About two years ago when I was in college. I m a good player of table tennis. One day after training my
trainee said we have to go out of city for matches so need to do proper medical checkup before leaving.
Next day, me with my trainee went to hospital for blood test. It was hot day of summer when we
reached hospital, there were a lot of people walking here and there and had stress on their faces. We
reached to the blood sampling room along with nurse who had a common face almond eye with straight
nose. After taking sample nurse told me that you collect your reports at evening then we went back to
home.
In evening after facing huge traffic jam I reached to the hospital to get reports. I directly went to
laboratory and collected the reports after giving my serial number to the lab assistant. Then I went back
from the laboratory and passed by a room where there was a guy lying on bed like a child. I tried to
recognized him after 2min of continous staring I finally identified him. He was my friend’s husband. I
entered the room and started with light conversation.
Me: hi bro
The guy: hi
Me: how are you?
The guy: fine but sorry I didn’t recognize you.
Me: it’s ok I introduce myself I am amna’s friend anita hope she teld you about me
The guy: yeah I know you she always talk about you she told me that you are the one who truly
understands her (smile on his face).
Me: amm yeah may be (smile) well what’s happened to you?
The guy: silent.
Me: is everything okay?
The nurse: he attempted for suicide.
Me: (shocked) why did you do that?
The guy: I have no explanation (crying).
Me: (forced him a little) please tell me what was the reason behind this act. He started telling me and
said, about one month ago Amna gave birth to a baby girl. We became so happy when we saw her, we
thought that nothing could be more beautiful than her But after 72 hours the doctor check told me that
your daughter is suffering from tay-sach disease and she just can survive for 6 years with mental
disabilities also she wouldn't be able walk then all my relatives and the people of my surrounding start
teasing me by saying that GOD punished him that’s the revenge of all those girls to whom he did wrong
in the past. Now he reap what he sowed...in the form of his abnormal daughter.
Then I thought I have no right to live then I decided to commit suicide. Suddenly A nurse came in the
room and said meeting time is over kindly please leave the room. Then I went back the way to home
with too many thoughts in my mind that why our society is so pejorative? Why everyone judge him by
his past? Why they are unable to see the goodness in him. Then suddenly my mind clicked that how can
I judge them. I am as like as these people judging my father just because of his previous records. I never
talk to him with a happy and recalling all these acts. I dig deep.
Although It was a difficult decision for me but it suddenly changed my attitude towards my father and I
had to decide at that point that I forgive my father for his past and will start to behave with him in a well
manner. Then i went to home, apologized my father. he never knew my inside thoughts and then on
that day I spelled out everything whatever was in my heart to start for a new beginig and because he is
so kind hearted he forgave me too and then everything get fine between us from then till now.
