sometimes the greatest kind of love lies in the simplest kind of act.
I
was standing under a shade in a parking lot across a hospital. It was raining,
and I was cursing quietly because it started pouring before I could reach the
hospital. I had an umbrella, but still, the idea of crossing the street in such
a heavy rain ruined my mood. And oh, don’t forget the puddles and
splish-splashes that caused by the passing cars.
“Anyone
want to cross the street?” A voice of a woman interrupted my excessive
thoughts.
I
turned my head to look to who’s talking. A woman in her mid 40’s was standing
with a bright blue umbrella. She smiled. Offering to share her umbrella once
again.
I
looked around; there were some people who were sharing the same shelter with
me. Some of them didn’t bring their umbrella with them, but they shook their head
politely. Some of them—maybe as stunned as I am, were just glaring at the
woman.
“She
is the CEO,” my friend who was standing beside me whispered.
“CEO?”
I repeated.
“Anyone?
I still have some space under my umbrella that we can share,” The woman asked
for one more time until she’s sure that no one wanted to cross the street with
her.
“CEO
of the hospital,” she nodded towards the huge building that stands tall across
the street.
“Really?”
I stared at her back.
Wow.
It
was somehow warmed your heart on that cold weather.
I
looked at my own umbrella in my hand. How on earth that it never cross my mind
to share my umbrella to a stranger who wants to cross a street. Such a simple
kindness that can makes someone’s day.
But
maybe it’s just a human thing; how we usually forget that sometimes the
greatest kind of love lies in the simplest kind of act.
