The life-changing Christmas "Bring the money home if you want us to love you!!!", said Ela's stepmom to her. "Could I please be with you for Christmas?", said Ela to her parents. "I have already sold a whole basket of candy..." Her stepmom was not satisfied with that and she tried to blackmail her emotionally. She asked if she wanted her parents to starve. Ela hoped her father would support her. There was a snowstorm outside so she asked her father to let her in. But her stepmother had him under her thumb for a long time. He said to Ela that she had to obey her new mom and she was always right. So, they gave her the candy basket and closed the door. The girl had no choice but to gather her courage and wits and went to sell candy. She walked along the empty snow-covered streets. She looked into the windows and saw children spend Christmas eve with their parents. As the freezing wind tried to knock her off her feet, she knocked on every door and smiled sweetly. She offered them the candy saying that they were the most delicious Christmas candy ever. Every person was surprised to see a little girl selling candy. They asked her what she was doing there and if she didn't like Christmas. However, they bought candy and suggested her to go home early. Ela's hands were shivering with cold. She dreamed of a hot dinner but still had a lot of candy in her basket. The further she walked, the more terrified she became. And not because of the darkness, but due to the old house at the end of the street. However, soon there was just one candy and one house left. She trembled with unknown fears and said, "Oh no! The Cannibal's house!" Her stepmom told her that a crazy man lived there. He ate his little daughter years ago, and all the children in the city were afraid to approach this house. Even some adults bypassed him. Suddenly, she saw the flame of a lit candle in the house. A creepy silhouette appeared in the window and whispered something to Ela. The frightened girl ran away screaming. She reached home but the stepmother did not even listen to the poor child. She told her that she should have sold all the candy and got angry. Ela begged to finish the next day. She said that she was so cold and scared and asked them if she could go inside. Her stepmother was fuming and said, "Lazy creature! I replaced your mother, and this is how you thank me?!" Ela cried and looked pleadingly at her father, but as usual, he didn't stand by her side. He said to her, "How dare you come back without completing your errands?" She replied that she was so afraid to go to Cannibal's house. "Give him some candy and he won't touch you!", advised her stepmom and closed the door. The girl had no choice but to return to the scary house. She was freezing, and her stomach was growling from hunger. However, she could not find the courage to knock on the door. She rather decided to wait for a passer-by and sell him candy. Ela sat down, and after a few minutes, started falling asleep. When she was close to freezing, she saw a dark silhouette, looking like death. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and said, "What happened? Where am I?" She looked around and realized that she was in Cannibal's house! She was so afraid and at that moment the scary silhouette was quickly approaching her. She closed her eyes and requested him not to eat her. But suddenly, an ordinary man came out to Ela with a tray. He smiled and asked her why he would eat her if he had made pancakes. She asked him how she had got there. He replied that he saw her lying on the ground. A couple of minutes and she would have frozen. He also said that he couldn't leave her there because she looked so much like her daughter. He was looking sad but Ela could not but said, "The one you ate?" "What? No! My daughter was seriously ill. She was suffering from cancer. I spent many years fighting for her life, but I could not save her. She died on Christmas eve, and it changed me so much.", said the man. Ela's eyes filled with tears and she hugged him. She could realize that people judged him by his looks, but they were wrong. She thanked him for saving her. Suddenly he remembered that Ela's family must be searching for her all night. So, he told her that he would take her home. Ela still hoped that her parents were worried about her. And the man and she came to her father's house. In the window, they saw a happy, married couple who was unpacking gifts and having fun. He was so upset and asked Ela why her family was celebrating when she was not home all night. Ela was upset too and replied that they didn't need her, actually, nobody needed her. He replied that they didn't deserve such a good daughter like her. He added that he would help her find the most loving family. Ela was also surprised but became much happy. Because she would love to live with that generous unknown person instead of her family. `Sometimes a stranger is kinder than a close person. So, there is good, even where you least expect it to be.`

My perfect day was ruined! It was 8:50 am. And I am awake. Usually, I get up hearing the alarm. The last night I set my alarm at 9:00 am. So, I was supposed to be awake at that time. But it was a special day for me! And you know when your brain is awake, you can't sleep anymore. That's what happened to me. Usually, I feel so excited about this day and it returns to my life after a week. I mean to say, every week there is a special day for me. Friday and Saturday are public holidays here, so usually, these two days have a higher percentage to be my that very day. So, for this week, it was today. Yeah, today! But surprisingly, it was not. Actually today I wanted to go out with my only friend. We planned it at the night and that person insisted so that I call at 9:00 am. So, getting up at 8:50 am, I was actually waiting for 9. I had nothing to do except check my read cash. In fact, every morning, when I woke up, I check it. Then I viewed some posts and finally, it was 9:00 am. So, I called and my friend said that he had already woken up. I was like over the moon! And excited as finally, we're going out this week. Then I was still lying because it takes him to come to my place about 2 and a half hours. So, I was browsing Facebook and watching videos, memes, and stories. By this time, I tried to read a novel too. But after reading some pages, I feel like I could not concentrate. I was rather thinking about what to wear today, which lipstick should I apply, should I try my new pendent and eyeliner or go as usual, and many more. Suddenly, I got a phone call from my friend. I was kinda thrilled thinking that he was already on his way and I have to get ready now. But when I picked up the call, I heard his sleepy voice. Yeah, he was not on his way and had to cancel today's plan! I was numb at first and thought it was a prank like every time he does with me. So, I could not believe and still had hope. Then hours passed and I called him. Actually, I could not take it. But there was no response. However, I didn't want to let my feelings hurt me. So, I tried to watch movies. I searched IMDB for the best movie suggestion. I got *inception* but could not manage the resource. And when I watched the trailer, I understood that I have watched it earlier. (I actually forget the movie's name, novel's name, and characters but can only remember the content.) Then I got a suggestion *I still believe* I didn't watch the trailer so I had no idea about the content. I was looking for some kind of movie that could help me to forget about the day's plan. However, I started watching. The first parts were good, but it was not funny. It was about love. And when two-person just fell in love, the girl, Melissa was diagnosed with 3 stage cancer. Though there was no hope, they believed, and finally, she was cured. They were married and had their dream life. But suddenly, she felt the same things and was admitted. She had to welcome her cancer and also death. It was so shocking! It was maybe based on a true story. That boy Jeremy Camp then again started his profession "singing" as per his late wife's wish. Then in one of his concerts, he met a girl and was married later. Together they told the story of Melissa around the world. At that moment, I was so soft-hearted, and guess what I could not hold back my eyes watching their love for each other. They fought so hard but had to accept the bitter truth. I wish that no one had to face this where they had to trade their loved ones with death. After watching I felt so sad and didn't have my lunch. I heard a detective story and fell into sleep. When I woke up it was already 5:30 pm. I checked my read cash and phone. But there was no call. Huh! I woke up and then browsed and browsed. Then I took my lunch at 6:30 pm. And it's already 11:00 pm and feeling hungry. After finishing the article, I am going to take my dinner. I had lots of grief about today. I am so sentimental. I know it's not good at all but can't hold me back. But right now most of my grief has disappeared as we have set a plan to go out tomorrow. He said lots of sorry and said that he was so weak that could not wake up. So, he phoned to inform me. And then slept till afternoon. So, now I think I can forgive him and already started planning!

Love makes us see the beauty Mila's husband was a famous plastic surgeon in town. So, at the time of their getting old, he made a number of surgery on her. That day, Mila was again inside the operation theatre. "Enough! This is going to be the tenth surgery on my face.", she said to her husband. "So, what? Darling, thanks to me. You look 20 years old.", her husband said. She was against the surgery and tried to stop it. She told him that she had not recovered from the last surgery yet. But he hardly cared. He said, "I don't give a damn!" and forced her. He also said that he would try his new method of rejuvenation on her that day. And he would show the results at a conference in 2 weeks. He was sure that it would make him a great surgeon and she would become the most beautiful woman on earth. Two weeks passed and that day Mila saw her face. But she was stunned and said, "I'm a monster!" The surgery went wrong! She asked her husband what he had done. But he forbade her to scream. Mila was however losing her temper and told him to fix his mistake. She reminded him that he was a plastic surgeon. He simply replied that it was impossible. Then he threw her dresses on her and said, "Get dressed now! I'll walk you out the back door and take you to a house on the outskirts of town." She was afraid this time and asked him the reason. He replied that it was important so that she didn't ruin his reputation. He also told her that she never had to leave the house again and he would bring her food in his free time. Mila thought it was a bad dream. But it led her to a rural area to live alone. Her husband started coming less often and soon stopped coming at all. The miserable woman became an outcast. And then one afternoon, someone knocked on the door. It was a postman who brought her a letter. But when he saw her face, he was so afraid and addressed her as a monster. He dropped the letter and ran away. She was heartbroken, especially when she saw the divorce papers in the envelope. Mila didn't want to live, but suddenly, she heard someone's cry for help. While running away, the postman had knocked down a man and for some reason, he could not get up. Mila was afraid of people and the outside world now, but seeing that man, she made her overcome her fear and rush to help. She gave him his lost cane and told him not to look at her face. The man replied that it was a cane for the blind, so though he wanted to see her face, he was unable. The man turned out to be Mila's only neighbor. And the next day, he knocked on her door. He asked her if he could invite her to his place for dinner to thank her. She simply refused him saying that she didn't leave her house. He asked her where she got food then. Mila silently closed the door and started crying. She hadn't eaten for three days already. The next morning, she found bags with groceries on her porch. And from then the stranger brought her food every two days and a few flowers from his garden. She thanked him and asked if she could do anything for him. He asked her to describe the sunset and everything she saw to him. So, they started meeting every evening and talking until late in the night. With him, Mila forgot about her looks and could laugh like before. She felt like an ordinary girl. And soon she realized that she was in love. But that same evening, everything dramatically changed. Paul told her that they needed to have a serious talk. He started saying, "Today is a special day. I recently found a doctor who can restore vision for people like me and 95 percent of his surgeries are successful!" Mila started crying. She knew that their relationship would end as soon as Paul saw her face. However, she didn't let him understand that she was upset. Instead, she told him that she would be happy if he was able to see. However, she added that she was afraid he would not like her. Suddenly, he removed his glasses and said that he just didn't like the tears he saw right then. He wiped away her tears. Mila took a second to realize everything. She jumped to the side and covered her face with her hands. But Paul just smiled. He told her that she was the most beautiful woman in the universe to him. After moments Mila also realized that she could accept herself. One evening, Paul asked her what about her husband, if she didn't want revenge. Mila replied that life would punish him for everything. It is not beauty that causes love, but love that makes us see the beauty.

