Albert Stewart couldn't believe at all when his name was announced in convocation for being honoured to get the highest ranking in graduation from science stream.
Why shouldn't it be so? He was remained under someone special who was none but his uncle Mr. Roger Ben.
Mr. Ben who was also his teacher and had been teaching in the school Since his childhood. His uncle was everything to him even being regarded more than his family. Why it was that he spent most of his precious years of his life at uncle's home. He remembered all the thing till now. Why his parents gave him all the responsibility. He was an extra ordinary teacher. Teaching his students pragmatically was his speciality. He had taught a number of students like Albert moreover every student of his was able to get proper knowledge and guidance and reach the ultimate goal of his career.
He was becoming so excited on thinking that what would happen to Mr. Ben when he would come to know about his achievement.
He just opened the door of his room, his gaze covered the whole of it. Albert put his degree and medal on table suddenly found something on his table........ A letter. It was just received a day before, sent by his uncle Ben. Albert began to read it again and a smile floated on his face on seeing a name.It was a call from his uncle so he got ready to follow his call now he was finding the journey of the way very pleasant.
After sometime Albert reached his school and put up a smile on his face as uncle Ben was teaching science to his students in the front class. Albert found him in his usual way as he always was engrossed while teaching he thought may be Mr. Ben would see him once or twice but it was useless for him to think so. Now Albert was made to sit outside the classroom by the peon Albert couldn't measure how much he himself regarded him that's why coming Uncle Ben's school before reaching to his own home was his first priority. Albert sometimes sat and walked in the corridor having kept waiting for the moment of his coming. The thing he knew that Mr. Ben couldn't be disturbed while taking class. Albert kept thinking while waiting and all the pictures and memories of his childhood got refresh in his mind how he filled him with enthusiasm and taught during his study period. All the things were told by giving him pragmatically.
Suddenly the web of his memories was just broken as he saw Mr. Ben was coming towards him with a slight smile on his face. He never showed tiredness on his face because of his soul was as fresh as ever and it became refreshing for all the person all around him.
The very moment Mr. Ben came closer to Albert and Albert kept watching his gentle face by that always fuelled his enthusiasm.
"How are you? Albert".
"If I am not wrong you have completed your graduation" asked Mr.Ben.
"Yes my uncle and here now here I am."
"As soon as I received your call I had to come here however I would have surely come here if had not been received any call."
"Sounds good, My dear son."
" And you would know why I called you immediately."
" Have some patience " urged Mr Ben. " I want you to take your last lesson." Mr. Ben said it in a explicable manner.
On hearing it Albert curiosity reached at its highest point.
" which lesson of mine are we left with?"
Albert asked himself.
It was an extra ordinary moment.
"Ok! my dear uncle he replied with eagerness.
" Come at sharp 2 o'clock at my home where I always keep taking extra classes of my students."
"Sure my uncle."
" See you soon there."
And Albert Departed from there and a bunch of thoughts started colliding his mind.
" What type of lesson was left, As far As I remember all the lessons would be learnt."
" I felt that he would ask about my achievement and would be very delighted to know how much remarkable achievement I got after knowing this he would give me all suggestions for my upcoming future." Albert's mind became heavier with all these thoughts.
He started trying to relax his mind and his steps were moving towards house.
" Albert " suddenly a familiar voice reached his ears. He raised his head and looked his parents' smiling face that was enough to give relief out of it. Albert reached his place and found his parents, Mr Alex Stewart and Mary Stewart, were waiting to embrace and congratulated him on his success. Albert also put a smile on his face but his heart was still discontented as if he got nothing. He wanted nothing except his uncle's appreciation Albert was refreshed in body but not in mind. "Albert! my son." called his mother.
" Yes Mom " Albert replied with a heavy heart.
" Come and take dinner. I have prepared your favourite dishes."
Albert didn't have any intention to refuse her proposal so he took dinner but not with his own wish. His parents tried to know what had happened to him but couldn't find the answer.
After taking dinner he went on bed and began to think sometimes even after getting everything you got nothing.
This feeling struck his mind over and over again. The sleep was far away from his eyes eventually his eyes became heavy with sleep.
The next day he was awakened with sun's rays were touching his face and was hearing Birds chirping.
He saw watch beside this bed. It was sharp 6 o'clock. The time passed and he got ready and made up his mind to learn the last lesson of his life from his ideal.
As the very time came Albert reached before the time of his class.
Uncle Ben was already taking a class of three other students Roger, Smith and Simon.
" Come my son and join our class." Albert greeted him and said beside the third student Simon.
His heart was beating with curiosity as his class about the last lesson was going to start.
" Let's start your last lesson.
Albert I just want to know."
" Is there anything in me that you want to complain about? "
Albert said "No, my dear uncle."
" You are my ideal and perfect in every respect."
" Just try to remember and give its answer. Not just thinking about your emotions but with truthfulness. I am sure you will find it."
Albert began to think and got the answer.
" yes my uncle." " your writing."
" My writing......Oh yes!!!! my writing. Now let me know about my writing." Uncle Ben said putting a smile on his face.
" your writing is too fast to understand."
" Sometimes unreadable."
"Yes my dear that is the answer I wanted to know."
" Do you know why?"
" I think No it is just because of your habit."
" Of course not my dear. There is a strong reason behind it.
"Now let me know my uncle." Albert Express himself to know it.
"Ok!!! Do you already know there has been a research sometimes ago. your mind controls your muscles and your writing is nothing but a coordination between your mind and muscles if your writing is too fast it means your mind works very faster. Your mind orders your muscles in the same way and was full of thoughts. In other words the conclusion is your Minds orders and controls your muscles." Albert got understood that this is the last lesson of mine but amazed as he was already told by uncle.
"Now Albert have you understood why my writing is too fast?"
"Of course ! uncle. And finally I got my answer and completed my last lesson." Albert said satisfactorily.
" No my dear. Your last lesson hasn't been completed yet?"
Meanwhile one of the three students, Simon stood up, started asking a question of previous class. Mr. Ben made him understood but Simon didn't satisfy.
He asked Mr Ben again and again now Mr. Ben was irritated and furious but there was no effect on Simon. He insisted him without any break.
All of a sudden Mr Ben slapped Simon. Everybody got shocked and Mr. Ben ordered all of three students to get out.
Albert was also nervous on seeing this type of behaviour of Mr. Ben. He never ever expected him to do so but he chose to keep mum since then all of Three Students had left the place.
"So my dear this is the last lesson of yours."
" Sorry uncle I couldn't understand."
"What have you observed from this incident and how would you connect my previous lecture about the coordination between mind and muscles which was scientifically proved.
Albert tried but couldn't find the answer.
" Albert according to science mind control muscles but when I became angry the same mind couldn't control the same muscles because when my anger and ego controlled my mind and all the theories of Science end here. However I can't consider myself wrong in spite of knowing all theories and facts of science. So in the world we choose and consider action wrong or right according to our priority.
Here we don't accept the theory of science. We choose our ego, anger, selfishness over it.
This is the reality of living life and bitter truth.
So that is the last lesson of yours."
Albert kept watching him astonishingly as he got all the answers of his questions.
And the other day that three students were taking the class and Simon stood up and asked
"Now tell me why you have insisted me to ask that question again and again in that class in front of Albert?"
" I will also tell this thing to all of you when the right time comes to know your last lesson my dear students."
" By the way so sorry for the slap my dear Simon."
Mr. Ben smiled saying this.
