Hello Friends,
This post is in contrast to my earlier post 'The Road Not Taken Or The Record Break-en'. First of all, it's very late today,my net wasnt working from 28th, its 31st today, but still, the news is still hot and am still getting congratulated. A fraction of you may have already understood, what I am going to say, but who didnt got it, here it is - I have cleared my Boards Exam and that with a MashaAllah good percentage- 82%. And now I could take up Science as my stream in my school and do computer programming, which I have a fanatsy for.
Let me tell you what were the things whch were there, hours before the declaration of the result by Board. I just slept for 2 hours out of 24, in that day..err night before the result. I was reading the Koran till late 2 a.m, when a power cut, forced me to go to bed. I had set an Alarm, to wake up for the fajr namaz. I woke up and went to the mosque, 1 hour earlier than the prayers. After the prayers, i came back and had tea. My parents asked me, to sleep after that, but there was no sign of sleep in my eyes, but couldnt get results anyway, as my net connection was not working. Then I used my father's mobile to check the result and kept banging on CBSE's site many times, each time to be greeted by a message ' Result not yet announced'. I went to the bed, but kept getting up again and again. A day before, I had asked my uncle to call me after seeing my result, only if it's good, or else I would talk to him later on. I had also registeres on the Mobile result service, so I was both nervous and tensed with my mobile's beep beep. Once I woke up and found 3 SMSes, I got nervous, blood all soaked up, mouth went dry. I hurriedly, opened the folders and got the following messages:
1.'Your account balance is low, Please recharge'
2.'Dial 404 for jokes, ringtones, wallpapers, etc.'
3.'Know your horoscope prediction for today at Rs. 6.99/ min' !!!!!
I fretted and fumed and laid down again. I 8:15 I got a call from my friend, asking me if he could come over at my place that day. I replied him, that he could, anytime and hung up. It was at 8:35 a.m, that my uncle called me up. Seeing his name flashing over the screen,I froze, thinking what could it possibly be?!! My mind thinking, at the rate which could give competition to even the strongest of the supercomputers today!!! All my happiness or sadness lied into this single call. This could either make it or break it. Then trembling with fear, I answered and said 'Hello'. My Uncle asked me if I had seen my result? I replied in the negative and told him about the net connection problem. Then he told me something which surprised myself too! He congratulated me, for I had secured 82%, much above I had expected!! I told it to my father, who just hugged me and said 'Mera Beta'. My mother after offering thanks to Allah, for help, came and repeated the same hugging gesture. Within minutes phone calls came showering in, congratulating me on this feat.
I was happy, my family was happy. I gave smile to those lips, who were praying all the while for my well-being and good results, to those lips, which gave me peck for each of my achievement, which made it even sweeter. I gave twinkle to thiose eyes, which had beautiful dreams for me, which shed tears, when I am in pain. I made them proud and didnt let their faith down. Allah ka lakh-lakh shukr hai! It's called Happys Endings!!
I call my Boards result: A.P of A.P ( Arithmetic Progression Of Aaqib's Progress). It's like this:
Science: 78
English: +2 = 80
Hindi: +2 = 82
Maths: +2 = 84
Social: +2 = 86
I just hope to keep this momentum up and InshaAllah to eventually increase it, and hope that such nice things keep pouring in!!!!
Love
Aaqib Khan