Miracle It was Christmas! Everyone was enjoying it except one family: little Nora and her mom. Her mom was sick for an unknown reason and needed expensive treatment. But they had little money to live. "Only a miracle will help your mother!", said the doctor to Nora. "This is the only hope for poor people like you." "Doctor please help my mom.", she could not but cry. "You don't have enough money to treat her, so....this will be her last Christmas.", said the cruel doctor. He was about to leave when he forbade Nora to bother him with those trifles anymore. She was hurt! Her mom was getting worse by the minute. Her mom also knew about her disease. But she didn't care about it. Her all care was only for her little girl. She told Nora that she hadn't eaten anything the whole day. She asked her to take the money and buy herself something to eat; after all, it was Christmas! While her mom was saying this, she suddenly fell asleep. She was so scared and called her mommy. She was continuously asking her to wake up but she was in deep sleep. She remembered what the doctor said, "Only a miracle will help your mother." So, the little and innocent Nora decided to buy the miracle the doctor was talking about. She took all the money that was in the house. She went out. It was snowing heavily, but she wore little warm clothes. And because of her old boots, she stumbled and dropped all the money into the snow. She began to dig out coins with her bare hands. It was so cold that she could no longer feel her fingers, but she kept looking for the money to save her mother. After digging couple of minutes, finally, she found all of it. And then she somehow made it to the pharmacy. But the saleswoman was already closing to leave. Nora immediately started begging her for the miracle. The woman was rough-behaved. She said to Nora, "What nonsense are you talking, ragamuffin? Miracles don't exist, dummy! Go to her before she dies and don't bother me; I'm in a hurry to go home!" This evil saleswoman closed the pharmacy and left Nora to freeze on the street. She could not believe that her mom would not sing a lullaby for her ever again. Her legs could no longer carry her. She fell on the steps and started crying. People passed by and didn't even notice that sad little girl. They had no time for it and were busy preparing for the holidays. She thought about her mother if she was already in the next world with her dad. Suddenly, a strange man with glasses appeared in front of her. He told her that he had heard her talking to that woman. He asked her to tell him what had happened to her mother. She replied that her mom was very sick. She also said that the doctor said that only a miracle could save her. The man smiled and said that she was so lucky that she had met a real wizard. Nora lost all of her hopes and could not believe the man. She told him that he was lying; he was not a magician. She added that there was no miracle too. The man replied that miracle exists and happens only to those who never cease to believe in them. In a second, a hot bun appeared in his hands. He gave it to the girl and told her to take him to her mom and promised that he would help them. The next morning, the miracle happened! Nora's mom felt much better! The kind wizard admitted her into the hospital and turned out to be the chief doctor there. He didn't leave her mom until she got better. And suddenly, that evil doctor entered the ward. He saw Nora and her mom and immediately asked the chief doctor if he was wasting his precious time trying to save that beggar. He replied that he had helped a patient as a doctor would. Then he told the evil doctor to take off his robe and look for a new job. The doctor was so shocked and asked the chief where he would find a new job as that was the only hospital in the city. The chief smiled and said, "I hope a miracle helps you too!" By this time, Nora's mother gathered all of her strength to thank the kind doctor. But he refused it and said to her," Don't thank me, thank your little miracle, Nora!" Maybe there are no miracles at all, but a piece of something magical does exist in this world.

In revenge & in love, a woman is more barbaric than a man "Paul?!" Oh my God! What's going on here?", shocked Shelly asked her husband. She just returned from a vacation with her son and entered the house. She was in a fresh mind but when she discovered her husband lying with another girl, all of her freshness disappeared in a moment. "Son, don't look at dad!", she told her son. Her husband was like a shameless person. He acted as if nothing happened. He normally asked Shelly why she had returned from vacation so early. She replied that their son Sam broke his arm; they were trying to call him all day, but now she saw, apparently, he was too busy to pick up the phone. Her husband sent her son and her on vacation alone. He was a lawyer and said that he had an important case. She reminded him that saying it was his "important case"! But he replied that it was none of her business. He added that in fact, he was glad that she had found out about everything. He was sick of hiding with Gina in hotels for all of those years. "For years? What are you talking about?", said utterly surprised Shelly. Gina replied that they had been dating for three years and they were in love. She added that Paul even proposed to her and showed her the big diamond ring. Shocked by the betrayal, she could not say a word. However, she had no idea that the worst was yet to come! Sonn, her husband, a famous lawyer, filed for divorce. He knew loopholes in the law and so he took their house. It was so important for him because as it turned out, his mistress liked it a lot. After the divorce, Paul told Shelly that he and Gina were flying to the islands. He gave her a week to pack her things and get out of there. Gina also said that she could not wait to move into that cozy little house. She ordered Shelly to just clean it up first because she hate the mess. However, Shelly's house meant a lot to her. She decorated it herself and thought through every little detail. She looked at things and places. These all remembered her of the precious memory she had with her son. So, leaving the place was very painful for her. "No, I won't give up so easily!", she said herself. She also swore that Sam and she would live there again, not Paul and his mistress. So, she quickly came up with a plan while Sam was at school. She packed up all their stuff and had it removed. Then, she ordered delivery of something and started fighting for her house. Within 2 hours, she thoroughly cleaned every room and left. When Paul and Gina returned, at first, they enjoyed their life there. But soon, they started noticing an unpleasant smell. Paul asked Gina if something went bad in the refrigerator. She replied that it was empty. She reminded him that she could not cook. The smell was getting stronger every day. Paul and Gina tried to do everything possible to get rid of it. But they could not figure out where it was coming from. They ordered the maid to clean the whole house. They placed air fresheners everywhere. They even replaced the expensive flooring. But nothing helped - the stench only intensified. All of their friends refused to come to their house. They didn't have any friends anymore because of that damn smell. And soon, the maid could no longer stand the stench and quit. The delivery services also refused to go to their house. Gina was so irritated and told Paul that she could not take it anymore and it was like she was living in a dump! She clearly said to him, "Either we move or I'll leave you!" So, he had to borrow a large sum from the bank to buy a new house. And he put up the old one for sale. One month had passed, but a buyer could not be found. Everyone was scared off by the nasty, rotten smell. And consequently, Paul was forced to lower the price of the house every day. And when it cost as much as an old car, Shelly called her ex. She told him that she had heard he was selling the house. He replied that it was true and he really needed money. He added that he owed a lot to the bank, but nobody wanted to buy that damn house. "I do.", she replied. That week, she bought her house for a ridiculously low price. Paul and Gina acted like they had won the lottery. And behind Shelly's back, they said what a fool she was. However, she quickly said goodbye to them and Sam and she got down to business. They took down the curtain rods in each room. Previously, she had stuffed each of them with shrimps when leaving the house, and that's what caused the unbearable smell. And now, after replacing the old curtain rods in every room, she felt like the happiest person in the world. After all, she got back what was rightfully them. `So, remember, in love and in revenge, a woman is more barbaric than a man is.`

Be sure, people are not using you! Jane was 10 when her parents told her that her sister was adopted. Her father was a priest and one day, someone left a baby in front of his church. He took the baby in his lap and adopted it. He told Jane that they had to do everything to make sure she felt she belonged to their family. Since then, they always pitied the adopted girl. And they did everything she wanted. Even sometimes they did more for her than Jane. In fact, it was a common picture that Jane's favorite things were taken away by the girl. She mentally blackmailed everyone from that very little age. When Jane's father was dying, he extracted a promise from her. He asked her to swear she would always take care of her sister. Jane was so kind-hearted and she promised her father. After this many years passed and Jane got married to a rich person. Her sister had her own job and was settled. But a few years ago, her sister got very ill. She had her savings but Jane's husband agreed to pay for the treatment. It took a month to recover. But after having recovered her sister didn't hurry to look for work. She only sat on the TV and ate. If Jane asked her to get her job back, she blamed her as heartless. She showed excuses that she was very weak. Her sister demanded more and more and so Jane had to limit the expenses of her family to help her sister. But she could not cope with it. Her husband gave her money to buy food but many times the fridge was quite empty. He saw it and questioned her. Jane replied that she was sorry but her sister asked her for help. He could understand everything and said that her sister had recovered a long time ago; she was simply using her. He also told her that from that day on, he forbade her from helping her financially. When Jane told her sister that she could not help her more, she made a scene. She asked Jane if she called herself generous. She also said that she treated her that way because she was adopted. Jane tried to do as her husband said, but at that moment, she remembered the promise she made to her father many years ago. So, she decided to fool her husband to get money. She said to him, "Darling, I'm so tired! Can we hire a housekeeper?" Her husband was rather happy to hear this because he wanted her to feel good. But for a long time, Jane cleaned the house herself, washed clothes and dishes, and cooked for the family. But she took money from her husband as the housekeeper's salary. Then she gave that money to her sister. Days were going like this until Jane learned she was pregnant. Yet she continued working herslef. But with time, it got more difficult for her to clean the house. She was so tired and was not able to bear one more day like that. She told her sister everything, but she asked her if she had thought of her. Then she told Jane not to be so cruel. Jane kept quiet at this time too. But when the husband wanted to meet the housekeeper, for the exhausted Jane, it was the last straw. She was so stressed that she went into early labor. Jane got to the hospital and only a miracle saved her and her daughter's life. She was feeding her baby when her sister called her. She told Jane that she was so selfish. She said that she was looking for an actress, and she was just relaxing in the hospital. At that moment, Jane realized that her sister was just using her all that time. For the first time, she spoke up, "That's enough! You're selfish, not me! You're used to everyone indulging you, but that will stop!" And she ended the call. Jane understood her mistake. She decided to tell her husband the whole truth. She promised him that she would not do it anymore. The husband was not angry with her and forgave his kind-hearted wife immediately. Don't take advantages of a kind heart. You may never be offered one again.

Parents' success What do we mean by success? Do we mean financial success as the ultimate one? Maybe I have to ask don't we mean financial success as the ultimate one? In our era, it is sad but true that we mean it. People advise us to study, be something good in the profession and something like this. But they hardly advise us to be a good person. However, as a human beings, we have to cultivate the humanity inside us. That's what makes us successful in life. And when it comes to parents' success, it must be the success of their children. It is not like that they had admitted the children in the best schools, they are healthy, they became millionaire and etc. It is rather connected with the issue of growing humanity and kindness inside their children. Can you say when parents become happy? When they see that their children have been grown up decent. They are happy when they see their children help other people. And though it cost them, they would be happy to do and support their children. Here I want to mention a story that I recently learned. It's a story about parents who were tensed about their son's growing up. *So, the story began when the boy was in standard 4. His parents always wanted him to be generous and helpful to others. When he was a little boy, they wanted him to share his toys with other kids. And so he did.* *But suddenly the parents noticed food to be disappeared. They were very tensed when it happened regularly. They asked the boy if he was related to this. But he felt shy and denied it. The parents didn't tell him anything but they were tensed because they wanted their son to be a decent man.* *However, the issue became a matter of concern when they noticed that money was been lost too. This time they didn't ask the boy anything. They just followed him secretly when he went out.* *The mother was so worried about what she would see. She thought that their son had mixed with the bad boys. But when they reached, they were not expecting what they saw.* *The boy met with a street girl at his age and gave her money and food. The girl was shy to take it, but he said that she needed to eat and have some money. And that moment the parents went towards them. The boy was so shocked and thought that his parents were going to rebuke and scold him. So, he quickly said that he could explain.* *The mom smiled and said that they didn't need an explanation. Then they learned that the girl had a family, but her parents only cared about themselves. They never gave her food or clothes. Even sometimes her mom ordered her not to return home until the next evening because they would have guests. It was clear that they didn't need the girl and she started begging to live.* *The boy's parents were determined to eradicate her miseries. So, they adopted her. It was not difficult enough because the girl's parents already abandoned her. And thus their family got a decent son and a wonderful girl.* So, see we can make our parents proud with our small generous work. Believe me, they never ever go against you, rather they will always support you and will always stand by your side. And this is the ultimate success. So, don't miss the chance to make your parents successful!

