It is always not bad what looks bad!

“God knows well when this boy will realize his responsibilities. It’s midnight and he isn’t home yet.” Asad’s mother was talking to herself. She was very much worried about his son Asad who was not very attentive with his studies; rather he used to stay out with his friends late in the night.  Asad’s father works in Dubai therefore, Asad paid no heed to his mother’s reprimands. That night, he once again was very late.

At about one o’clock in the night the door bell rang.  Mrs. Junaid (Asad’s mother) rushed and opened the door. He was standing there very indifferently.  “Is this the time to come home? Asad when you will realize to behave like a gentleman. I am telling you for the last time your attitude is intolerable.  I’ll write to your father all about your activities and how you are wasting your precious time with those hoodlums.” “Mother! Don’t call my friends hoodlums.  They all are good friends.” Asad retorted.  “I know how good they are! Mrs. Junaid Snapped. “At least let me come in

“Mother! Don’t call my friends hoodlums.  They all are good friends.” Asad retorted.  “I know how good they are! Mrs. Junaid Snapped. “At least let me come in

“At least let me come in, mother.” Mrs. Junaid moved aside. “You must decide whether you behave yourself, leave all these friends and pay all your attention to your studies or I will call your father right now.” “Mother this is not the time for all this.” “No! Asad, you are stubborn and going out of hand day by day. Are these the manners of good boys? I am ashamed of you.” “Go to your bed and think over it. I will listen in the morning what you have decided.”

“No! Asad, you are stubborn and going out of hand day by day. Are these the manners of good boys? I am ashamed of you.  Go to your bed and think over it. I will listen in the morning what you have decided.”

Asad was lying on his bed and was very angry with his mother.  He was also afraid if his father be told of all this.  He would outrage.  Asad at once got off the bed and sneaked out of the room. He was standing outside few seconds’ later, thinking, where to go.  Then he was walking on the road thinking to which friend he should go.  All at once there came a Hi roof, stopped near him, the car’s door slid open and Asad was pulled into the car by some strong hands.  One hand was clutched over his mouth. He was struggling desperately to get himself free. The other man started to beat him very badly.  He got blows and punches on his face, ribs stomach, He fell unconscious.

When he came into senses again he found himself lying crouched in the corner of a semi-lit room.  His body was aching in pain. They had savagely beaten him to get control over him.

Asad was lying there, thinking why these people have kidnapped him. They may have called his family and demanded a huge sum of money for ransom.  But how could his mother be able to arrange such huge amount of money.

“I must try if only I could get a chance to get out of here." He thought desperately.  He struggled hard to stand.  His legs were trembling. He stopped at once.  There was a sound of a key turning in the door lock. The door opened and there entered two men.  They grabbed Asad.

“Wa..what are you doing, what do you want from me?” Asad stammered. 

“We don’t know.  Come with us.”  They replied. All of a sudden there was a great hustle bustle and groups of policemen entered the house from all side.  The kidnappers tried to run, but they were overpowered.

Asad saw there were his friends also with the police.

“It’s all okay now Asad!” “They shouted seeing him.

After some routine work at the police station, Asad’s friend took him to his home, where his mother was very much worried. She was crying when she did not find Asad in his room. Asad’s friends told her all what have happened.

It was lucky that after dropping Asad they were having drinks at a roadside café near Asad house.  They saw him coming out of the house and how he was kidnapped.  They followed the Hi-roof and at the same informed the police on a cell phone. The police reached in time and rescued Asad from the culprits.

After that Asad’s mother realized that it is not always bad what looks bad.
