❝ I had gone to Domino's to buy myself a taco! While I was standing
at the counter and placing my order I saw two little hands trying to
find their way through the crowd to get their order which had just
gotten ready.
I was in a hurry so I quickly placed my order and
being told to wait for 15 minutes I started looking for a chair in the
jam packed place that Domino's becomes on Sundays. I was unable to find
any when I suddenly saw 1 chair empty at a table where these two were
happily chatting and having their pizza. I asked them if I could sit
there and Tuqlaq (the child on the right) was quick to smilingly say,
"haan didi aap beth jaiye".
I sat there, took out my phone in a bid to pass some time and not even a
minute had passed when these two paused eating and pushed that small
pizza before me and asked "didi aap bi khaoge?" Sigh!
It was
just overwhelming. I was so deeply touched. I got to know that Tuglaq
and Kasim had been saving money since the past few MONTHS to have this
tiny pizza which they confessed that they absolutely loved.. I couldn't
help but think that in-spite of the fact that they are so hunger
stricken, they don't know me, have just this 1 small pizza to share
amongst BOTH of them for which they have been saving since such a long
time, these kids had a heart to share it with me. They might not have a
big pocket like many of us but they had a really big heart.
I
told them to keep having their pizza and hold on with their funny
stories ,which they were telling me and I just got up, (recollecting
that these two, while taking their order, had asked the price of a choco
mousse but having counted their money they had realised that they
didn't have enough of it and had walked away)
I went to the counter, bought that tasty choco mousse and gave it to them.
I went to the counter, bought that tasty choco mousse and gave it to them.
The smile on their faces was just inexplicable and their mouths didn't stop even for a second then until that thing got over.
Some beautiful things happen in the most unexpected times with the most unexpected people!❞
