"Hey!"

"Hi!!"

"How are you Ma'am!??"

"You are looking very beautiful!"

"I am fine",

"Thank you for your concern".

Jasmine replied while smiling.

She was wearing very beautiful and expensive dress. She was in a small party at her home. Everyone was trying to talk to her. She was like a goddess. She ignored all rich men who were trying to pursue her and went to the balcony of the house.

She was looking at the street where there was a servant in his 60s washing the car of his owner. He was wearing neat clothes and was very busy washing the car as if it was his dream job.

But Jasmine knew that he was not doing it happily, he was doing it for living. To live an other day with honour and respect. That's all job seekers wants; respect and good pay.

Suddenly his boss came and yelled at him, "You Old man, why are you still washing it!??"

"Get lost if you can't do it quickly".

The old servant only nodded his head and went inside quickly. There were other servants younger than that old servant, they all were watching. He was insulted in front of many people.

But it is the common thing and we don't pay any attention to it at all.

Jasmine was sad. It was like her heart was broken. She can't even stop people from bullying the weak.

She was very rich now but what she can do with such wealth. This wealth only brings her heartache.

She remembered how she was when she was 18 years old. She was poor. But she won't let any weak people get bullied. She was very energetic and confident.

"I want to go back to my old self."

"I don't want to be cherished by all people".

"It will be enough if my dear ones love me."

"I don't want to live in this empty building".

"I want to live in a place called house".

"If only I had listened to Ali ....."

"He said that he wanted to marry me and start family with me".

She was lost in her thoughts.

Her past was moving in front of her like a tragedy film.

...............10 years before...............

.......

......................................

"Wake up you idiot".

"You are sleeping like a log."

"You don't have any manners that a normal girl should have".

Jasmine's mom was yelling at her.

"Don't make life hard for my Jasmine", her father said.

Jasmine waking up from noise.

"Mom how many times do I have to tell you that I am not a normal girl at all and I don't want to be the one."

"Do I have to tell you daily",

"I don't want to be like normal girls they are just fragile and foolish girls"....

Jasmine replied.

"Why are you so stubborn!??"

"Your cousin is a very obedient and humble girl, she also has very good grades. Learn from her!!"

"You both go to same school yet there is huge difference of your grades".....

"Why is that so!!!"

"Tell me now!!"

"Mother started her morning lecture very early today , don't you agree father!!?"

Jasmine said.

"You are right my child", father replied.

Both Jasmine and her father were laughing now....

Jasmine's mother sighs. .

"As father as daughter"..

"What can I do!?"

"It's all in the genes!!"

"Mom! I am going to College."

"Okk, darling."

"Take care of yourself and don't make any troubles again. I am warning you. Understand!???"

"Ok Mom, look Bye".

"I am telling you once again not to involve in others' business again".

"When you are in college mind your own business."

"Don't be too nosy in others' business."

"This world of so-called humans doesn't let any human survive."

"Do you hear me!!??? If not then forget about your pocket money this month!"

"Understand you little fool!?"

Mom was yelling behind.

The local college where Jasmine was studying was a good one. She was an intelligent student.

She was hard working and obedient student. She was very socialized and positive.

She was receiving a scholarship from college because of her good grades.

As Jasmine entered the class, her friend Wany told her that today she will be receiving the scholarship money.

She threw her bag on her seat happily.

"Oh! Yeah!!!!!!",

"I am really happy".

"Thanks, Wany for giving me such good news in the early morning. My mood was a bit off after hearing my mother nagging."

"What do you want to eat!??"

"Tell me!?"

"Quickly !!"

Wany was taking time thinking,

"Umm, I think...."

"Tell me quickly before I change my mind," Jasmine said.

"Ok then Pizza is best," Wany quickly replied.

Jasmine stared and said, " Ok fine I will order a medium size pizza that you can eat all by yourself and don't ask me for a treat again."

"Oh if I knew it I would have asked for dinner in a five-star hotel!!" Wany replied.

"It's your hasty decision," Jasmine replied while smiling.

