Don't be late

“Treasure time and moments as long as it is there don’t wait for the time that everything was already late”



Ken is a fourth year student. After this school year he will turn to college but he is not sure of what course to take in college although he always get good grades still his life has no direction. He is so cruel and rude; he is the headache of their family. Until one day his mom has been diagnosed to have cancer. It has been the biggest fight their family ever encountered. Although his family is facing a big problem you can never notice it on the way the he act that even a single person even his friends don’t know what he is undertaking. He did not share it to anyone for he don’t want others to took pity on him for he always want to be treated the strongest. He doesn’t even believe that there is God.

One evening when he visited his mom in the hospital, he find-out that his mom is in a critical condition then he run to the hospital’s chapel, bent his knees and prayed so hard until the morning kissed the day. When he stood up he found a woman crying, he go before her and asked “Ma’am why are you crying?”. The woman responded with tears in her eyes “ I loss my son, he was my only son my only family and he died because of leukemia, he had a lot of dreams but fate did not allow him to finish those dreams. He wants to be a lawyer because he wants to make his dad be out of the jail”. A tear from Ken’s eye fall for the first time in his life, he left the woman and run to his mom’s room and when he reached the room he saw his mom calling him. He slowly go before her and hug her tight. “Ken, I love you, you are my only son and you will remain in my heart forever, don’t lose hope, dream big and be a good boy”. Silence remained between them for five minutes hugging each other so tight. Suddenly Ken broke the silence “Ma, I love you so much” but when he look at her mom he find out that she already passed away.

Ken filled of tears run again to the chapel and saw the woman he left a while back. He wept at the woman and told him everything. “She died without knowing that I love her, I waste all of the times that I can say I love her, I hope I can bring back those moments but it is too late” Ken said. “Be a good boy” the woman said.

Years later after that day Ken did not only became a good boy but a very honorable man. He put the woman’s husband out of the jail. He became a doctor and raised a charity for cancer patients. He has been loved by everybody but throughout his life he still regret the times that he wasted when his Mom still see what he does.

“I hope she see my perseverance to be a good man, I wish I was able to tell her that I love her so much before her life ends”.
