The Rough Life

The Fate

Efil was quitely approaching his old home ... His feet made little to no noise.
At that moment he saw something he could have never imagined.

The house was coming nearer and nearer and he was becoming more and more anxious and helpless than he could have thought .

"It is more difficult than I had initially thought" he whispered.

Sssh ...the noise came from somewhere .
He got startled for a moment there but then again made up his mind to go there.

" Maybe.. I'm making a mistake but I have to or else I will never be able to forgive myself" said Efil to himself.

Meanwhile..

While Efil was wondering if he was taking the right step or not

His fate was already being decided by
them...

Here,

"He was puzzled." said No.1

"No, he was foolish!" shouted No.2 with anger shown in his face.

"Hmm... I personally think he made the right decision" said No.3 with confidence sparkling in her eyes.

"He cannot be forgiven" said No.4 and No.5 together

No.6 stayed quiet throughout the discussion.

"He is young and mistakes are a part of life . "
"I think he should be given a chance." said No.7

Enough...said No.0
The whole court suddenly became as quiet as a mouse .

"As the saying goes ' You reap what you sow ".

"I shall punish Efil accordingly.
He must pay a price for his actions." said No.0

"All of us are aware that this is not something that can be ignored.
It is important to maintain the balance of this world and we are the ones who are responsible for it , aren't we?" asked No.0 .

If anyone has any objections, you may tell me right now.
I shall not hear it later on.

"My lord , Efil has always helped everyone and even risked his own life to save people multiple times ! "
I cannot agree with your statement of punishing him . " said No.3 .

" No.3 ! " shouted No.0

Yes , My lord

"Are you saying that doing good deeds makes your evil deeds vanish?
Or Does your good deeds justify all your bad doings?"

"If I save one's life today then is it okay to take one's life tomorrow?
As I had already saved one life then can I also take one life?"

"Answer me No.3 . " said No.0

My lord, I did not mean-

"Stay quiet if you cannot even justify your own statement No.3 " said No.0

I guess you are not worthy enough to be at this position No.3
Your wisdom and cleverness decides your position.

Judging cases like this are not easy
That is why you all are here to help.
In case of wrong judgement , I seek help from you all.

"I hope everyone can give their opinion without being biased." said No.0

And ,

"One more word and you shall lose your position today , No.3. " said No.0 with a serious face.
