My son, who is roughly 16 years old, had been deeply concerned about something since the morning. Despite my repeated requests, he would not tell me what he was concerned about; instead, he would sidestep the subject by chatting about other topics here and there.
He had been repeatedly prompted by my wife, but he was certain that he would not divulge anything.
In fact, this year my son received a first division grade on his intermediate test, and he decided to enrol in the renowned IIT College Bangalore for his B. Tech. in Computer Science.
He had also taken the entrance exam for entry into it, which was quite demanding and saw the participation of many bright young people throughout the nation.
Today itself the result of this examination was published on the internet and in its result my son's name was also mentioned in the selected list. That's why my son was worried that how should he tell me that his name has been selected to study in IIT College Bangalore.
Because he knew that studying and living in this IIT college Bangalore was very expensive, and he knew that it was not possible to spend all this with my income.
Because of this, he was anxious after the outcome and kept it a secret from us.
Ultimately, in the evening, my son shared his achievement with my wife and me in an effort to ease his mental weight. Nevertheless, he also stated his anxiety about how the costs associated with this study would be covered.
You need not be afraid, my sweet son; you have improved our status in society.
Financial arrangements are always the parents' responsibility.
Not many parents get to experience this beautiful day.
My kid said to me, "Papa, explain to me where the money is going to come from for such a big expenditure because your pay is also growing quite low."
Papa, I believe Bangalore, in our country, has become a significant worldwide centre for computer education.
The city's high rate of inflation is a result of the numerous students who have relocated there from both inside and outside the nation.
In addition, rooms have been difficult to find and will be quite expensive due to the city's high population density.
I was worried because of that.
I said to him, "Son, you probably didn't realise that today many banks also grant loans for higher education," adding that if you finish your studies and land a decent job, the two of us would return the loan jointly.
Quickly get ready to go for Bangalore to accept your acceptance; don't worry too much about it at this time.
We're both going to Bangalore soon on a flight, so hurry up!
But it may take a long time till Papa reaches there, takes my admission and settles down there, and I have heard that the city is very expensive, where will we stay there, where will we eat.
I was concerned about this as well, but then I realised that one of my distant cousins' sisters lives in Bangalore with her family; perhaps she can host us there.
That's why I reassured my kid that everything would be completed. Just get ready and pack your necessities..
Actually, I hadn't spoken to my sister in a few years, so I called her that evening with a lot of reluctance to let her know what was going on. However, something unexpected happened: when she answered the phone, she was ecstatic and said, "Don't worry, my dear brother; My house is very big; only me and my husband live here; our both children are settled in foreign countries."
We will keep your son with us and educate him, and we will cover all of his food and lodging costs.
You arrange his college fees etc. only the rest of expenses we will take care of . I will also enjoy the company of your son because I was feeling so lonly after my both children went to abroad.
Now my happiness knew no bounds, all my worries and troubles were solved, perhaps God was completely kind to me.
After that, my sister graciously offered us a place to stay at her home in Bangalore, and we both went the next day to the closest bank to finish the loan procedure. I was certain that she would do so.
and with in three days I had secured my son's enrolment there. I then returned home.
My son was in my sister's home, and that made me extremely happy since I knew he was secure there.
