I have had an uncle who usually mocked at me with anything he could do. But the last one exceeded all he did to me.

One morning, I can remember, was started helping my mom who invited some of our relatives to had lunch in our home. And It wasn't yet started until it came to.

Usually, The relatives started to be gathered there consecutively before lunchtime and I was busy to serve them with my parents. It was better to say firstly that I got a poor CGPA in my higher secondary examination during this year. I was talking a little with them not for my problems of communication but for my shameful results what's going around my mind every second. I was scared not to face such typical questions as “What’s is about your results?, Whats's your next move?”. Furthermore, I was totally exhuasted to respond to these types of questions; because I didn't outgo from my frustrations yet rather It had been dragging all my next moves.

I faced it for which I was exactly scared. My uncle, one of our guests there, I mentioned in the first paragraph, asked me superciliously about my CGPA( Actually he had knew about it before he asked me), I can't even imagine that past how ridiculous and silly it was to be stayed in front of 22 eyes like a criminal and replied some common questions what I had been doing with huge unwillingness. I was accounting like I had done something terrible to them. Every second, Confronting his questions, I found myself just going down to the ground.

He has a son who is same aged to me, got a outstanding CGPA on the same exam I screwed up, was comparing with me continuously in every aspects he could do. He almost shared his predications about my next moves and where they were going to take places infront of these relatives including my parents. On that moment, I felt like weeping and rushed to the roof to take breath. I found myself was unable to take breath for a while.

Presumably, I promised to myself to prove them wrong on that day and change the way by which they consider my value. I remembered their depreciation and moved on.

9 months later, I was about to sit for University Admission test which is considered still as the most competitive exam in our country. Now I can lucidly imagine, what was undone on that time? I bet you; almost nothing. I kept myself discipline, self-oriented, humble, silence to make my naysayers predictions very wrong.

Eventually, I did this, I did this what I dreamt to have done. I got admitted into a prestigious university. Incontrasts, My Uncle's son even failed to make a passing score on that exams. I don't know what happend to me, what change my next moves consequently positives but one thing I still believe, I would never be where I am today without keeping trust on my Almighty Allah(God), I wouldn't be where I am today without accepting unfavorable consequences, may be I wouldn't be here without the depreciations of my naysayers which worked for me as fuels.

In the end, I would like to share it that I took revenge not to take any revenge. Does it sound odd? may be, but It is surprisingly true. I still find no time to care about them, think about their bullshit predictions and judgements rather I keep myself busy with my dreams, desires and sorround my soul around some interesting peoples with whom I always find myself unconditionally loved and inconsequentially respected.
