In the countryside
of Australia was a small town called Berkish. Berkish was not so much developed
compared to other cities of Australia but it had all necessities for people to
survive. The climate remained cool and calm and the street used to remain quiet.
Many people had migrated from that town in search of better opportunities.
People don’t use bother anyone else in that town and were living by themselves
and were passing their days. On one side of the town was a large field and in
the center of it was a small house. Not big enough to for a large family but
livable enough for two people. The field was large enough to land a plane in
it. It was spread across miles of land. No crop was growing in that field and
it had a large well.
On the balcony of
that house was sitting a man who was looking at the sky glazing at the clouds
and the birds and was wondering about the problem in which he had landed
himself into.
Simon was a
middle-aged man into his late forties, and he was a pilot. The house and the
state were the ancestral property of his family and he just came back to it a
few weeks back. When he was five years old his father along with the family had
left the town as there was a water issue in that town and no crop could grow
due to it. Thereafter Simon along with his parents and an elder brother
migrated to the big city of Australia.
Simon did his
higher studies at Weston University which was in Hemon. Hemon was one of the
well-developed cities of Australia. At the age of twenty-five, he became a
pilot and by the time he reached thirty, he was well settled and happy. He
didn’t have many friends and he hadn’t talked to his brother since their
parents’ demise and used to remain alone most of the time. He was happy with
that and was enjoying his life. To pass the time he use to go to a nearby club
for drinks and food. It was a famous club and many tourists visited that club.
One day when he was
enjoying his food in that club, he listened to two people talking about the new
private casino which has recently opened into their city. Simon always wanted
to visit a casino but didn’t have time to visit one due to his busy schedule
and there was no casino in his city. So couldn’t hold himself but asked the two
strangers about the location of the new casino. Little he had known that was
all the part of a master plan.
The two strangers
had greeted Simon politely and asked him to join them. They told him about all
the facilities and entry prices of that casino. They befriended him and told
him that they are planning to go tomorrow and Simon can join them if he is free
tomorrow. Simon never went to the casino so as it was his first experience he
agreed.
The next day Simon
along with his new friends went to the casino. The casino was in a lavish
property and very few people were to be seen. They went inside a private poker
room and started playing. Simon first played with a few dollars and by the time
he started increasing his bet as he was winning, which is what the strangers
had always wanted from the start. They were deliberately letting him win the
game.
Within a few
months, he became a regular member of that casino. He use to take leaves from
his office and use to visit the casino and stay there for the day. He started
betting huge amounts as he had loosed only a few times. One day when he was
gambling he decided to bet all the winnings which he had won so far. The
strangers saw this as a chance and defeated him in that game with the help of
other players. The casino and the environment were a setup for Simon and all
his winnings were a part of their plan. But why?? What they want from him was
still a question??
Simon after losing
his months winning was very sad. He couldn’t sleep at night thinking about what
he had done wrong and how to get that money back. He was chatting about this
with his new friends. He told them that those winning were much higher than all
his life savings and even if he plans to bet with his savings, he couldn’t win
that amount in a single game. That is when one of the strangers told Simon that
he knew one man who could let him any amount of money. But he told him why you
don’t take five or six-time your savings amount and win for the last time. That
amount will be such huge that you can live your lavishly. Simon liked the idea
as he badly wanted to win that lost money and his experience with the casino
was also good.
After a few days,
Simon took five million dollars from that stranger and promised to return it
with interest. When he visited the casino, he couldn’t see anyone there that
day. He found it a little bit strange but continued walking to the playing
area. That day in that casino Simon lost all his life savings and was in huge
debt under a stranger.
He was not able to
grasp that situation and was completely lost. The next day when he woke up, he
heard his doorbell ringing. When he opened the door there, he saw two tall and
bald people who with force entered the house and were asking to return the
money with interest which he took from their boss.
Simon begged them
for forgiveness and told them that he would return that money to them in time.
But the strangers took to him to their boss. The boss asked Simon to hijack a
plane for him and do as instructed by his men. They were terrorists and from
the start needed Simon to hijack a plane as he was a trained pilot. So now he
was in a debt trap. They told him to go to his house and wait for their further
instructions. When Simon came back home he packed his bags and to hide from his
lenders he went to his ancestral property.
At present when
Simon was sitting on the balcony thinking about all this, he saw two black big
vehicles coming towards him. They were known other than the terrorist. Simon
tried to hide but they found him and told him that if he tries to run again,
they will kill him. They told Simon about their plan and which plan they want
to him hijack, plane number, its new destination to land, how to tackle
security, and everything.
The day came when
this plan needs to be executed. Simon was nervous and terrified, but he
smoothly boarded the flight. The plan was to capture one of the flight
attendants with the help of a gun and take control of the plane's cockpit in
exchange for the attendant’s life. But destiny had other plans.
When the flight was
in the mid-air the pilot had a heart attack and the plane was too big to be
handled by a single co-pilot. When the co-pilot announced the situation to
others, everyone in that plane got terrified including Simon. Simon first
wanted to save his life so he showed his pilot license to the co-pilot and helped
him to land the plane in the nearby airstrip. Simon saw the situation as a
signal from God. After landing he told about his situation to the police and
all the incident which has happened with him and now with help of Simon police
is trying to locate that terrorist. Simon's pilot license was snatched from him
but know he didn’t have to face those terrorists and risk the lives of others.
He might have to go to jail for some time as well because he illegally took a
gun with him on the flight. But he will be rewarded to save the lives of
passengers traveling on that plane.
Moral: Gambling is an
addiction that has destroyed many lives. Play it carefully and don’t let it
take control of you. Gamble only that amount of money which you can afford to
lose. Whatever the situation maybe just try to keep your mind cool and try to
find a legal way to get out of it.
