The Last Blow

He has received the last blow, and it was of a very strong and heavy caliber. That caliber which dose not only, irritates sand hurricanes, angry thunderstorms, but turns life upside down, and takes lives, Allah may forbid! He could not receive another one, because, it was the last, which disturbed his balance, and admitted him into a hospital due to a heart attack, and by the ability of almighty he was saved from death. He was forced to leave work, and preserve his health from deadly killing diseases, and his life from a sudden early death.

He was the only mill hub that the institution was depending on, and the rest around him, were just like nails in his machine of production. He was the only administrator around, who has the right to issue orders, and his office was the vastest, and there was nothing bigger than his table. His nose was high up to the skies and seeing himself, far better than the others. Was acting as a lion in his arena, or a queen in her beehive! Appointing this person and dismissing that, changing the jobs of those under him, and removing whom he wants from one location to another, with no reference to any higher administrative authority than himself.

The first wallop came with the beginning of work scope expansion, and increase in income. Even with its strength he has managed to avoid it safely, because it was just the first one, and he has no prior experience with the slaps. Due to this expansion, there must be a reduction in his powers. New faces have joined, who have taken their positions, by abduction and steeling his own property, as what he has believed. Over the time work has increased, expanded and widespread, and that meant attacking him and extracting his spirit.

The regret and worries, were doing their job on him, eating his heart and soul, like a wildfire eating a dieing straws! He went on wondering in aloud voice, is not he who has given birth to this institution?! Is not he who has raised and spent time on it?! Is not he who has watered and quenched its thirst, from his body tiredness and thinking?! Is it conceivable that a father gives up on his kids, or a mother on her children?! After all that long unsleeping nights, and the hardship throughout those exhausting years! He was speaking loudly and openly, making those around, looked to him in amazement and astonishment! The were divided into two groups, a group fearing for him and for his health, so they tried to advise him to take Allah as his saver and be patient. However livelihoods are in the hands of the provider who has the strength and force, to distribute it as he wishes. The other party was very happy and joyful, either because they made him reach this situation, or he has reached it himself!

Over the time, and with reduction of his authorities, his office and table not only have shrunken, but have vanished. The new appointed officials did not spare any effort, either by the powers granted to them, or by exploiting his deteriorating position. They were working hard to get rid of him as much as possible. There were also some issues that have increased their gluttony, outrage, and anger toward him. Those made them try to attack and eliminate him; and get rid of his impact on their posts. One of those matters was being educated sophisticated, and one of those with high degrees. They are no more than workers with limited or no experience, have reached their positions by their blind obedience to their superiors. Usually a lazy, stupid, and slacker does not feel comfortable with active hard working person around him. Either he guides him on his tracks, so everyone will be equal. Or destroys that active hard working person, so he will be at ease, and the people will not see his bad sides.

At the end of his journey, not only his office, but also his table was in a closed corner hard to be seen. To make the matters worse, although he has accepted the deteriorated situation, his dismissal was final, and with no return. His relationship and friendship with owner did not aid or help him. The owner has forgotten all that, for the sake of money and wealth, over the good human relations. Like what some animals would do, even eat their kids, when been attacked by an infidel hunger. Although he was the only and last hope, which he was attached to, to save him from drowning. It was cut off, and could not be link again. By this he has earned and well-deserved the last slap, because it was the straw that has broken the camel's back.
