A heartfelt memory

In the emotional video, Zainab shared that the previous year, due to the pandemic, they had only interacted through a video call on her grandmother’s birthday. She added, "Last year, on my Ummumma's birthday, I wore my uniform and did a video call. I surprised her with that. But this year, same time, I am in front of my house." The touching words and the subsequent surprise visit created an unforgettable moment for both, making it a special birthday celebration indeed.
