Forgiveness Arabian Streets

Question: Discuss about theForgivenessfor Arabian Streets. Answer: Introduction Fatima had not been attending classes at her school for almost two weeks now. Her teachers wondered what could be the problem with her. She did not even bother to communicate with her teachers on her lateness in class. Her mother had forced her on several occasions to attend her classes irrespective of what had happened to her. However, she turned this down and told her mother that she had left attending that school for good. She did not explicitly mention to her mother what the problem was. At one point, she was heard speaking over the phone, if at all I have to go back to school, then it must be a non-Emirati school." Her mother was shocked to hear her mentioning these words and wanted to intervene as she was aware that her daughter might tell her what is disturbing her. Fatima's teachers kept on calling, but she did not pick her teachers' calls. One day, when Fatima and her mother were strolling down the Arabian streets, they met a boy, tall, dark and handsome. Fatima quickly turned and walked away in a different direction as if she never wanted to meet this handsome guy. Her mother was shocked as according to her, Fatima was always attracted to such kind of men. She was shocked as this man did not catch her daughters attention. Why did you turn and walk away from that man?" Mother asked, but she failed to respond. She kept quiet about it for a very extended period. They silently walked back home without uttering any words on their way. That evening, when Fatima was busy preparing supper, her mother did not give up on asking her questions. She now understood why Fatima insisted that she was never going back to Emirati schools. She tried to connect these two parts-the boy was an Emirati; she walked away from him, and Fatima did not want to attend Emirati schools. When her mother approached Fatima, she quickly uttered, "Mother please, not again. I am tired of all these questions. I beg to be left alone!" Her mother did not give up. She asked her for quite a long time until Fatima decided to open up for her mother. When Fatima opened up for her mother, her mother was shocked to hear the reason why Fatima had left school. The young man, named Khalifa, had threatened Fatima on several occasions to marry her. "My daughter, Emirati individuals are very generous. Just marry him if he is in love with you," her mother said. Fatima stood up from where she was sitting and threatened to walk away if her mother did not stop reasoning like an infant. Fatima quickly told her mother that she does not believe that money and love are related in one way or the other. Fatima later informed her mother that the young man is her classmate and he was the main reason as to why she had left attending her school. "Emirati men think that money is love. They also feel that they are quite superior and they believe that they can marry at their wish just because of money. Well, as for me, they have failed, and in this case, Khalifa has failed," Fatima argued, However, this was not the case with Khalifa. As the two talked, Fatima's mother saw Khalifa knocking at the door. Fatima left the kitchen, and Fatima's mom had to attend to Khalifa. He had come to apologize to Fatima. He mentioned that he was a changed man and only wanted to be close friends with Fatima. With a heavy heart, Fatima ignored these referring to them as a pretense. However, Khalifa went down on his knees and apologized. Fatima shed tears and said, "come on Khalifa, stand, your apologies have been accepted. Next time, be a good boy. I am your best friend now."
