CHAPTER 2

Usually, the hallways are always full of students but thankfully today there was no one except those who were waiting for their classes.

Iqra fixes her glasses and makes her way toward her class. It will be her last year at school after begging her father for giving her just 3 years. Her father gives 3 years only because it will give him time to find a man who can put a lash on his daughter. In Iqra's phrases, 'I have the most ancient minded family'. Iqra is not poor. Her family does have money,But her family does not spend money on her education or daily necessities of life.Because her relationship with her family is not very good.

She doesn't like social encounters with people, That's why she doesn't have any friends in school or in her 17 years of life. It's not that she doesn't want to make friends.But because of her family she is afraid to make friends or in other words no one befriends Iqra because everyone looks down on her because her mother is a lesbian.Because of this, everyone in the school, from teachers to students and even Iqra's own family and does not like her. Again this reason is one of the main reasons for her bullying at school. She is the bullies' favorite prey.Despite enduring so much physical and mental suffering, she goes to school every day, Because she forgets all the worries and troubles of her whole day when she sees a glimpse of her.The only thing that made her feel better, the reason of Iqra's erratic heartbeats

Shanaya.

Though they were always too far from one another.
