Facing Death With Courage
Mohammed was pacing around the room. He looked at both of them as he continued to pace, and said, “Do not argue with me on this point, Ali. I must do what I can to help the nation and our people. I know what I am doing.”
Ali thought it to be his moral duty to apprise Mohammed of the dangers that lay ahead. “It will be dangerous. It could cost us anything and everything.”
Mohammed, in a voice reflecting confidence, said, “Danger and I are old friends. I have taken this decision after thinking a lot. There is no other way to stop all this.”
Kelly walked up to Mohammed and stood in front of him. She held on to his left arm and said, “Mohammed, this is life and death!”
“I’ve lived a good life. A man of my years can either live in fear of death or face it with courage, and it is time to face it with courage. I cannot escape my responsibilities any longer. I have tried doing things my way, but that does not seem to be working. We need some quick results.”
Ali was happy to have his friend with him. The trio was back together. This rejuvenated their strength and commitment towards their mission. “Then we shall face it together,” said Ali.
