Photo credit: wallyir from morguefile.com
Daniyal was a very famous business man in the whole city and he was extremely successful as business man. The biggest quality in Daniyal was that he was extremely rich but there was a very down to earth person, he was not proud of what he was or how rich he was. He always used to help others and respect his elders, he was a true and an honest person who was not only with his work but was honest with the other people as well.
One day he was on his way back to home from office in his brand new luxurious car, he suddenly stopped his car underneath a building which was under construction and many people were working on it. He suddenly saw a little boy who was carrying bricks from one place to the other. Daniyal kept on looking at that boy for a while and while looking at him his mind drowned into the thoughts of his past.
Daniyal’s parents had died when he was a kid and he spent all his childhood with his relatives who never really liked Daniyal infact they used to treat him in an ill manner and they treated him more like a servant rather than a relative. They didn’t send Daniyal to school infact they asked him to earn money by doing work. Daniyal used to work all day long in buildings which were under construction, and whatever amount he used to earn his relatives used to snatch that amount from Daniyal.
One day in scorching heat Dniyal was working in an under construction building a man came to him, who appeared to be very rich and well off because of his luxurious dress he was wearing. He asked Daniyal that why doesn’t he go to school? Daniyal told everything about him and told how his relatives make him do this work and how they snatch all the money that he earns. After listening to Dniyal’s story that man asked Daniyal,
“Will you come with me? I will give you good clothes to wear, I will give you good food to eat and I will admit you in a good school as well and I will bring you up like my own son.”
Daniyal always had a special place in his heart for the school and studies so he immediately said yes to that man but asked that man to take permission from his relatives first. That man went to Daniyal’s home and asked his relatives if he can adopt Daniyal. His realtives at first were reluctant to let Daniyal go but they were greedy for money so that man offered them some money to take Daniyal with him.
That man was the famous businessman Ali. He had many factories which were running in the city and he was an extremely rich person, he didn’t have any child. Ali took Daniyal with him and treated him like his own son. He gave him good education, Daniyal was very intelligent and he proved himself in the education field. He completed his education and looking at his abilities and his intelligence Ali handed over all his business to Daniyal because he was now getting old and he needed the support of any person who could support him and handle all his business. He had brought Daniyal like his own blood son and he had full confidence in Dniyal that he would always live up to his expectations. Daniyal didn’t only live up to his expectation in fact he delivered more than his expectations and he did everything what a father expects from his son. Ali was like an angel for Daniyal who had brought him up and had given him a new life.
One day Ali called Daniyal and said “My son I want to tell something to you. I was very poor when I was a little kid, my parents died when I was a young kid I had nowhere to go and no one was there to take care of me. My father Akbar adopted me brought me up, gave me a good life and whatever I am today I am because of him. He guided in every aspect of life just like I guided you, I am here because of him. Daniyal my son I am very old now, I stay sick for most of the time as you know and I will die any day. I wasn’t a promise from you.”
“Father please order what you want I am bound to obey you. I will do anything to fulfil your wish.” Daniyal said this with tears in his eyes and with a shivering voice.
“I was in debt to my father Akbar, because he brought me up and gave me a new life, i brought you up and clear that debt from my life I paid that debt by bringing you up and giving you a new life. I want you to continue this process as well, I want you to bring up a poor child like me and you and clear this debt from your life too”. Said Ali with tears rolling over his cheeks.
“I will make sure that fulfil your wish I promise you that”. Replied Daniyal.
After few days of this Ali died due to cancer and Daniyal was shell shocked at it, he loved his father A LOT.
Daniyal suddenly came out of all those thoughts and again started looking at that poor boy who was carrying bricks from one place to the other, Daniyal decided that he will adopt this child and will clear the DEBT from his life forever…
