Chương 2: Struggles of Suresh (Part - 2)

Then I proceed to open their car's hood. The car was a white BMW X3. This was a new model, so I had no idea what was wrong with the car as they are quite reliable. The engine was new, "Sir was your car has been to servicing recently" I asked the man. He said " yes I regularly service the car, so it remains in top most condition". "But this service may have been a bad one to have your car break" I quipped. "Yeah it migt have been, so did you find anything wrong in there" be asked. I took a look at the whole engine but every thing was well oiled and belts were in correct places, so I was having hard time to identify the problem. Then it came to my mind that it can be a battery related one, so I proceeded to look at the battery pack. When I plugged out  the connection plug between battery and engine, it was coverd with black soot. " This was the problem sir, it is qute reckless of your service man to make such a rookie mistake" I said to the man as he was peering down the engine with me. "Thanks young man, you truly saved us from an inconvenient situation. So can you fix it or do we need any mechanic here" he praised and asked me. " Sir I can do this but I will need a piece of cloth to clean the soot" I said to the man. The man then went to the car and brought a cloth and gave it to me, "here you go man". I took the cloth and cleaned the plug and then inserted it in the battery, "ok sir the may be fixed now, please start the car to check". Then the man started the car and it started, he was very happy and his wife seemed relieved. Then the man asked "what is your name young man". "My name is Suresh sir" I replied to him. He came out of car and asked me, " what job am I doing". I was not sure should I tell the person I just met like 30 minutes ago but thought it would be better just to tell him truth, " my name is Suresh sir and I am an orphan, sir I just do odd jobs around the hotels like washing utensils and cleaning the rooms,floors and tables". After the man heard this his face became somber and the lady also had some pity in her eyes for me. The man said, "you seem very young I would guess your age to be around 18 to 20". "Yes sir I am currently around 18 years of age" I replied.
