As every other year, I was counting the days left for my birthday. Though my father was currently jobless and all the expenses of the household were managed by my mother's income and the savings my parents had made. And that clearly meant that we need to lessen our expenses and save as much as we can. But my father was ready to give me and my brother the best party possible on our birthdays. I am not such an adult that I won't be stubborn for anything. But I know that I don't have to be one this time. And I have to expect and wish for the thing we can afford. I can spend but also be responsible enough. But who knew how sad day December 6, 2020, would be! After my father left the company 'Vodafone Idea Limited', he worked with his friend, who owned an office and had his men to make furniture for offices, as a partner. But the income there, wasn't enough, so my father kept on trying for other jobs. He finally got one in a company. But it wasn't as big as a professional one. And as he got more involved in it, he got to know that the owner was also involved in a lot of fake and corrupt activities. But my father and one more employee denied involving in any such thing. After sometime, the owner's financials began to drown. As my father worked just under the owner, he told my father to dissolve the team as there's no money to pay for their salaries. After a few days, the owner called back all the team members except my father and that another employee (who denied) to join the company again. We understood what it meant. But we wanted the pending salary which he wasn't giving. My father went to take his leftover belongings. He also brought some papers and stamps which proved that the owner was involved in corrupt activities. But the owner found out about it and on 5th December 2020 he filed an FIR against us. We were just thinking to figure out something when my father got a call from the police station. They were calling us to tell us about the FIR and that my father has to go to the police station. Then my elders talked to some relatives and a police officer was ready to help us. The matter got sorted positively by 7th. But My Birthday on 6th December passed in all sadness. We then thanked the Police officer. After a few days, we had a good treat. And I was satisfied.
