Farewell

This is probably the first trip of Chachu where I got so close to him. After discussing all the issues we have at home, he asked me ignore the little ones and try and focus on what's important and that which could be solved. I spoke, he spoke, mom spoke later, felt good. This man is an awesome human being. Mom said to me while he was to leave for Saudi "Sukoon tha Jaffar rahe tak, pareshani nai kuch nai" ... that explained it all. The presence of such a good human being makes everything pleasant. I really felt the value of this man this time. He taught me a lot of things, I didn't realize that even thinking ov ignoring minute problems would make me feel good. We discussed about how difficult life would be there with no family and stuff. And how unwillingly he has to be put there because of the future of his children. He said me while I was on phone (before he came to India)... "Days and years pass with blink of an eye Son, it hurts to miss the childhood of my kids, one day they are so small, at the other they are all grown, I am missing the most important days of my children's life".. the memory almost leaves me in tears. Then we discussed of how he plans to start some or the other business and how they don't have any bank balance and how things are, I pray to Allah that he grants me success and compassion that I can do something for them and for everyone possible, aameen. The day finally came when he is leaving for Saudi and it hurt a lot to see tears in his eyes when he came back after completion of initial formalities, he controlled his tears a lot but when he was about to go back the final time, he couldn't take it, I couldn't take it. The instant I saw tears rolling down, it hurt me very harshly, a thought ran thru my mind, this man is going away from his family for another year, I broke in tears!! Then when he went inside, there were two glass panes between us but we could see each other blurry, he gestured me to take care of his kids, especially faraaz, I again cudn't take it, I broke into tears. Almost half the way back I was crying thinking what is it that he must be going thru, he is a great man, a very very good human being, may Allah give him patience and strength and success soon so that he could spend maximum time with his family. If you read this, please pray for him and also me that I may somehow be able to help him and my family, inshaAllah aameen.

I love him a lot.