Abandoned Ela was a little girl, maybe she was 8-9 years old when this happened. She lived with her mom and dad. They were generous to her and never made her feel she was in prison. I mean to say it was just like a normal happy family. But recently Ela made a friend. Every afternoon she went out to meet with him. So, when it was time, she went to her mom and took permission. Her mother never stopped her but told her to return before nightfall. She agreed and left. And her father never made any trouble. He only asked if she was again going out. She replied affirmatively and said that he was waiting for her. However, she continued going out and meeting her friend. With this, her returning late at home, made her parents conscious. One day her mom asked her if her friend lived so far from them. She replied that he was living four blocks away. Then her mom told her to ask him to come to their house. This should be normal. But Ela was nervous and sad. She told her mom that he was shy and didn't want to come. And this made her mom change her decision. She told that then she could not go to that boy. She condemned her daughter inside the house. Ela's father was also there and he tried to pacify his wife. He told her that she was being so rough with Ela. But she was angry and said that it was her final words. She could not allow Ela to have friendships with some randos. He asked her the reason but she simply replied with pride that it was because she was her daughter. Days passed and Ela could not meet her friend because she promised her parents. Then one day she told her parents that she would ask Alan to come to their house and he would have lunch with them. Her parents were finally satisfied, more specifically her mom. So, she went out and brought him to their house. When she reached with Alan, her parents went to the yard to welcome them. But they were stunned and froze for seconds when they discover black glasses on his eyes. Ela explained that he could not see, but it was not a big matter because he was so nice. Her dad was feeling pity for that boy, but her mom became so angry for some unknown reason. She insulted that little boy with bullshit words her family never heard. She then didn't welcome home anymore, she told him to get out immediately and never try to reach their girl. Everyone was shocked at her behavior but things happened as she wanted. Ela's dad could not understand the reason. He didn't know why she burst into anger seeing that weak boy instead of being kind. He didn't find anything wrong with it and tried to convince his wife. He told her that it was better because their daughter was raised like a generous person and that was important. But she was stone still on her words. And then suddenly he learned everything. That night she overheard his wife talking with his mother-in-law. She told her mom that it was such a co-incident that he came to their house. She also said that she has no grief that she left that weaker one in the hospital. He waited till she finished the call. And then he went to her for an explanation. She understood that it was out of the secret. So, she told him everything. She said that the day Ela was born, she actually had twin babies: one girl and one boy. But unfortunately, the boy was blind by born. So, she left that child and her mom took it to the orphanage. She just wanted her family not to be abnormal just with the boy. She dreamed of a happy family with no sickness and defect. But she didn't abandon him completely. She kept an eye on him from a distance. Hearing this, Ela's dad could understand that he could not live a single more day with this monster. He packed her clothes and filed for divorce instantly. It was complicated for Ela to understand everything, but her dad explained her. Then she asked if he wanted to say that Alan was her brother and her mom abandoned him. Though she lost her mom, she tried to act normal. In fact, everyone. But they were happy because finally the true blood relatives made a family and there was no judas. Alan was still dreaming. He could not believe that he had a family and a sister. Even he could not dream it. However, the family started to live happily even without a mother. And that mother who left her weakest child on the day of birth was living on the streets like a beggar.

Sometimes ending is the new beginning Grace and Nick were visiting north this year. That morning, they were in a cable car. But they were not enjoying a romantic time. Grace was mad with Nick. She told him to marry her or it was over between them. But Nick showed his logic. He said that marriage would destroy their love. He asked her why she could not understand. After marriage, they would have a daily routine and quarrels. Grace became angry and told him that he might haven't shown his wild oats yet. But Nick became angry this time. He told her that maybe she wanted to have a baby and ruin his life. Grace was so stunned and said that she was already pregnant. This could not make Nick happy. He became irritated instead and said that he had thought she just put on some weight. "What?!", said Grace. At this moment, the cable car cabin staggered sharply and wedding music started playing. Grace was so surprised and said, "Oh my God! Was it just a prank? Have you decided to propose?! I'll marry you!" But suddenly, a voice came from the next booth: *"I love you, dear. I want to have a family with you! I want to have children and make you happy! Will you marry me?", said the male voice.* *"Yes, yes!", replied his girl with heavenly happiness.* Grace started crying. The cabin car also was not moving due to the proposal. Nick could not take this all and suddenly knocked on the window and shouted, "Why do we have to wait?! I paid for my tickets too!" Grace replied that it was because there were still decent men in this world who are not afraid to take responsibility. "Gracie, I am only afraid of losing our love!", Nick said. But Grace replied that he had already lost it as she was leaving him. On edge, Nick hit the glass with his fist and it shattered into small pieces. Those pieces hurt Grace and she screamed in pain. She felt much pain inside her eyes. Nick could understand his fault. He told her to let him see it. But she stepped back abruptly and pressed herself against the broken glass. And then... Glass cracking and Grace falling... Everything happened in seconds. "Grace?", shouted the surprised Nick. He rushed to the broken window, but it was too late. She had fallen directly onto a frozen river from that great height. She broke through the main thin layer of ice and went underwater. Nick pressed himself against the window hoping that Grace would surface. But at that moment, the cable car started moving. Without hesitation, Nick jumped after Grace and landed on an ice block by the shore. He groaned in pain but gritted his teeth and started looking for Grace. "Grace, where are you?", said he. Suddenly, he felt a strange push from below. Grace looked at him from under that ice block! "God! Hold on!", Nick said to Grace though she could not hear. He crawled towards the hole with hellish pain and dove in. He felt like his whole body was pierced by thousands of needles. But he grabbed Grace's arm and pushed her up and out. But when he was about to get out, his hands seemed to have ceased to obey. Nick got halfway out and froze. "Get out, Darling! Hurry!", said the frightened Grace. She tried to help, but her frostbitten hands didn't work. "Give me a moment to rest! Just A moment!", said Nick. He wanted to say something more. But his voice turned to a whisper. So, Grace pressed her ear against him. She heard him saying, "We are having a baby..." Grace smiled. But within a moment, the ice cracked. And Nick started drowning. Grace reached out to him but suddenly felt someone grabbing her leg and pulling her away from the hole. THE RESCUE TEAM! rescue Grace silently prayed for Nick to be saved. In the meantime, Nick was rescued from the water and was examined by a doctor. After the primary examination, the doctor came to Grace and said that he was alive but very unstable. She understood the situation was not well enough but was not ready for any bad news. She went to Nick and took his hands. She cried: "Darling, wake up! I beg you! I need you..." Moments passed and suddenly she felt Nick squeeze her fingers. He then looked at her and smiled. He asked Gracie if she could forgive him. She cried and replied that of course, she could. She added that she would do whatever he asked. "Then be my wife...!", he said. "Of course!", replied she. `Can you say why do we only realize how much we love someone when we might lose them?`

Greed is a curse Dr. Jones was playing on his computer and suddenly a nurse rushed into his room. He was so annoyed and asked the nurse who was whining like a dog in the emergency room. She was so nervous and replied that a 17-year-old guy had come in after an accident. She added that he urgently needed the Dr.'s attention. But the doctor didn't shut down his computer and left his desk. He didn't act like a doctor and told the nurse to be quiet. He also asked her if she could not see he was playing. She tried to convince him saying that the patient was badly injured and screaming in pain! Then he asked her if his parents arrived yet. She replied that they had not come yet but they are trying to contact them. The nurse added that he was in a car with a friend who didn't survive. He seemed to start an argument. He said that they should not have raced on the streets at night. He was satisfied because the guys got what they deserved. The nurse was being restless. She asked the doctor if he would check that poor guy. Then he told the nurse to call him when his parents arrived because he needed confirmation that they would pay for their son. "I like to get money in advance.", he said. The nurse left, and Dr. Jones calmly continued playing solitaire on the computer. More than anything, he loved that game and money which he never had enough of. He told people at the door of the surgery room how much he valued the health of their relatives. In desperation, people paid as much as he asked. And soon, his greed drove him to the point where he would not ever examine a patient for free. Before he had finished playing, the nurse again came in and said that the boy's condition was getting worse by the second. She madly told the doctor that he was in a lot of pain. Without taking his eyes off the computer, Dr. Jones asked if his parents had arrived. The nurse replied that they had not come yet. But his mom is on her way, and they could not get his father on the phone. He told the nurse to call him when his mother got there. And in the meantime, he would finish playing solitaire. But the nurse wanted to save the boy. She desperately told the doctor that it looked like the guy had internal bleeding. She requested him to look at him for a minute. "What are you? A doctor, to diagnose him?", said the Dr to the nurse. Then ordered her to inform him when his mother came with money. And then he told the nurse to get out. The nurse sighed heavily and left. And Dr. Jones, dancing to the song on the radio, made himself a cup of tea, and smiling, counted out the amount of the bribes he had received for that night's shift. Then he made himself comfortable in his chair and continued playing his favorite game. A few minutes later, he heard a woman crying loudly in the corridor. It made the Dr. annoyed because the sound of crying was approaching his door. He knew he could not finish his game, so became angry. Suddenly the office door opened, and the doctor froze in surprise. Because standing on the doorstep in tears was his wife, Mary! He was shocked and asked her what she was doing there. He also asked her why she was crying. But she was not in a condition to reply. She somehow said, "Robbie... Our Robbie..." Dr. Jones frantically searched for his phone to call his son and ask him what he was doing because his wife was hysterical and could not explain. But he found that his phone's battery was completely empty. He ran terrified into the waiting room, and when he looked at the boy on the couch, he recognized him as his son, Robbie. In a panic, he checked his pulse, but there was none. Then he frantically started compressing his heart. But the nurse stopped him, saying: "Dr. Jones, it's too late. His heart stopped three minutes ago because you didn't help him in time..." The doctor looked at his son's lifeless body and cried bitterly. He cursed himself and his greed, which had blinded his eyes and killed his innocent, only child. *All images from* *pexels**.* https://www.pexels.com/

