Canor was sitting with his wife on the couch. He was again saying about his dreams and his wife was getting irritated. He wanted to have kids and see them playing around him happily. But it seemed that his wife had her own plans for her life. She got irritated with his constant saying and said that she didn't want a baby crying in that house. She added that she wanted to live for herself.
Canor's heart was broken as well as it causes another divorce. He badly wanted to have a big family and so the next few years he spent looking for his one and only woman. But he never developed feelings for anyone because they were not like what he wanted.
When he walked outside the house, he could see husband and wife playing with their kids in the yard. He felt sad watching happy families and dreaming of starting his own family one day. He also wanted to play and pass his leisure with his kids. He wanted to take them in shopping, buy them ice cream and in the weekend he wished to go to the beach.
He was living with his dreams and was working day and night for saving enough for the future child.
But one day his life was turned upside down. It was an autumn afternoon and gentle breeze was blowing. He decided to return home from work on foot. He was passing by and suddenly a child caught his attention. He was about 7 years old and was in dirty cloths. He was looking so poor and was sitting on a bench nearby.
What had caught his eyes was the boy's crying inconsolably. He felt pity on him and sat by him. The boy got scared and was about to leave the place. Canor forbade him to be scared of him. He asked him why he was crying. He again asked if someone had hurt him.
The boy didn't stop crying but managed to say that he had run away and did not know where to go. Canor got surprised and asked him if he had run away from home. He replied that he had run away from the orphanage. He felt sorry for the poor boy.
Canor could not leave the child to sleep on the street and also he could not take him back to the orphanage. So, he took him to his house. He welcomed the boy and told him that he could stay at his house. The boy was calm down then.
Canor helped him in taking bath and the gave him some clothes. It was not the boy's size and so he he told him the next day he would buy him new clothes. The boy got scared and asked if he was going to kick him out the next day. Canor smiled at him and asked why he would do that.
The next day he took the boy in shopping and bought him lots of clothes. With that child, Canor felt happy for the first time in years. He realized that their encounter was a sign from above. And he was feeling the boy was his own.
That night they were having dinner. That time he told the boy that he wanted to become his guardian. He asked the boy's consent. He could not believe it first and then exclaimed that he would be very happy. For the first time, Canor saw happiness in his face.
But the adoption process was not as easy as he would thought. He went to the lawyer and he said to him that to become his legal guardian, he would either start getting paid more or get married. He added that those were the rules. Canor felt in pressure because of this, getting paid was not so easy for him and so he chose the second option.
They boy had to stay at the orphanage until Canor met the conditions. He soon dropped him there. When he was about to leave him, the boy asked if he would actually come back for him. He again asked if he was telling him the truth. Canor assured him and promised him to come.
He decided to having a sham marriage and thought to find out the best way to do it. He thought where he could find a woman who would agree to that marriage. He asked all of his female acquaintances for help. But all of them got angry with the proposal and turned him down.
One day he saw a woman on the street near his house. She was very young and was working as a janitor. Canor thought it looked like she really needed money. So, he went to her and said that he had an odd offer for her. He continued and told her to hear him out. He added that he would pay her if she said yes. She was surprised at the offer but agreed to sit to listen.
When she learnt about everything she happily said that she agreed to that sham marriage especially for such a noble cause. Canor also became so happy to get a way finally. He told her that she could move in with him that very day so that the authority wouldn't ask questions.
And their plan worked! A month later the day came. The adoption process was completed and they came to the orphanage together to get the boy back home. The boy said that he was very happy that day and hugged Canor.
After the work was done, he gave the money to the woman. He asked her if she would mind telling him what the money was for. She replied that she wanted t hire a private investigator to find her son who was taken away 7 years ago by her husband. So, Canor asked her how she could recognize him as she was a baby then. She replied that her baby had a birthmark on his back. She said that she would know it when she would see it.
It surprised Canor and then he had an epiphany. He took the boy he adopted that day to the woman. Then he showed a mark on the boy's back and asked if the birthmark was like that one. The woman started crying and whispered that it could not be true. She exclaimed that it was her son.
Only a miracle could help her find her son and that did indeed happen. After this she decided to stay a few days more in Canor's house. They started living together and he already had feelings for her. And when he made sure they were mutual, their sham marriage became real. Now it was filled with joy and laughter of their son.
God always guides you exactly where you need to go even if you suffer a lot along the way. Believe that the best if yet to come.
