A new beginning

Life had almost turned into a hell and I had given up all hopes of living until something really magical reincarnated my will of fighting back, ensuring that I was all padded up for a new beginning.

My life was running at a steady pace as I was on my way to fulfill my whole-hearted dream of becoming a “Biotechnologist”.  Being a Bangladeshi, I had to run through a lot of hurdles for studying in UK but by the grace of the Almighty, I was in the driver’s seat within a few months in UK. I gave my heart and soul towards chasing my dream and everything was going on smoothly. I had made a lot of friends and well-wishers within a short period of time, and my time in UK was literally a walk in the park. Four years had passed by and I was in the final semester of my Bachelorsdegree! I could see my goal with my naked eyes but suddenly a storm marked its arrival in my life which tormented me from inside and out.

Some miscreants and traitors had put my career in jeopardy, but I had no idea of what I was running into! It was just like a bolt from the blues! All on a sudden a team of cops stormed and raided my house. They found out some sachets of ecstasy (an illegal drug) from underneath my bed. I didn’t have a clue whatsoever of how those sachets came into my room. However, this led me to a state ofunbearable hallucination. I got traumatized and turned numb. I was being interrogated by the senior cop, who was very harsh to me just because I was not a British citizen. I tried my heart out to prove my innocence! But he was in no mood of listening to me,as I talked of strong evidences which could have proven my innocence. Being in a foreign land, I needed help and I pleaded to my so-called friends to help me to get out of this fuss, but they showed their true colors and refused to help me. I was put into the prison and battered by the cops for five consecutive days. Meanwhile, my university had given me a deadline of proving my innocence; otherwise my admission would be cancelled, they said. I only had one month to free myself of guilt, but could see no option for me but to give in to my fate. At the prison time was very difficult and lamentation didn’t leave me!Each and every moment I was uttering almighty’s graceful names. Twenty long days passed, and I had emptied my mind. I was on the verge of committing a heinous act as ‘suicide’! My childhood memories, the reminiscence of my parents and the name of the almighty started to kick inside my head, which didn’t let me die a shameful death. I sat down on the floor, meditated for a while, said my prayers and then stormed my brain. After an hour of rigorous thinking and soul searching I got a small indication of what might have happened. I recalled that the night before I was arrested, two of my friends, Bob and Alan, came to my house to a stay over. I was pretty sure that they were involved in framing me with the false case as they were active abusers of drugs. Even after getting such a clue, I still needed help from outside and suddenly my prayers were answered. Zara, a British citizen of Pakistani origin and an acquaintance of mine came to pay a visit to my prison cell and I, seeing no other option, blurted out everything to her. She was generous enough to help me, as she pressurized the cop to interrogate Bob and Alan with the help of her influential father. A narcotizes test was carried out on those two hypocrites and they were proven guilty of drug abuse. I was declared innocent and I thanked the almighty for extricating me out of the devastating problem. I expressed my gratitude to Zara for being so nice to me.

The next day, I went straight into the university, showed my bail documents and saved my admission. Three months later, I passed my exam and achieved my graduation to fulfill my dream. I went on to complete my post graduation and as soon as I got the job of being the lecturer of my university, I went straight to Zara’s house.There I knelt down in front of Zara and proposed her for marriage. All these happened in front of her father. Her father was kind enough to give his consent for our marriage. Zara had some kind of attraction for me, so she couldn’t resist hugging me. Hence, there was a rise new beginning in my life, with some sprinkles of pixie dust from zone.
