Kindness Still Exists

This lovely Friday morning, I was going out by motorcycle to do some green grocery shopping. It was around 5 a.m. and the air was still very fresh and the traffic was apparently not busy. So after I finished my green grocery shopping, I decided to enjoy riding around to get more fresh air.

Suddenly at an intersection, my motorcycle was off. So I had to bring it near the sidewalk in order that I didn't disturb other vehicles passing by. I tried to ignite the machine automatically and manually again and again, but it wouldn't start.

So I tried to calm myself down, letting the motorcycle cool off. I saw some motorcyclists looking at me. I didn't ask their help because I was sure my motorcycle would be able to start if I let it rest first. I had experienced the same thing with the same motorcycle before. And at that time I managed to start the engine after some few minutes, without anyone's help.

Then, a motorcycle stopped beside me. There were two persons on that motorcycle. I assumed they were husband and wife, a young couple. The husband asked me what happened. Then both of them walked down from their motorcycle to help me start the engine. After they forced the manual and automatic ways of starting the engine, finally the motorcycle could start. I was so thankful for their effort to help me.

I still do believe that that little example of kindness still exists. Those husband and wife may think that what they have done to me is something small. But the effect to me is amazing. My heart is full with what they do with their kind heart.
