A Mother's Faith and An Angel...

It was past 2 AM on some specific day. I was unable to sleep because one issue kept me awake. Then my phone started ringing. It was an unknown number. Who the hell is this calling me this time?  I picked the call.

Because of one wrong decision my financial condition got sacked. I was getting the blame for everything. I was being blamed for all the wrong things for which I was not even responsible remotely. The people who used to leave their chair when I used to walk in any deal, now the same people had the words to talk ill about me. I did not have the job and my account balance showed only 1295.58 Rs even there was the pressure to feed my hunger and the incident threw me in deep debt. I did not have any way to repay.  My credentials had fallen in the market, so I was virtually banned to be in game until I restore the faith. People avoided me, so that I could not ask for the help. I had the perfect opportunity to see the real face of the people and I was afraid that I may cultivate the hatred towards the human kind.

"Pradeep Bhai...!!", I listened a familiar voice.

"Haan Bhai..," I replied and I did not know what to say next I just wanted to keep smiling on hearing this voice.

He questioned, " How are you doing?"
"I am going to survive some more days," I replied.

"Don't give up! Remember your mother..." He gave suggestion.

It was my cousin. With whom I grew up. I don't know where he is staying? Most of the time I doubt whether he is alive? He does not leave any footprints for the trace. Most of the time he keeps the hawk eyes what is going on with me. 

Years passed by I did not hear anything from him. I vividly remember he called me last time in Dec, 2011, when I was going through very serious illness. Pain was so intense that I was contemplating to kill myself. Then he came as the angel or "Alien"  to give me strength to fight with my physical and emotional condition . His words still echoed in my head "Remember your mother did not lose hope when everybody said to give her up. You are the product of hard work and dedication of your mother. You can't be weak." 

He was reminding me the situation when I had the polio in my neck then I was around one year old. Doctor advice that I am not going to be physically normal but my mother refused instead she fought with condition and took me for the treatment continuos 7 months without missing a single day. People mocked her. Some of the relative called her mad. She faced the scorching heat. She herself hit by heat stroke. Many times she faced the hailstorm. After all the hardship and her dedication I was looking physically well but treatment had killed my immunity. For this she fasted on Thursday for my well being until I have the moustache line on my face. I don't know whether her fasting help me in my health or not but her care did and her care did miracle. Believe me I trust in miracle. 

Now I was fighting with real problems and with real peoples who wore the facade. It was depressing and beyond this it was making me angry. The peoples reaction was so bad that I wanted to shoot them at the spot. I helped them grow and these people wanted me not to meet them. I was trying to find the shelter. I was desperately waiting for the miracle to happen but it was not happening.

"Yeah... I know," I replied and kept silent.

He said, "Pradeep, I can help you in this and everything will be fine within one week but I would not."

"Any reason for this decision?" I asked.

He replied, "Get out of this, you can do it and you can come strong..." and he did not answer my question.

It's his habit he never answered my questions. He left the questions for me to discover the answers.

"Good luck!" he said and cut call.

I tried to speak more with him back but he did not pick the call and few hours later that no. was switched off. Even I could not ask where he is and how is doing? I hope he would be doing well. Again, he disappeared like angel and did not hear again since then. Still I don't know where he is?

I did not sleep whole night. In morning, I decided to stop thinking whatever bad is happening with me and I decided to concentrate how to solve it. Miracle happened I found it once again. I got rid off the problem. I got rid off the peoples.

But, I am expecting could hear back from him. I am expecting my mother to stop fasting. She stopped for few weeks but she resumed again. May be she is still praying for my well being. May be he is watching me like angel. I know when I am in problem my mother prayer will bring me out and that Alien will come to guide me way out.
