"The Poor Little Kid" (Part 2)

(Second part of the story "The Poor Little Kid". Those who haven't read the first part read it so that it will be easier to understand the complete story..)

Really he was an amazing kid. A little child, struggling, to survive with truth and purity in his heart. A very kind-hearted soul. "What was going in his mind.?" I was completely puzzled. 

I talked with him for some time and in the meantime, we had had our dinner. Then, we left for home. While walking home, again he said those words about working and earning.

I promised him to give him work so that he would earn. He was extremely happy. Whatever I asked him to do, he did. Whenever I said something, he did and responded. His work was to study and fulfill his dreams. Initially, he wasn't agreed but later he agreed. "I told him that his work is to study and I will pay for that. He had to stay with me like my son." He was really happy to get an uncle like me who gave him shelter, food, education, work, and money.

He didn't get the love, affection, and care from his real parents. But whatever help I could do for him, I did. I loved him like my son. He was my support and I was his support. 

Gradually days passed, it was years that he was with me. But since his 5th class, he was sent to the hostel for better education as he was a very talented, meritorious, and intelligent student in his school. We lived apart from each other for about 12 years.

Now he was 23 years old. He was grown up and his studies were completed. He had now been an engineer and his job was in his hometown. He returned back to me. It was a surprising and very emotional moment then. I can't express..........

I was very happy and proud of him. He always respected me as his father instead of uncle. He said, "If I am here today, all the credit goes to you. This is all because of you. You are not only my employer but you are my parents instead. You are my father, mother, brother, sister, friend, partner, guide, and philosopher. You not only gave me a good life but you are the creator of my life."
