The middle-aged man entered the palatial home through the back door!
He chose to climb the stairs to the second floor instead of taking the escalator!
He was fitness-conscious and religiously practiced yoga, meditation, and pranayama!
He followed strict diet control and spent considerable time upskilling his tech knowledge!
He knew the digital safety measures of this home like the back of his hand and had kept track of the occupant's movements!
Finding no soul around didn't surprise him and he walked towards the door with the Swastik symbol engraved!
Startled by the coughing sound from a nearby room, he cautiously entered to find an octogenarian left all alone in the palatial home!
The graceful lady gestured for a glass of water which was duly attended to by this man!
He pulled a chair close to the bed, gently held her hand, and began to recite a religious chant!
Deep within him, something stirred his consciousness, and he remained seated next to her bed for hours together!
He heard the main door opening and people entering with laughter sound carrying up to the room!
He waited for another hour for someone to pay a visit to this old woman's room!
Angered at the lack of concern with the people around, he exited the room and squarely addressed them in the dining room!
Confused to see a new face walking in barring the safety tech and speaking in a raised tone, the occupants demanded his identity!
In a calm voice, he said π I rob rich homes for the wealth but here in this home I found what I can't rob π
And that is "pure love"
Up there in the darkroom on the second floor where lies a woman who is left all alone
whose heart is worth more than the wealth stored in this home!
Whose love you have all missed for the sake of amassing wealth and thus wasted the good part of your lives!
The depth of truth in the stranger's words hit hard on the listener's mind and opened their heart to realize the real values of love and care!
Tears rolling, they all rushed to the second-floor room to be with the senior member of their loving home!
The stranger slowly and steadily walked out of the palatial home and remembered to toss a loaf of bread to feed the canine guarding the home!
His mind felt that π
"Robbing other's wealth is a crime and robbing others' health is the worst form of crime"
