A Dream

My friend was searching a property, He asked me, to go for an auction. He bought a re-processed property, And invited me on the first day ceremony. I know a person, who was previous resident, Few years ago we work together in a factory. After the factory job he also goes to drive a taxi, On the weekend, in a pub, he dreams his future. I had paid the mortgage and property is free, Son will get a degree and left two years more, I had enough bank balance, it was a dream, Before to die, I shall do extra for my family. Why you are not worried, he always has argued? I told him, extra money isn’t good for children, I shall guide them to get a higher education, Money can ruin if they don’t know how to spend? Suddenly he died and his son gets an opportunity, He bought a new car, start heavy smoking to enjoy, Drinks every late night and comes with a new girl, He lost his degree and starts to take hard drug. One day I found him, he was lying on the pavement, I reckoned his face and called ambulance in emergency, His wife was mentally disordered in a home care, Time not remains same as a person dreams it.