Happy Marriage It was morning. The wedding salon just opened and the clients started to arrive. The staffs are busy with them. And suddenly, a little girl walked in there. She had a garment bag in her hand. One of the staff came to assist her. That girl named Mira asked the staff who ran that place. The staff didn't reply to her this question, she rather asked the girl what she wanted. She took out a wedding dress from the garment bag. She said that she would like to return it. "This dress?", said the staff "Such items, especially old ones, can't be returned or exchanged." Hearing this, the girl became so sad and said that she really needed to. She requested that it was very important to return. However, the staff could not help her more. The conversation was about to finish. But the owner of the salon heard the commotion and approached them. She asked what was going on there. Mira replied that she wanted to return the dress. The owner saw the dress and was sad because they could not take it to return. However, she asked the girl where she had even got it. The girl replied that it belonged to her mom. Then she requested the owner to help her. The girl's request seemed strange to the owner but she decided to hear her out. She took the garments bag in her hand and asked Mira to go with her. She asked her to tell her what had happened and then they would come up with something. They went to the owner's office room and she requested Mira to take a seat. Then she started saying: *She was walking in the park the last afternoon and overheard two old ladies' conversation:* *- My niece divorced her husband! Because of that dress!* *- What was wrong with the dress?* *- She sold it!* *- So what?* *- Don't you know? It's a well-known superstition! If you sell your wedding dress, your marriage is ruined!* "So, you decided to return the dress to ruin your mom's marriage?", said the salon owner "With your stepdad?" "No... with my dad!", replied the innocent little child. She also told the owner that her mom and dad were fighting all the time and she could not take it anymore. They both blamed each other because they had been married. Her father was sick of her mom. They fought too much and became bored. Their last saying is always why they had married each other and used to regret it. And they forget that they had a daughter who witnessed everything. They never cared about the little girl. Mira could not hold back her tears and told the owner that she loved them both, but wanted them to get a divorce! It was because she wanted them to be happy separately from each other. And to stop tormenting her... The woman was touched by the girl's words. She thought that she should talk to her mom. So, she decided and the girl took her to her house. Her mom opened the door and was stunned to see this lady with her daughter. She was happy and asked her what brought her there. They sat in the living room and Mira went to her room. The owner told Mira's mother what had happened in her wedding salon. Mira's mom's eyes filled with water. She replied that it was true. Their marriage was on the rocks. The owner suggested her get a divorce or stop fighting and stop tormenting their child. That talk led the girl's mom to have a conversation with her husband. She told him that their daughter went to a wedding salon that day. At first, he was so angry and asked why she went there. But when he heard what had happened, he felt terribly ashamed. "Our poor girl... It's our fault!", he said "We are so consumed by constant fights that we forgot about her!" And after this everything gradually everything became normal. They resolved to make things right. One evening, Mira was eating in the kitchen and her mom was cooking. And that moment her dad returned from work with a flower bouquet. Her mom became so happy and could not imagine he could give her flowers. And this was not all, her husband invited her on a date that night. The couple made effort to listen to each other. They did the small tasks that their partner liked but was about to forget. And their feelings for each other reignited. Now Mira says, "Mom, Dad! You look so happy! Now I am happy too!" Thanks to their daughter, they fell in love again...And promised each other to always show their daughter an example of a happy marriage. Children are happy when their parents are happy with each other! Keep that in mind!

Pressure in life: positive or negative? Hello guys, How's everything going? I wish so that you all are out of pressure. But to be very honest, I won't find lots of people who don't have any pressure. I think the number is quite a few. Pressure or stress whatever we say is a feeling. It is a form of emotional or physical tension. So, when does it arise? When we feel frustrated, or think something is going to be a burden for us, but anyhow we have to do it, we feel pressure. It can arise by opposing something that we hate but have to complete within a deadline or have to endure till a certain period of time. Most of the time, this pressure is normal. But when we have an acute feeling, it can be dangerous. And being under pressure every day can lead us to a shorter life. Moreover, this life is not joyful at all. And here the meaning of life vanishes. We never want an unhappy, joyless, and shorter life. Every person wants to live a full life. But the fact pressure promises not to leave us alone. So, what do we do? Should we cut the head because it has pain? Not at all. We have to find out a solution to how the pain can be removed. For small reasons we never want to lose the big deals. So, since pressure is a part and parcel of our life, we have to find out the solution to live with it. We should live like we are not under pressure, rather the pressure is under us! And here your joyful life will start... And think deeply, why this pressure? Take it positively. Because this pressure is the thing that turns a coal piece into a diamond piece. Think that you are a lump of coal now, and after performing some tasks, you would be a diamond. A better version of you would come out. Don't you want to see that diamond version of yourself?? And one more thing to be added: don't ever rush in your life. You are not a master of everything that a rush in work will present you with a perfect result. So, work, take the pressure and continue. Because the entire process for a lump of coal to turn into a diamond takes **between 1 billion and 3.3 billion years.** So, what's your problem to wait for a single year?? Continue encouraging yourself! Sometimes we feel pressure because we think we are not capable of this. Encourage yourself and think that there is no pressure. Believe me, it will help you to feel relaxed. And when you will be relaxed and think in a pacified mind, you'll easily figure out a way. So, my suggestion is never to think you can't, never think about failure; just imagine you're on the top of success. And thus you'll feel less pressure. If you think that you can't do the work, or you are not capable of doing this, you're not under pressure in actuality. Because it's your fear! These two things are so close that most often we mix them up. If you can't do, and so don't want to do is your fear. You have to come up and learn how to do it. Take help from others and learn. And thus your fear will be gone and then if you don't love your work, you'll feel pressure. So, please never stop learning. Never feel shy to ask people to teach you. And always love your work. Every person is always under pressure. Some will complain about it and some won't. Looking at some people's face, you see their pressure and some people won't have any reaction. They lead a normal life. You will see the first category to complain every time and waste their time. You'll hardly see them to work for their dream. But for the second category, they are still under pressure, but won't express it and will do their works properly. They learn, they teach, they are happy and healthy. It is the kind of friction that will polish him and refine them to be great and successful persons. The choice is yours: Take the pressure, work hard and be happy or complain about life and be unhappy.

Even the closest person can be a traitor "Son, where did you get those bruises?", Emily asked her little son Sammy pointing to his hands. Sammy's eyes filled with tears, but he didn't reply. But suddenly he whispered, "Mommy, you are passing away soon..." Emily was so astonished hearing this. She said, "What? No, honey!". She thought for a while and asked him why he was thinking so. But still, the boy said nothing. She was getting tensed and again said, "Is someone hurting you?" And she noticed that Sammy's eyes began to dart with fright as if there was some danger nearby. She thought something was going wrong with the boy. So, alarmed Emmy came to see the teacher. She told the teacher that someone had hit her son. But the teacher completely denied it. She told Emmy that it was impossible because all the kids love Sammy. "Then where are these bruises from?", said Emmy. The teacher replied that maybe he just hurt himself on the playground. She then assured the mom that she would keep an eye on him. But however, the mother had a strange feeling of disaster coming. She felt as if something terrible was about to happen. After this, Sammy could not sleep at night normally. Suddenly, he started screaming in his sleep. Emmy could not handle this all alone. So, she wanted to share it with her husband. So, when her husband returned from the night shift, she told him everything. But he completely ignored it and said that he was a boy and forbade her to be dramatic. He added that maybe he got into a fight with someone and didn't want to tell her. Then he suggested that she need not to be worried about some bruises. However, Emmy's anxiety was increasing. Later when she took her son to the daycare, he abruptly grabbed her hand. He said to her, "Are you going to pass away today?" "God, baby, no! I won't leave you...", said Emmy and hugged her son. And suddenly she turned her attention to her smartwatch. She gave it to him and told him that from then on they will always be in touch. "You have the watch and I have my phone.", said Emmy. The boy nodded and hugged his mom with all his might. He became happy and smiled for the first time in the week. But Emmy could not help thinking about him all day. In the evening, when she came to pick up her son, she was petrified. There was no trace of bruises left on the boy's body. The teacher came to her with Sammy and said, "Ma'am, I noticed bruises on your son's body yesterday, but today, someone covered them up... as if trying to hide them." Emmy was so confused and asked the teacher who could have done it. The teacher pointer to her and said, "I think you did..." They didn't listen to Emmy and soon handcuffs snapped on Emmy's wrists. But she tried to say, "What does all of this mean? I don't understand..." The police officer replied that she was accused of hurting her son. Emmy's trial took place pretty quickly. The teacher was the first one to speak. She said that she had realized that someone was causing pain to the boy, but his mother said he fell. Emmy was shocked by what she said. She asked her why she was lying. She also said that everything was the other way around. The judge told Emmy to keep quiet and invited her husband. Emmy breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly... Her husband said that she was talking nonsense that he was fighting with boys at the daycare and he believed her. But the truth was different as the teacher said. Emmy was distraught. It all seemed like a bad dream to her. But suddenly, the judge called her son and said, "Who's hurting you, baby? Just point your finger at them." Everyone in the hall gasped and the crying boy pointed to his mother. Everything was seemed to be clear to the judge and he asked Emmy if she had anything else to say. Shocked Emmy fell silent and didn't know what to do. She lowered her head and began to pray. And then she remembered about the smartwatch her son was wearing. She told the judge about the smartwatch that it had a voice recorder! She requested him to listen to it. She hoped that there was something there. The judge ordered the court to comply with Emmy's request. On the recording, everyone heard the voice of Sammy's father "You have to say that your mom is hurting you. Otherwise, she will pass away! okay?" "Yes", frightened Sammy said. And then there was another familiar voice, saying, "Now I will be your new mom, Sammy." It was the teacher! It turned out that Emmy's husband didn't want to divorce her and lose half of their property. So, together with his lover, they decided to get rid of Emmy. He and the teacher were arrested immediately and Emmy and her son were finally safe! `Sometimes even the closest person can be a traitor, but with all your strength, you can handle it.`

Horror story review Hi! Yesterday I was decorating my room. I was doing it alone and there was no one in my room. So, to spend some quality time, I searched "Mirchi Bangla" on YouTube. It's a radio and they upload their beautiful contents on their YouTube channel. I love the way of presenting their stories. So, I was going through their playlist and found a playlist named "Sunday Suspense Originals". I thought it would be some rich stories. So, I played it. But the story was horror! No matter, it was daytime and there was enough light inside my room. So, instead of being alone in my room, I dared to listen to it. (Normally I don't listen to horror at night) The name of the story was "Pochish Bawchor Pawre" written by Sayak Aman. I have never read or listened to any of his stories. However, the English translation of the story is "After 25 years". **The story in short:** Inspector Shishir Sonyal appointed Ritu as a governess in Mallik House. After one week of this, one night at 2:30 am he got a phone call from her. She was so afraid and could not talk. However, she managed to say Jasodha Mallik has returned and will kill everybody. Hearing this, inspector Shishir went to the house. He was confused whether Ritu saw something that could harm her, or she had some mental disorder. Because Jasodha Mallik died 25 years ago! When he reached the house, every neighborhood was sleeping and the house was so calm. He looked right and saw the stairs. He was about to step up when he saw Jasodha Mallik's mother having a big knife scar on her face. He also saw Ritu holding the knife. So, it was quite clear that Ritu had hurt Mrs. Mallik. When they reached the first floor, they saw Paritosh Mallik (brother of Jasodha Mallik). He was hurt too. And besides this, he was getting a bad smell coming from the front door. He opened it and then found another door at the backside. When he stepped down, the smell was getting intense. So, without any hesitation, he opened the door, spotted his torch, and he was stunned. There he could see something like a broken skeleton covered with human skin but it can move, not eaten food, and droppings. By this time, Paritosh Mallik reached there. He was looking so guilty. The inspector looked at him with many questions. And he replied that: This skeleton-shaped strange thing is his sister Jasodha Mallik who was reported to be murdered 25 years ago. She fell in love with a young lawyer there but her mother didn't allow it. But Jasodha Mallik could not forget him and was about to marry him. So, her mother locked her into that backside room and spotted the thing like murder. She had lots of connections and so it was not so hard for her to make the police stop investigation. Paritosh Mallik knew everything, but could not tell anyone about this because he was afraid of his mother. Once a month, he went to that room and cleaned everything. He wished one day he would go to that room and find out her sister had died. But no one knew how she was alive in that hell for 25 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix9y3MFnm20 `I have attached the story here. If you know Bengali, you can listen to it.` Though the story was presented as a horror story, listening to the final words, I would rather say it as a mysterious story. However, I loved the story and so shared it with you. Hope if you listen to it, you'll also love it. Love for you all Thank you

