The Moment Of Love

It was the last day of the school.

Most students had packed their bags and gone home.

The Upper Six students remained.

There was an assembly for them.

I presumed it was held to boost their spirits and morale to face the coming public exam.

The principal of the school gave a heart warming speech.

He received many attentions, then the overwhelming claps.

Then came a round of shaking hands...

Then the many best wishes....

Then the many reminders and last minute push-up.

Then come the uncontrollable tears and sobbing, both teachers and students......

Many moments of sweet memories...

Many instances of arguments and debates....

Many hours of teaching and learning, reteaching and relearning....

Many times of well-phrased advices and tips fell on the deaf ears and stiff necks....

And teachers on many occasions were reasoning among themselves how to bring this group of students up....

Then came this moment... when the world came to a stand still.... so unexpected and so sad...

It was indeed a touching moment where the hearts no long lie.

Everyone looked at one another, so sincere and so giving.

It was a moment of truth...

It was a moment of love...

It was a moment to treasure and remember...

Forever and ever.
