The Meaning of LOVE

My wife said to me who was reading the paper, "How long before you read the newspaper? Can you come here and help my dear daughter to eat. "

I put the newspaper and see my daughter satu2nya, named Sindu, looked frightened tears. In front there is a bowl of rice containing rice sour cream / yogurt (Indian rice = curd rice). Sindu is a sweet child and includes a new smart in her eight years. He was not like to eat this rice curd. Mother and my wife is still old-fashioned, they believe that eating curd rice once there was a "cooling effect".

I took the bowl and said:
"Sindu, darling, for the father, would you eat a few spoonfuls of this curd rice? If not, then your mother will teriak2 same father. "

I could feel my wife's scowl behind my back. Sindu sobs subsided and she wiped tears with his hand and said:
"Can a father would I eat curd rice is not just a few spoons, but all will I spend, but I'll ask ..." rather ragu2 a moment ... "....'ll Get something similar when dad finished all the rice. Is the father would promise to meet my request? "

I replied: "Oh, sure honey."

Sindu: "Yes father?"

"Yeah sure .." My hand holding the container mudaan and gentle as a sign of approval.

Sindu also urged his mother to promise the same thing, my wife patted his hand.
Sindu a whimper as he said without emotion, "promise" said my wife.

I'm a bit worried and said:
"Sindu, do not ask for a computer or other expensive barang2 well, because fathers do not currently have any money."

Sindu: "Do not worry, do not ask barang2 Sindu expensive anyway."

Sindu Then slowly and seems very miserable, he's determined to spend all the rice milk is sour. In my heart I was angry at his wife and mother who forced Sindu to eat something that does not like ..

After Sindu through his suffering, he approached me with eyes full of hope and all the attention (I, my wife and also my mother), directed to him.

Sindu apparently going head digundulin on Sunday!

My wife spontaneously said: "Demand crazy, dibotakin daughter, no way!"

Also my mother grumbled do not happen in our family, she's too much TV. And program2 TV ruined our culture.

I try to persuade: "Sindu, why do not you ask for something else we would all be sad to see you bald."

But Sindu remain with the choice: - "There's no 'well, nobody else wants."

I try to appeal to Sindu:
- "Please, why do not you try to understand our feelings!"

Sindu, with tears, said:
- "You've seen how miserable I spent the rice milk is sour and the father had promised to meet the demand of me. Why are fathers now want to withdraw my own words? Daddy Was not teach moral lessons,
that we must fulfill our promises no matter what happens against someone like Raja Harishchandra (Indian king of ancient times) to fulfill his promise to give real king of the throne, his power, even his own son's life. "

Now I decided to fulfill my request: - "The promise we have kept .."

Simultaneously wife and my mother said: - "Am I mad?"

Me: "No, if we're licking their own saliva, she will never learn how to value herself. Sindu your request we will meet. "

With a bald head, round face and her eyes seem Sindu big and nice.

On Monday I drove to school, I caught a glimpse bald Sindu walking into her classroom and waved to me with a smile I waved back.

Laki2 tiba2 a child out of the car, shouting, "Sindu, please wait for me."

To my surprise it turned out laki2 child's head bald, I'm thinking maybe "bald" model today.

Without introducing herself, a woman came out of the car and said:
"Your child, Sindu, benar2 great. Children laki2 the road with him now, Harish, is my child, she suffered from cancer, leukemia. "

The woman stopped talking, for a moment I see the tears started welling melt:
"Last month Harish absent from school due to chemotherapy become bald head, so he will not go to school afraid of being ridiculed by classmates teman2. Well, last week Sindu came to the house and promised my son to cope with taunts that might occur. Only, I think if Sindu betul2 not want to sacrifice her beautiful hair for my son Harish. Mr and wife truly blessed lord God, have a good-hearted girl. "

I stood transfixed and tears do not seem to melt. My little angels, please teach me about the MEANING OF LOVE!