Even if you ask for dinner in a five-star hotel, I can't afford it. It might take more than my mothers one year salary along with a bonus, Jasmine was thinking. I can't even afford a cheap hotel. Maybe someday I can afford all of them but it might be too late. 

But still, she was very happy after hearing this good news.

There were only a few students who can get scholarships as the college she was studying at was famous in the whole country, there were several branches of college in the whole country.

According to Jasmine, she was very blessed that a branch of a well-known college was also opened in her city. Otherwise, she might have to live in a hostel which she couldn't afford.

...........*On the other hand*...........

There was a horse race in a well known College of the Capital. This college was famous because only rich families can afford them. Only some needy students were studying on scholarships.

The college was made by well-known businessmen along with the cooperation of conglomerates of the country.

The full name of the College was The Capital School of Country P. It was in the Capital of the country. Its nickname was " Millionaire College" and "College of Rich".

There were many other names given to this school and college by mediocre and poor students.

But this college was considered the best college in the country except for the fact that only the richest students can study here.

Ali was a senior here. His parents were super-rich and they were also the shareholders of this college. He had one brother Abbas and a younger sister Alina.

His brother was helping his parents in business. His younger sister was a high school senior.

He was doing his MBA.

After a month his MBA will be completed and he will start working at a Mobile Company of his father if his father allows him to.

^^^Gift for readers;^^^

^^^Jasmine's friend Wany, her original name is Wania which means God's Gift.^^^

Ali always said to his friends that there are many benefits of being rich but you are supposed to behave like a robot in front of your parents and family. You can't show your real expressions. You can't let people know about your inner self.  There is nothing like a lovely family. You become emotionless that's being like a robot.

He was quite right but we can make our family lovely by working hard together. You can only achieve something good by sticking together.

Facing many difficulties with your family makes you grow healthier together. It's a positive thing.

Your life is not easy whether you are rich or poor until you modify your thinking.

Wearing expensive and branded dress, with expensive accessories and cars, and two or three bodyguards with you all the time; whenever going to a party you have many things like this to deal with. It's quite troublesome. But it becomes your habit eventually.

If you belong to a rich family, you can't have sincere friends or you won't like to use the word

"Friend" for anyone.

It's because you know very well that all people including your siblings are your competitors.

So you won't let your guards down even in front of your family.

....................

"It was a long day" Jasmine was packing her bag.

Jaffar smiles and says "Yes my lady, it's indeed a long day."

Jasmine looked up, "You! What are you doing here!?"

Jasmine's marks in today's test were slightly lower than Jaffar's, that's why she was annoyed.

They were childhood class fellows and neighbours.

Their parents always saw them as competitors in their studies.

Both Jasmine and Jaffar had many fights over grades.

But now it was a little different because both of them were grown-ups. Although they still consider each other as their competitors now they don't fight.

Many fellows thought that they were dating as they used to get annoyed every time they talk, some thought they are like a married couple fighting.

Both of them go to school together. Hence they were in the same college even now they sometimes go together if their parents insist.

Jasmine came home with a sad face, "Assalamualaikum! Ma', Pa'....."

"Lunch is ready darling", mother quickly came out of the kitchen.

Jasmine was walking like a dead.

"What happened!??" Mother was worried.

"Did someone bully you!??"

"Is something bothering you!??"

"Were you in a fight!??"

"Oh did someone harassed you on the way!??"

"OMG, mom plzzzx

It's not. Kindly control your imagination. Who would dare to harass me!? I have learned some boxing with Jaffar." Jasmine replied in one breath.

"Then!??", Mother was asking.

"My marks were just lower than Jaffar but I was 2nd in class so..."

"What!!"

"Your marks were lower than Jaffar. You had always higher marks".

"Oh, God! Mom, it's not a big deal, ok!?? And it's just a short test in class." Jasmine was tired.

"Whether the competition is local or national, you must prepare well and don't you agree that you both had gone to the same school and are now in the same college. Why are there fluctuations in your results as compared to Jaffar? Just give me your final answer." Mother was totally angry.

Jasmine was thinking that now there is no way for her to escape from their mother.
