The boy is Elias. Age 10-12 years old. He is an orphan who lost his father and mother. His father died before he was born. And when Elias was 7 years old, his mother also died. He became one in this vast cruel world. When his father died, his mother made a will for all their property in his son’s name before she died. His mother knew that if anything happened to her, her relatives would kill her son without feeding him. So, she made a will in such a way that no one could take the property from her son.
After Elias’s mother died, his father’s relatives took him away. Everyone thought that this was a good arrangement for the orphan boy. Elias was raised in his uncle’s family. He liked the treatment of his uncles, aunts, and cousins. They took great care of him. A few months passed like this.
After a few months, uncle and aunt started talking about his property. They kept asking him questions about where they had their property and where the will papers were. Elias told them "All the properties have been written in his name. The will papers are with their family lawyer, Rahman. When he grows up, he will enjoy them."
Elias could not see that after hearing this, Aunt's face turned red with anger.
Elias' uncle said coldly, "You are our relative. Your property papers cannot be with a stranger. Tomorrow you will bring all your papers from the lawyer."
Elias agreed. He decided that he would bring all the papers from the lawyer tomorrow and explain them to his uncle.
After some time, Ilyas' cousin Molly came to him. Although they were almost the same age, Molly was much smarter. She asked Ilyas what had happened with her father. Ilyas told her everything and also told her that he would bring all the property documents tomorrow.
Molly thought for a while and then told Ilyas that you should not give any of your property documents to your father. If they get them, they will cheat you and may even kill you.
Ilyas was scared. He could not decide what to do, and the whole night passed in a state of confusion. In the morning, his uncle came to him and advised him to go to a lawyer. But Ilyas did not agree to go. His uncle could not even imagine that Ilyas would not slap him in the face. The uncle became restless with anger. Forgetting his knowledge, he slapped Ilyas on the cheek.
Blood started to flow from Elias's mouth. Elias did not even think that his uncle would beat him like this for his property.
His uncle scolded Elias, saying that if he did not bring the property papers, his food would be cut off. He thought that his uncle might be saying this out of anger. But when breakfast and lunch did not come, he got scared. He became restless with hunger. There was not even a little water in the house for him to drink.
He became tired after not eating until the afternoon. He could not think about anything. At that time, his cousin quietly opened the door, trying to talk to Elias. When she came, she had secretly brought some food. She gave him that food. Elias started eating that food greedily due to hunger.
Molly whispered to Elias - You should run away from this house quickly. Otherwise, they will kill you without feeding you. You will not sleep tonight. I will come and open the door as soon as I have the chance. Then you run away and run away somewhere else.
The little boy Elias could not understand where to go. But he understood this much: if he wanted to survive, he had to leave this house and run away, no matter what. His sister was right. His uncle had loved him for so long, only because of his greed for his property.
Elias decided that he would run away. He was grateful to his sister that without her cooperation he would not have been able to figure out such a big plot.
Elias kept waiting. He stood by the door, keeping one ear alert for when there would be a light knock on the door, his sister would help him escape unnoticed. He kept waiting. This waiting period seemed to not want to end, yet he kept waiting.

Lessons to be learned: -

This world is a cruel place. Except for parents, everyone is crazy about their interests. We have to live in this situation, so we have to consider the situation before taking every step. We have to use our conscience. We have to make the right decision at the right time. Then maybe we will be successful.
