A girl with Red Rose



One day I was sitting at the market parking lot, this place has became my hangout spot lately, specially when I am alone. I usually like to sit there just because I usually remain alone. But I am not a sort of loner actually. 
Anyways sitting there I was seeing a girl from last couple of days. A girl, small and smart. She was a like a street kid. I think she was Bangladeshi but I was not so sure of it. she came to me asking for money. I got away from her, and was swinging in my own thoughts. Then I brushed away my worrying and saw that girl again, this time she was right across another parking lot asking the people standing there. No one standing near me gave her money, she still continued hoping someone would. This is a regular feature I get to see in parking lot near market. 

I saw her the next day too, still doing her job dedicatedly and not giving up on us. She asked me again, and again the next day, and every time she sees me, but she didn't give up on me. I never gave her anything nor will I, ‘cause I know she works for someone else and this money will never fulfill her hunger or pain.

Sitting next day there I saw her again, and usually she was doing her job, and I saw a guy giving her a red rose, he was with his friends and they joked about her. They were finding some pleasure in teasing her, it arises a curb inside me to teach them a lesson, when I saw the girl’s face. She was smiling, I had never seen her smile so self-consciously, she was looking beautiful. The small red rose was given to tease her but she was happy with whatever she got.

The small red rose which symbolize love gave her a weird happiness. I was thankful to that guy. The next day I again saw her doing her job, this time she was still wearing that red rose which was stale behind her ear......and that told me how determined she was to make her life happy and worthwhile.

In the same way we shouldn’t give up hope, ‘cause god still believes in us I think.
