Good Deed

This story, one of my friends told me in his own words

While travailing in UK we come to know that France is only 45 minute away from UK, so we decided Why not check this out, so we ring around and arrange the booking for France by road, good thing about travelling in these tow countries by road and ferry is this you can take your car with you by ferry, we wanted to travel in France so we took our car with us, we did not know that Paris is congested, and parking is more expensive than hotel, it good to see Paris on foot rather then in car, because here is so many places to see in close distance, some time car feel as burden,

We parked the car in meter area out side a restaurant, went I to restaurant, as we enter in it we saw QUALMAH written on the wall, which the prove that this is a Muslim restaurant, after salaam we set on chair and order our meal, owner of restaurant left his counter and came up to us, and ask where we from we told him we are from Pakistan, he asked us are we Muslim we say yes, he, hug us and well come us in Turkish language, he was very old man in his 80s with poor English, after having our food we asked him for bill he refuse to take any money, finding him a good man we asked him about our problem of car parking he said “don’t worry park your car here now it my responsibility” you go enjoy if want stay here I have one spare room upstairs” we thanked him for his favour

After roaming around beautiful Paris next day after noon we wen to old man restaurant, as soon as he saw us he jumped out of his chair and hug us, took us to back of his restaurant, after cup of tee he brought his IK TARA out and start singing song after song, until he started crying, anxiously, we asked him, what this all about, he said “I remember you and father, who fought ageist British, for Turkey, when British were braking the KHILAFAT E ATTMANIA, People of sub continent, only people stand up against British,” it reminded me KHILFAT MOVEMENT in past some where in 40s

A good deed always come back, even it is done by your father or forefather
