It was late at night and an old taxi driver, Adam was returning home. Suddenly he saw a young woman with a baby standing by the road. He thought it was not safe for her to be alone there. So, he decided to pick her up.
He stopped his car near the girl and immediately she asked him if he could give her a ride. He already took his decision and said sure. The woman said that she had no money with her but the driver still gave her a ride.
The taxi again started to be driven and Adam told the woman that she had such a cute baby. She agreed and said that her baby almost never cried. He asked where he should drive to. She said that she wanted to go to the train station. After a while she added that he wanted to start a new life.
Adam asked her what wrong was with her current life. She replied that her child's father was mean to her and the baby. He always hurt them two and never took care of the baby. Moreover, everyday she had to put up with his taunts. His friends came to their house and he along with them made fun of her.
She said that she was living in veritable hell until she met that guy named Derek online. He promised her that he would save her form that nightmare. They arranged to meet at the train station. So, he would take her with him to start a new life.
The driver listened to her story and said that he hoped that was the best decision for her and her baby.
Adam took the woman to the train station and dropped her. He was returning home and would have forgotten about her if it hadn't been for her baby crying in the back seat. He got shocked at this and stopped driving soon. He found the baby and a note with him in the back seat.
It was written:
My husband is a monster and I can't leave my baby with him. But I can't take him into my new life either. Please take care of him and one day I will come back for him.
Adam took the baby with him to his home. When he was home, his wife asked what was that in his lap. He said that it was a baby. He added that someone had left him in his car. She became astonished. Adam asked him what they were supposed to do then.
The next morning, the couple called on their son and daughter. When they saw the baby they couldn't believe their eyes. The daughter asked how a mother could leave such a cute baby. Adam said that their mother and he were too old to raise that baby. But he was worried thinking about what kind of life he was going to have if they took him to an orphanage.
The son become irritated and said that the baby was not their problem and he should be in an orphanage. He added that they didn't know who his father was and who he would grow up to be with a mother like that.
But the daughter protested him saying that it was not the baby's fault and he was not going to an orphanage too. She said that she and her husband was going to adopt him. She couldn't have children anyway and thought that Almighty Himself had sent the baby to them. Her parents became happy and said that they were proud of her.
Since then the baby became part of the family. The old couple cordially accepted that boy as their grandchild. They played with him in the leisure period. And thus the taxi driver and his wife became his loving grandparents.
5 years passed after this and everything was going smoothly. And one day someone knocked on their door. Adam opened it and saw a woman standing. He instantly could recognize her. It was that woman who left that baby in his car.
The woman admitted everything and said that now she was ready to take him back. She added that her life was back on track and she could give him everything he needed. The old taxi driver said sorry. He told her that he had taken him to an orphanage as it was not his problem.
The woman got angry and asked how he could do that. She said that he was her child and she was his mother. The man said that she didn't deserve to be called a mother after what she did to him. He said good bye to her and shut the door.
His wife was in the living room and heard the conversation. When her husband returned she hugged him and said that he did the right thing as it would be better that way for their grandson. ;)
Being a mother doesn't just mean giving birth to a baby; it means always putting your child first.

True,, a note she left with the baby is a very big no,no.. irresponsible she was. Good thing the taxi driver had prepared himself for that day- when the woman will be back to take her baby back..
