Pain of Conscience

 It was a bitter winter… It was snowing… It never stopped… Mother and child were living together in a house at the tiny village. The mother was very kind to her child, and the child was very playful. However, despite this, he loved his mother very much. One day, Mrs.Mahbuba fell ill. The doctor came to see him. He checked the sister’s condition and prescribed a treatment for her. It was found that Mrs. Mahbuba has a very serious liver disease. The doctor left the house, saying that if this disease is not treated in time, it will end in death. Mrs. Mahbuba was very worried. Because Samandar was very young, he had not yet gone to school. Moreover, she was a very young and beautiful woman. Who will take care of him if she dies? He will become an orphan…

 On top of that, her father died in a car accident 2 years ago… The poor woman asked these questions over and over again. Since he was a seamstress in a sewing shop, he could not afford these expensive drugs. If she took two, she would not be able to pay for third. That is why his illness was getting worse. But as they say: “A mother’s heart is in the child, a child’s heart is in the field…” – Samandar did not know about his mother’s condition. After that, the winter and spring seasons ended, and finally the hot summer came. Due to her poor condition, Mrs.Mahbuba had to go to work 3 days a week. One day it fell late. Samandar still did not return home. His mother went to the street to look for him, but could not find him. Tired of walking so much, he started getting sick. A mother who is running out of medicine and has finally found her son. She brought him home… The mother died…

       Samandar was a big guy. He understood everything. Why didn’t he know his mother’s pain earlier? Why didn’t he come home earlier that day? These questions did not give him peace. Poor mother only cared for him even when she was sick. Samandar was tormented all his life by “Pain of Conscience”…
