She was good-looking, hard-working, and he thought she missed luck. He wanted to help her be the best. He tried meeting her, but she was busy. He met her parents and left a note to her to see him at the earliest. Her parents misplaced the note, and ignored to inform her.

To the family of eight, being the third child in line, she took up the entire responsibility. She got a job better to that of her brother. She wanted to see her family happy, and bought clothes for all of them. She ended up with comments that she could not afford to buy costlier ones. She fell in love and her marriage was settled. But her face was burnt after somebody cheated her replacing a cold-cream with acid. Groom really loved her – not her beauty – and was disappointed not to be able to marry her. She declined the marriage.

She became the supporting pillar for her sisters’ and brother’s families. She earned sufficiently, but could not spend a pie for herself. Her relations have begged when she had money, ordered when they needed work, and ignored when she was in pain. Motherly love was also towards her money now; perhaps to see other kids happy at the expense of one.

She grew old with no friends and no love. She could not share her sorrow, and always wondered why people forget that she too is a human being. She felt like a money-churning machine that had no use once there is no output. Yes! She was incapable of earning now, and thus was not cared.

If you call it luck; the man who wanted to help her while she was young, sent his will to her. She now inherited a fortune, and relations came close again. However, by now her heart was broke. On the next morning, her relations could only find her in bed with the doctor confirming excessive dosage of sleeping pills; and a letter beside her, leaving the entire property to her family.

Luck is to have things when you need.
