Girl with a Golden Heart


I met a girl with a golden heart. 
She was not that much cute externally. Her eyes were not so seductive even her hair were not curly or impressive. Even though she stole my heart in fraction of seconds, yet i was unable to tell her.
She was a girl of 9 and selling flower garlands. She came to me and asked,"Sir, do you want to buy some garlands." I was quite surprised. I said," I do not have a spouse or girlfriend. What can i do with this little girl."
Her voice was sweet and she replied," This is for your mom. You can gift her. She will feel happy and my mother will get some food tonight."
I was stunned. "What is the problem little girl?", I asked.
She said," Doctors say that she is suffering from a disease called cancer. I do not know what is that. But because of this disease She is unable to do anything. She has been hungry for two days."
Tears appeared in my eyes. I could not tell her that how big her problem was with which she was struggling." I hugged her suddenly and bought all garlands. Then a miracle happened. She smiled!
I felt as if i were in heaven. Her smile was prettier than those of angels. She kissed me on my left cheek and said," Today my mother will sleep well."

Now i could not stop my tears. They were flowing like a stream. She again siled and ran away like a butterfly. 
That was a lucky day for me to see that divine beauty. I was filled with awe to see her love for her mother. I often pass on that road. My eyes always look for that little angel. But i never saw her again.
But really, she stole my heart.
