Suddenly it became totally dark. Esty tried to see anything
but failed. Tears came out from his black eyes: He touched his left eye with
his left hand. But only he could feel the tears. Then he looked ahead and took
his steps boldly. He felt, anyhow he had to reach home. Because he received the
news of his mother’s illness just before one hour. There was nobody to take him
off from, the school hostel. Having no other alternative, he had to start
alone. His hostel super helped him get into a ‘bus and the boy bade him
goodbye. But on the way, the bus made an accident. Luckily, he was unhurt and
an old man helped him reach home. Reaching home, he heard that his mother was
danger-free then. She had been operated upon successfully. Esty felt relief and
thanked Allah for saving the life of his mother.
Or,
Devotion to Mother
One night, the boy Boyazid was busy with studies. His ailing
mother was sleeping. Suddenly she woke up and asked Bayazid to give her a glass
of water. But he found no water in the pitcher. So he went to a distant place
to bring water. He came back with water and found his mother asleep. He did not
wake her. He was waiting for his mother’s awaking. When it was dawn, Bayazid’s
mother awoke. She found her son standing by her bed with a glass of water in
his hand. She then realized the fact. She embraced her son and blessed him.
