CHRISTMAS GIFT

# A mom who lived alone went to see her son who is now so wealthy. She went there to his place to borrow money from him because she wanted to buy something for herself to celebrate the Christmas day the next week

When she got there, she knocked the door and her son opened it and let her in. He said " How are you , Mom ? ". " All's good and hope you're good too", she replied. And then he asked her to sit down in the livingroom and they both had conversation. After having small talk , she told him that she came here to borrow money from him. She said " I am coming to you because I need money. I want to borrow money from you and I will give it back a week after Christmas. I want you to leand me only Rp 200,000, would you ? ". Hearing this his son just said " I don't either say yes or no. I must talk with my wife about this if she agrees". And then he was walking to his wife who was cooking in the kitchen. But he abruptly stopped his step when he saw a small milk box of his baby on the table on which the price lable showed " Rp 30,000". And then he was trying to figure out " Rp 30,000 " is for one day. So it means for 2 years it would be " Rp 30,000 x 30 x 24 = Rp 21,600,000". And next he compared it to the milk he got from his mom when she breastfed him for 2 years when he was a baby and it was sure to be the best quality milk, which was of course way more expensive than the powder milk in the milk box, if it should have been measured by money . And he got it for free, full of genuine love and so much care. And now she was asking for his favor to lend him only Rp 200,000, which was way too small money as opposed to what she'd given to him. This made him aware that how much he had been wrong so far not to treat his mom the way he should have. He mocked himself and owned up to a mistake to have not given so much care about his mom. No sooner had he realised how bad he'd treated his mom than he stepped back and ran to her , who was in the livingroom , embraced her with rain of tears on his face , full of regret and said " Please , please, Mom, forgive me ! , I haven't been your good son. Please , don't say that you'll borrow money anymore but I will for sure give you whatever you want. You have done everything for me and that's so true , that's love but I treat you as if you were not my mom. Please, please, Mom, please, forgive me ! ". Hearing this his mom was crying too but happy and said " You're alway my lovely son and I always love you and always keep you in my best prayers, night and day. I love you with all my heart and soul ".

The happy part of this story is that they celebrated the Christmas together , full of warmth and smiling faces of everyone and they wished each other " A merry Christmas ! ". Big kisses and hugs were with them.
