She had lived a solitary life, with no family to call her own.
Her students had been her children.
But now, as she was nearing retirement,she was scared of the emptiness that would envelop her
She was out for her morning walk, with such melancholic thoughts
When there was a big ruckus behind some bushes
The stillness of morning air was pierced by a cry
And fierce barking of dogs that sounded like blood hounds
She quickly picked a big stick and some stones lying by
And ran as fast as her legs could take her,
What met her eyes was gruesome
Three dogs were attacking something wrapped in a cloth
From the sounds, she could make out it was a new born
It looked like someone had abandoned a newborn
Quickly overcoming her fear
She started throwing stones and making loud noises while attacking with sticks
The dogs weren’t going to back off easily
But she was determined
The commotion also attracted the attention of fellow walkers
And soon the dogs backed off and ran away
She quickly ran to the cloth
To find a badly bruised and battered baby
Looking at its condition
She felt as if her heart had been ripped out of its cage
She gathered the baby delicately and took him to the hospital
The doctor’s asked, “Is it your baby?”
With tears in her eyes and maternal love in her heart
She simply nodded in affirmative.
A woman is always a woman filled with deep emotions. God had already saved something good for us but we always get tensed before hand only.
Beautiful story Neha. It is all about love in our hearts which helps us and God gives us many reasons to be happy.
ohh wonderful Neha – good deeds always comes back in some way. That’s Karma
