When an older man arrives home from work one day, he is surprised to see a beautiful young woman standing by his window. At first, he thinks he’s imagining things because of his advanced age, but then the woman comes face-to-face with him…
Andrew was a 68-year-old businessman who had lived his entire life alone because he had never married or had children. However, he was extremely kind and friendly and adored children.
In the evenings, after returning from work, Andrew would often be found playing with his neighbors’ kids or treating them to chocolates and candies. Other times, he’d be teaching kids to ride the bike, play baseball, and do a variety of other activities. It was as though those kids were his own.
But one day, when Andrew got home from work, he noticed something strange. There was a woman staring at him through the window of his house. She was incredibly gorgeous, and Andrew couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw her.
“It’s got to be in my brain! It can’t be true!” he told himself, unable to believe his eyes, as he dashed inside and upstairs to the room with the window.
If you do one modest act of kindness for someone, you will be rewarded numerous times.
“Oh my god, Cynthia, is that you?” he asked, coming to a halt outside the room. The woman was now smiling at him and they stood face to face.
“IT IS ME, Andrew,” she replied. “I kept the promise I made to you 18 years ago. Aren’t you glad to see me?”
As Andrew heard those words, his past flashed before his eyes, and he couldn’t hold back his tears.
“I was in France, Andrew. A year after my adoption, my adoptive parents relocated there. All thanks to their support, I became a successful model. And I’m married to a businessman. I found the keys you gave me one day and I knew I had to see you.”
At that moment, she pulled a pair of keys from her coat and handed them to Andrew while holding both his hands. “Now I’d like you to promise me something…” she said. “This is the key to my house on the French Riviera. Just know that you can come to me at any moment and my door will always be open for you. You must agree to visit me every Christmas and New Year!”
“Oh, I – I would love to…I would love to, sweetheart,” he said and hugged her.
That year and every year after, Andrew spent Christmas and New Year at Cynthia’s house with her husband and parents, who regarded him as a part of their family.
