Religion

How my times I have told you to keep distance from the Muslim guy, his father warned him again.

But what's wrong befriending with him, he busted finally sick of being warned again and again.

These Muslims are threat to our country, his father told.

I don't think so, my friend is a nice guy, he replied.

Don't you know all terrorists are Muslim, his father told.

Why don't you understand papa, terrorists have no religion and these bloody people don't deserve to practice any religion, he replied.

I don't know anything, I have warned you umpteenth times and this is the final time I am warning you, his father told him.

Hopefully someday you will understand, he replied dejected by his father.

Stop murmuring! Go pack my bag, I have to catch train tomorrow morning.

Wake up papa, it's 5 am, you have to catch train.

What! 5 am, why didn' the alarm rang.

Get ready quickly or you will miss the train, the train is on time.

Oh god! The train has started, his father panicked and rushed towards the train.

His legs silpped while catching the train. Seeing him imbalancing, a passenger, who was standing at the gate of the train, clutched his hand and jumped on the platform.

By the time he could understand anything , he was lying on the platform.

Thankfully he had got no injury but the passenger had got cuts on his both elbows.

He got up and thanked the passenger.

The passenger asked, if he was okay.

Yes, because of you I'm alive, he replied.

But you should not have jumped to catch the train.

Yes, I should not have! What is your name brother? He asked.

Mohammad Pravej Alam, he replied.

Tears rolled down through his eyes, recalling the last night conversation with his son.
