Today morning I was taking a couple of tea in my garden and reading newspaper. The weather was nice, and then I saw a shadow coming towards me. Shadow’s hair was gliding leaves in summer. Due to the sunshine, I was not able to see his face. Slowly, slowly I was able to see his face. I was shocked to see him. I knew that he had come to me for help filled with any kind of selfishness. And yes, he came to me just like which I have requested him that day. Today he is at that stage where I was 3 years ago.
“It was the time when I was in college. I was one of the most famous boys of my college. No one dares to challenge me as I had a good impression towards the students and professors. All where my friends and they helped me in difficulty and me also. My life going in an enjoyable way but after he came my life was fully changed. His name was John.He was pretty smarter, smarter than me also. He was miser towards everyone in my college, my friends, my teachers and even me also. He wanted to take my position. First of all, he tried to be one of my friends . I was an easily believing person, I accepted his request and his plan was successful. He used me as a ladder to touch the sky of success. And slowly, slowly he was more popular than me and as he became more popular, the person who was always wanted to talk with me started ignoring me. I was surprised due to his attitude but my true friends told me to ignore him and take care of my study and it was end of our friendship.Our friendship was totally broken like mirror. After few days I came to know that he was coming in contact with bad boys who were smugglers.They do the business of drugs mobiles and many more. I have gone to talk in hope that he would again be one of my friends. He was in college’s campus and thinking something. I told him that he is going to a well from where he can’t come but he didn’t listened my one words also and even scolded me. I leaved from there. I was upset for him.
One day, all the student of colleges was sitting in the lecture’s room. He was also present there. The teacher announced about the smuggling going in school. She told that the all the student’s bag will be checked and they taken our bags. John friend’s taken me out of college’s campus for some reason .I gone with them. Until I was talking with his friend, he kept some drugs and phones in my bag .I did not know about this incident. When the checking started, many students were caught but when John chance came, nothing was found. I was shocked but when my turn came. ‘What …….’ I was not able to believe that few drugs and phones were taken out from my bag. I came to know that he kept all things in my bag. But it was too late.I asked help from him but he told me, ‘sorry but I can’t do anything’.
But there was no value of sorry that time. I was a good student that’s why; the principal and teacher gave me chance. My parents done my transfer to other college and completed my graduation.
Today I am a big buisness man.I have my own diamond mines and there are few smugglers in my mines but after trying a lot I couldn’t find them. But one of them was standing near me. And yes he is John. One of my biggest enemy. He was one of the smugglers of my diamond.
He told me, ‘police started the investigation and soon they will come to me.please help me.my career is on line.
I told him, ‘you were one of the smugglers of my diamonds’
He told me, ‘ yes’
I told him , ‘why do I help you and how dare you to come here to me.And by the way,did you help me that day and that time it was not my fault, it was yours and today also’.
He started begging near me and prayed a lot .
I told me to go from there and after consulting to my friends and partners. I given him a chance and after that day he proved himself and we became friend and lived happily.
