It was around 6:30 in the evening, 26th day of April 2012, when I am with my office mates in the night market after office hours eating "kwek2" (hard boiled egg surrounded with some colored flour in it) and having some chit chats bout what we did in the office. Somebody just caught my attention, a boy, a kid ages around 8-10 maybe. He was merely looking, staring to be exact at the "kwek2", I can see in his eyes that he wants to eat it. Seems like he's hoping and wishing to eat that stuff, but he can't 'coz he don't have that enough money maybe, that's why he just turned around and went to some places and started to beg or ask some penny and food to different people in other table. My heart just melt with what I saw and realized that night, without any hesitations, I rushed to find him again, that little boy who's not just caught my attention but captures my kind heart :), then I smiled and asked him "Do you want to eat kwek-kwek?" when he turned around, without any uttered word, he nodded. I smiled once again and told him "Come!". So, i brought him to our table, give him some kwek2, and there I found happiness in my heart that night.
I don't have that money much by that night, but I know in myself I can still give him some. Giving him the opportunity to eat that food was really an unexplained feeling for me. My heart just filled with so much happiness when I saw how eager he was to eat it.
I think it is always my nature, being a humanitarian one. Maybe because I came from a family that is willing to give help to some other people whenever they need hit, I admit, that we don't have that much in this world, but, as long as we can lend a hand, we do. That is me, not that perfect, but willing to lend a hand to those who are needed. :)
