The "KISS"

I am feeling really awesome to share this with you. It is an incident which has happened in 2010. I was in Nashik, completing my B.Ed. It was near about 6 p:m. I was returning from my college. My room was 5 minutes away from the college. Actually it was a very big campus . KTHM, campus. From K.G. to P.G. courses are available there. I was crossing the main gate of one of the High-school building, at that time I noticed that somebody was crying. It was a school-boy. He might be in 5th or 6th class. The peon was closing the gates.As the boy was inside the gate, it was impossible to close it. So he took that boy out and closed the gate. I went near to Peon asked about the matter. Then he told me,  "sir, no one come to receive this boy's, and I have to go. I can't wait now, . Sir, please do me a favor please stay with the boy, until his parents come."
    I had no choice. I agreed. The boy was crying continuously. I sooth him first. And started talking with him to make him feel comfortable. After sometime i come to know that he and his sister are studying, in the same school and she is in 9th class . and she daily picks him up after school, but because of some reasons she went alone.
      I was thinking what to do now? Whether to wait for his parents or sister or to go higher school authority. I decided to wait for sometime and then to go higher authority. Meanwhile the boy become more comfortable. I started talking with him about his family, his likings and all. He lived in colony which was 4- 5 km away from school. And on that day his sister had dance class so that she left him.  He told me that his father picks him whenever his sister had to go somewhere. While talking he told me that he had his father's mobile number in his notebook.
      It was a good news for me. I called his father and told the situation to him and asked to come soon to pick up the boy. I also give phone to that boy so that he feel more comfortable. Meanwhile we both come out of the main gate of the campus. There were some hawkers. I offered him some snacks, initially he refused but later he agreed. He  demanded 'khare- mure' (saulty groundnuts) firsrt, then ' barfacha gola', then.,  a juice. I couldn't refuse his orders as at first I offered him to take some snacks. He had all those snacks. We were waiting for his father eagerly. Especially I.  I thought may his father come early before he asked for next snack. But he didn't demanded anything after juice.
      We were waiting for his father. Within few minutes he came. He was on his bike. As soon as the boy saw his father he ran towards the father. He told his father about the 'fun' he had done. The boy sat at front before His father immediately. His father felt grateful about all.  I said goodbye to them and started walking. Suddenly after few steps the boy called me loudly. I turned back. He was getting off from the bike. I thought, "what's the matter now. " He came near to me and asked me to bend over. I do so. And he kissed me on chick and said "thank you, dada,". I was amazed . He went back and sat on the bike. His father started bike. The boy was smiling and waving his hand. I was just  watching his radiant eyes.
