"Why are you still here, Dad? Why do you not stay there with your wife?"
"Are you driving me out?", asked the man who was over 50 years-old.
"THIS IS MY HOUSE. You ought to stay there", replied his son.
Without having courage and strength, the man went to his brother's house that are not far from his house. He was shocked. He told his brother about what his son said while shedding tears. His brother immediately phoned that son telling to come and explain.
Knowing that this matter could make him be in a difficult situation, the son intended to come with his mother, the first wife of the old man, who was divorced because of her greedy and cheating with another man. Since she stayed in another village, it took a day for him to come fulfilling her uncle's call. They arrived at his uncle's house in the evening. Then, the conversation was started...
"What did you say to your father? Did you drive him out from his own house?"
"NO, uncle. I didn't say so."
"REBELLIOUS SON! You mean your father was lying??"
"NO! I never drove him out, nor did I ask him to leave home", he defended.
"It's true, my son would never do that", added his mother helping.
"IS THAT TRUE, MY BRO?" the uncle asked loudly to the old man who was in another room.
The man came out trembling and said, "No, he asked me to leave the house....and.....he said that that was his house".
"See! What else can you say?", asked his uncle furiously.
"I'm sorry, uncle. I didn't do it intentionally"
"Now you admit that? Why did you say sorry to me? Sorry to your father!"
The son immediately grabbed his father's hand and begged sorry.
After that incident, the son had never changed. He kept acting and talking harshly to his father. His wife, the daughter in law, was also impolite to the old man. They liked making troubles on his father's merchandise, making it mussy.
The man had an emporium at the front part of his house. It was also a good business place and the only source for him to earn his living that had led him from zero to hero. So that, he couldn't just leave the house. His second wife really loved him, but she was driven out due to the slander from the people. They said she was greedy and just wanting the man's wealthy, whereas she's also from the rich family. She also stayed in another village.
Couldn't keep the attitude of his son up any longer, he finally left home and stayed with his wife. He still always came to his old house to do trading everyday. In this situation, the son still never stopped making troubles. Even more, he stole and changed the owner's name of the house's certificate under his mother's name and pawned the certificate of vehicle ownership of the car.

My memories could be different from what it was told to me. The man was the uncle of a friend o'mine and...this is NOT A DRAMA, BUT REALITY.
I would be glad if you share your opinion about "the father" or "the son" in this story. To see how rude his son towards him, do you think THE FATHER was A SUCCESSFUL MAN?? In my opinion, what happens to PARENTS and CHILDREN are connected to each other.
Anyway, any comments or just likes are very appreciated. Thank you very much for reading.

So glad to have you on my blog. And again, money makes problem. We should be wise to deal with money, right?
Thank you so much for marking my writing. I imagined it as an emotional situation, yes. So, I'm pleased to have your appreciation. :)
**Dear Mohammad**
I completely agree with you.
By the way, I laughed to see that you imitated my style to write the name. :D You know I wrote like that because it's knotty to write words with color or bold style from the phone, and I just wanted to make it clearly seen. :D
Thank you very much for your comment. :)

** Hi Onee **
I believe that in this world, you will be treated as you treat.
Thanks for sharing.
**Hi Icha**
That's the first thought of mine, too. The tragic story. Somehow I was thinking..."How could the son could do that far...? How can...? It was far too much" Then, I assumed that it was how parents brought up their children. Yeah, we cannot judge them, but we can learn from this story.
I shared this since there's a message in it, it was my pleasure. Thank you very mush for spending your time to read and comment on my blog, dear Icha. I guess you're busy these days. Good day and take care! :)
Hi Onee,
The tragic story I thought. I have never imagined that is outside this “drama” occurring for some families. We din’t know what actually happened inside this family, but I usually thought what we get is harvesting from our deed, or we can call it “karma”. I know that I can’t judge the person without tracing or knowing the truly of story.
Thanks for sharing this story with us. At least I got the morale messages from it.
**Sir Alan, my teacher**
I feel so honored that you read and comment on my blog. Many thanks for spending your precious time here. It's great to read your English written.
I agree with you, Sir. "A child's upbringing is the most important factor in its development" Whatever it takes, parents should bring up the children well.
You're right that nobody really knows what goes on inside other people's families. We only analyse and take the lesson from every events.
Thank you very much for your precious comment and like, Sir. :)
Hello Onee-chan, I enjoyed reading the story very much.
I'm not sure what my opinion is of the different characters. I think, as teachers, we're often quick to hold parents responsible for the behaviour of their chilldren. I tend to think that a child's upbringing is the most important factor in its development. However, many parents will tell you that a child's natural disposition will override this upbringing. All we can say with certainty is that families are often very complicated, and also that nobody really knows what goes on inside other people's families.
