It was being long time ago, a simple family was living in an ordinary house in one of the most popular, crowded areas in the city. The family was composed of ten people: an old illiterate mother, two boys of different ages, and seven girls. The only person, who was obliged to work hard, was the father. So, he was always out to look for everything his family needs. Here, the responsibility was more harder than other fathers. The dad found himself obliged to double his efforts so as to satisfy his extended family. For sure, he did. One day, when the father was coming back from his work as a cattle trader, he was told that his wife was given another new male baby. Without hesitation, the father showed his happiness as this new comer would be the third son after having six daughters before. The mother also did not hide her joy as boys always represent strength for the mothers' mentality in the past. In the opposite, the elder brothers and sisters, who were against the pregnancy from the very start. Month after month, the new baby was growing up normally until the sixth month, exactly one Saturday morning, a strange man knocked at the family door. The mother's steps were very slow as if she had already felt something bad happened. She opened the door, immediately the man said:" you husband passed away." Without any preparations.
The mother asked:"how?" The man answered:" it was a terrible accident nearby."
The mother fainted in the same place. The other brothers and sisters ran away to make sure of this catastrophic news. After a while, all arrived at the accident's place, they found their father and the only family supporter laid on the ground without any movement or a chance of being alive. They started touching, asking, and hugging him in vain he had already left this life.
One day later, the funeral took place on the family house, but the new baby was there without any capacity to understand what was going on around him.
Years after others, the baby reached the fifth year. The mothe took him to the Kuranic school, where he showed a lot if wigs of intelligence. He used to learn verses of the Kuran quickly, recitate them easily , and help the other pupils happily. In the same time, the only illiterate mother was suffering a lot because she found herself obliged to do all the hisband's tasks.
Doing all the chores inside the house and looking for incomes outside it.
In 1980s, life was a little hard for a woman who had lost her husband and got ten children in the same time. All of them were still studying. Some were at the university, others in secondary school, some were in the middle one, and I had just started my first year in the primary school.
