Beating and bullying Muhammad

Khaled and Mustafa left the department, leaving Mohammed lying on the ground. Mohammed got up and left the department. As he was going down the stairs, he saw Aseel coming down the stairs in front of him. Mohammed tried to avoid Aseel so that he wouldn't be bullied again.

Mohammed tried to walk quickly and get out of the school. As he was hurrying out, Aseel saw him walking quickly, his clothes were very dirty and his face was red. He looked like he had been severely beaten.

Mohammed was walking quickly because he didn't want to look at her so that he wouldn't be beaten again. Aseel, looking at Mohammed's actions and clothes, looked very strange. He looked like he was being bullied.

Abdulrazzaq, Khaled and Mustafa passed by Aseel and were laughing and saying: "What a foolish child! How dare he look at a beautiful girl like her?" Khaled said: "Yes, Mohammed has always been foolish and I don't know what he thinks when he looks at Aseel."

The three of them didn't know that Aseel was listening to their conversation. Aseel was very angry about this, but she wasn't sure if it was because of her, because she thought that another girl or boy had been bullied. But she was almost sure that Mohammed was the one who was bullied because of his clothes and face, which indicated that he had been bullied.

Aseel decided to wait for Mohammed tomorrow and ask him what happened.

In the morning, Aseel was waiting for Mohammed to come at the school door, to find out the truth of what happened, afraid that she might be the reason. When she saw him, she felt shy, because she had never talked to him before.

When Mohammed passed by, Aseel stood up and told him that she wanted to talk to him. Mohammed replied, "Why do you want to talk to me?" Mohammed wanted to get rid of her quickly, fearing that they would bully him.

Aseel asked him, "Do Khaled, Mustafa, and Abdul Razzaq study with you?" Mohammed replied, "Yes."

Aseel asked, "Were you bullied because of me?" Mohammed was surprised by Aseel's question, and was silent and did not answer. Aseel knew from his silence that he was really bullied because of her.

Aseel asked Mohammed: "Why are you being bullied because of me and we never talked?" Mohammed replied: "Yesterday, I was watching a bird behind you, and Khaled and Mustafa saw me and thought I was watching you. Khaled and Mustafa came and told me why I was looking at you, and they told me that I don't deserve to look at you, and then they beat me."

Aseel got angry when she heard that Mohammed was subjected to all this because of her, and said: "What business is it of theirs? Who told them to interfere in my private affairs? Who told them to beat people just by looking at those they think are worthy of pity. When they can't get anything done, they try to bring others down with them."

Then she said: "If they talk to you about this again, tell them that it's none of their business. I decide who I punish or make my friend. Tell them that I don't want to hear anything again about you bullying others because of me."

Mohammed was surprised by Aseel's reaction, and this was the first time someone other than his family had defended him. Mohammed was deeply affected by this scene.

Aseel saw how much Mohammed was affected by her words, and said: "Don't be sad because of what they said. Don't let anyone bully you or diminish your value. You are the one who determines your true value, not people."

Mohammed replied to Aseel: "Thank you very much for your words and encouragement."

Aseel replied: "Don't say that, we were colleagues in the past and now as well."

Mohammed said: "Do you really consider me your colleague?"

Aseel replied: "Yes, you are my colleague. And if you are bullied again, please tell me, I will help you with everything I can."

Mohammed said: "Thank you."

The conversation between Aseel and Mohammed ended, and Mohammed went to his department. Aseel watched him from behind, saying to herself: "You poor child, you suffer all the time, you are always bullied and beaten, and you don't find anyone to help you or talk to you to vent your anger. But despite all that, he never humiliated himself or begged for mercy or complained about his problems to anyone. He faced the bullying himself and endured everything alone.

I think that when the bullies see his determination, they get jealous and try to hit him to break that determination, but no way! Those who were raised on pride will never be humiliated, and those who were raised on humiliation will never be proud."

And so Aseel and Mohammed went to their classroom, each of them carrying different thoughts and feelings. How would the days pass and how would Mohammed's problem be solved?
