It’s very rare for me to attend an occasion because I’m an introvert and I avoid meeting new people. But once in a blue moon, I went on a wedding with my mom and dad. So we went to one of my friend wedding as I was invited, so I had to go. I was a little bit hesitant about going or not, but I made my mind and I went there with my parents. There, uh, everything was going smoothly. The functions were going on and slight come, peaceful music was being played in the background. And suddenly, I hear crying sound, and I turned back and I saw a small child barely two or three years old, a child crying He was a boy. He was crying so loudly. Some somebody was not even looking for him. So I thought that kid must would be paying or, you know, doing just acting of crying. So I transferred my focus to the function, and I was just having, you know, normal conversation with my mom. And when I turned back, I saw the kid was crying, and the noise of him coming into my ear, it was actually irritating. At beginning, I thought he had some problem. But after a certain point, I had reached I had reached my saturation point. And I couldn’t control it anymore. So the kid was in pain. I nobody was even bothered to look at him or ask him what’s happening. So I went to him, and he was crying so badly. I took him in my lap. I tried to console him. Moreover, I patted him on his back and asked him what’s wrong. He told me the story that his toy is broken, and he can’t find his mom. So I asked one of the guest that if she knows his mother, so, surprisingly, she knew her. So I told her that can we please take this kid to her mother? Because he’s crying, and I’m not liking it. So I went to his mother, handled him the kid. After helping him, I felt grateful that I had the child and I felt happy that the kid was happy at the end.

It's very rare for me to attend an occasion because I'm an introvert and I avoid meeting new people. But once in a blue moon, I went to a wedding with my mom and dad. So we went to one of my friend's weddings as I was invited, so I had to go. I was a little bit hesitant about going or not, but I made up my mind and I went there with my parents. There, everything was going smoothly. The functions were going on and some peaceful music was being played in the background. And suddenly, I heard a crying sound, and I turned back and I saw a small child, barely two or three years old, a boy crying loudly. It seemed like nobody was even looking after him. So I thought that the kid might be faking it or just pretending to cry. I shifted my focus back to the function and was having a normal conversation with my mom. When I turned back, I saw the kid still crying, and the noise was really irritating. Initially, I thought he might have some problem. But after a while, I reached my saturation point and couldn't ignore it anymore. The kid seemed to be in distress, and nobody seemed to be paying attention to him. So I went to him, and he was crying uncontrollably. I took him in my lap, tried to console him, patted him on his back, and asked him what was wrong. He told me that his toy was broken, and he couldn't find his mom. I asked one of the guests if she knew his mother, and surprisingly, she did. I suggested that we take the kid to his mother because he was crying, and I couldn't bear it. We found his mother, I handed him over to her. After helping him, I felt grateful that I could help the child, and I was happy to see him happy in the end.
