My colleague, Jammy, called me earlier for a late brunch. I hesitated because last night I feasted with food in a friend's place. But Jammy was so insistent that in the end she was able to get my 'yes.'

After the phone call, she told me to go straight to the hospital to do something. I said, "I don't want to go to the hospital. I get sad when I go there."
Again, she was so fierce that I was not able to escape from her. We walked the aisle of the hospital where nurses were rushing pushing beds of sick people. I told her that this is the reason why I don't really go to hospitals. She just smiled, then, no more reaction. We reached a room where someone was waiting for us. He looked familiar; maybe I have seen him at work. He and Jammy told me to go upstairs. After climbing to the third floor, I saw 'Blood Donation Room.' Right at that moment, Jammy told me that she would be donating blood for a colleague's mom.
I asked what happened to the familiar colleague's mom and he replied, "My mom got an accident last Tuesday. She needs a B-type blood and I found out that Jammy has the same. So, I requested her to donate her blood."
After some minutes, Jammy walked out of the room with a small ball of cotton on her arm feeling healthy. She looked just fine after giving out her blood. Inside the car while we were on our way home I threw another question to her, "Why did you do that? You don't know him well. You're not even close to the person."
Jammy said with a bright grin on her face, "I feel happy whenever I do something good for someone. I feel beautiful knowing that I make someone's life beautiful as well!"
