Rahman

Sometimes time flows so stupidly that you often fail to realize that it is actually flowing. You have engaged yourself in some stuffs which now seems stupid and baseless. Thinking of the past days of glory... Rahman was lying in the bed idle... yet another day of no-output. Yet another day towards the complete bullshit that is going to come.

Rahman knows very well that the money he has got from the old lady will end soon. And she is not very keen on spending this money either. It pains him a lot to use the money got from a dying lady. When he helped her in drinking water he had no idea of using this courtesy later in life. He also promised her the due funeral (which he did) but accepting money in return... was a sin. But when the lady said that, "You seem a good boy to me. See, i have this tiny amount of money. But it has no use for me. You keep it dear... You require it more." And she died.

When Rahman was done with the funeral task, he first thought he won't use the money the lady gave him. Somewhere it was pinching. To use the money got in return of putting water in the mouth of a dying lady was strictly unacceptable. But as time passed and his resources was ended, he thought, "Ok... I will not spend the money... but i can borrow a little amount. Dear, when you are hungry, everything else gets less priority than food itself. And the silsila of borrowing continued. And today, that money too was near it's end.

What will Rahman do now?