Day started with a mistake Hey! This is me, your favorite @Kitki 😅. Hope you are well and Omicron has not touched you. 😊 But I am not so good today. There are a lot of uncertainties here. I live in my University accommodation because my hometown is far from here. However, the new Omicron is showing up here and our University has started online classes. That's good. But online exams! Oh no! again! It seems that the University will close soon. Then we have to leave the hall (as far I know). But the problem is the transport owners and laborers are having strikes in different districts. So, it's quite uncertain how to leave the hall, how to reach home.😓 Besides, I don't want to have online exams. I think we are not evaluated perfectly in this procedure. 😐 Still, today we have an online exam. It was scheduled to start at 11:30 am (though it's 11:37 am now). 😪 Joining the zoom, I am writing this. Today I forgot to set alarm, and in the morning when I was sleeping I thought it was just 8:00 am. I didn't see the time and continued sleeping. 🙄 And the result is: I woke up at 10:30 am and I missed the breakfast! (Here the breakfast time is 8:00 am - 10:00 am) So, now I am getting a free sound effect inside my belly. 🥵 I can't be hungry till 1:00 pm. So, after the exam, I am going to the store to have some bread and coke. Oh, wait! it's 11:45. My exam should start now! **While waiting, please watch this and pray for me so that I need not act like Mr. Bean!** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LhLjpsstPY Oh, guys! Sorry, Sorry 🙁 Our teacher is in the meeting! And we don't know when it will end and he will start the exam. The exam is only for 10 minutes. So, we don't move anywhere until it's done. 😐 (My stomach!!!😓) Today I wanted to cook. But guess what, tomorrow I have another exam and I can't waste my time. (Good food is nowhere😪) However, guys, I could not ignore my stomach and took a break for 5 minutes. I rushed to the store and bought a choco-vanilla bun and a coke. Not tasty enough, but I am eating it like a shark!😅 I thought to continue till the exam starts. But it seems that it won't start today😪 So, goodbye dear. I am gonna take preparation for tomorrow's 😊

By not being indifferent, you might suddenly find happiness Mike worked as an American border guard. He was honest and did his duty properly. One night he and one of his colleagues were walking at night. They were moving towards the border area. It was a dark night but they had a torch in their hands. So, it helped them see a cage in a distance. "Oh my God! Someone left a child in a cage!", said Mike. The boy was so angry and looked unsocial. So Mike's colleague said that it seemed as though he had spent his whole life in there. The boy huddled in the corner of the cage and growled like a frightened animal. Mike said, "Who would leave a caged child on the border of two countries? And why?" His colleague suggested him that they should push it away from their side and it would not be their headache anymore. Mike was stunned and asked him what he was talking about. He exclaimed that it was a child. Then he turned towards the boy and asked him who had done that to him. While he was stepping down towards the cage, he thought that the child had to be urgently taken to a doctor. Mike wanted to open the cage to get the boy out, but he only grinned and growled. So, he covered the cage with his jacket and took him to a medical center. When the doctor learned everything, he was so bored and asked Mike what he needed that boy for. He suggested him to put that *Mowgli* back where he had found him, and that was it! Mike was trying his best to hold back his tears. None of his colleagues knew that his son disappeared 10 years ago. His marriage broke up because of this, but he still felt guilty for not saving his son. However, the doctor was so bored at Mike's meaningless deed. He clearly told him that the boy was wild and he would never be socialized. And finally, he would go to a psychiatric clinic. The boy was out of the cage and at that moment, he angrily dug into the doctor's hand. He restlessly said, "Ahhh, what did I say?!" Mike pulled the boy away. He thought he would lock him in the cage and take him back. He did so, locked the boy in the cage, and start driving. In the car, the boy rushed from side to side and screamed like an angry chimpanzee. But Mike didn't take him back to the border, he brought him home instead. He quietly brought the cage into his house, opened it, and walked away. He told the boy that he looked so much like his son. A tear ran down his cheek and again told him not to be afraid of him. He also said that he would teach him everything and take him to doctors so that no one would lock him in a madhouse. At that moment, the grin suddenly disappeared. The boy straightened up and looked at Mike differently. He said, "Thanks" Mike was so surprised that he could speak. The boy said that his mom came up with a plan - to pass him off as "Mowgli". She hoped the American border guards would pick him up, and so it had happened. Mike became irritated and said, "So you tricked me?" The boy came to him and cried. He politely said that his father and two sisters were missing. Their city was drowning in poverty and crime. His mom and he tried to cross the border legally, but they didn't let them. He requested Mike to understand him because he just wanted to live. Mike never broke the law in his life. But this time he realized that he had to save the boy. It's been about a year since Mike adopted the boy "Paco", and they became a real family. The boy often came to his office. One day, he came in and was shocked. Near the border, he saw a lady and said, "Mom, Mom!". Paco wanted to run to his mother, but Mike grabbed his arm. He requested Mike to let him go to his mother. But he roughly ordered him that he had to stay there. Paco's eyes filled with tears and said to Mike that he didn't own him and he wanted to see his mom. But Mike locked the crying Paco in his office and left. The boy screamed with all his might, but no one heard him. He continuously tried to open the door, and soon the door opened itself. His mom and Mike were standing in front of him. Both blood relatives cried with happiness. Mike took them to his home and explained that if his colleagues find out she was his mother, they both would be detained immediately. Paco came and hugged Mike. He said that he was sorry he doubted him. When Paco's mom found out what happened, she fell to her knee and began to thank Mike. He said that Paco was his son and lived in his house. The lady asked him to permit her to come once in a while to see her son. "Nonsense!", Mike said. "My son's home is your home! Welcome!" Unexpectedly, Jack got a new family. After all, good always begets good! `By not being indifferent, you might suddenly find happiness.`

They became a family once again Little girl Liv has always been a girl with a big heart. She helped the poor and sick and did her best to make their condition better. A sick animal of the roadside also was not out of her kindness. But her mother did not warmly welcome her deeds. One afternoon, Liv went outside and bought a sick puppy inside the house. When her mom noticed that she was so angry and forbid her to tell her she had sneaked another puppy home. Liv was so shocked and asked her mom how she could leave a sick little puppy on the street. Though her mom didn't like this kind of work, Liv continued doing those and now she has become a happy young girl. She has always given the last thing she had to those in need. She often noticed a simple elderly lady by her office. That day she saw her for one more time. The lady never begged. She was trying to earn money by selling her handmade dolls. But people are often cruel to those who are in need. That day a little girl and her mom were passing the lady when the girl stopped and asked her mom to buy her a doll. But she got angry and told her daughter that they didn't need junk in their house. She clearly said that she was not paying for garbage and they left. Liv felt sorry for the poor lady and went to her. She took a doll and told her that she would like to buy that one. The girl thought she had done a good thing, and showed her mother that doll in the tea time. But her mother was stunned seeing the doll and asked her where she had got that. Liv replied that she had bought it from a poor old lady, she needed the money and she decided to help. She added that the doll was cute too. But her mother was not listening to her and was angry like before. She ordered her to get rid of that right then and forbade her to go near that woman ever. Liv was trying to explain but her mom was not in that mood to change her decision. She was so shocked and went to bed early. She put the doll beside her and for the first time in her life, she decided to disobey her mother. She thought her mom had never been superstitious and her behavior was strange.

She went to the old lady and told her that it was going to sound strange, but if she knew that woman in the photograph. Liv was deeply surprised when the lady started to cry bitterly. She asked Liv where she had got that picture. She replied that she was her mother. She also asked her if they two had met ever. The old lady didn't stop crying and replied that she was her daughter and they had not seen her for 20 years. "Grandmother?", Liv said. She also said that her mom told her that she was an orphan. The lady replied that she actually deserved it. She started telling her story... Liv's mother was 17 when she told her that she was pregnant. Her step-father made an ultimatum either she got rid of the baby or would leave. He was so angry and told her that he was not letting her disgrace the family. Her mother also supported her stepdad and said that it was his house so he would decide what to do. Liv's mother asked her grandmother to leave together but didn't choose her daughter that day. Liv's mother became so angry and told her granny that she didn't exist for her anymore. Years had gone by and the husband kicked Liv's grandmother out since he had found a younger wife. He told her granny, "Get out of my house, I am tired of you!". So, she ended up on the street being an elderly lady. And when Liv's mother was a little girl, she used to make them of her. She continued saying that she was so sorry for betraying her daughter. Liv could not leave her own grandmother to live in poverty. So she brought her to their house. But her mother was mad when she saw her mother. She asked Liv what she was doing there. The old lady was so ashamed but tried to talk. Liv also requested her mother so that she just talk to her because she needed to hear her out. That night many tears were shed, but yet the women made peace. The grandmother told her mother that she was so sorry. "Me too, mom..." This was how Liv changed her life as well by doing good deeds. One afternoon the family was sitting together and her grandmother showed an old picture of a baby. She told Liv that it was her mother when she was a newborn baby. Liv's mom was so surprised and said that she could not believe that she kept those old pictures. "Of course I do, honey...", said Liv's old granny.

