The aroma of
a freshly cooked bread omelet made him stand for a while .
It reminded him
of home , where his mother awaited , with sunken eyes for her son to arrive .
There was
someone else with him who was also looking at the fuming hot pan with greedy
eyes and those eyes didn’t speak of memories but something more pragmatic about
life “hunger”.
In a second
he recognized that look which resembled one of his own during those old days of
struggle when he had sufficient hunger in stomach but insufficient money in pocket
, to satisfy it.
Before
boarding the bus he handed over money to the shopkeeper asking him to serve the
little urchin with a plate of bread omelet and smiled to himself for being
blessed enough to fulfill someone else's wishes today .

That was such a sweet gesture! I really liked the story!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this as well however I feel he did the nice deed to simply feel good about himself, which absolutely mirrors life. Many people are more worried about how good it feels to help someone else than to JUST helping someone.
