Do Me a Favor, Don't Do Me Any Favor (मुझपे एक एहसान करना, कि मुझपे कोई एहसान मत करना)

Arpit was sitting by the road side. He was dying of thirst. There was no water tap close by. He didn't have the strength to get up & look for water. He didn't even have any money with him. Harshit saw him & ran to him with a water bottle. Arpit was highly grateful to Harshit. He thanked him for his kindness. Harshit helped him to get up and dropped him at his home.

Harshit's family & friends saw this all. And here begins the Game of Favor and Its Repayment. Harshit's family & friends started treating Arpit as their Bonded Laborer. Reason, "My Son Helped You.", "My Brother Saved You.", "My Husband Protected You.", "My Father Gave You a Helping Hand.", "My Friend is Your Savior." They all kept Using Arpit. Arpit kept Being Their Puppet. Reason, "I Owe My Life To Harshit.", "I have to Pay Back to His Family & Friends." Harshit was watching all this Silently. He was Happy to see this. But Arpit's children were not at all happy with all this.

Arpit had twins, a son & a daughter. One day, they called Harshit & requested him to let them meet him along with his whole family & friends. After greeting them all respectfully, they gave Harshit a Gift, a Big Carton. Harshit opened it excitedly. He was shocked to see inside. It had 24 Water Bottles, 1 L each. The siblings, with folded hands, said, "You helped our father with 1 Water Bottle. We are repaying your favor with these 24 Water Bottles. Please! Spare our father & let him live a Dignified Life, like a Dignified Human. And if possible, please don't ever do any favor to anyone in future. Good Bye Forever."

Favor is for a Moment, but its Debt is for Lifetime.
(एहसान एक पल का होता है, लेकिन उसका कर्ज़ा ज़िन्दगी भर का होता है।)