Christmas gift! "You, filthy wretch!"  Claire was cleaning the floor and crying. But her stepfather did not calm down.  "Clean up, or you'll spend Christmas in a dump! I'm not your loving daddy who disappeared in the war. And if I want, you'll be out of here at the speed of sound!"  Claire could not take this anymore and ran towards her room hoping to be alone. But her stepbrother was waiting for her with his surprise there. He held a kitchen knife with one hand and her only stuffed toy friend in another. She got tense and asked him what he was going to do. He replied that his daddy had told him that it would be fun to cut her only toy because no one else would give her another one! She was so shocked and begged him to give it back. She also told him that it was her dad's last gift. But Chuck didn't listen to her and with a strange smile, he cut open Mr. Scramble's stomach. And his stuffing scattered all over the room. He threw the toy and went away. In utter despair, Claire took the toy and ran to her mom's room.  "Mommy, mommy!" "Daughter, why are you crying?" "Chuck cut and open my toy and Ben...I can no longer live in the same house with my stepfather and brother. They hate me for existing" "Don't worry! I'll talk to Ben now." Earlier, when her stepfather crossed the line, her mom talked to him and he apologized. And so she was hoping that it would be the same that time. So, when her mom said that she had great news, she was literally surprised! She said that they had decided to give her to a foster family.  "What?" "Dear, I love you, but I'm sick of standing between you and Ben. A foster mom will take better care of you than a real one who doesn't need you anymore..." Claire was so shocked and couldn't stay in that house one more day. So, on a December night, she took her special box, a photo of her father, got dressed, and went down the street. She immediately felt cold because she didn't have any winter clothes. Nobody spent extra money on her. The only thing that kept her warm was her box. She kept her letters for Santa in it. In each letter, she asked for only one thing: she wanted Santa to find and return her daddy to her.  And when she needed a miracle the most, Santa appeared in front of her. He took her in his arms and asked why she was crying. The sad Claire told him everything...about her stepfather, mom, mom, and how much she had missed her dad.  She suddenly noticed a year on Santa's cheek. He said to her, "Claire, I'm not a real Santa. I am your FATHER." Claire could not believe her ears but cried with happiness when Santa took off his beard and her father appeared in front of her.  He said to her that there were so many things he wanted to tell her. "But first..." Her daddy brought her home in his arms and her bullies lined up in front of him.  Her mom was shocked and said to her dad, "Jack! You, how, I, this..."  "Shut up!", Her dad said. "I can't blame you for finding someone else! After all, he was held captive for many years!"  Ben could not understand anything and asked her mom, "Who is this moron?"  "Did I let you speak?", said her daddy, "But what you did to Claire?" He asked his ex-wife, "Do you remember whose house this is, Christina? Tomorrow morning, you'll pack your stuff and disappear from our lives! Claire and I will live here happily!" `Life often sends more difficulties than miracles, but more miracles happen to those who believe in them.`

Be proud of what makes you special Sandra wasn't an ordinary student. Even it was not winter, she always had gloves on, even during classes. Her teachers were annoyed with it and so they often told her that it was impolite to wear gloves in the lecture hall. They ordered her to take them off immediately. But Sandra never took them off. She replied politely that she was sorry because she was always cold. So, she could not take them off. Rumors were spreading around the college, and she became upset. But she didn't care about them at all. She made herself understand that she should not care what they said. She became all alone in the class. But a few months later, she fell in love with one of her classmates. He asked her maybe they could go out that night. She was so happy and excited. And that same night they met. He courted her beautifully, but she always chooses strange places to go on dates. She suggested him sit on the terrace. But he replied that she was always cold. However, when she said that she liked fresh air, he agreed with her. When they sat on the terrace, he asked her to take off her gloves. He added that he wanted to hold her hands. But that night she just ignored it. After a month of dating, Sandra invited her boyfriend to her house. She told her that she trusted him and that's why she could finally show him. She told him that she had asked her to take off her gloves. So, she took off and asked him to look. With his utter surprise, he saw that Sandra had a prosthetic arm. He was so shocked and asked her what was that. She replied that that was why she didn't show her arms. She also told him that she hoped that could stay between them. But the boy wasn't honest. The next day when Sandra came to classes, everyone already came to know about her secret. 'Hey, cyborg! Take off your gloves!', 'There's nothing to hide anymore!', and many more talks and laughs. She was so shocked and started crying. They still laughed and asked her why she had not told them she was the *ironwoman* because they would have asked for her autograph. She could not take this anymore and run out of the building in tears. She returned home and thought about how he could do that to her when she had trusted him. That evening she got a visit from a girl from her class. It was Marry. She asked Sandra if she could go in because she wanted to support her. She allowed Marry to go in. They were having tea and she told Sandra some more shocking news. She said that she hated to say that, but that day she learned that Sandra's ex-boyfriend's friends dared him to date her just to find out why she always wore those gloves. Sandra felt even more hurt. She also became angry. She told Marry that she didn't want to see him again and didn't want to see any of them. She stopped going to classes and was talking only to Marry. But Marry didn't let her continue this. She told her that she could not drop out because of them and they were not worth it. The girls became close friends. One day, Marry asked Sandra about her prosthesis. She asked how that all happened. She replied that when she was only 11, she went outside and saw their neighbors' son playing by the road. He was just a toddler. He got carried away playing and ended up on the road. But then a car was running towards him. Sandra became so shocked and ran to save the boy. He was finally saved, but she lost her arm. Marry was amazed and shocked by the story. She exclaimed that Sandra was a hero. She told her story to everyone in the college. So, when Sandra returned to classes, she was a hero in every student's eyes. They told her that she was a very strong girl. Sandra asked Marry why she told everyone about that. She replied that they needed to know and now everyone there was proud of her. And the group that humiliated Sandra turned into outcasts. Her true friends helped her realize that her prosthesis was nothing to be ashamed of. It was rather a reminder of her kind heart. `Your differences don't make you inferior to others. Be proud of what makes you special.`

Be kind Chuck was a one-handed man. He was not this by born. In fact, he was so heroic in his life and that heroism made his fate like this. He is still a fighter and trying to move forward in his life. He used to live in a group house. Though he had only one arm, he was not idle. He cooked there and earned money through this. He was facing problems continuously. But his fellow workers helped him a lot. Everything was going well until the day the group home closed. Chuck woke up that morning and went to the kitchen. But he found out that all of his fellow workers were standing in a queue there. He thought it was not the salary giving day and everyone was not happy or talking. They all looked sad. He went to them and they hugged him, they could not but cry. When Chuck came to learn everything, he took his staff and saved money, and went out alone in search of an unknown future. He walked and then got on a bus. His purpose was to go to the central town. When he reached there it was noon and a perfect time for having lunch. He went to a nearby restaurant. He himself had never eaten in a restaurant. But on the arrival day, he could not but try to treat himself. He actually wanted not to be sad. When he was eating, he saw the owner of the restaurant. He knew her! He rushed towards her to talk. He was sure she could offer him a job. He was so optimistic but the owner had no sign that would prove she knew him. Moreover, she laughed at him as he wanted to work as a waiter there with only one hand. She rebuked him but give him a tough chance. She told him to clean three tables in just 2 minutes. She started counting time. Chuck went to the tables but thought that even if he had two hands, it was tough for him to perform the work. However, he tried his best. And when he completed one table, he took the plates and was rushing towards the second table. But alas! He could not grab the plates carefully and they fell down. The owner laughed at him because the time had already finished. She did not offer him a job; instead, she snatched all of his last money as the payment of the broken plates. Chuck only asked her if she could not remember him. But she already had left. He had no money, no place. He made his hut from the paper on the roadside. Within a few days, he managed to get a job at a car washing company. It was not too much for his weak body. He could not eat enough, and also could not take medicines. As a result, one day while washing a car, he fainted in front of a luxurious car. The owner came to him and could recognize him. She was surprised to see the man who saved her. Yes, Chuck was that man who saved her from a fire and lost his hand. She tried to do something for him and so took him to her home. When Chuck opened his eyes, he saw the restaurant owner beside him! When she noticed that he was on his sense, she took his hands and thanked him. She told him that her sister could recognize him. He was that person who saved her sister's life. She also told that they had looked for him but everything went in vain. He replied that he was not in town because the authority had sent him to another town for rehabilitation. As a gift of saving her sister's life, the owner of the restaurant gave him a job offer. She made him his manager. And yes, Chuck proved himself and became the best manager. The owner also had learned many things while being with him. Now, she arranges a food festival for the poor people every week. Moreover, in a day 5 hungry people are fed free in her restaurant, and many more. Hope you have enjoyed my story. Be safe :) From @Kitki

Those who create their own drama, deserve their own karma Kira was in love with Steve though she was married and had a son. They had a tree house in their house and he used to live there. And whenever her husband was not home, he came down and date with Kira. One day, her husband and son went out for shopping. She stayed at home showing that she was sick. When they left, she and Steve met. They continued it because her husband, Ben needed time to come back. But making them shocked they came back early. She could feel that they had came so early and told Steve to climb through the window and hide in the treehouse. He was so nervous but did it soon. And within two minutes her husband came to the upstair and told that they were home. She didn't see their son so asked about him. Ben replied that Josh had climbed up to play in the treehouse. She got scared and looked outside of the window. Josh was climbing up and was already very close to the top. And then Kira's frightened lover noticed him. Not to be caught, he pushed the stairs away. But while falling, the boy managed to look into his face. Kira and her husband ran towards there. He was senseless and they called the ambulance. And Steve didn't miss the chance to get out of there when the couple were running towards them. Josh woke up only when the ambulance arrived. But he didn't remember anything due to his severe head injury. Kira knew everything but she created a scene. She told her husband that it was Ben's fault. He promised to fix the stairs but no, he was always away on business trips. Adn there was no man in that house to do anything. Ben was ashamed but told her that she kept demanding more money from him. He did everything so that she wanted for nothing. Kira got angry and forbade him to make excuses. She told him to look where that had led them. Ben adored Josh and he felt guilty while his wife was only worried about her lover. She knew it was his fault that her son fell. So, she decided to trick her husband. When they took Josh home, Kira brought her lover there and told her husband that he was their son's new babysitter. Ben asked her if she had hired a man. She replied that he was leaving on a business trip for a month and Steve was also a rehabiliatation therapist. And so he would help their son to recover. She also told him that Josh needed an example of a man in the house. Ben's son's health came first for him. So, he smiled and accepted it. At the same evening, suspecting nothing, he let the villain into his house. After he had left, they were still standing in the yard. Steve told Kira what if Josh memory cam back. He added that he had seen him in the treehouse that day. Kira replied in a cold voice that they would make him forget everything again. She added that she would do anything for the sake of thier love. Ben left, but suddenly he had a strange feeling of anxiety. He had a bad dream at night that the lifeless bodies of his wife and nanny laid in their garden. And frightened Josh stood over them in tears and shouted loudly "Daddy" "Daddy" Daddy". Ben woke up in a cold sweat. He took phone and called his wife at the middle of night. But she didn't answer the phone call. The feeling that his son was in trouble never left him and he could not sleep rest of that night. He called her nearly 50 times but she didn't reply. He was afraid and thought that something bad might had happened to his family. So, he took the first flight home. It was early morning when he reached home. There he found his frightened son only in pajamas in the yard. The boy rushed to hug his dad and told him that he had not gotten into the house since last evening. The door was closed and his mom was not answering. An alarmed Ben opened the dorr with his keys. He found his wife's phone was lying on the table on mute. Looking for Kira, Ben went up to the bedroom and was shocked. His drunk wife was helping Steve get out of the window. In a moment he got everything and told his wife that she needed that nanny, not their son actually. She replied that it didn't matter because he was on his business trips and it didn't do any hard to their son. At that moment little Josh went to climb up the tree and saw the same picture as at the moment of his fall. He felt like a lightning bolt pierced him. He shouted, "Dad, I remember everything! I didn't fall!" He added that it was Steve who pushed the ladder. She was angry as the truth revealed. But Ben was furious! He wanted to avenge his son! But karma did it instead of him. Steve was climbing down at speed. But he got caught on a ladder and fell down. kira was so shocked and started crying. She lost her brain and ran to the window and fell next to her lover. Of course, they were alive, but they could not even move. Josh was weeping and told his dad that it was so good that he came. Ben hugged him and told him that he didn't know who sent him that sign, but thanked him. Police came and arrested the lovers. So, remember those who create their own drama deserve their own karma.

