THE TIME WHEN I FAILED , PART - 3
As we sat in the car, the old man started the conversation. He first asked, How many people do you live with. I answered, 3 members apart from me. He then asked, So your dad always wanted you to work.
I answered, Yes. He thought that I should work now. But I wanted to complete my education first. But as he was not ready to pay the fees, I had to find a job. And now I have a job.
After listening my answer, the old man asked a very tricky question. He asked, So you are happy with your current job ? I answered, Dad wanted me to do a job and now I am. He quickly replied, I asked about you. I know that your dad will be happy when he finds out that now you are working. But are you happy.
I hesitated and then answered, I mean. I am not completely happy. I still think that if, I could continue with my further education, I could have earned more. I could have contributed more to my family's savings or budget. But as people say, you should be happy in what you have.
The old man took some time and then answered, Still do what you love and you want to do. Don't sacrifice your dreams for the burden that you are getting from your father.
He takes some time and then says, I was very young when I lost my father. He left a huge debt for me and my mother. After some time, I got to know that my mother is suffering from cancer. I didn't had the money to pay to the doctors. She died soon.
I left that city and came here to Mumbai to fulfil my dreams. I have worked as a vegetable vendor to a businessman. As a piece of advice, I just want to say that one day. Your time will come too. And that day everything will change for you.
We reached his house, he asked me to reach the restaurant early tomorrow and he asked me to park the car in the parking. I parked the car and then left for my house. My house was on a walking distance from the old man's house.
I went home, told everyone that I have a job finally. Everyone was so happy. Dad and mom told everyone in the neighbourhood about my new job. I couldn't tell my friends as according to them I belong to a family as rich as their families. This new job was like a new start to my life.
For the next part you will have to wait.
