When fate arrives at the expected
| Mr. L used to smile a lot, he loved laughters of kids. He would sit aside listening to children’s stories, quietly. Sometimes, he would comment on bits and bites of the story. Children liked this uncle.
Every a period of time, he would asked the child, ‘ how about i buy you a gorgeous watch? Huh? Or, get you something you like, you name it?’. ‘… No.’, the child suppressed her desire for having her favourite toy… after noticing her mother’s too obvious signal of refusal. Even after the child grew up, the uncle was not as rich as he used to be, he still asked the same thing… and had the same answer. It had became a special dialog between them. A little warmth in the girl’s heart. Fate has not been very nice to L. I do not know why. Perhaps everything has a reason, or not. L suffered from a horrible disease, making him unable to speak, unable to walk, and finally, die, in his late 60s. He had been tormented for over 3 years. Right from the beginning of the disease, he had lost the power to talk. He had endured 2 years and 11 months without complaining, or showing a bit of anger or frustration. He always took every chance and every treatment possible. In the end, he died in dignity. Everyone knows L would pass away in near time. Although they had expect it to come, when it actually did, no one could stop wondering, why fate prepares such a life for L. And we cannot conclude the otherwise: Fate is fate. to L |
