EPISODE 6 MAYA AMBITION AND ASPIRATIONS

Maya's POV:*

As I sat in my small room, surrounded by sketches and paint-splattered canvases, my mind wandered to the art competition. I envisioned my artwork on display, admired by strangers and critics alike. The thought sent shivers down my spine.

I began to gather my best pieces, carefully selecting the ones that showcased my style. My hands trembled with excitement as I placed them in a portfolio. I couldn't wait to share my passion with the world.

"Maa, I want to apply for the art competition," I said, bursting into the kitchen where Fatima was preparing dinner.

Fatima turned, her eyes sparkling with interest. "That's a great opportunity, beta. Tell me more about it."

I explained the competition, my voice filled with enthusiasm. Fatima listened attentively, her expression thoughtful.

*Aisha's POV:*

I watched Maya's excitement, feeling proud of her talent and determination. As she shared her dreams, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for my sister's passion.

When Maya asked for my help with the application, I jumped at the opportunity. Together, we worked late into the night, selecting pieces, writing essays, and perfecting the submission.

"Maya, your art is amazing," I said, as we took a break to grab some tea. "You'll definitely win."

Maya smiled, her eyes shining with hope. "Thanks, Aisha. Your support means everything to me."

*Fatima's POV:*

As I watched my daughters work together, I felt a sense of pride and nostalgia. I remembered Maya's childhood fascination with art, her tiny hands smudging colors on paper.

When Maya first showed interest in art, I encouraged her, despite our financial struggles. Now, seeing her pursue her dreams filled me with joy.

"Girls, let's make this happen," I said, as we finalized the application. "We'll work together to submit it."

We submitted the application, and now all we could do was wait. Maya's anxiety was palpable, but Aisha and I reassured her that she'd done her best.

As we sat together, waiting for the results, I realized that this experience was about more than just winning – it was about Maya pursuing her passion and growing as an artist.

Aisha's POV:*

Aisha walked home from school, her mind preoccupied with upcoming exams. As she

entered the small apartment, she was greeted by the familiar aroma of cooking oil and spices. Her mother's voice called out, "Aisha, come help with dinner."

Aisha dropped her bag and joined her mother in the kitchen. Together, they chopped vegetables and stirred the pot. Aisha loved these moments, feeling grateful for their bond.

*Fatima's POV:*

Fatima watched her daughters work together, their laughter and chatter filling the room. She felt a sense of pride and accomplishment,

knowing she'd instilled strong values in them. As she looked around the modest apartment, she remembered the struggles they'd faced.

"Girls, come sit with me," Fatima called out, her voice filled with emotion.

Maya and Aisha settled beside her, sensing something important.

"I want you both to know how proud I am of you. You're growing into strong, kind women."

Yes mom" we make you proud the replied with smiles in their faces they

are my world" having both intelligent and obedient girls what else could I wished for.
