Short Story of Love: ----------------------------- Few years back I had to go abroad for better job prospects. My parents didnt like the idea but let me go with a heavy heart for my future. I had to go for few years but I assured them to come every few months and see them. I couldnt keep my promise due to job pressure. Time flew fast and it was almost one and half year since I came back home. Finally I got a chance and I informed my parents that I am returning home. Obviously they were overjoyed to hear it and eagerly waited for the day of my arrival. I landed at the airport and collected my luggage. As I was walking towards the EXIT gate I saw my parents waiting for me behind the railing, holding the steel bar, with tears in their eyes and eagerness to hug me. That moment, I stood there and it took me back to my childhood when my mother used to leave me in my cot bed and I used to eagerly wait for her, holding the bar on my bed to come and pick me up. I used to feel scared after few minutes and start to cry, feeling she left me alone. When she would finally come to pick me up I felt secured and eagerly hug her. That moment, I felt my parents to be that young child left alone and scared and now feeling secure and happy, eager to hug me in their arms. I learnt an important lesson in that moment and after few days resigned from my job. I decided that I wont let my parents ever feel left alone or scared in this life. I am glad for that one moment which made me realise that nothing matters more than seeing your parents feel happy and secure in their old age. Love you Maa. Love you Paa. I will always be there for you.
