Only the sincere in the work is left ( Memories from a lifetime ) Aziz story

The few hours that Mr. Aziz spent with Awad seemed like years. He lost the desire to resume his business and went to the small village in which he grew up. He wanted to be alone for some time. Awad's words said that it was never too late to correct the mistake.

Mr. Aziz arrived in his village, and at the outskirts of the village there was a dilapidated house, it was clear that no one had entered it for a long time, in front of the door of the house, Aziz recalled some of his childhood memories, he and his younger brother

More than Sixty Years Ago 1950

Three children were playing in front of the house, they looked very cute, their parents watched them play from far away, their parents seemed to be simple in everything.

Mother, "be careful not to fall"

Father, "let them play and learn how to stand up again"

Mother, "No, what if something happened to them?"

Dad, "don't worry, we're sitting next to them, there's no way anything could happen to them."

Najla, Aziz's little sister, fell to the ground, and Aziz and his brother Farouk quickly ran towards her

Najla was seven years old, and she had a congenital heart defect, but her parents never know that because, at that time, medical treatment was not the usual, but just herbal remedies.

All they can imagine is that she is sick with anemia, and all she needs is food

Aziz, "are you okay?"

Farouk, "are you ok?"

Aziz, "Come on, there's no need to play hide-and-seek. Let's go sit by the lake and catch some fish".

Najla, "come on"

Farouk, "yes, we will have a lot of fun"

Aziz was the eldest of them. He was 12 years old. He was smart, superior, and kind-hearted. Not only that, but he used to go with his father every day after school to help him in his field. His father owned a small land on the outskirts of this town, and he earned a very small amount from it every year, but it was enough for him, and his family. Except to some extent.

He was affectionate with his brothers, especially Najla, because he always felt that she was an angel who would not stay in this world for long.

Aziz took his brother and sister to the lake, and they sat down to fish with her after a while Khalil passed by them, and he was riding a horse, Khalil, "What are you doing here? Get out of my land"!

Khalil was the same age as Aziz, and they attended the same school, but unlike Aziz, Khalil was a lazy student who relied on his father's money to get him private tutors, and he was jealous of Aziz to a great extent.

Aziz, "What are you talking about? This lake does not belong to anyone"!

Khalil says, "isn't the lake facing my land, so it's mine, go from here and sit in your far land"

Aziz approaches Khalil to beat him, but Farouk stops him and tells him that his father had warned him not to quarrel with Mr. Jamal's son, so Aziz retreated at the last moment, and took Najla and Farouk and headed home.

Aziz went to talk to his father

Aziz, "Dad, can I talk to you?"

Father, "Yes son"

Aziz, "why do you always stop me from taking my right from Khalil when he bullies me?"

Father, "I am very sorry, son, but as you know, I don't have any support. I don't have money or influence, and if something happens to me, I will leave you to the unknown. Mr. Khalil has everything. Money and influence can remove me from this world without being punished. All I am waiting for is for you and your brothers to reach safety and at this moment. Do what you want.

When you get your degree and become a doctor, isn't this your dream?"

Aziz, "dad, but this is a long time"

Father, "I know that, and we will not have to sacrifice something today until we get what we want tomorrow."

Aziz "okay dad, I will wait until then"

Father "okay son"

Aziz was eagerly waiting for the half-year result, as his father promised him to go to the capital as a prize for him if he got first place, as he always does.

The next morning, Aziz arrives at school and finds Khalil standing laughing in front of the result hanging on the school door

Aziz approaches hesitantly and then finds surprise, first place is Khalil, and the second place is Aziz, but how can that happen?

Khalil approaches Aziz and whispers in his ear

"Don't be surprised, the one who answered is a teacher, Ha-ha ​​I mean I am a professional as a teacher. Don't be sad my friend, after all, who talks is money, you must always live with that".

Aziz runs away from school and sits in front of the lake for long hours until night falls

He sees his father from afar, he seems panicked and afraid, but as soon as he sees his son, those feelings change with feelings of reassurance and regret.

He approaches his son and sits next to him

Father, "does the first sit like this?"

Aziz is silent and does not answer his father

Father, "I know you are sad because you feel wronged, but injustice never lasts, my son"

Aziz said, "and what if it lasted for the whole period of my studies and Khalil stole my position every time?"

Father, "can a cheater become a skilled doctor, no matter how much your position is stolen, the day will come when his truth becomes clear, and he is just a thief. Even if he enters medical school with his money, he will not be able to continue, and if he continues, he will not be able to become a skilled doctor. Only the sincere in the work is left."

Aziz says, "your words console me, but I fear the day when the opposite of your words will be proven"

Dad, "don't worry, that day won't come. Let's go home and sleep a little. Tomorrow we'll go to the capital. You've done the hard work, and you deserve more than this."

Aziz says, "really dad, thank you, I'm going to sleep right now."
