![]() An elderly couple took the seats right in front of me. With much difficulty, the elderly man finally sat down with his walking stick still clutched tightly in his hands. His petite wife left her grocery trolley leaning against the pillar near them. Moments later, the elderly woman returned with a large plate of white rice with some side dishes. The couple dug into the rice, leaving the untouched fish at the side. A while later, a pair of weathered and wrinkled hands took to the task of removing the fish bones and sprinkling the small chunks of fish meat on the rice. The elderly man's hand trembled as he lifted the spoonful of rice to his mouth. Bit by bit, the rice reduced... The elderly woman only ate white rice and the vegetables she ordered. The fish meat she sprinkled over the rice was left for her husband. I was deeply touched by the scene unfolding before me. The immense love they had for each other. How lovely would it be if 50 years down the road, my life is as heartwarming as theirs. Taking daily meals with the man you love most and never once getting sick of this routine. Taking his hand in yours and inching forward with each step you take. Finding comfort in the knowledge that he is always by your side, through your ups and downs. Life partner... Given the era they were born in, they could very well have been together through an arranged marriage. That would have made it even more remarkable. Loving a person you barely knew and over the years, feelings developed lasting till today. Somehow, i had this deep longing in my heart, yearning to share it with someone, barely able to contain this happiness with. If only all couples turned out to be as loving as them... how nice... no divorces, no separations, no feuds, no killings... life would have been much more peaceful. Yet when reality sinks in, I know that they are inevitable because we are only human... Posted by Lynette at |
