I still remember my friend telling me that she didn't believe in true love.I was startled when she said that but then gave a second thought if what she said could be true.It was hard to believe such a statement as I've heard so many stories of so called true love but hadn't really experience them so often.If only she'd been there on that day in my position,she would have broke down due to her unexpected paradigm shift.
The incident is still fresh in my mind as if it happened yesterday.Such a heart-touching event it was,I still can't seem to forget the simple details surrounding that incident.I was standing there,by the door,breathing in some fresh air.It was so hot inside that the smell of grass blown by the wind seemed as soothing as it can ever be.I watched the rain drops fall one by one until I could count no more.I smiled blankly at nature unleashing it's power in the form of water as I always assumed that rain is a blessing from above.
Minutes later,a green car stopped by and a mother holding her baby ran out of the car,heading towards shelter.Then,the father followed with a bottle of water and a piece of white cloth.I couldn't get a clear view of what was going on at under the shed....just faint visions of a mother holding her baby in her hand.I watched from the distance as she wiped the barely-clothed baby with the white cloth.She kept on wetting the cloth and wiping the baby.I was surprised as I've never seen anything that odd before.
A few moments later,I saw something that made my heart stop temporarily.The baby was shaking,shivering....I'm not sure how to describe it.At once,I knew that the baby had some problem.I'm still wondering why didn't I react to help the baby.I was so stunned that I couldn't move.I could see what was happening.The mother was crying.The father was weeping as well.I had no idea what were they doing with the baby instead of taking him to the hospital.
At that moment,I knew I had to do something.I ran towards the couple and their baby.I watched as the baby shook in a weird manner.Luckily for me,another guy saw me running towards the baby and he followed me from behind.Another lucky thing is that the guy who followed me had gone through the same experience with his daughter.He instantly asked the couple to not waste any time and take the baby to the hospital as the baby's life could be in danger if he was not treated.
As the green car drove away,a guilty feeling swept through my heart.I knew I should have reacted earlier to help out but I just didn't know what to do.I couldn't watch the performances during my brother's concert happily because the same visions kept haunting my mind and my heart felt painful.The worst part was that it happened to a small,innocent baby.(I always have a soft spot for small children).Just before my brother's concert ended,I found out that the baby was safely admitted in the hospital.Relief................
More importantly,this incident showed me that true love does exist in this world.Maybe true love isn't something happening everyday in our life.I guess it reveals itself during the right time.I'm sure that you would have seen mothers crying when their children passed away but you would have never seen mothers who cry in love when their children are alive.Anyway,I think that's the beauty of true love.......................
