Let me take you 5 years back and talk about an incident which shook our lives.
It was a fresh springy morning of second day of March. Qasim surprisingly woke up early morning that day and told us that he wanted to give us(me and Haroon) treat. We asked the reason but Qasim didn't tell us. We were quite sure that he had got committed or he was officially engaged or he had been married for sometime and he wanted to break the news at lunch table or Qasim was always been a father of three sons and he wanted to break that.(similar myth about Niazi sometimes bothers us even now.) Anyways he took us out for the lunch. Ordered lavish meals and didn't eat even a single thing except in the last when we two were done with food he poured some water in glass,took a sip,and said(in his mystical and bass-y voice): "I've my birthday today." After saying this he paid the bill and left the hall.
I was all in tears. I wanted to yell,I wanted to scream,agony was unbearable. In my whole life I never felt that bad. But in James Bond's words "the damage had been done!!!" And nothing could've possibly revert it!!
At that time I would've committed suicide if I didn't have Haroon with me. Who showed me the other side of picture. He told me its just a birthday,I should move on after all we had a delicious lunch,what more one can expect. And then I realized he was so right!! I laughed the regret out and life was again as beautiful as I always wanted it to be. Life tests you,but at the same time it gives you unlimited turns to rectify things. We just need realize this.
So happy birthday Haroon. I wish you a great life ahead. I don't care you give me a treat or not,cuz my Allah is enough for me. One day I dream of spaghetti and same day I get it. The other day when I dream of muffins I'm provided with it.
My
Allah is enough for me.
Long story short I tried my best to make this day a memorable one for you. If,after spending 7years(day and night) you think I don't deserve a single mighty zinger then I've no issue. To be that modest is my choice and I don't want any reward from any human being.