How I embarrassed my man We had a long-distance relationship in this pandemic. And after that, we finally met half a month ago. I still remember we didn't have a romantic waiting because we're in quarrels for the last few days. That morning, I just called him if he was on his way. And then getting a positive reply I started getting ready. We got on the rickshaw but we didn't talk. I was waiting for he would talk first but he remained silent. However, I defeated my ego this time and talked first. And then it continued till evening. In the afternoon, I had to come back to my room. He gave me lots of gifts and they all were in his bag. So, I took his bag with me. After a while, I returned to him and we left for another travel outside my area. Then we have met 2 or 3 times. Every time I got ready, I was looking for my favorite lipstick. But it was not in my boxes or bags. I searched the whole room for it, but everything went in vain. However, I thought they might be somewhere inside here and one day I will surely find it. So, I kept quiet. Many days have passed already. And that night we were having a video call. My man told me that something unusual happened in his class that day. I was so eager to know and was pressuring him to tell it fast. And what he told in the next minutes, made me laugh harder. He told me that that morning when his class started, his teacher asked him for a pen. He was searching in the front pockets, the main pockets but there was no pen! It usually doesn't happen with him. And when the teacher asked him for a pen, he should not lose any. So, he searched inside the side pockets and then he felt something! It was more rounded than a pen but was tall. So, he thought it might be a sign pen. He was happy to get it and then confidently pulled that object outside there. The teacher was eagerly looking at him for the pen. And he also saw it when my man pulled out a lipstick from his bag! The teacher and other students looked at the lipstick. And he was like "what's this?", "who belongs to his?", "How is it in my bag?", "Has any of my classmates done it?" and so many thoughts touched him. I laughed and laughed because he was still ignorant of what was happening. And when I told him, it was my lost lipstick. We both could understand what the actual story was. In our first meet, when I came back home with his bag, I put the lipstick there so that I could use it whenever needed (It's my habit. I usually put my staff inside his bag though I carry my one too.) And that was the reason I could not find my favorite lipstick anywhere in my room. He then showed it to me and I confirmed him. He put it on the table as he was busy then. However, we started talking again. And after a while, two of his seniors came to his room. Within a minute they noticed the lipstick on the table and started making fun of this. They ask him if he had started applying lipstick and so on. I was listening to them and was laughing harder to imagine his condition. :D He also laughed but felt so embarrassed.

Story of my sisters and grapes Hi! Good evening! I have logged in to read cash now to share a grape story. I am not very fond of this fruit. But it's delicious and nutritious so my daddy buys them often. My two little young sisters love them and eat them in different styles. 1Kg of it is nothing to them. Today's ones were juicy enough and tender. They also have good flesh. So, I thought to have photography. It was just a random one to have an illustration. I looked for them and snatched these ones from the Lil sises. My hand were shaking and could not have a stable position. So, the photo is blurred. Till this, there was nothing for which I would share this. I kept the phone on the table and went to the roof with my mom. We spend a long time there and then we returned home. I took my phone and went to photos. I know when I am not around my sisters always shoot photos using my phone. But this time there were no new photos. So, I was going through the old one and this captured my eyes. I looked at them and they were so cute. So many expressions. I knew my sisters had done this. So, I asked the elder one if she had done it. But it turned out that she was quite ignorant of it. Then I asked another one and she replied yes. My cute youngest sister has made these cuties. I never knew she was so good at drawing! And then the elder one came to me and requested me to give her my phone. I knew she was going to art on the grapes too. So, I smiled and gave. After sometimes she returned the phone with this This one is full of expressions. I am glad that they can draw and turn it into something. I also can draw but I can't bring life like them. And I would never be able to do this kind of art without lots of expression download and pixart. Next time I will introduce you to more of their arts. :D For today bye bye.....

Returning to family And again I am at home! After the pandemic, my University started taking class offline since last 24 Oct. So, after a long time I was in my peaceful campus and room. It was so hard to continue classes because it continued from morning till afternoon. Moreover, labs, assignments, projects all started simultaneously. Besides, I have two students to teach almost everyday. Everything was hard and fast and I was trying to cope with it. And gradually was loving this! (As I could not prevent it :( ) But when I was used to it, University thought to arrange the admission test. Like other Universities here, it doesn't finish it within 2 or 3 days. It needs 11-12 days to complete the exams only. The test is arranged within the University and all the classrooms are booked. So, No Classes for US!! And from today it will start. Usually, there's no traffic jam in the area. But these 11-12 days always have a different picture. So, for me no class, no outgoing, no campus tour. Actually no excitement and just to stay at room. So, I flew from there yesterday and retuned to my family! ;) But now I miss everything there. It started when I found myself really returning home. Then I started photographing outside the window and door view. This was the first photo from my window. Outside the window there is a iron grill like this for safety. However, it feels that I am in jail. :p It's the backside of the hall. At the rightside, there is the dining room and on top of this there is a reading room and two lawns. Look at this cheap safety shell. I think it might save me from big animals but what about snake? So, I never ever opens the window for so long. And yesterday I just opened it, took 2 or 3 photos and then closed it. ;/ It's from another window. The inner part of the block. Can you see my bi-cycle? That mango tree and many other trees. I don't know their names actaully so can't mention. However, I love the grass carpet. Look at the next photo and you'll see it clearly. (ignore the unwashed glass :( ) It's from my door. Can you see that Christmas tree? It's taller than 4 floors. It was about 12:30 when I clicked. And after lunch I left. It was 3 pm when I got on the bus. It was from Jamuna bridge. If a bus runs at high speed, it needs 4 minutes to cross it. It became afternoon to reach there. And the home was still away. The bus was running and glass was not cleared. So, the picture resolution and quality is not good. -_- But I love the golden rays of the sun set. I could not resist myself to photograph the setting sun. The green field, people returning home reminded me of my native. Hah?! The resolution :/ I can't remember where I clicked it. But maybe it was on a bridge. And night. But I was still away from my home. Oh! I do remember now. We were passing a port. But the bus was shaking a lot. So, it resulted like this. Finally, I got from the bus and my daddy was waiting at the stop. And I returned home!

How much do you know yourself? Hey! Today I am writing something different. It's about how much I know about myself. I mean do I remember my past and how my time was spent; good or bad. So, now today being inspired by @Jijisaur I thought to challenge my memory. Here I have taken some random questions online and will try to prove my memory. Hope you'll love the idea and also try this. 1. How’d you get started in your career? Well. I am still a student and have not got a permanent job. However, if my career means a job, I would mention the temporary ones I have joined before. I remember that when I was in college, I first introduced myself to teaching. Time has gone by and I resigned from my first teaching and after being admitted into University, I have rejoined myself with it. But it's not my actual profession. I want to be a freelancer (I want to do it, but for my own happiness. My mom and dad never allow this). However, during this pandemic, I have been skilled in some sectors and finally started freelancing. It's not an easy task because, at the beginning level, one must have patience. However, lockdown is over and I am again back only with my study and teaching. 2. Which creature scares you the most? Why? A critical question for me. But as I saw it, 'snake' has come to my mind in a second. I don't have fear of spiders, cockroaches, or ghosts like my classmates have. Oh! I am not also afraid of lizards though I don't like their skin. My snake is different. Actually, I hate their skin. It's awful to see. Umm...at first I was not so afraid. But when I saw them closely, it all started. I was in school then. I went to visit my grandparent's house. They had a large garden. One day I was jumping there and suddenly fell down on the ground. When I tried to stand up, I saw it! A yellow snake was lying about two or three feet away from me. It was dead and I could see its skin. This was not the last. I was in college then. One night I was studying and my parents asked me to have dinner. I closed the books and switched off the lights. After dinner, I returned about half an hour later. I turned on the light and could see a snake on my chair! It was so terrific as I was about to sit! But fortunately, it was not venomous. After the last incident, I feel frightened. For the first few days, I had dreams that a snake was lying to me! I was always in tension and still, now I can't sleep without a curtain. **What have you cooked for the last time?** Umm... As I can remember, I have not cooked in a month. Before a month ago, I was at home during the lockdown. At that time I have cooked for myself and my family (Though I spoilt them every time). Yet, I and my family pretended that it was from a 5-star restaurant. However, I don't remember what it was. I can remember fish curry and noodles. But not sure which one was the last one. (My memory has betrayed me :( ) I am not an expert in cooking curry. But gradually doing better. But I can say, my noodles are so-so. At least my family members like it. :D **Who has sent a gift to me the last time?** It was from my closest friend. We met after 19 months and he bought and gathered lots of gifts for me. At the first meeting, he gave me some of them, and others are waiting to be presented. (I am also waiting eagerly :D ) The gift included a beautiful butterfly stone ring and some other things (sorry can't mention ;p ). And Gucci bag, Haldi ornaments, saree, pickles, chocolates, clips, oasis bells, and many other things can't wait to meet me! Tired today. So, could not invent more. However, I make a promise to myself that I would continue this. :) :)

Don't cry because it's over Tina dreamt of a perfect wedding. When she and her fiance went for wedding shopping, he told her that they could afford a ceremony of any kind. So, he let her to choose whatever she liked. Tina was very happy with such a luck and getting the perfect man. He looked around the shop and again told her that they should choose the most luxurious venue. It was very important for his job. She felt a bit strange and asked him the reason. He replied that a few very important investors were going to be at their wedding. And for their future, he had to win them over. He added that he had to make his business more profitable. But she had her own opinion for choosing the venue. She told him that she wanted to do it at an open venue. And he again proved that he was a real man by being agreed. He added that all that mattered was that it was nice and impressive. Tina became very happy and were keenly waiting for the day. She was so excited from morning. It was still morning and she had done her make up and dressed on. Then she came to the venue. She looked around and everything looked magical. She whispered with happiness that it was just like she had always wanted. And it would be the best wedding. At that moment she saw William, her would be husband. He came to her. He was looking so happy and told her that his investors had arrived and so they could start. They were in the stage and were about to take vows. Suddenly, a strong wind started blowing and then a storm began. Everyone was getting wet and Tina became very sad. She asked what was happening. One of the investors became irritated and asked what that wedding was and why it was in the rain. Another said that that was not very thoughtful of them. All the investors and guests were leaving and William requested them to wait and said that they would shift to a restaurant. They replied that it was such a disgrac, inviting them there in such weather. They also forbade bum to cound help from them. And they left by wishing him a happy wedding. Tina came to him and said sadly, "Darling!". But he was angry with her and told that she had ruined their wedding. He also had lost his investors because of her whims. He blamed her and said that she was a stupid girl. He also said that he didn't need a wife like her. He immediately cancelled the wedding and said to her to do what she wanted. Tina was devastated and even forgot to cry. The best day of her life turned intk her worst. She walked towards the highway. When she reached she tried to stop a car and hoping to get out of there, but no one would stop. However, she continued it in a torn, wet wedding dress. Finally, one old car pulled over next to her. A young man opened the door and asked her what had happened to her. He didn't wait for her reply and asked her to get in. He drove to a coffee shop and brought some hot coffee for her. She was drinking and he asked what had happened to her. He also asked if his fiance had dumped her. He replied affirmatively and explained everything. However, he took her home and promised to visit her on one of the following days. And since then, they started talking regularly. The driver turned out to be a nice down-to-earth guy. He was the only person who supported her in that trying time. They became friends and often had weekend together. And after couple of months, they realized that they belonged together. Tina told him that everything that happened to her that day was destined to happen; so that she could meet him. He replied that she was absolutely right. That's when her ex fiance tried to come back into her life. He apologized and told her that he got disproportionately angry that day. But by the time, he had found new sponsos and he suggested that they could start over. Tine strickly said no and said that he did the right thing back then. She also told him that now she was in love with someone else. William got angry and asked if she was in love with some broke guy. He also pointed to the old car and asked if that was his car. He then suggested her to stop embarrassing herself. But Tina showed William his way and closed the door. Soon she and her beloved man tied the knot. It was a small ceremony for the closest family and friends. But the love was genuine that time. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it's the beginning of something new.

