My Little Imani and Her Ambition

Assalamualaikum...

Imani asked for my help to print her 1st attempt at 80-words-essay competition. I knew she was on this writing thingy from the past 1 week, but put no real attention to it. One - I know she can write it well. Two - Imani is a smart girl. Alhamdulillah. I have no worry for her study yet. 

Yup. Its not a good action. Regardless of her current achievement, I SHOULD NOT take it for granted. She can use the attention. And damn well, she may crave for it. My bad.

So, when she sent me the email and asked me to print it, I just simply print the paper and not really reading it. There were two topics, My family and My Ambition. Only during on the way back home, whilst nothing to read on, I really grab the paper and read thoroughly.

It sent bullets deep to my heart.

Twice.

One.

She put her thoughts in her writing and well, I can really relate. Its as if she wrote her heart out. You know the writing is honest when it touched your inner-self, don't you?

Two.

This is my nonchalant-little-daughter-who-has-an-attitude-like-her-father. And I am beyond surprise for her kind thoughts. 

For now, I am glad. For once, I know, if she stays root to her origin, and believe only Allah is the best guidance, she can survive. And now I know should I am fated to leave her, I can left her with an open heart.

Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah.
