@IffatHasanRizvi I agree, but why would a sensible person invest their life savings in a project on a river's edge? Sadly, they now face the repercussions.

So you failed. It’s not the end of the world. Have a good cry if need be. Let it all out. Then get up again. Just don’t take too long to pull yourself together. Satan is too smart for you to stay too long in the mess. Seek your strength from the Almighty and move on.
