It took Tamim and his father fifteen minutes to reach the madrasah.
Tamim's first day was interesting because despite arriving a bit late to class, he was greeted warmly by a teacher and found the students in his new class to be very friendly, which likely made him feel welcome and comfortable in the new environment.
If Tamim had been shy, finding the students 'very friendly' would have significantly helped him overcome his shyness. Friendly students would likely initiate conversations, invite him to join activities, or simply offer smiles and welcoming gestures, making him feel less alone and more comfortable to interact and make new friends.
Upon entering the madrasah gate alone after his father left, Tamim might have felt a sense of apprehension or nervousness, possibly even a bit lost, as he found everyone had already gone to class. However, after finding a seat, and especially after the teacher warmly greeted everyone and he observed the students were friendly, his feelings likely transitioned to relief, comfort, and perhaps even excitement. The initial potential anxiety would have been replaced by a sense of belonging and positive anticipation for his new madrasah experience.
