The Gift!
I have never been this happy in life after i came to USA as i am today!
I have a gud friend in my place of work. Her name is Vashti. She is an Afro-American about 27 years old. She is a little mentally challenged person. She is very sweet and lovable. I knew that she was very fond of me. This morning i went to work at 10.30. I got ready to go for a break at abt 12 and suddenly she came in and put a plastic bag in my hand and said "Thats my new year gift to you" and she left. I sat down and opened the nicely wrapped up present inside the bag. I was so astonished when i saw what was inside.
It was a bracelet. It was a ruby and a diamond bracelet. I am sure it costs more than 100$ as it was bought from Elder-Beerman. I was so upset that i left work and came home at 12.30. I felt like talking to someone so i called Amma. But i guess she slept. No one picked up the fone. I called Ashwin. He was busy too. I thought this was the best way to let out my feelings.
There have been so many times when i saved money for doing nothing after i reached this place. But now i feel so bad about it. I earn 7$ an hour. She earns 8$ an hour. And i know for sure that she could never afford to buy this without having had to sacrifice some of her needs as it has costed her a fortune. I felt so upset abt it. I felt soooo loved by someone after a real long time. I felt very sad when i thought abt the various assholes who have made my life miserable after i came here. God has made this Girl mentally handicapped and has given her so much love to share with others while he has made the others sound and strong and given them a heart full of shit. I am so happy about the gift. But very sorry abt the fact that she has spent so much on me.
It is truly a gift to be loved by someone. And when this someone is this special, i cant help being proud about the fact that she thinks i am loveable too. And i definitely would have been very happy even if it were a small present as it came from her. I truly did learn something from her today. I learned not to see the money or the ruby or the diamond in the gift. I learned to see the love and the sacrifice behind it. I learned to see the hours of hard work she has put in to buy it. I learned to see God in the form of loved ones.
I hope she is blessed by God with whatever she wants in life. I am very happy today. Very very very happy that i am not able to think of anything else except her love for me. I feel blessed.
