A 70-year-old mother went to see her son to ask for money for his medical treatment. But he only gave her a packet of noodles and politely sent her away. However, when she got home and opened it, she was sh0cked and couldn't believe what she saw...
It was afternoon, a gentle drizzle was falling. Dolores walked hunched over, leaning on her cane, slowly making her way along a dirt and rocky road on the outskirts of Quezon province. Hanging over her shoulder was an old, worn cloth bag, containing only some medical papers and a few coins—barely enough to buy a loaf of pandesal.
She was seventy years old, her legs were trembling, but that day she decided to go out—to find her son Ramón, the son she had raised with all the love and sacrifice of a mother.
He was suffering from heart disease; the doctor had told her he needed urgent surgery, which would cost tens of thousands of pesos. She didn't have that kind of money, so she had no choice but to turn to her son for help. Ramon was now the owner of a building materials store in Quezon City, with a large house and a shiny car. She believed that no matter how busy he was, her son would never let his mother suffer.
The meeting in front of the house
Upon arriving, she stopped in front of the large iron gate and pressed the doorbell. A ting-ting sounded, and after a moment, someone opened it. It was Ramon's wife, a young woman who looked her up and down and asked coldly:
"What are you doing here, Nanay?"
Dolores smiled weakly, her voice trembling:
"I just came to visit... and I wanted to ask Ramon a favor..."
The woman didn't answer; she simply turned around to call her husband. Ramon came out, well dressed, still holding his phone.
"What are you doing here, Mom? I'm very busy."
Embarrassed, she took some papers out of her pocket:
"Mom has a heart condition; the doctor said I need an operation soon. I just want to borrow a little money from you. When your brother sells the rice in the fields, I'll pay you back right away..."
Ramón frowned and sighed:
"Mom, I'm short on business capital too. I don't have any money now. You'd better go home, I'll see what I can do later."
She remained silent, her eyes filling with tears:
"I just need a little, enough for the hospital. Could you help me this time?"
Ramón looked at his wife and then said, as if wanting to quickly end the conversation:
"Okay, Mom, take this package of noodles and eat them. When I have money in a few days, I'll send it to you."
He took a package of instant noodles from the trunk of the car, placed it in his mother's hands, and gently pushed her out the gate.
"Mom, come back quickly, it's about to rain heavily."
Dolores lowered her head, clutching the package of noodles to her chest, trying to hold back her tears. The iron gate closed, leaving the old woman behind alone in the pouring rain.
The Secret Inside the Package of Noodles
On the way home, she didn't blame her son. She just thought, "Maybe he really is going through hardship. Anyway, he gave me some noodles; that shows his kindness."
When she arrived at her small, run-down house in the countryside, she placed the package of noodles on the table. She was hungry, so she decided to cook them to warm herself. But when she opened the package, she was surprised to see that inside weren't just noodles... but also an envelope.
With trembling hands, she opened it—and inside she found...
