as ice and strict as stick.
"Good night!" She went upstairs. Opened her room's door,went in,close it and sighed. Her eyes unintentionally went on dressing a gift was there with black gift paper and on hanger there was dress of jade green color. She smiled sarcastically
"Every thing is chosen. That's great! My precious time won't be wasted."

"Give her fried rice,soup,a boiled egg and a glass of milk." Mrs Swan was giving instructions to maid.
"And sauces madam?"
"No sauces! It will ruin her taste buds and health. Take tray to her room and make sure she eat and read that book I am going to my room."
"Very well Madame"
Mrs Swan disappeared behind the wooded door of her room.
"I've done nothing wrong that's......that's what I should do... Yes as a parent I should have done this." Mrs Swan was trying to satisfy herself.

Zoemah heard knocking on door.
"Come in please!" She said humbly.
Maid came in and put the tray on side table of bed.
"Mam eat this, your mother told me to make sure you eat so please mam have it." She requested.
"Okay I'm eating." She smiled. She smile often.
"Do me a favor, my is hurting bring me some pain killers and sleeping pills." Zoemah said.
"Mam I can't give you medicine without your mother's permission. I'm sorry I have to tell her that I'm giving you sleeping pills."
"Just give me pain killers then... But don't tell mother please. I'm so sick of these medical tests. Just give me some pain killers and I'll be fine."
"Okay mam." She was hesitating for sure.
"Don't tell anyone and don't get caught."
The maid nodded and went out. Zoemah hold her head with her hands. Her expressions were painful and lips were pressed as she was trying to endure the pain.
After couple of minutes door opened and maid came in. She gave Zoemah pain killers.
"May you feel ease." She has pity in her eyes." I will tell your that you've read that book I have unpacked it. You should rest." Although she was poor but she can save some one, she had a generous heart.
"Thank you. Go and rest take this tray with you." She smiled painfully.
Maid took the tray ,turned the lights off and left the room.
"So,you've given her medicine." Mrs Swan was standing in front of maid coming out of Zoemah's room.
