Caleb just completed school and got admitted into a medical college. It was far away from his house and so he had to move there to continue. He said goodbye to his family: his mom, dad, and granny. His mom told him that they would be missing him. His lovely and old granny went to him and said that she would be waiting for his return. She asked him to go back soon. Caleb also promised her.
It was his dream to become a doctor and help people, so he studied diligently for all those years. And whenever he missed his family, he called them. One day he was having a video call with his parents. Suddenly he asked about his granny. He said that he could not get ahold of her. His dad replied that she was okay, just her phone broke.
But time went by and there was still no news from his grandam. He called her again and again but no one received it. He exclaimed that it was odd. He asked himself if they had not fixed her phone yet. So, he called his mom and told her to tell his granny to use her phone to call him. He was so tensed and added that he had not talked to her in a month. His mom promised him to tell her.
But there was no reply from her. And when Caleb came home for vacation, the truth was revealed to him. He looked for his grandma all over the house. But he could not find her. So, he asked his parents where she was. His mom said to him that they had not wanted to tell him because they didn't want to distract him from his studies. Caleb was so shocked and asked quickly what happed to his granny. His dad replied that she was not with them anymore. They apologized for not telling him. He said that she was suffering from heart problems.
To him, it was an unimaginable loss. He really loved his granny. He sat in his room and cried. He asked why she had left so soon. He was missing her badly. And because of the loss, his last year in medical college was hard. He always looked inattentive. However, after his graduation, he went back to his hometown. He started working at a nursing home. The department head told him that he could join when he wanted. And he started from the next day.
But his first day of work was marked by a shock. He was doing the rounds when he saw her. He was shocked and said, "Granny? Is it... you?" She confirmed him. She also said that she had been waiting for his return. He was so shocked and asked her how that was possible. He added that his mom and dad said that she had passed away. She replied that they had lied to him. She also said that she thought he didn't want to see her. He told her not to worry. He also said that it turned out that his parents had shipped her off to the nursing home to sell her house. He got angry and said that there was no way they were going away with it. He forbade her to worry and said that he would get her out of there.
Caleb didn't tell his parents right away. He decided to teach them a lesson first. At the dining table, he told her that one of their acquaintance wanted to look at his granny's house. He asked his parents if they were selling it. His mom replied that of course, he could go the next day.
However, Caleb's parents arrived at his granny matter. They were expecting to see a potential buyer, but they were in for a surprise. The parents were shocked and Caleb smiled. He told them that it was a surprise and they could not see it coming. He explained that he had made a copy of those keys and was also had the paperwork. ... He asked her mom how she could do like that to granny. She replied that they wanted what was best for all of them. Some extra money would not hurt. His mom told them that his granny was doing alright in the naming.
His granny was afraid but said that it was false. He got angrier and told his parents that he didn't want to see them again. He packed his and his granny's staff and left. His dad tried to stop him said that he was a non-sense. He added that he was old and he didn't need her. He replied that she was his granny and they were treacherous and evil people. He forbade his parents never to try to come back into their lives.
Caleb started taking care of his grandma and was happy to see her alive and well. . However, he became a good doctor. He finally became a prominent doctor in just a few years. Although he never made up with his parents, his closest person was always by her side. She believed in him and supported him too.
No material wealth could ever be more precious than human life.
