Find a Way to Be Different From Them
Dana started studying at a university. He went to the university for the first time. Everyone wore nice clothes except him. There were students in his class whose fathers are rich and have authority in the government. He remembered the day when his mother asked him, “What do you want to be like in the future?” He answered, “I would like to be someone who can help poor families like us.”
Dana was 15 years old. He lived with his mother, and his two sisters in a small town in Kurdistan. His father killed in the civil war in 1995. His family was very poor, and there was no one to help them finically. Dana was very smart and genus. He transferred his school from day to the night school in order to work at day and study at night. He wanted to leave school and work to feet his family. But the mother didn’t agree on that because Dana’s father plan was to let Dana finish his school. The mother tried to work on his husband’s plan.
Some girls really liked him because he was handsome. They tried to be his girlfriend, but they couldn’t. The problem was that he was living in a different world. In this world that he had to work all week and study at the weekends, but the girls had nice cars and nice lives. Also, he didn’t let the girls know about his situation.
Now the girls hated him because they failed to make him their boyfriend. They tried to make a plan to bring him down. Two of the girls hated Dana a lot, and they had a bad plan against him. They went to the president of the university to accuse him.
“What is your problem? The president said.”
“There is a guy who tried to do bad things with us.” The girls said.
“Bad things? Like what?” the president said.
“Yes the bad things,” she said crying.
“Tell me what he did to you,” the president said.
“I can’t because it is rude, and embarrasses me,” she said.
“Don’t worry, I’m like your father, and if you don’t tell me what he did, then I can’t help you,” the president said.
“Yesterday, he tried to kiss me, and if my father knew about that he will kill me.” One of the girls said.
“Do you have evidence or a witness?” the president said.
“Yes, she is the witness,” one of the girls said.
The president suspended Dana one week from the university.
“I swear sir, I didn’t do anything wrong. They tried to send me to hell, and they got what they want,” Dana said to the president angrily
The girls were very happy, and they said, “Today is happiest day in our lives.”
After a week, Dana came back to the university, and he started studying. After a month, the girls said, “What we did it wasn’t enough, and we have to do something that will make him never comeback.” They started to think about a new plan.
It was Saturday, and Dana didn’t go to work because he had a test on the next day. He was studying when one of the girls called him. He answered the phone, “Why are you calling me after what you did to me last month,” Dana said angrily because she was the same girls who accused him to the president.
“I’m really sorry about what happened. Please forgive me, and I was wrong, I didn’t know how I did that to you,” she said.
“I forgave you. Now I have to study, goodbye,” Dana said.
“No wait; I really need your help. My father had threatened me that if I failed, he would kill me. Please help me, and I don’t know the subject. As I told you, I was thinking about you, and what I did to you,” The girl said crying.
“Okay, stop crying. How can I help you?” he said.
“Can you come to my house, and my mom will make lunch for us?” the girl asked.
“Yes I can, and I’ll be there in 10 minutes,” Dana said.
The problem was, he was very nice, forgivable, and he trusted everybody. He was very nice with girls because always he remembered his sisters. He went to the girl’s home just to help her, and he forgot what she did to him. He didn’t know that she had the plan to send him to a prison because he thought that everybody was reasonable like him.
He arrived at her house, and there were a lot of guards around her house. The girl’s father was a minster. The guards showed him her studying room, and he went there. He waited for five minutes in her room. Suddenly, she entered the room, and she started cutting her clothes just like a crazy to show that she was under a sexual attack from Dana.
“What is that? Why are you cutting your clothes?” he said.
After she cut her clothes, and she shrieked like she was going to die. “Help, help, help,” she said loudly.
Dana shocked, and he didn’t know what was going on. The guards arrived, and they started to hit Dana. They tortured him a lot because the girl showed herself look like Dana attacked her. The guards called her father, and her mother. A lot of relative came to her house, and the police. Now every relative and neighbors knew about that. The girl’s father was very angry, and he wanted to kill Dana, but the police didn’t let him. The police took him to the police station.
In the police station he said to the police, “believe me, I didn’t do anything. She did that on purpose.”
No one believed him, and everyone acted with him like he was a dangerous criminal. He was worried about his mother’s reaction when she heard about him from the police. The police called his mother, and told what happened. No one from his family believed that Dana did something like that. His mother stopped eating since she heard that.
After a week, the police took him to a court. The girl’s father brought the guards to the court like witnesses, and he got a good lawyer to defend of his daughter. The judge sentenced Dana to three years in the prison. After that, the mother became dumb since she heard that her son will be in the prison for next three years.
Dana decided to study hard in the prison to not loss years without doing anything. One of his American teachers brought him a lot of English books. He could learn English very well during the prison time.
The girl who accused him was about to die because she had a cancer. She was living with the agony of death in the hospital. She wanted to tell her family the truth that Dana was innocent. She told her family the truth, and her family shocked. Immediately, her father went to the court to release Dana. The day after that, Dana released after two years in the prison.
The girl’s father told Dana, “Tell me what you want? I’m ready to give you everything I have.”
“I don’t need anything from you,” Dana said.
The girl’s family came to him, and asked him, “please Dana come to the hospital and forgive our daughter. She likes to see you and tell you I’m sorry. “Do you know why we are so serious about that because we asked our daughter, what your last hope is? “My last hope is to see Dana and hear [I forgave you] from himself,” She answered.
Dana couldn’t sleep that night. He remembered his mother’s advice, “If someone did a bad thing with you, therefore you need to do the right thing to them. Because if you do the same thing that they did to you, then you’ll be like them.” Dana said, “I’ll choose a way to be different from them, and I’ll follow my mother advice.”
Next day, he went to the hospital and said, “I forgave you, and I hope to see you in the heaven.” A few moment later, the girl died, and Dana hugged her quietly, painfully, and crying said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t want that happen to you.”
