It was a rainy day in September 2020. I woke up early in the morning to get ready to go to campus. It was a special day for me and my loved ones because it was my birthday. By the time of that year, COVID was under control for a while so we had to go out to do things. So on that day, I had many many messages wishing me a Happy Birthday, but there was one person who was special among them. I looked at the wish that person had sent and it made me smile.
So when I went to the university early in the morning, I met that person. He was waiting for me with a delightful smile upon his face. After a little bit of chit chat, he told me to close my eyes for a while. So I did. I heard him walk away, but I didn't open my eyes. In a few seconds, I heard him return. Then he told me to open my eyes. When I opened them, what I saw was a beautiful Bonsai tree. I instantly fell in love with that gift. It was such a beauty. I had never seen a bonsai tree that close in my life. I didn't have enough words to thank him so I hugged him.
In 2021, locked inside home, I still look at that tree and recall that day. It was such a memorable gift.
