A Narrative Story: A Shock In The Mall

A Shock in the Mall

Have you experienced an unlimited love before? People often say that parents show unlimited love to their children. This feeling is especially familiar to me. A particular incident that justified the statement “motherly love is unrestricted” happened to me when I was studying in third grade.

That day, mom took me to a shopping mall located in the city of Taichung. At that time I was absolutely oblivious of my mother’s unconditional love. Let alone appreciating the goods she provided me. I often thought that I deserve everything I possess and desired to have more. When the electronic door opened, the superb collections of various items and the proportional design of the interior fascinated me. I glazed, with half of my mouth opened, at the utterly amazing view. “Hello? Are you not feeling well?” my mother’s question pulled back to life. A little annoyed, I replied swiftly “No no, I am alright. Just a little surprised.” As we walked pass the shops, the greed of buying more things rose inside me. “Mom, may I have this?” I kept nagging my mother for not only once but several times. Later on, mom was at the counter for buying me a pair of shoes. Beyond the counter, I saw a man wearing black coat and a mask looking at every direction, just like an eagle finding a prey. After the money was paid, we left the counter to continue the trip in the mall. I took a quick glimpse backward but only a black figure moved away fast as a cheetah.
