Aliya the winner

Aliya walked away from her friends, she was very kind and soft hearted young lady. Those were the days when Aliya just ended up her university about two months ago. Being graduate but still not having a job can lead a person to a very bad phase. She applied for a lot of jobs but got rejected. She did her graduation in fashion designing, when she was studying everyone degraded her that it is not a valuable course you are just wasting your time but she followed her idol Mr.Danial, he was a relative of her from far away but never got a chance to meet him in person. She always used to defend her passion and said that my idol is on the top of success in the same field then how is it possible that I will not be.

                 She always used to followed him on social media and watched him on media platforms. Not just imagining him as an idol but she was kind a in love with him. She always used to saw herself standing next to him.

            Now when Aliya look at her condition and remember the words of her relatives that “you are wasting your time in this course, this study will not give you great outcomes, not everyone is lucky like denial to be able to get such a big opportunity at such a young age, you should focus on science subjects, it have a lot of scope.”

        All these thoughts bursting into her mind that she got so afraid from her failure and starting thinking the same as other people.

         At that time Aliya locked up herself in bedroom and stayed up in bed for hours, she felled into severe depression and nobody had any idea about that. Her mom and dad left for a trip to dubai and she stayed at home with her siblings. She was the second child her brother ali was elder than her, usman and zohra was younger. They used to knock the door for lunch and dinner but Aliya didn’t responded so they opened the door just to check on her. They asked her to come for the meals but she refused and said “I will eat later.”

       Her meal timings got so disturbed that was the time of her life when she really needed the help of a sincere person. She talked to her friends and managed a gathering just because maybe that will make her to feel better. But when she arrived over there and talked to her friends about the present condition and depression she was facing, they laughed on her and said: “is that the reason Aliya that you are becoming a potato, I mean just by lying on bed and thinking about the unknown future…”

           Due to irregular routine she was not doing any exercise and taking care of herself so it led her to gain weight quickly. When she heard the comments of her friends she became heart broken and walked away from their gathering. She cried a lot, with such a heavy heart it was a tough task to bear all the pain alone.

      As the days past by her parents came back to home, they got so worried about their daughter. Her mom tried to help her by talking but that was not worthy, she even asked Aliya; “my dear daughter let’s go for a shopping together or for a dinner?

What about we go for a trip on this weekend?”

She was not in mood to go anywhere and refused her mother ‘I am not ready to go anywhere’ that made her parents worried and to think about their daughter happiness.

Her mother shehnaz was a very kind-hearted, ambitious and supportive woman, she even helps her husband shahzaib in his business.

        All of a sudden her mother thought about the high school best friend of Aliya, due to her mental health condition nida will be the best support for her. Nida was her very close friend in school, they used to do their homework and lunch together and share all of their secrets with each other.

         Aliya’s mother thought that calling nida to come and visit Aliya will be the best option, she searched out for her contact number from social media and told her about the condition of her bestie Aliya, they both were separated from each other after high school due to long distance. They decided to took the admission in university together but their fate decided different destinies. Nida parents shifted to Lahore so there only daughter also has to move with them. She studied over there and now she is doing a great job to become successful in her profession.

             Nida came to Karachi for some important business work and also to meet her best friend that was the surprise for Aliya. When they saw each other all of the old memories flash lighted in their eyes, they were so happy of course they met after a long time and they talked to each other non-stop for hours. Aliya mother shehnaz was so happy, all she wanted is the happiness and smiley face of her daughter. Nida came here for few days due to her business work and also to check on her friend if she is okay!

       Aliya cried in front of her friend and did a lot of heart talk, she was so disturbed but she knew that nida will understand her situation and will help her to come out of this anxiety she was facing. She advised to visit the psychiatrist and on the very next day she took her to the hospital for few sessions with psychiatrist. After the first session she asked Aliya “will you go with me for a business meeting.” She said; “yes”

She was feeling so good with her friend, on the meeting she found out that Mr.danial was also here, he was the setup designer for the new project of exhibition.

         Aliya was feeling out of this world as she saw her idol in front of her, she knew everything about him but he didn’t even know her name. after the meeting she introduced herself with Mr.danial and took an autograph and selfie with him, she told him that “ I idolizes you a lot and you are the reason I studied fashion designing”

She showed him her little fashion designing projects that impressed him, all of sudden he advised her that “why don’t you open up your own work shop and give opportunities to other for a job, I think you are very talented and can do this easily.”

 She respected her idol advise and thought why such a great idea didn’t jumped into her mind?

After few days nida left to her home leaving her with a good thought about the future, she her the guidance and said; “we will meet again soon”

Aliya talked to her parents about the workshop idea and the need of financial support. She worked hard as she made her projects without any help and guidance. She keep going day and night whenever she finds her siblings usman and zohra in their mean time, she asked them for the help and they never refused and always supported their sister.

      On the first day of workshop, she was so excited and invited all her friends with the family for the opening ceremony, everyone appreciated her for taking such a great step and not to be afraid of failure. All of her friends was so shocked that how she is so good at her work as she was the one who could not find a job for herself after graduation and now she opened a work shop with such a great projects that was the best day of Aliya life. All of her friends who made fun of her apologized to her for being rude and she was very kind-hearted that she forgave them. She video called her bestie nida and said thanks to her for giving the support and motivation she needed the most.

        After few days, Aliya messaged her idol Mr. danial on social media saying ‘thanks to him for giving her advise’

He replied after few hours ‘you are always welcomed.’ That made her feel on the top of world because she was praised by the person who she idolized the most.

Aliya the winner will always be remembered, she struggled with her depression and made herself capable of to get success.
