I went to the park and saw a small boy trying to fly his kite. There wasn't any wind so I sat down with him under the shade and kept him company.

" So you come here often?" I asked

" Whenever I'm having a hard time, I fly kites. They always make me feel better." He replied

" All by yourself?" I asked

" Yep."

" Where are your parents?" I asked

" They told me flying kites is a waste of time."

" Your friends?"

" Who would want to hang out with a guy like me"?

" Hey , it's difficult now but it's going to get better soon, I promise. Not today but someday." I said

He smiled at me .

I never saw him in the park ever again. It's been 10 years now and I was taking a stroll with my Husband and our daughter. Suddenly a tall, handsome teenage boy with blue eyes approached us. He looked very fit and smelled really good.

He approached me and said,

" You may not remember me but thank you for keeping your promise. My life got better."

I was very confused upon hearing his words.

" Not today, but someday." He muttered as he walked away.

By the time I realised what he was talking about, he disappeared into thin air.

" Mummy who was that?"

I smiled and said,

" The boy I saved."
