A sunny day full of dust, road crowd with people around, I saw a girl fallen down blooded and people lifting her to an ambulance, taking to the hospital. Seeing the incident, I was worried about her health and pray for her speedy recovery. My grandson was asking me who is she, I replied an Angel send by god. He was curious to know more about her.
I tell my grand son, It about 12 years back, We (me and your father) were sitting beside a street at that time your grandmother left us due to serious illness you father was very small. My son stomach was paining, tears coming out of eyes asking for a food. We were begging infront of people for help, I noticed a girl coming to us. I didn't realize that it would be a turning point for our life. She had just looked at my son and opened her bag, shared a tiffin box infront of him. He was very happy to have the food. She said everything will be all right believe in you, god is with us. And walk away to her school. I appreciate her kindness and welbeing culture, understand that she might be from a good family. I said to My son "you know that I can't work and your bad luck is all because of me". My Son wipping the tears of mine and said everything will be all right..
Next fine morning, an neat dressed gentleman stopped his car infront of our road side sitting area, coming out of car closer to us. He asked about our living and family details, I replied to him about the accident and my disability. Seeing the basic quality and education, he had offered a security job at his flat. Informed me to join tomorrow by sharing a address card. Seeing the card, my eyes shine, happy tears coming out of my eyes. I alway thing of my son, you should be a great man one day like this.
Next day, I started the security job at the flat address given by gentleman. I earn few money as a monthly salary. My son was admited to a near by school and send daily to school. We got a new life and our expense is adjusted every month. Later I came to know that this gentleman was her father, she recommend me to this job. One day she was going for a walk, she came to me and asked about "How is your life going and also asked about my son education? She talk about her and spend time with us.
But one bad day, I had to leave the job due to complain from dwellers, they blamed that I am spoiling the flatmates children's. So we left the place and came to same location. Next day she (Angel) knew the incident meet us the same location. Seeing us her tears came out, she said "Iam sorry"! Sat for while and then sharing tiffin box and just left us. While going to home she things, I should do something for them.
After a while she came to us and handover some money to start a street vendor business selling flower, I hesitate to take the help, but she insisted to take looking at my son face and said "recall the promise given by your wife". I handed the money for a good start. We were very happy and prosperous. Me, my son listen to her talk and was inspiring. I used to thing that "at small age she talks about big things". After a long time, happily, she left the place. My son said to me, "I thing my mother send her in our difficult time". I hugged him and said "yes she is an Angel for us". Again my son said she help many I got to know from schoolmates and friends.
I said sit here tell me about her. My son said she is the only child of my school teacher (gentleman) her mother died when the Angel was small. I reply "Prays the lord" Then my son said she missed her mother but the teacher(gentleman) fulfilled all her dream. Then I replied my son iam sorry for our condition. My son replied "No dad you are my lucky dad, one day you will fell proud of me" I replied "Thank you my son. Son then said she has good skill of painting, with the help of teacher, she sell many paintings and earned much money. I said this might be her hard work collection. Son said she is known by everyone near by areas due to her simple leaving and helping nature. From other I heard that she had some problem, but never shared infront of other. She never like to make other unhappy from any bad news.
Present day, I and my grand son rushed to hospital. I was shivering and sweating of fear, lips praying for her. Waiting out side the room, I saw the real humanity. Many people like us were waiting outside for her speedy recovery. I had heard many thing about the little angel. After few hours doctor came out and said "She is no more". Moment the doctor speaked out, I fallen down and feel conscious.
Next day I opened the eyes, first speak about the Angel. Doctor said relax and you are recovering. I moved out of the hospital and recall the flat where I worked. Reaching the nearby flat and started asking about the Angel and her family living in the flat. I ran to the flat ringing each rooms of the flat. Got the news that No family as such leaved in this flat. I couldn't believe for a minute and wandered here and there. Just after a few minutes, taking a deep breath I had recall a Word from the Angel that "You are loved by God, believe in you". That moment I realized that God is in us, Just realize and experience it. Good things take time, on the journey you might fall down just need to rise and move and ahead.
Moral: We should teach good things to others and help them to grow.
Believe in You!!
