On the same night, Mr. Ron was sitting in the living room. His wife was near him and doing some chores. He was tensed and was continuously calling his daughter. But Lucy was not picking up the phone. Mrs. Ron came to him and asked if he had got hold of her. But he said no. She was trying to convince him but he was not listening to her. He said that Lucy was not going anywhere. It would pass and she would realize he was right.
Mrs. Ron had a deep breath and asked Ron if he remembered himself when they met. He asked her what that was got to do with anything. Mrs. Ron also not leaving him. She asked him again if he remembered how he was. He herself reminded her that he was stubborn, brash, determined. She thought that he had enough ambition to conquer the world even when others were saying to her: "Ah, he won't make it." , "He is a loser.", "He has got no future." , "Just the errand boy". She asked Mr. Ron if he remembered her father who even didn't want him on the doorstep. And her mother spend every weekend introducing her to the sons of her rich friends hoping that one day one will catch her eyes and she would forget Mr. Ron. She cleard that they had cars, houses, bank accounts and Ron? He had nothing. Mr. Ron didn't say anything. Just listened to his past.
She continued saying that he was just the boss's errand boy. And he delivered his mail for three years. She asked him if he had forgotten that time. If he had forgotten how little he was paid. But he worked there among professionals he learnt and waited for his chance because he knew exactly what he wanted and he knew exactly how to get it. Mrs. Ron always believed him even when he doubted himself. She kept him away from negative words, from the words that would hurt them and make them doubt their future. Because she knew he was the right man.
So, now how that made Peter from what he was then. She added that Peter had the same burning in his eyes, the same dreams, and he loved their daughter.He would do anything so they have everything. She asked Mr. Ron if he had even noticed how they looked at each other. He didn't reply. And she reminded him that that's how they used to look at each other. She asked him what had happened to him as she could not even recognize him. However, she said that when he had needed a chance, he got one. And he became the person he was that day. That guy, Peter had everything he needed to follow Mr. Ron's footsteps. She again reminded him that every champion was once a beginner. She told him to think about it.
The next morning, Peter went to the office with jars of water. He was about to use the elevator, but he saw a notice on there. It is said that the elevator was out of order. He had nothing to do. Becuase without the elevator it was quite impossible for him to carry the jars to the office floor. He just sat and was depressed that he would be fired.
And that time Mr. Ron entered there. He also noticed the elevator notice and Peter with the jars. He didn't scold Peter. He took a jar of water and stepped up to the office floor instead. Peter was amazed with his behavior. He also took a jar and followed Mr. Ron to the office floor. When all the jars was taken to the office, Peter thanked Mr. Ron for the help. He also said that it seemed that the elevator was broken again, but said that actually it was not his fault. Mr. Ron smiled and said that he was not blaming him this time.
He rather thanked Peter for the lesson. He said that he was wrong and admitted that he was a nice guy who was going after his dreams. That was worthy of respect. Mr. Ron said that he was happy that Lucy chose him. He said that Peter was going through a tough time and he knew what that was like. Sometimes, it felt like everything around him worked against his success. But this is a test of his strength. And that was another challenge that Peter had to meet.
Mr. Ron added that he believed in Peter. And he himself reminded him that they say that every champion was once a beginner. Peter smiled at him. Mr. Ron continued that guys at his work told him that he knew a lot about computers. Peter replied that he knew a little bit. Mr. Ron asked Peter if he would like to try his hand at a new position. Peter thanked him and assured him that he would regret this.
And this is how his life started......
