Storytime - Sad Story of My Son Behind Bar

I have only one son. He got married last 2015 and got two lovely children. He had a good job in our municipality. The government grant him scholarship to enhance his skill and knowledge for promotion after he finish the two years additional course he took. Everything went smooth with his wife who have an online job too. They lived a happy life and I was the most happiest person who felt for them all. They were already stable living a simple life.

One day, it was Saturday, he had an online class supposed to be. Before he attended the class online , he went to the market to buy fresh fish for breakfast and lunch. He was also withdrawing money from their ATM to claim his wife salary of the week. It would be spend for their youngest daughter's birthday.

Not knowing that behind their happy family, someone , a co-worker and his actually friend who betrayed him. The man called him to go with him to their friend. My son have a single motor easy use for daily transportstion going to his work and all the time this man his friend always came with him their job. Jealousy was the root of all the troubles. This man was already working g ahead of my son. Wrong choice of friend made his life into worst unforgettable experienced in life.

The man was a drug retailer behind the knowledge ofy son. He pretended to be a good person and got the trust from my son. That the same day, that person delivered drugs to someone they knew and left my son to the house of that man and the drug dealer told my son to wait just firva while , he would be back.

My son sat down watching tv in the sala when there was a police coming on their friend house. The handed the man because he had a drug in his pocket but my son had nothing in his position. Sad to say,that thepolice brought my son to the restaurant and he was planted with drug, a tiny amount only that made him positive of the position .

It was February 15, 2021 during pandemic that my son was in captiv. My son cried to that crime he never did. But he was planted . The real dealer of that drug was out of nowhere. He escaped from the police. It was a buy bust operation. My son was innocent but they planted it on his pocket. I cried that morning and I am here in Saudi Arabia. I couldn't believe it .

Then, I went home last 2022 to visit my son. I stayed for 3 months visiting him every Saturday for just 10 minutes given to us to talked with out hugging and we had barriers between us. The kids didn't know that their father was inside bar. They thought my son was working abroad like me. I wanted to stay for good but we need money for the case of my son. After three months , I went back working and I supported his family.

He was inside bar for 16 months and he was being freed. That devastated moment of his life gave bad situation to his family, to all of us. My son is a good person, no drugs, no cigars and no liquors. But the doing of the devil hit him so badly.

Now, he is free and now doing his best to start a new beginning to his life. He lost trust to the way of the governments fighting for drug related issues. There are so many innocent became a victim just for the promotion of the police. Its a very dull governance. But we are thankful that he was being freed and no record of the crimin. He can work abroad and even in our country once again . There's a lot of lesson learned not to trust 100% to a friend.

That's a true story of our life. If I have no trust to God, it was a very hard situation in our life. But I trust His process. We lost a lot of money fighting for his right . I am grateful that we made him out from the cage. He cried when we first talked and he said that the place was not a place he deserved in his whole life. What I told him is to hold on, calm down and increased his faith to God who would let him free. And it happened ! Praised God! We won the battle!
