Jerson was a busy business man. While he was hustling with his work , gets a phone call , to buy some medicine .Yes , it was his mother. The mother , who have suffered for him, who had gone for household jobs in surrounding houses. But, with all these difficulties, she never forgot to educate her son, to feed him ,to cloth him and always hope for a successful future for him. But she forgets to take food properly, to buy dress for her, she was busy looking after her son.

Now he has become a great business man and with high salary, his standard of living increase. Now the mother, who looked after him , became a burden . Now he does not want to see her , he feels shame whenever he see her. He always avoid her. And now she called her son to buy some medicine, but the son just ignored. And said in mind: "why is SHE always disturbing me , although she knows I am at work. This is irritating."

Soon he received a letter. It says: " You are selected as the best performer of the year. And you get promoted to higher position with higher salary, the position will be abroad. ". Seeing this he was happy. But he just thought that now his mother will be alone. He doesn't want to get his mother along with him. He feels shame to get his mother abroad. He thinks: "she never dress neatly. She smell medicines. She is always in sweat and her face is all wrinkles and looks too old. I think I better don't take her with me. So I should find a place where she could stay here."

After thinking for a while, he decided to join her in orphanage. He told his mother : "we are going out please be ready when I return home". Mother was really happy ,for her never went out of town. She wore a saree and waited for his son. When he returned, they drove for 1 hour to reach that place.

While seeing the place mother was upset. But the people over there came to see the mother. They were talking happily ,like they saw someone that they knows for ages. He was confused and asked someone. And that person replied:" we know her a 25 years ago , when she came here to adopt a baby." This really made his eyes wet.

He thought:" If this mother has not adopted me, I will be remained as an orphan in my whole life . She has struggled a lot for reaching his goals. Even though I am not her own son."

He cried and ran to his mother and hugged her. He has never done this for years. He silently took his mother home. And never felt shame on his mother. But only pride. He rejected the opportunity to go abroad and stayed with her , because he realised that his mother is really important than his job.....
