The Man said something

'Why? Why are you willing to go through all these?' Asked the boy. 'You can just give up! I know that it is painful, I know it is torturing, but why? Why?'

The man kept walking, continuing on doing what he is doing. His face showed pain and agony but he pressed on. His eyes were set on accomplishing what he wanted to do.

'Please, stop already, you'll tire yourself. You need not do what you are doing! it is not necessary!' The boy exlcaimed as he is crying.

'Don't worry at all, you'll understand what I am doing eventually. You'll see.' The man replied with a smile on his face.

Noon drew nearer, the sun beated down on the man and the boy. The boy watched as the man continued doing what he is doing. He continued on without giving up, he pressed on and did not falter. Never a moment did he said he wanted a break or quit.

Noon came, it started to rain. the boy watched as the man finished what he was doing. Yet, he still did not undertsand it. He cried and went back home. thinking why that man did not listen to him.

'You'll understand what I am doing eventually. You'll see.' the man's voice echoed in his mind.

Days later, the boy met that man again. he ran towards him and asked him why he had to do what he did.

'Son, did you hear me say it?' He asked the boy.

'You said something?' the boy enqired.

'Yes, I said something when I was doing what I did. Didn't you hear?'

'No, I didn't hear what you said.'

The man stepped closer to the boy and squatted down. He then stretched out his hand and gave him a pat on his head and smiled.

'I said 3 words. Those 3 words are very important to you about me. Remember that while I was doing what I did, I was nailed 3 times. at each nail, I said a word.'

'The first nail, I'

'The second, Love'

'The third, You'

'Becuase of that, i did what I did. Becuase of that, you can now know how I feel about you. Do not feel you are alone but know that I am with all the time.'

The man then left. The boy smiled, with tears in his eyes. He understood what the man meant at last.
