The Father's Will //(A Thoughtful Story)

avatar

Not all things come as a fortune we get out of fate,but sometimes fate can be tremendously negative. For some reason, what we expect and what we hope of getting, dont happen the same, instead misfortune takes over all our life.

Today,I would share with you,a story that look very interesting to me.Story that speaks of reality, very true and pragmatic. A painful story of a middle aged man who suffered, a drastic sorrow to get back to his previous life.For sometimes he tried to blame to his whimsicality, but he knew that, all he could do is blame himself and nobody else. So, lets get into the event.[Sorry for some spelling mistakes]

The Onset.

It was a very humid day and thick clouds began to rush from one corner of the sky to other side.The drizzling sound of the outside road blew from the south side to north and the nature took a beautiful shape for the refreshment caused by the rain and wind-blow.On the south point of parkin street, there used to live a man named as Andrew and he had his own apartment where he used to live with his wife.

He was quite very educated and had a lot of wealth and much of which he inherited from his parental property. It was his father when was in his deathbed, on a sunny morning called him to come and sit beside him, sending a letter that an important talk were to be exchanged with him and Andrew should come urgent.In due time,Andrew received the letter and looking the black seal sign, pointing the address of his father, made him to be seriously curious.

The Inside.

He came back very soon and on the way returning home that night, a steep line of concern began to get very prominent in his forehead and all throughout the journey, his mind was so much busy in speculating -- what would happen and what important thing would be there to be talked with Andrew.
All those thoughts looked very mysterious to him.Andrew was also concerned of his fathers health ; he knew father might fall to serious health trouble any time.

The train passage took 8 hours to reach at the old home.When he reached to his fathers big house, he started to see so many relatives present and chatting with each other.They looked very happy to have joined in the free invitation his father sent to them, and Andrew could understand that from previous experience -- because in the past, his father used to invite old friends and relatives almost in a fortnightly time.

When Andrew came to his house, all those relatives and neighbours began to greet him and took few chats,how he was since the last get together, why he was busy and quite a lot of time passed since they met, etc etc.Andrew seemingly felt bored of answering all those questions one after another, but he was smiling all of a sudden.After the get together session ended, he entered straight into his house and there he met with his mother and then went back to his fathers room.

It was a quite a different father, last time he saw quite a few years ago.His father developed more beard and the partially blackened hair turned completely white and he couldnt believe it was his father.His father was at his Seventies and so age quite been able to made serious impression upon health and mind.When Andrew came before him,he just kept saying,

My son,you are back! How long I have been waiting for you and nice that you are safe and come here and sit beside me*.

Andrew could feel that, his fathers eye dazzled and sparkled to see his son coming back at the house.He gently sat beside him and began to listen what important talk his father had to say urgently for the reason he came back home despite serious busy work in the city.His father ordered the guard to close the door down and leaving the room to be fully empty.There were two person in that room :
Andrew & His Father.

When everything became silent and no people in the room to sneak in their conversation, father began to speak up to his son. He started speaking right from the day when his father did the same to his eleder son and as it became a tradition, he instructed to do the same thing to Andrew's son.
Andrew understood that it was the case of family tradition, so he followed his fathers order.

Father told him that, their family being the most rich in their locality, they had so many properties to look after and maintain properly. Father said,if the property left untreated and a case that was filed against them by the other neighbour,named David who were the constant enemy for their family.

Saying that, here I am signing in all the property for you,that would be my order son, dont spoil it and always try to maintain the property, safe and sound and aloof from other neighbours and the close relatives,who would always be there to look after your wealth and be in touch with you.But beware, dont say anything about the property to them and always skip the issue in the discourse.

Andrew aligned with all the fathers order and advices. Lastly, Father said, whole of your life in the future, dont try to mingle and deal with David's family, they are just like serpent and carry venom in their vein.If you do roam with them ever,they will make you lose everything, always remind that son.

It was the last meeting of Andrew with his father and since then he lost the best advisor, the constant companion and guide of his life.Quite few years passed, he married a girl,whom latter became his wife and they had a wonderful family. Andrew from that time used to live in the city nesr his office and everything was okay, until certain event happened with him.

He was busy taking a paper of office where he left the other day in his room.He hurriedly took the briefcase and went fast to office to attend and kick of working.But, all of a sudden he saw that half of his papers were empty and all those necessary documents lost with it.He was in a serious panic and couldnt find any clue to that event.Who stole that away and since, nobody knew the codes and the symbols he put out of the paternal property, he was sure its not normal.Something else was behind it.

After that event, he hurriedly got to his house and told everything about to his wife.His wife told him that, the day before yesterday, when he was returning home from the old town, he happened to meet with all his neighbours and colleagues. Quite a few years ago, his father forbade him not to mingle with the neighbours much, now he could remember the rest of what happened then.

At some point,he got thirsty and went to a house, he couldn’t tell whose it was.He entered into the house and asked for a glass of water. A girl was there and out of courtesy told him to come in and have a sit.He followed there and had the glass of water. After taking some rest, he started walking towards his house, and that was it.

Now he could remember that, it was David's house where he drank water and they stole the copy of the paper where 1/4th of the property was written and that was the only paper with the code.He was undone and began to get frustrated for the strange happening. It was his whimsicality and misfortune that made him to lose his wealth.If he were bit cautious this incident didnt have chance to happen.

But,what had happened, happened forever.Since then, he learnt an important lesson.That is, what father opines to his child,always get correct and the most valuable advice on earth.He looked to that scene when his father spoke of the advice and now he not being cautious that time -- had to lose the vital wealth.

So,at last this could be said that, we must keep cautious and sticking with fathers advice is the best policy for life.What lesson else can you take? Do make me know about this.Thanks for reading and see you soon.Till then good-bye.

Hello @asif7. A valuable lesson indeed not to heed his father's advice. Sometimes children think parents don't know what they are talking about. They think parents haven't witnessed or experienced the things they are currently going through. Wise are parents that try to teach and warn their children of dangers they have yet to encounter. Andrew learned a valuable lesson. It's sad that he had to lose his inheritance.

Thanks for sharing. Take care.
