In a small town, an old man named Mr. Das lived alone in a quiet house at the end of the street. Every morning, he placed a chair across from his at the breakfast table and spoke softly to it as if someone were sitting there.
Neighbors often wondered if he had lost his mind. Some laughed, some pitied him.
One curious teenager, Aryan, finally knocked on his door and asked, “Uncle, why do you talk to an empty chair every morning?”
Mr. Das smiled gently and said, “This chair isn’t empty. It holds memories. My wife passed away five years ago, but we had a promise , no matter what, we’d always start our day together. I keep that promise, not because she’s gone, but because her presence still gives me strength.”
Aryan sat in silence, moved by the quiet power of love and loyalty.
From that day, Aryan visited him often, sometimes with questions, sometimes just to listen. The old man’s stories became his life lessons. Slowly, others joined. That once-quiet house became a place full of stories, warmth, and life again , all because someone chose to value what others ignored.
Moral:
Love doesn’t fade with absence. And sometimes, the deepest bonds aren’t seen, but felt. Every life has a story , all it takes is someone willing to listen.
