How did kindness touch the heart of an old man?

Our destiny takes us where we are destined to go but sometimes people come across our path to help and change our destiny, no matter what our age is? When I started working with Startapp Global in Faridabad, I got a security guard for our office. He is a thin, skinny old man who is always available for any task either to purchase something from market or to prepare for tea. He is always available with very polite voice and smiling face.I always like to talk to him politely and whenever we plan for having some snacks, I ask him to bring from the market and I always include him in that treat. He always worked very hard and always ready to go beyond his duty. I thought, why he does the job in the old age?

Many times, at the end of the month he asked me for very small amount of money as his salary day would be late or he needs it for some personal work. I didn’t ever ask for why he needs it, I always gave him whatever he want. Many times, I forget but he come and return me the borrowed amount. I many times ask him to keep the money but he always says “Sir, I’m eating because of you, I’ll ask you whenever I need again” but many times I give him money or food on occasions. Many times, whenever he was sick or in problem, I used to help him.

I was eager to know, why he is doing the job in the old age. One day, I asked him for why he is doing the job in his old age. He told me that he has children who are married and have children but his elder son who was married and have two children has left us in an accident so he needs to earn money to take care for his daughter in law and the grandchildren. His daughter in law and grandchildren live in the village and the daughter in law work in the farm but is not able to earn much to raise the children and educate them. I was feeling very sad for him as he need to do the job in very old age.😢

I was listening to him carefully then he said there are two key people in his life you are working to make his destiny better, and surprisingly one of them was me. I was too emotional after listening to all this but I had no words and I couldn’t ever imagine if I can be so much special for someone. We usually talk to each other occasionally and share our stories and comforts us and creates better bonds in our relation of kindness. 😊💕
