I
am a 63 yrs aged man now, a upper middle class retired businessman,
Delhi based since birth . I have one son who is married and took over my
business a couple of yrs back and separated with me since then and my
wife had expired 1.5 years before (the main reason for her death is my
useless selfish joru ka ghulam son) and I have hardly any relation with
my son since then ..
This incidence took place in June 2007. I was returning from my showroom at late evening in metro. At that time , there were no separate coaches. A girl of age 20-21 was sitting by my side. She was wearing a simple salwar suit , carrying some books in hand and from her first look, I was sure that she belonged to a good decent family and she looked intelligent and sensible but she was having a look of tough worries on her face and when I noticed more, she was crying silently with tears in her eyes and wiping them in between so that no one could catch her action. I was puzzled and when she got at her destination, I followed her without her notice to locate her house.
When I inquired about her details (through a friend of mine living in that locality), it came to my knowledge that she was doing MBBS and her father was no more since 2 yrs and her mother and she being the only daughter were members in that family. Then , I went to her home with my wife and we introduced ourselves and came to know that they both mother and daughter were living toughly on her father's defense pension money and she was in 3rd year but it was very much difficult for them to bear all expenses since almost past 1 year ( rent house/routine expenses/education) and she was coming back on that day after taking hers daily tuitions for school children to support for her medical fees and they were thinking of discontinuing her college due to lack of money. We were shocked to know all this and told them that we want to support them with her education expenses completely but they both were hesitant due to their self respect. Anyhow , after 2-3 visits at their home and seeing our interest (bcoz we did not had any girl child and our son was never good in studies) , they agreed on the condition that I will be paid back after her becoming Doctor .
Since then, we financed all her medical for rest of 2.5-3 yrs and she came out with excellent grades in all her exams. She got the appointment in one of the prime hospital in Delhi and doing her practice since approx. 3 yrs now. Unfortunately, her mother passed away in an accident after 3 months of her joining the job. She offered me the full monetary amount many times but I always refused to accept that as that amount does not make any difference in my life at this last phase of life and I have reasonable enough for my survival. She has been married to a fellow colleague doctor last year. And that marriage was done after my consent only as she gives me more respect than I deserve And her husband is also a gem of a person.
I am doing social works nowadays and every weekend and holidays, she is visiting my house and taking care of me more than any real children could do for their parents and had forced me many times to shift to her house but I humbly refused. I proudly say and confess here today that I am lucky to have a daughter like her who makes me forget my all pains of relations and worries for me more than anyone can even think. Who says that "betiya baap ke liye bhoj hoti hai balki beti pana to naseebwalo ki kismat mein hota hai".
At last, I could only say that even a small good work never go in waste as my this real life story is the best example for that. I am damn sure that I don't have to worry for anything for the rest of my this life because my this daughter is always by my side to take care for me till my last breath and I am always grateful to god and metro who brought such a incidence in my life which changed my entire end period of life . And very happy to say that I am expected to become Nana in coming 3-4 months. Bas, could only pray to god to always keep my family happy and god bless you, BETA..'
