**SEC17 WK:#5: caring for aged and dependent relatives in the family

Assalamualaikum, I hope you are all well and I am also well. First of i am thankfull to steemkids for organized such an amazing contest.

Very dear to me and very close to my heart, Baba who lives in our house.Those named Muhammad Arif are not our relatives but he have been with us from a long time and are very close to our hearts, they are more than our families.

His story is as follows: This Baba used to work with my father in Karachi.My father used to live in Karachi for business, so he used to work for him there and there and lived with him.

Muhammad Arif, who lives with us now, whom we call Baba, is 70 years old when he went to my father's place in Karachi, at that time he was 25 years old, he was go there for job . He used to join hands with my father in hus business at that time.

Before Baba came to us, my father used to live in Peshawar before joining the business and his mother, his father and his siblings were from Peshawar and he is from a very good family. He came to my father in connection with his job and left his home behind for his job, but after staying here for a long time, his family did not treat him well a After that, Baba's mother and father death.
After Baba's siblings got married, his siblings did not accept him in their family again.

Baba was also engaged before when he was living in Peshawar, his family had fixed their relationship in a very nice house, but due to some family issue, their relationship ended and after that when His brothers and sisters were already married, so his brothers did not want to keep him in his family, so he lived with my father in Karachi.

Then after some time my father had shifted his business to Sargodha and due to this Baba also had to shift there because his family was not ready to keep him completely which he used to cry a lot.
They were very sad because their own father had died and their mother had died, so their siblings did not treat them well at all, so my father thought that they were live in our house. When my father's business shifted here, he used to stay with us in our house.

When he came here, he was 55 years old, so he used to live with us and used to help us in the house work. But slowly he was getting very old and he wanted to be with his family. go back, but whenever they went, their families treated them very badly and were not at all ready to keep him, so they sent them back, so after that we Baba never left his side and always kept him close to us but he was very sad and used to tell us his old stories about his fiancee, his father and mother, his siblings and so much more. cried because he missed his family so much but his family didn't treat him well and didn't keep him.

No matter what we are doing but the truth never changes what is family is always family but we have given them much love like a our father and have always kept them like our father that's why We call him our Baba and I love him very much. Not part of the family but he is more than family to us and will always be to us but I love him very much and we have treated him like a our father.

All this has been very difficult for them and they have faced a lot of hardships in their lives. They met and we have the opportunity to serve them.
We are very grateful to our Lord that He considered us worthy to serve Him and keep them with us as part of our family.
