"Nahid, isn't your delivery finished yet? When will you return home?"
Maria said in a slightly annoyed voice, everything was clearly heard.
"If you make one more delivery, I can come home. I have no more strength in my body. Everything seems to have gone numb now. I am very tired in this sun." Nahid said on the phone, sighing a lot after leaving his bike on the side of the road.
"If you do it this way, we will no longer have to pay the house rent. Look, if you get more orders, it will be better. The owner of the house came and told me that he will have to pay the house rent in two days," Maria said quite forcefully.
Nahid became quite silent. There was no more word on his mouth. He went under a tree on the side of the road, then went there and sat on his bike. He saw a water tap in front of him. He went there. Then he took a bottle of water and drank it. It was as if this water had come from heaven. He felt a light sleep in his eyes, as if he would fall asleep here. Let's see a little more, he sat down, thinking.
When Nahid and Maria got married outside the family home, they thought they would work and run the family. Nahid came to the city to do delivery work. He took advice from various people about what kind of work to do. They advised him to do delivery. He thought that doing delivery work would be good for him. But later it turned out to be quite difficult.
It became quite difficult for him to run his family if he did not make about 20 to 25 deliveries every day. On top of that, the physical work was free.
"If your body is bad today, then I will have to be by your side," Maria said in a low voice.
"Look carefully, if you get some more orders today, maybe we can pay the rent."
Nahid felt a little better at his wife's words.
"You may not understand that your body is very bad. My hands and feet are shaking," Nahid.
"Do you think I don't understand you? The landlord uncle has been coming for several days now. If we don't pay the rent today, he might kick us out of the house tomorrow," Maria said.
Nahid's chest felt a little shaky. In fact, the current expenses are increasing so much day by day, and running a family has become a very bad situation. Without a good amount of money, it seems like the family can't move forward.
"You put the phone down now. Let's see if I can get an order on the phone," Nahid said breathlessly.
But he couldn't make a decision. Should he take this decision and order again now?
He talked to his wife and started the mobile delivery apps. Then he saw that there was an order far away, but it was a bit far from the city. In his head, it seemed like two people were saying.
One was saying, "You need money now, so you have to take the order."
Another was saying, "My body condition is very bad now, it's better not to take the order. It's been a long time and it's better not to take it."
In his indecision, the mobile rang again. On it was his beloved wife's name. What else could he do? He picked up the call.
"What's the news? Have you received any new orders yet?" Maria asked.
"I received an order, but it's a bit far. But my body doesn't want to go," Nahid.
"What's the matter now, thinking about your body? I don't know what you'll do, I want my money by today," Maria's face was full of annoyance.
Nahid's eyes were filled with annoyance and fatigue.
"Listen to me Maria. I have no strength in my body and I am doing so much for you and my children. You have to think about it carefully. What will you do if something happens to me?"
The little boy took the phone from his mother and said, "Dad, bring me food and bring chocolate for my sister."
Maria took the phone from her son again.
"Just like you are working outside, I also have to handle a lot of things at home. You have to understand that, Nahid," Maria said angrily.
Nahid got very angry then. I couldn't understand anything that was going on in his mind. After a while, he cooled down and thought that his wife had said everything right. If there was no money, none of us would stand by her side.
He kicked his bike with his tired body. It seemed that the weather had become quite cold around him in the evening. The sound of car horns on the road was all around.
He started riding his motorcycle towards his destination again. A different power had awakened in her mind since hearing her son's voice.
Nahid said to herself, "What will happen today? Let's see if my own life passes."
Almost an hour passed.
"Are you going home or doing something? I don't understand anything," Maria said, relaxing a bit.
"I can't anymore, I thought there was no order. And please try to understand a little," Nahid.
"Your decision is very relevant to evicting our landlord. You don't seem to be trying to understand me at all, I can't explain it to you," Mariam.
"I don't know what you will do, but I hope you can collect the rent by tomorrow, the rest is your decision." Maria said again.
Nahid let out a breath and looked at the sky for a while. His hands and feet started to twitch again. He stopped his car again.
I realized that it wouldn't be possible for him anymore. Nahid canceled the order immediately.
"Maria," Nahid said in a tired voice,
" I might get another new order tomorrow, I have to survive today. If I don't survive today, I won't be able to do anything tomorrow. What will happen if I stay here extended? Have you thought about it?"
Now Mariam might have understood a little.
Maria said, "Okay, you come back home. You don't need to take any more orders today."
Nahid felt a little relieved. He filled his bike with oil and
started on his way home.
A little air was flowing into his mouth through her helmet, as if it was nectar. His body parts felt good again. He knew he might not be able to pay the rent to the landlord tomorrow, but his survival was more important in his life than paying the rent.
This choice or this decision of his brought him back to a new life where he could spend the night with his family.

Kind Regards
This story really shows the struggle between survival and responsibility. I felt Nahid’s exhaustion so clearly, especially when he sat under the tree drinking water. Sometimes health must come first, because without strength, no duty can be fulfilled.
Thank you so much.
Marriage is not an easy thing. I wish Nahid could save up and get a work for his wife. You cannot take the responsibility of a whole family on your head alone.
Thank you so much.
Delivery Job is not an easy one. Regardless people still do it because it is an honest way to put food on the table
