"What have I done to deserve this from you? I gave you my life and you treat me this way?"

Mocking laughter greeted his query and his heart bled.

He left the house that day and disappeared without a trace.

The author of his misfortune soon met his comeuppance, all his wealth disappeared like a puff of smoke, friends deserted him in his time of need.

Then his daughter fell sick. After months of hopelessness and endless prayers, he saw a light at the end of the tunnel.

A charity would sponsor the expenses for her treatment abroad. They just had to get the final approval from the main sponsor.

His daughter's application was rejected by the boss for no reason at all, this dejected man was told. He found out the boss was that young man he had destroyed years before.

What coincidence!

What courage did he have to face the young man after the atrocities he committed against him.

For the love and life of his daughter, he would lay down his life if need be.

He asked for an audience with the young man and on bended knees craved forgiveness and mercy for his poor child.
