A man named Bahu lived in a peaceful village on the border of a forest. He was very well-known for being kind, friendly, and full of potential. However, Bahu also had a unique habit of saying, "I will go tomorrow," whenever someone asked him to do something so important or anything less important.

His father once told him, "There's a movie theater just outside town." incredibly well-known. Ideal for purchasing and making money. While it's still available, go take it.

“I will go tomorrow Father,” Bahu said. Every day, he said he would go tomorrow, but he never did.

Another offer he got from his friend to join the Air Force and move to the city, where there were plenty of jobs and opportunities.

Bahu confirmed to his friend, "I'll definitely go with you by tomorrow."

Years passed. Another person took the theater. The caravan friend left and never returned. Bahu remained in the village, still quite young, but gradually becoming a man who had lost his opportunities.

One day, a neighbor knocked on his door, who was a good friend too, called Kaven, and was in a very bad condition. "Bahu, my condition is getting worse day by day. You are a very good person and intelligent, too. Can we start a partnership and start a business and leave here?"

Bahu smiled and said, "I will definitely go with you tomorrow, but now please take some money from me and start planning."

But the next day, when his friend was waiting for him at the bus counter, Bahu did not come. That day, he fell asleep. Then, he forgot.

Like sand through fingers, the years passed. Far away, his friend achieved success. The doors shut one by one, but Bahu waited. "Tomorrow," he reminded himself. Tomorrow is always an option.

Bahu eventually became elderly. His back hurt. His eyes grew dimmer. The weird stranger who never departed was the subject of whispered stories from the village youngsters. The man was immortalized, a kind of myth.

However, something changed one morning.

His door was knocked on by a youngster. A city stranger with brilliant eyes. "You're Bahu?" he inquired.

The elderly guy surprisingly answered, "I am."

"I've been trying to find you. You didn't go with my grandfather, who was your friend. This is what he left you before he died.

The young man gave Bahu a small, torn leather bag. Inside was a letter and a key.

According to the letter, "You always say 'tomorrow'. So here it is. The company I founded and helped you build, you now own. For all these years, I've put your name on it. If you still have a fire inside you, it's not too late. Press the key. Do it now."

Bahu remained still for a moment. Then he slowly packed a bag, trembling.

He muttered to himself, "I'll go today," for the first time in his life.

And he left.

He moved to the city. Like the company, he needed repairs. While working with a friend's grandson, he restored not only the shop but also the boy's purpose. People were incredulous. Finally, the man who had been waiting for tomorrow arrived today.

Bahu became a mentor to the younger generation, sharing his story with them with gratitude instead of sadness. Because after all the time he wasted, he discovered the most important truth:

As long as you are willing to start, it is never too late. It is often possible to do good even if you start late. Everything is good for him who has a good ending.
