To love without saying something

One day I was treated to eat noodles at a famous noodle shop. The price is not expensive and it’s really delicious. We sat at a long table that can accommodate about ten people when the round table. The table was filled with six people, me, my friend and four visitors.
While eating, a new family sitting near us. Exactly among my friends and other visitors. They have been ordered noodles and waiting. The family consists of a couple who are still young and a child who was about six years.


Their families far from simple. His clothes were a bit dull and smelly. The child had apparently recovered from an illness that we do not know and were pulled out of his nose. Snot like number eleven, and sometimes like a number one with a yellow-green. The mother lovingly wiped the snot that does not stop in and out of her nose. The couple was very happy to see her son play with a laugh. It seems to eat noodles is a celebration to welcome her recovery.
When the family arrived noodles eaten with relish. The situation is not applicable for all of us except my friends. For the five of us (including me) it is a disaster and torture. Imagine wrote, what it’s like eating noodles with a family who kissed his bad smell. Yet to see and hear the snot who pulled out and cleaned occasionally by his mother. Every time eating noodles while drinking the liquid, it’s like snot has been mixed with food and makes appetite loss. Soon, the four customers who sat at the table with us left the table one by one, without taking food. This view is a sense of bitterness that emanated diwajah young families, such as low self-esteem and alienation see my attitude and the four other guests.
But it did not last long, especially when they see my friend, cheer them recover. My friend still enjoy the noodles with all kecuekannya. As if there was no smell around it and no sound is heard snot. I can not do much besides learn cool and spent the rest of noodles. Anyway I treated to dinner and not entitled to file things weird and rude.
After lunch, we were seated twenty minutes before leaving the store of food. I am surprised with the behavior of my friends outside of his habit. Usually after eating, he just sat at a long ten minutes. Once again I have to follow the will of my friend in exasperation.
Eventually we walked out of the shop and a young family, I felt relieved. On the way home, my friend said he was very disturbed to sit next to these families. He felt a sense of smell and feeling annoyed with her snot sound. He felt just as I did.
My friend also said that if he left the family when they rejoice, the family will feel devastated, worthless, isolated and desperate. The husband was giving the best for his family. They rejoice in celebrating his son’s recovery. The husband has spent money for them quite expensive from the hard work only to give the best for his family. Money is not so much to our size but not for the family.
I was very surprised to hear the narrative of my friends. And do not think my friend has done something extraordinary for the family. In her typical, noodle stand and wait until they run out twenty minutes after eating, has given a new spirit for the family.
I remembered how to feel bitterness, low self-esteem and alienation in the face of both husband and wife when he saw the other customers left the table without taking food and see my behavior. I also remember how happy the couple returned once saw my friend being ignorant.
First time in my life, I realize and see how to love each other without saying anything really not impossible. This is truly a miracle. Magic how about loving people can be realized without the words in such a short time. Quite simply by continuing to eat noodles until they run out.
The hell with my attitude and other visitors who are not praiseworthy. Menunggu dua puluh menit setelah selesai makan. The latter contain her scent to improve everything has demonstrated a miracle of love and carried out by a friend.
Magic how my friend warn me without saying anything. He was not charged but badly enough to hit me. I felt very shocked, embarrassed but not angry. I remind myself again how easy it is to say love your neighbor but do not do it.
