June 18.

Kano, Nigeria

Jannah and Ummul Khulsum walked out of their lectures hall and head in the direction of their hostel. The two both offer the same course. While Jannah is simply studying the course considering BUK doesn't offer the course she wanted, Khulsum lived for that course.

Jannah was okay with it though. She believed that maybe that's the best course for her to study, that's why Allah made it so.

A girl of seemingly the same age as the duo approached them. She was pretty much the same height as Jannah, considering the fact that Jannah is taller than Khulsum, and had on a turquoise long hijab. There's this warm smile masking her features which emitted politeness.

"Assalamu alaikum" She stretched her hand out for a handshake.

"Wa alaikissalam" The two replied, taking turns to shake her hand.

The woman grinned. "My name is Salimah Omer. I'm the head of this school's Support for Women Group established by JM and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to join? We help sisters whom need help the best way we can by organizing enlightenment campaigns and using our voices to make a difference for the female child" She said handing them a flier which contains the details of the association.

"Oh wow. That's very nice of you" Ummul Khulsum said, a small grin taking over her features. She had always been fond of helping others so it's a natural response for her to be interested in that.

"It really is" Jannah nodded in agreement.

Salimah smiled, appreciating their response. "Thank you. You two are new students right?" She rose a brow.

"Yes"

"Yeah we are"

"Great! Would you two mind joining the association? We are in need of more members. I mean, the more the merrier right? You two can help make a huge difference in the lives of our fellow sisters out there who feels they're alone, those whom were restricted the right to study because the kind of society they live in deem that female's education is not important" Salimah explained professionally with so much passion as if this is what she wants to do her entire life, help fellow sisters in need.

"Of course I'd love to join" Ummul Khulsum was quick to reply. She wasn't planning on letting an opportunity like that slip away without her at least trying her best.

"Yeah me too" Jannah nodded.

"Thank you so much, our first meeting for this year is tomorrow at the auditorium" Salimah explained, a grin taking over her features.

"In shaa Allah we'll be there"

"Let me help you spread the word" Ummul Khulsum offered. When Salimah agreed, the two left together to help spread the word about the association.

Jannah was left alone to go back to the hostel since she was exhausted. She was close to reaching the hostel when someone grabbed her wrist. She swiveled around to see who the person was. Instantly, her nose flared as she glared at the person. "Let go of my hand" She said through gritted teeth.

"Haba Jannah sarauniyar mata. Just please give me your phone number. I've been asking you since in the morning. Wallahi son ki nakeyi, kin mallake min zuciya" A guy that had been pestering her since morning said.

She resisted the urge to gag.

The man by the looks of it is clearly bad news. He had a bushy afro hair, orange colored teeth, and from his breath you can perceive the disgusting scent of cigarette. His eyes are bloodshot red which he covered with a black shade, otherwise known as no respect glasses which made him look like people from the early 1900s. He had on a dirty white shirt which says 'I'm a bad boy' and a blue crazy ripped jeans.
