simpLy m.e.

m.e.: I have not bound them in case you want me to do anything with them…

spv: (took a close look, took the form out and signed)

m.e.: (still looked at him with astonishment) Is that it?

spv: of course not. This is however the most major part, then you will have viva. But this basically is the most major part of it

m.e.: (still could not believe that the spv had just signed the form) I know, I mean, you don’t have any more comments on them

spv: from what I read; I am happy with them. I am happy about them, you are ready, they can be submitted.

m.e.: (still could not believe what was happening) oh my God! that’s it? Oh thank you!!!

spv: you are quick!

m.e.: no, I can do that because my supervisor is very cooperative and assisting; thank you!

spv: no, its your work. you work for it

m.e.: but you help. You reminded me of what I thought I have put, you showed me the way

spv: but its your work

m.e.: thank you, Sir! thank you very much. I am not sure if you know this but I am so very grateful to you, I always will for the rest of my life

spv: you don’t have to

m.e.: really Sir, I am; I thank you so very much and I have to tell you that and you deserve to know that too

spv: so, what do you intend to do from here

m.e.: I don’t know. Most imminently I want to go home, meet my family, attend my brother’s wedding. Then I guess I’ll take a break for a month or two, I need to get back to my life

spv: yes, you deserve that too

m.e. : seriously! Even after I completed the soft-bound copies, I just could not sleep at night. my body clock has been so adjusted to stay up late

spv: yeah, that because your mind keeps on thinking, even beyond your conscience

m.e.: that’s very true and I do owe some people ‘that break’ too. I have neglected them for the past three years. I do have some job offers; but just do not want to think about them right now. I will be better of when I go for any of those with the PhD at hand

spv: yes, of course. Beside, you have to take the break too

m.e.: oh thank you; thank you so much………

(and I chose to keep the remaining part of conversation to myself)

All I knew, I was so filled with excitement and astonishment. I could hardly stand for I still could not believe that it was happening. I sat briefly, uncosciously hug my best friend, was trying to hold onto my best friend’s body actually as the disbelief made it hard for me to accept that it was real, it was happening… and here I am, having a sip of my most favaourite drink – hot chocolate; writing this post from the uni cafe, and now, as I am looking out the next building from window; everything becomes so beautiful to me.

Thank you Allah, for everything you gave me. Thank you for having chosen for me such a wonderful spv that made what I went through a lot easier, thank you for having blessed me with such a wonderful family, my husband who, despite his young age which sometime causes him to easily lose his temper, loves me with everything he has, with his heart, soul and absolutely everything; so as to make these past three years managable for me and the family; my smart boy, who is so smart, intelligence and gifted that his smile changes what otherwise an unbearable time to one that I would be looking foward to; thank you Allah for having lent me those wonderful friends, brothers and sisters who helped me out of the sincere feeling of brotherhood or sisterhood, without any expectation to get anything in return, unconditional assitance which means a lot to me.. oh thank you so very much ya Allah, for every single thing you have given me, you have planned for me and for the future for which, I surrender myself with full submission to you. I know, you will choose only the best to lie ahead…

thank you Allah… thank you so very much
