A Lady with the Pure Heart

A Lady with the Pure Heart (Short story)

Leah is a quiet person; in every single day before she went to her work which is not far from her apartment she has an attitude that I really think it is her little secret. I am looking for Leah for some reason; while walking I saw she walks through the arcade, so I followed her till she saw a dry plant she stopped from walking and so do I, ten steps from her I don't know I can't figure it out till I realize I am smiling and amazed from what she did to the dry plant. She lifts the plant and put it to the falling water from a gutter to water the plant.

After she did that she continued walking I still followed her without even telling her. In the crossing street, she saw a vendor old woman hopelessly pushing the cart made of wood and some metal, and as I was expecting she did help the old woman, and because of flattering, I didn't notice her leaving; I decided to go to my restaurant and wait her lunch break.

Its lunch and there she is smiling, but still quiet, she pointed her order and I was stock starting at her when she waves her hand while pointing her order again; thank goodness! I was able to give her an order. Minutes later, while she's eating I saw a street dog starring the food from her and Leah looks shocked, I feel ashamed as the dog street roamed around my restaurant I was about to expel the dog when she stops me and smile at me to the dog and fed it with her clean hand. I still can't get over what just happened.

Busy noon as the employees are here to have their lunch and I was forgetting a bit, Leah is nowhere to be found; the cashier told me she paid her bill and go; I feel frustrated not to say 'Good day' to her but I still have time, her time off from her work.

I am waiting for her here in the telephone post when she came out through the building where she worked for, she is smiling and here I am staring at her and froze. She did not see me, but she has seen them. The poor woman and I think seven year old children and begging for money, she feels pity to them. She opened her bag and lend them money, the mother is bowing at her the child too, Leah is also bowing to them. She is natural.

And again, I did not notice her again, then run and looking for her again, then I saw her buying 1 kilo of bananas. I followed her again through her apartment, but before she enters to her unit she carefully put the one plastic of banana hang to the door knob of someone's unit and run through her unit. I wonder why she did that. As what happened again, I can't reach her so I decided to go home till the old lady called me asking if I am the one putting a plenty of bananas every day to her door; I smiled and tell her the story of "A Lady with the Pure Heart".

I said to the old lady how Leah is doing; Leah has a pure hearted woman; she is not wealthy, but she shares her blessing; she is not political, but she helps helpless people; she has no garden, but she helps water the plants; she is not veterinary doctor but she has concern to the animal; she may be young but she respects seniors.
