Dunya was a
six-year-old girl, living with her parents and older sisters, and she
had a sister one year younger than her, living in an isolated desert
in the middle of a mountain. Living for his family, her mother was a
cleaning housewife and did the housework, her older brothers were
cultivating and tending their fields, the little girl Dunya and her
younger sister would wake up early in the morning, and every day they
would go on their beasts to pluck sticks and pour water, and each
member of their family is assigned a task of his own, they live
Silently and slowly, content with their life and their time.
On a day when a
constituent assembly came to the desert, it engineered a school in
order to build and educate children and to combat the big problem in
which these children live. That our children are doing our best and
we do not want them to stay away from our service, and this was the
choice of the children’s families, but Dunya’s family was
convinced and at the same time was confused in choosing it, after
three months and then the school was completed, the children had a
desire to learn and enter the school because they In fact, she was
tired of working too much. The news came to Dunya's family that their
neighbors wanted to enroll their children in school, and they also
decided to enroll one daughter in school according to their
capabilities. While she was going to her father's, she met her older
brother, he said to her: Why is all this going with this elegance?
She said to him: She is very shy and shy, I will enroll in school
today. Aki to take care of her, your sister is the one we will enroll
in the school. You have no place in the school. Your place is to take
care of and take care of the sheep. He hurt her with his words while
she was still a child. He did not tell her in a beautiful way. The
sadness in her eyes was shocked and she went to rest. She sat under a
high tree. Her feelings were very hurt as she cried. She used to say,
I have no dreams, I have no right to decide anything in my life, even
my only request is to study and feel that I am alive. They wounded me
when I was young. Lord, be aware. Even a child whose hair is inside
me imprisoned her until she dies, and in the end I accepted the
situation and their decisions, and she said this It is my destiny in
this life. I will accept and bury this day in my heart. I have to go
home. She came home. She changed her clothes and put on the first
clothes for work. She washed and put the hat over her head.
After
she took the
sheep to take care of them near the school, and she looks at the
children how they play and are happy, there was great sadness in her
face, her mother used to watch her every day. She went to take care
of sheep, fearing that she would not go near the school, when Dunya
returns home, her mother calls her and says Anna told you that you
have no place in the school and even near it again I will prevent you
from leaving the house, Dunya is very sad from their harsh words,
despite all their words, she goes to near the school and sits and
stays all day looking at the children How happy, when she came home
this time Her mother punished her and prevented her from leaving the
house while she was convoy with her on the door of the room. She was
a teacher who taught children. She looked at Dunya every day near the
school and that sadness in her looks at the children and the school,
but after Dunya’s absence from standing near the school, the
teacher searched for Dunya’s house and the reason for her
absence After arriving home, her mother came out and the teacher
asked her how are you woman, she replied: Everything is fine, who are
you, the teacher answered her while she was talking to her, I am a
teacher studying in this school that is near you, the mother wondered
and said, What is the reason for your coming here, is my daughter
that you study She died of something, the teacher knew that Dunya's
sister was studying at school. She said to her: Today I came to meet
me, Dunya, the reason for her absence. She used to see her every day
at the school. But I was the one who prevented her from going to that
place, I am her mother and I see that sadness will not leave her and
that place makes her more sad and we do not have the abilities to
register her. She is her sister and also her sisters did not accept
her entry to school, and I prevented her from not leaving the house,
this is the only solution To prevent her from going to near the
school, she said to her, “Can I enter there for only 10
minutes?” She was a hesitant mother, but she agreed to enter
the teacher there. The teacher entered Dunya’s, and a little
girl, Dunya, was surprised and said to her: “Who are you?”
She told her that every day I see you by chance near the school sad
with your looks Until I watched you from afar I feel you Anna I was
like you when I was young, Dunya smiled and felt that someone came to
understand her, the teacher said to Dunya I told your mother I will
only talk to you for 10 minutes, I will tell you keep hope and delete
all the desperate words that caused you to hurt the inner I am with
you I'll give you a book to keep even though you don't get bored In
order to know or even learn letters, but this picture book will give
you hope in life, I hugged her and Dunya said to her: Thank you for
your interest in me and even your positive words, the teacher said to
her, I will visit you on this day and this time and I will answer you
something beautiful with me and also for you I will help you to learn
to read and letters, trust yourself and wait for me.
The
teacher went to
school, thinking about how she would help Dunya and asking herself
how I would convince her two sons to visit me. After a deep thought,
she decided to confront her daughter because she is the closest to
her. She went to Dunya's house with a lot of gifts, books and
chocolates. Go ahead, the teacher was happy after the mother hired
her, the teacher said to her, “Can I talk to you about an
important subject?” The mother was devastated and said to her,
“Yes, what is the matter? Your child, madam, is an innocent
child. I am with you. All your choices are you and your family,
despite the circumstances that prevent you from teaching these two of
your children.” It's a normal thing, but what is the reason for
imprisoning that child in a room alone, and I know that she goes to
near the school and that she did not agree with your decision towards
her, then I rebuked her from studying and even freedom. She is still
a little girl who wants freedom, and it appears to her in her mind
that if she goes near the school, she will It relieves the
psychological pain that this child suffers from, the victim of these
harsh conditions, but I cannot, nor do I have the right, make a
decision. Usually, the mother replied while she was desperately
bowing her head. My child’s world I love her so much, and when
I look at her sad, my heart hurts. This is her destiny. She is like
her mother. We will not be able to enter the school because of the
family, and this is the same between me and my child, her sisters did
not accept her entry to school because she is a female in her place.
He is occupying the house, this is the thinking that has caused me
agonizing distress, I will accept your entry and even visit you to
talk with my child and also I will throw her out of the room, the
only thing that may prevent your visit is that you must come here
like this day and also this time in order not to Throwing in my
husband and my children, because they do not like to be visited by
anyone. The teacher agreed and entered the house of a little girl,
Dunya was very sad and crying, but when I looked at a teacher who was
very happy and stagnated, I hugged her tightly and whispered to her
in her ears, I thought that you would abandon me and did not come
back.
I
once again grieved a
lot, but after you looked in front of me, I could not believe that
you did not abandon me, the teacher replied, “I did not abandon
you one day, until the promise that you made to you will come true,
my little girl.” Books as well as chocolates and games and even
the game Freedom of the Sea) The teacher said, This is a group of
closets in which I will begin with you to learn letters and also even
arithmetic. With me, even a special game, this is the freedom of the
sea. All you feel is tightness. Imagine that you are in the place of
this freedom in the sea freely.
