The Hardworking Boy

A few hundred meters from the house around the corner from the market, there was a business of refilling gallons of mineral drinking water. Aby came there that afternoon after school.

"Is it still needed here a vacancy for a boy delivering the  gallons of water ?" 

He asked someone there. The person pointed at a young man who was preparing gallons of water to the saddle of his motorbike.

"Oh, sorry," said Aby as he approached the young man.

Whom he pointed at. He asked the 

same thing.The worker replied ,

 "Maybe it's still needed. But just ask my boss."

"Can I see him?,,

,,Wait a minute,  "

Soon the young man returned.

,, Incidentally the boss is in his workroom. Wait a minute.Later you will be called "

,Okay . Thank you" .

Then Aby was called.

,, Good morning sir ,,

,, Morning..you want to work here ? Wait .. you're Mr Fazan ' s son ..right ? I think I saw you a few times buying some gallons of  water here "

"That's true,Mr ,

"Well yes l still need one or two deliver boy here .But the motor are  only two  here .So sometimes 

you have to deliver without the motorbike .You can deliver the water gallons just at vicinity here "

,, It's allright for me ,sir ..so you accept me to work here ?,,

,"Ya ,but you are still going to school..how can you manage your time ? Beside that , you must get permission from your parents to work " 

,,Sir ...l beg you please not to tell my dad that l work here . Anyway, l just can work here for sometime if you don't mind "

,,It's wrong of me to employ a boy without the parents permission,boy " 

,,My father will not permit me .But l do this as l have no choice .I am badly need the money.."

The boss pitied him and understood.Maybe the boy just need a month period work there .

,,Ok  .you  can work after school .Just manage your time well " 

Aby nodded .He would started tomorrow,on Sunday.It 's alright for him for not having holiday.

Aby started to work from cleaning the room ,washing the gallons , filling them and let other workers delivering them to the houses .Sometimes he carried the gallons on his back .Even in the sprinkle of rain ,he just did it and never complained.

These paddlers at the market around the vicinity were going around the  roads and alleys were people who live with different kind of economic levels.

Sometimes Aby got quite good tips from them so he could save some  money faster than a month he thought he just could get from a month working there .

Traditional markets seems to be only the residue of lands   city planners. Some parts were stony or having leaking asphalt . So Aby had to be careful in managing his step with the gallon on his back .There were kids playing ,bikes and so so .

They sell their stuff anywhere they can move around.

Well..they are such  forgotten marginals who exist as if become the unwanted ones .

Sellers on the street,beggars ,

seems to be included at a good plan to be placed properly.

Why the poor mass have been there ?

They are there as they are part of any society. Hopefully one fine day the city planners make a better facility for them.

Better plan,no hidden agenda of the most superb

planners... don't they know it.lf the facility have been made fairly ,that's an 

Eden on earth for all .

Lets race for kindness,

Dash for fairness

Step up for justice

Justice in me and you and  they, we ,she ,he and it .

You know what compassion is..?

Just at the moment are in the vibes ,what is called sacrifice is nomore burden or sufferance.Aby spent most of his time working till it seems swallowing up all of his energy ,almost no time to rest .But that's what the best he could do for his family.

It tells that him that he  exist in the world for some reason.

Why ?

As someone call him in the most precious meaning like Lev  and  dad do, then the 

most unquestionable value  of moving  on has   as well precious meaning.

Thats the time when he ask himself..

Who  eventually he is .A boy everyone rely on .At least at his home .

Sometimes he wondered ,if there are some   

 problems there... 

At the young smiling face.. Yes, there is..

In the frown expression of old woman ? Yes..

In the half smiling young chap ? Yes

In the silent mouth ? Ym

In the noisy fastidious ones ? 

Yes..yes ...all he saw on the faces of people who come and go to get the drinking water .

Problems or joyous face they show are normal .Even if some customers scolded him for something.Aby just serve them his best .

They are coming they were coming they will be coming

Oh,welcome them  surprise them with smile and thankfulness.

That's s a very pleasant welcoming from a hardworking boy .

He saw a royal family show on tv somewhere in a country.

They are look  noble.

Full of crown and  jewels..

Then Aby back to his work .

Needles on earth...be careful Aby ..he said to himself when he opened a gate house and put a few gallons on the porch .

This friendly ghost ..ahaha, quite scarry,the barking dogs that belong to the rich ones .  Dogs don't wanna friended with anyone except their lords.

But anything scared  him made him learn to be stronger either.

Yes,some part of hard life is the  fact that you can learn and improve.

 Having good  heart and intention,but pitifully some other people just  repudiate and   don't wanna accept it as a way to moving on.

Certainly not for Aby .He carries out whatever he has to face .

Can he go following the railway of his destiny ,

Reaching out  the scarce villages,

Then dashing to another strange place ? City or suburbs or any other corners of the earth.

Will they see him  in weird look ? 

No,they will not care.
