Chapter 2 - Anonymous Effort

"BY THE TIME"

A sixteen years old boy with bright eyes was busy doing calculation while waving his hands fastly. His shopkeeper was very satisfied with his performance. Today the boy was a bit restless. He had been working here for the last five years. He was a handsome and intelligent boy.

Today the result of his tenth grade was also to come out in which he was sure of his great success. Seeing that his boss in good mood today, he decided to talk about raising his salary today. Boss was sipping tea with biscuits from a plate full of biscuits, saw that Shahu coming towards him. Stopping the hunger that arose in Shahu's stomach after looking at plate full of biscuits.

Shahu thought that in this world the eyelids would be raised for the rich but the poor and needy would be driven away by hatred.

He spoke to Owner:Boss! increase my salary. Inflation has risen, I have to run my mother and house, it has become very difficult to live after death of my father..... Moreover, my mother is a T. B patient. she has to pay for her medicines and daily expenses.

The owner's pleasant mood changed when he heard Shahu's words.

Owner said: already I pay you more than others and your job is just to sit in the chair and do calculation.

The boy narrowed his clever eyes. He looked at owner and said (normal tone):you will not increase my salary!!!

Owner didn't pay heed to him and said: no, Not at all.

Shahu said in his heart, "You definitely pay the price" .

Shahu left the shop and decided never to go there again because there was nothing left.

A woman was coughing in courtyard of a small house consist of three rooms. A young handsome boy with glowing eyes entered the house with a food bag and medicines in his hands.

Woman smiled when she saw her son. She quickly grabbed the food bag and started eating bread.

Young boy's heart was filled with grief and anger. His mother had only to satisfy her hunger. This illiterate woman had no interest in her son's success. Seeing this whole scene, Shahu's hunger flew away. He took a step towards room.

The closed sweets box remained lying on the ground.

He entered the room. He opened the old closet and Drew his pistol and kissed it and spoke two words with devil's smile

"STRENGTH" , "REVENGE"

Shah Jahan was anxiously awaiting the night. He tried to sleep on the bed because he spent most of the night awake,he heard some noises coming from the yard.His mind could recognize these voices,these were the voices of his two elder brothers who were shouting in front of their mother and arguing with each other over something. It was their daily routine.

Shahu had no interest in lives of his two brothers because shahu was not like them.

He was a luck Maker.

His brothers used to quarrel because they would work hard to earn only a few rupees. They would spend some money on betel and lose some bets. If the mother's idea came to mind,the two brothers would put a few rupees of crushed money on mother's palm and mother would be happy about it. Mother never tired of praying for them. They were dearer to mother than Shahu. Because this illiterate mother thinks that his sons(except Shahu) meet their mother's needs by earning their blood and sweat. Their dirty and wet clothes proved it. While Shahu is a shirker and selfish. He does not like his brothers.

May be her innocent mother would never have known the real truth in her own life.

Who is going to pay for her necessities and medicines?

Nor did Shahu ever wanted to reveal this secret.

Because he had not seen love and selfless sympathy in anyone's eyes since his childhood. Nor did he want to see it in his life.

Shahu hated the feelings of love, empathy, goodness and appreciation because these feelings make a man "A Slave".

Shahu was not born to be a SLAVE ,he came to ENSLAVE the WORLD.

" To imprison the Goddess of Wealth"

" To get a POWER CHAIR"

This was a last thought that came to Shahu's great mind before he went to the valley of sleep and smile spread on his face.

Impatiently waiting for the night,The KING of Night began to sleep.

Gradually,the day began to fade into the night.

"Indeed ,KING of the worldly Kings never fell asleep"
