Time pass away

Once a widow lived in a small town in Lahore. She used to live with his son Ali, who was a very brilliant and hardworking child. The mother was a teacher in the primary school of the town. She worked hard towards his studies of his only son. She had ever endeavored to provide him with every facility. She sweated blood to fulfill all the needs of his beloved son.

Ali was very good in studies and obedient to his mum. he always respected her a lot and always took good care of his mother, as she was the only well-wisher of him. They were very poor, but satisfied. Because the mother always encouraged  him to do good things, as all mothers do.

Ali sometimes got dissapointed about, Why Allah has made them so poor??

when he used to see his friends, he sometimes feel jealous, and started complaining Allah about their poverty. His mother used to teach him that time never remains same, this bad and hard time would change one day. He never understood the words of his mum's words, but as he trusted her fully, so he believed it.

He started working hard, and hard with full devotion. Ali grew up bearing all the advises of his mother, and responded well to her hard labour by showing outstanding results in all the stages of studies.

One day, his efforts brought good fruits, and he became a successful businessman after a lot and lot of hard work. Ali bought a well-furnished bungalow for him and his mother. Their life style was changed. They started wearing branded clothes. Their standard of a living increased and so increased Ali's wishes He gradually forgot the days of poverty he had. They were having a happy life . He was much more rich now than the friends Once he was jealous of in the childhood. This richness created pride in him. He forgot the advices his mother.

His mother who was satisfied lady in past started leading a restless life. she used to get upset because of her son's acts. She tried many times to make him understand, that he should not be like a money worshiper. But Ali, crazy about money, never listened to her.

His mother passed away with a burden of sorrows. Ali felt really sad after her death but with time, he got used to it, so continued his business life again.He turned out to be a more selfish , more stone heart person than before.

Once a beggar came to him, when he was stuck in the traffic on the road. The beggar knocked at the window of Ali's car, and asked Ali to help him out. But Ali, who was already in bad mood, didn't listen to him. when he saw the marks of beggar's hand on the car window, he got annoyed and slapped  the beggar in anger.He pushed the beggar who fell down on the road and got injured. Ali didn't notice it and moved on to his office. 

He was getting late for his office as he has to attend an important meeting. when he reached the office, he hurried towards his cabin where other members were already waiting for him.

They discussed the project under consideration which was about some medicines from London. One of the directors raised issue of the expiry date of the medicines, but Ali, who was crazy about money making, approved the project.

When those medicines were delivered, the team hurried to sale them. Having those medicines, many children died.

On investigation, Police arrested Ali for this illegal act. Some of his directors were also being arrested. He was taken to jail. His business was sealed. He remained in jail for two years.

After two years,  he was freed from the jail, and went to his home.When he reached his bungalow, he was informed that his house was also sealed to repay the loans taking for his business.

He has nothing left now. Everything was finished. Sitting at the gate of that bungalow, thinking about the time he had with his mother there.....

Mother....

some words said by his mother flashed through his mind.

And these words were, Time pass away 

Tears shed from his eyes, he felt ashamed for being so cruel to people. But nothing was left.
