Myriad Ways

Loss

#realstory

Somebody called a driver of travel car to pick up an old man in a casino. This old man had  lost very big money at gambling and had no more left.

On the way home, about 150 km far, this man had to pee for too many times. He had diabetes. In the travel car, there were other passengers. They had to wait this man to pee. He peed on a tree, behind a car, anywhere he could find a place to pee. A toilette was sometimes too far to reach. The other passengers gave their empathy, so that this old man could tell his suffer easily: he could no more have sex due to his illness. Before, he could do it with any woman he wanted.

The eyes of the old man were red. He might have drunken a night before and he might have slept somewhere at day in the casino. On the evening the driver picked him up.

Reaching a food stall, the driver and other passengers had dinner. This old man owed money from the driver to buy some drink and food.

Reaching home at almost midnight, he knocked his home door many times. An old woman opened the door and this old man asked some money from her.

The old woman might have slept when the door was knocked. She looked so tired and got back inside to take some money. The money was for paying the driver and some money he borrowed.

Two good things the old man had: a home and someone to count on when he had no more money.

Two more good things: a kind driver and other tolerant passengers.
