Love has no age

Today, my slippers got tore off and I took them to a cobbler. The cobbler was an old man, aged around 75 years. His wife was stitching her slippers which had been torn off many times. The old man asked his wife "Did you have lunch?", to which the wife replied "No".

The old man takes a 50 Rs note, gives it to his wife and asks her to have lunch. She replies "No. I don't want your money. You keep it. I know how to survive", and continues to stitch her slippers. The old man then collects my slipper and checks its size. He attempts to stitch it and then gives it to his wife saying that his hands are hurting. She stitched my slippers and gave it back to him. She then continues to stitch her own slippers.

These moments went very deep into me. I paid 100 Rs to the old man and asked him to keep the change. He refused stubbornly and after a long search in his workplace, gave me back my 50 Rs change. After thanking both of them, I turned back disappointed looking at his wife stitching her slippers.

And then, the old man says to his wife "Now this money is earned by you. This is your money. Go and have your lunch".

Love has no age. Love knows no currency. Love finds no boundaries. I envy this old couple! Made my day! :)

Even a billion dollars cannot buy this feeling and love :)
