Seeking help!!
As the call for prayer came from the city mosque, Fasla covered her head with the scarf which was misplaced to her shoulder. Seeing this I smiled and asked ' Do you remember Allah only when you hear the call for prayer? ' She smiled and confirmed that the scarf was on her head.
Fasla was sitting diagonally just in front of my seat. We were in the same class for Entrance Coaching at Science Institute, Manjeri. We were 30 students in it with two girls. As Ummer sir's maths class completed it was time for us to leave. I was staying in the Science Institute hostel. Sreehari and I came out of the class. He left home bidding me good bye. No one was in my hostel from my class. So I was about to leave. Suddenly I heard someone calling me. I turned back and saw Fasla with Jisha. Fasla asked ' Are you to hostel ?'. I said Yes. ' Can you do me a favour? '. She said. I said her to speak out. ' Can you give me a company till my hostel? I am afraid to go alone. Daily Jisha accompanies me, but today she wants to go to her cousin '. She added. Fasla was in a Ladies hostel which had a way in front of my hostel. There will be many men on the road which might have scared her. I said her to come with me. I felt proud of that call from her. It was for the first time a girl had asked me a help. When we walked I felt like a brother taking his sister home. We spoke of our personal details and reached my hostel. I left her till the gate of her hostel.
Walking back to the hostel I was very happy. In my life i never thought I would face such a situation. I thought myself to be a tough guy.