He said that the delivery guy had to climb the stairs then and she would eat cold pizza. the girls told him that if he had helped her, the boy would come sooner. the man looked at the elevator with contempt. he replied that his favorite shows started in 5 minutes and he could not miss it for her. the girl requested him to open the elevator door at least. she requested him to take the packet from her and deliver it to her mum. he asked if there was food.

The actual parents It was an ordinary evening and Liam was in rush to get home from work as usual. He was walking after getting down from the bus. He was a or two blocks away and then he could hear something. It was a baby's crying. He could not step forward ignoring that, so, he stopped and looked around. Then he could saw that baby in the road side.  When he stepped towards there, he saw a tiny bundle lay right on the ground, and next to it stood a woman.  The woman dressed in ragged clothes with her stretched out. The baby was continuously crying and it was obvious the woman was not happy with that. Liam asked her if he could help her. The woman felt disgusted and told him that if he really wanted to help her, he should take away the screaming baby away from her.  He didn't know he had to face this. But he could not justet the baby stay there as he himself was preparing to be father. So, he called the ambulance right away. Then he called his wife to tell her everything. When the ambulance took the baby girl away, he went with it too. The doctor examined it and said that it was a healthy, 6 month old baby. Liam was also concerned about her future and so asked the doctor where they would take her. The doctor replied that they would take her to the hospital and they they would see.  The girl was successfully taken and had a better life then. But a month later something terrible happened to Liam and his family. His wife could not carry to term and lost the baby. It was so depressing and stressful. They both were expecting the baby for long and couldn't bear the lose. However, after few days his wife asked him if he could remember the baby he had helped. She suggested him that they should adopt her and could be a real family to her. Liam also liked the idea and said that God Himself has sent her to them.  And that's how they had a daughter. They loved her so much and never wanted to remember that she was adopted. The girl also didn't know anything about it. She grew up to be a pretty and smart girl. Her parents did their best for her and she also loved them more than anything. But one day she accidentally saw the adoption paperwork. She cried so hard because she was not her parents' child. She thought that she was living there because they were very kind people.  And eventually, she became very angry with them. She took the papers and went to her adoptive parents. She asked them how they could lie to her all those years. She asked them who was her real mother. Hearing this her adoptive mom was broken and could not tolerate it. But Liam told her the address of her real mother.  The girl went out of the house and walked towards that road where her real mom used to beg. Soon she found her and told her that she was her daughter. But the woman was still angry and never wanted to admit that she had a daughter. She told her that she had no kids and never had them. She angrily told her that she hated children.  The girl never thought situation would go like this. She was so hurt with her behavior and could understand her fault. She cried because she had hurt her real parents. She went back to the house and hugged her parents. She said that she was so sorry. She also said that she was so silly but she loved them. And they were the best parents in the world.  Soon they celebrated the girl's 16th birthday and forgot about past wrongs and misfortunes. She was their real daughter, there were no doubts about that. God Himself had brought them together and everyone in that family was loved and happy.

Don't betray your child Betty was just 16 and was a school-going girl. She was pretty enough and all people were attracted. But she was in love with the coolest guy in school. It was a one-sided love, but soon a flower bloomed.  His name was Todd and was going to hold a party. He invited Betty and requested her to go to his party. She replied that it had been her dream and so she would surely go. And after saying yes, she only did one thing, waited for that desired day. She chose her best red dress and matching ornaments. She booked a beauty parlor for her makeover and so on.  So, when the day came, she put on her that beautiful dress, and Todd could not take his eyes off her all evening. He also danced with her. Then Betty asked him why he had invited her to the party. He replied that he was tired of stupid girls and he wanted to be with her.  And after the party, he came to her because he wanted to be alone with her. He asked her if she would like a glass of something. Betty apologized and said that it was late already and she had to go home. But then he followed a trick. He knew that she loved him. So, he told her that if she loved him, she should stay. And beautiful Betty could not say no anymore. The next day, she went to school and saw Todd. He was sitting at a table with his friend. There was an empty chair and she thought to have breakfast with him. When she went there and sat, Todd turned back to her and said that that seat was already taken. He was a bit rough and so Betty told him that she thought they were a couple then. But he totally refused it and said that it was insane and he was a free man. All of Betty's feelings were insulted and she cried out. She said that he had just used her. However, she tried to live a normal life. She involved her in many activities. One day she was in the gym and suddenly felt sick. To be sure, she had a pregnancy test and it was positive! She was so scared and decided to tell Todd everything. But when he heard this, he insulted her one more time. He said that she was crazy and her baby was not his. Betty told him that he was her first boyfriend, so there was no way to escape. But cunning Todd continuously refuses this. He told her that she was lying and he was not the only one with her.  It could end here but Todd didn't let it happen. He told the whole school about Betty's pregnancy. No one did show mercy for her. They all began to laugh at her. They told her that they thought she was a decent girl.  She was broken and needed support. This time she felt family support because only it could lessen her disgrace. So, she decided to talk to her parents. But when they learned it, they got very angry. They said that it was terrible and she had disgraced their family all over town. She cried and said that Todd invited her to his home and... But her mother said that he was a boy and it was not his fault. His father suggested she get rid of the baby.  She didn't know what to do. But she thought that her friends would support her. However, they also judged her. And this was not the end yet. The headteacher called Betty to his office. He directly told her to get out of their school.  She ran out of the school in tears. She was passing the playground and then saw Todd playing with his friends as usual. He was so happy and tensionless. Betty stopped there for a while and asked herself why her life was ruined and not his.  Betty returned home and packed her things. She thought that at that time she only has her baby and she would not lose him. She left the town and no one heard from her again.  10 years later, a beauty arrived in the city with her son. She bought a luxury house and got a job as a school director. One day she was sitting in the schoolyard. And Todd noticed her. He decided to hit on her. He asked her if she would like to have dinner tonight. She smiled and said that she would surely come and would not forget to take their son there. Todd could not recognize her but hearing her last words he looked at her carefully. Finally, she could recognize Betty.  He asked Betty why she had come back. He added that he had no money. She told him that she had come back because she was not afraid of other people's opinions. She remembered how everyone despised her 10 years ago. But now she would be the boss of these people. And they would have to listen to someone they considered insignificant. She also told him that she would teach children not to give up, even if the whole world is against them. Todd didn't know what to say to her and ran away like a little boy. However, now everyone wanted to be friends with Betty. But her heart remained cold. The very next day, someone knocked on Betty's door. It was her parents. Her mom told her that they had missed her so much. Her father asked about Betty's son. Actually, her parents were thrilled to have a successful daughter. But Betty didn't want to have parents who betrayed her. She told them that she had no parents because they had abandoned her 10 years ago.  She finally started a new life. She raised her son to be kind and honest.  `Don't betray your child because of the opinions of the people around you.`

It's never too late to grow as a person Francis was on his shopping. He had already bought some and then he walked into his favorite boutique. He was about to shop more. But suddenly he stepped on a wet floor and slipped. He got angry and said, "Damn. Why is it wet?" This was outrageous.  The young janitor who had just mopped the floor came to him after she heard his yelling. He showed all of his anger on her. He asked her if she was out of his mind. He told her that she should have mopped the floor when there were no customer. He screamed in pain and said that his leg might be broken. The janitor apologized but said that it was not her fault. He somehow managed to stand up and asked her whose fault it was then. He told her that she was a stupid mopper. For her his suit became dirty. He threatened her that he would file a complaint about her. But the girl didn't say a word in response. She was frozen as if she had recognized someone in him.  Francis noticed that too and so he asked her why she was staring at him. He reminded her that she was just a cleaning staff. Then he ordered her to get away from him and start doing her job properly. He said,"The nerve of people" and left. Still the janitor didn't say any word. She kept looking at his departure.  The encounter stirred something in her soul. She knew the man, but he didn't recognize her. All day she thought about him. And at night when she returned home, she said that he had changed a lot. She was tensed and asked herself what had happened to him. However, Francis was a regular customer in that boutique. After two weeks of that incident, he had returned to shop there. He was paying cash and then the salesman gave him a box. He told him to take that because someone had left it for him. Francis took it but asked what it was. The salesman replied that he actually didn't know but their janitor asked him to give it to Francis. He was surprised and felt strange that a janitor could send him something. He then went to a coffee shop. There he opened the box and his face changed. He no longer felt grossed out. He asked himself how that could be possible. It was a small crucifix on a chain. It made his mind go back in time.  Francis was 5 years old then. And his neighbor was Sophie. He had no friend and so always played alone. One day Sophie came to him and suggested him that they should go to the lake. Francis was very happy and asked her if she really wanted to hang out with him. He added that other kids were always laughing at him. Sophie hold his hands and said that she was his friend and she would not let them to hurt him.  She was his only friend when they were children. When she went out with him, their agemates asked her why she was hanging with that sissy Francis. But she made shut them up and made them never to call him that again.  But when he was 11, his parents decided to move. He hugged her and said that he would be missing her because she was his best friend. Sophie also said that she would be missing him too and will never forget him. Then he gave her a crucifix on a chain as a keepsake. He also told her that he wanted her to keep it to feel like he was always with her.  Holding the crucifix, Francis could not hold back his tears. He felt ashamed because he had done misbehave with her. He could realize that he was no more a kind person he used to be.  However, he found her the very same day. She was then mopping another floor. He asked forgiveness and said that he was so sorry because he could not recognize her. Sophie was happy that he at least could recognize her. And when he requested her to go out that evening, she was surprised.  When they were having dinner, he told her that big money had changed him. He even didn't know how he had turned into that kind of person. He said that he was really ashamed of his behavior. Like childhood, Sophie supported her. She told him that she knew he could turn into his former self. She added that she missed that boy he used to be.  They started hanging out together. One day they were walking by a riverside. She told him that it was just like in the old days. He also admitted it and said that wit her he felt different.  She told him that she was working as a janitor to save up money for college. So, Francis wanted to help her. He told her that he could pay for her tuition in full. But she refused to take it and said that all kinds of work should be appreciated and she wanted him to understand that. And with time they gradually fell in love and started dating. Moreover, she changed him. One day, Francis told her that he was sorry because she saw him act that way in the mall. But he assured her that he was a different person then. He also said that he had learned a lot by that time and thanked her.  So, it's rightly said that love and care can ignite kindness even in the most withdrawn people. And it's never too late to grow as a person!
