"Thank you for taking care of me. Hassan said to his son Abdullah
"You don't have to thank me, I'm doing my right. He replied smiling to his father while holding his hand .
"Hmm your child will also care for you. He paused,heavy a deep sigh then prayed more for him. You know all my assets, please I hand everything over to you, please share everything to 4 ,use 2 to do sadaqah for me,dig well for me, and keep the remaining two to yourself and your children you will have in future. You know where my diamonds and golds are, please keep very well for your children, I thought I will see your children before I die........
"You will see them bi idnillah, don't scare me sir. He cut his father short but his father smiled when he heard what he said. Just then Ayub entered
"As salamualeykum warahmotullah. He greeted and they answered him chorus
"How are you father,how is your health now? He asked but Abdullah was surprised and happy at the same time because it the first time he cared for their father since his sick days but their father were neither surprised nor happy because he knew there's more to his care
"Alhamdulillah, he's getting better. Abdullah answered
"Alhamdulillah,hmmmm dad . At the said of dad, his father said within himself that I knew it
I heard when you were telling Abdullah what to do with your properties, don't get me wrong o, I'm not eavesdropping o but I didn't hear you tell him to give me any share.
"Yes because you don't deserve it. His father said
"I'm your child too, how can you say I don't deserve it
"I said it and I mean it, you don't worth it
"
"How can you say that to me,
Yes, I said it and that's final
"Dad if I don't inherit you then no one will, everything will destroy in your presence and absence. He said and slammed the door loudly., Abdullah followed him with his voice calling his name but he didn't answer
Abdullah wanted to tell his father not to have said that but he found him dead already.
