Neighbors and friends always told Simon that he was really friendly. He was the kind of man who every person would look up to for help, like Superman. If a girl needed someone to help her pull the cat out from a tree, he was there. If a blind man couldn’t clearly see the road, he was his eyes. If a housewife was unable to carry her groceries, he gave a hand…
He was so compassionate and loving that people started seeing him like a god. All the weights of their problems were all transferred to him. Some even started walking upright, and recovering confidence to check their weight. Everyone around him was happy – very happy. The happiness was too much and abnormal that it was covered as a special story in the media.
His calling became too demanding that he quit his job as a firefighter, forcing his girlfriend to work both in the day and night shifts as a waitress in a restaurant downtown. She had a big heart too, but not as big as that of his. Without any one to attend it, their house grew cobwebs, dust and silence.
As days passed, Simon’s heart grew bigger and bigger. One day, it became the size of a house – bigger than his previous house. The heart was big enough to accommodate furniture, book shelves, a TV and of course, people.
His girlfriend had become too busy, that she didn’t notice how big his heart had become. People in the restaurant she worked talked about Simon’s heart every day, but her fatigue couldn’t let her hear about the miracle. She needed Simon more than ever, to talk, hug and play poker. She needed a hand to renovate their house, and refill it with love and life.
Simon had become too compassionate and loving, that people started living in his heart. There was almost no room for his girlfriend in there.
