It was a late raining evening towards the edge of suburbs, an old tipsy man in a messy outfit scaled the steps leading to the small restaurant. He gave off an impression of being a real client who never missed a day to wine and dine at the spot. The solitary client was gradually trailed by the strings of others who all rushed in from the different places. His initial visit reverberated with a mood loaded with greetings, grins, and welcome. As the days multiplied so did the client. That resurrected the once-abandoned place which set aside no effort to grasp onto the flood of the most recent trends with the rising bend of the profit from this venture into a business.

The proprietor's business takes shots up at an astounding pace however his wisdom eye got dazed by ravenousness. Thereupon the elderly man continuously got stonewashed his significance and consideration from the proprietor. Furthermore, the old man was completely confronted with disdain which came shocking to himself within a brief length of duration. He was being condemned and slandered with the evil treatment subsequent to branding him as a spoiler in the scene and filth against the client's craving. Continuously, he was being sought after with apparent inconsiderateness.

Against all the odds, the old man  maintained his calmness to endure all the criticism. Never did he move in a split second from the scene after such ill attacks yet followed his normal pace to leave the place and vanished through the hedges.

Following a couple of days after the fact the café proprietor got a call from an unknown number. On the opposite end was a specialist from the clinic who turned out to be the proprietor’s own brother and the old man happened to be their father.  The doctor discovered the old man’s details when the he was admitted to the hospital through the trace of biological information at the time of medication.

The proprietor, whose name and his business being talked everywhere was put to the absolute stun, wasted no time, no sooner did he hear that news to meet his since a long time ago deserted father. Usually, the parent-children get-together should be an exciting and happy moment but theirs was besieged by sadness. In the last hours, the proprietor of the famous café uncovered the filthy man’s intent for being an everyday customer. It was to help him after learning about his poor business in the town. The huge customer base is the legacy laid by an old man reaching each day a new client to the café which shot up to its prominence in the region.

Beneath the poor coat, the old man carried rich heart and it brewed lament in the eyes of son.
