" The Useless Child" PART II

Continuation to Part I

After the wedding, finally all came out to the surface. The wife finally found out the guy was actually Penniless, Jobless and has nothing but Debts. The guy was so smart because he picked a rich and independent girl to be his wife and after sucking his parents’ blood to get the girl, it was time to suck the wife’s blood since he was staying at the wife’s family house. The RM60k that he said he waited for NEVER came. The wife found out that the project was also halfway done so it was logic that he didn’t get any payment from it. Now that he was jobless, it was his reality that he could not hide anymore after the marriage. The wife knew he slept the whole day and only woke up at the afternoon and did his activity around the house and slept so late watching movies and surfing the internet without bringing back any benefit. The wife got so tired of this she even cried in the middle of the night.

But it wasn’t the end yet for the parents’ sorrow. He kept coming to the house asking for money. He said it was for “another project”, building “another company” and all the stuff that made his parents thought he was going earn more money by take a few month thousands from them. Not enough with that, the wife also now start sucking his husband’s parent’s blood by borrowing money for her business and promised to pay in 2 weeks but she never paid. Maybe because she thought even her husbands borrowed almost RM100k from his parents and never paid, why should she pay such a small amount of RM3K. Now with the habit of coming and taking more and more money from the parents saving, IMAGINE what the parents felt. So is this what the parents get after raising him as an educated person?

The lady who came to me and told this story was the guy’s sister. She was in tears when she told me the story. The parents are so helpless because they believe that money is not everything. They shouldn’t make enemies with their children just because they borrow money and never pay back. The rest of the siblings did ask the parents to stop giving money but the guy has a way to ask from them. He become so SHAMELESS cos everytime he comes he brings a new excuse that is not even reasonable and he always PROMISE to pay back. As if he never stops believing that one day he gonna get a million by fluke. The most pitiful thing about the parents is that they NEVER stop believing that the son will finally tell the truth about him being responsible for his debts. Now that the debt is accumulated to RM100k, it’s almost everything that that the parents have and it all goes to ONE child only. The child that was one they praised so much to be “THE BRIGHTEST” because of his achievements in school. He also has good attitudes compared to his other siblings because he is good with socializing while the rest are not so friendly with relatives. The parents were right at one time. But NOT ANYMORE. People change. Life gives us non-stop challenges that make us go haywire and this is how our strength is tested. This is how we are tested if we could use our “weapons” to never get distracted from our values. If you choose to get lost in your own fairytale, this is what happens. If you play foul, you have a price to pay. If you make mistakes and never repent, they are going back at you in a different way. The point is YOU want to change your life or not. You want to quit your stupid dream or not. IF YOU HAVE A FUNCTIONING HEART that make you think wisely IF THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD TREAT YOUR PARENTS.

I cried as the sister spoke in tears because she reminded me of my own parents too. She told me how hard the parents raised them. She didn’t believe that her brother would do this to them after they sent him to university and got a degree. Just a few days ago he came again and asked for RM5K from the dad. The sick dad had to dress up quickly and went to the bank to take out the money from his ASB. After he got the money he sent him back and pretended like nothing happened. The next time he visit the house, he won’t say anything about the money. He would act like the most innocent child who occasionally come to visit the house and talk of his future plans as if his parents have not even spent anything yet on that stupid almost too-good-to-be-true dream. The most painful thing is he refuses to find for a job because he thought the normal job won’t make him rich. They also refuse to take a job as a engineer because he said he doesn’t want to get transferred. So what he prefers to do is to sleep the day off and dream to get one-off deal to become an instant millionaire.

The good news is that – The Useless Child is only temporary. Just like when he becomes The Favourite Child, is also temporary. I made mistakes to my parents too at one time in my life. But I have admitted my fault. I have repented my mistakes and freed my parents from the sorrow I once caused them. If you happen to be this Useless Child now, FIND YOUR WAY BACK home. God gives us a lifetime, guys. This is not a punishment. FIX IT… GO FREAKING FIX IT before things are too late.

GO FIX IT, GUYS. God gives a way. Please make the effort. Help yourself only then God can help you. PLEASE… PLEASEEEE…
