I know, I was wrong (1)

" So old man, how have you been doing for the past years? I never got the time to check with friends once I left college." Elder Smith said as he sipped on his tea while sitting in the yard along with Elder Jones beside him. 

Elder Jones raised his brose and answered. 

"Nothing much... Just got myself busy with the company. Once my wife died it felt like the world has crumbled. So neither did I try to find out or get in contact with anybody. I busy myself with the company day and night and then one day I got to know how Elijah was doing at his parents house. His arrival made my life jovial." There was a rare smile blooming on Elder Jones' face when he recalled the day when he brought Elijah in his villa. The boy was too scared to even let anybody hold him but when the old man went to him he happily held his hand and followed him. It seemed that they shared a very deep bond since their past lives.
