Days after her son spotted a yellow Lamborghini on the road and yearned to take a ride in it, his mother turned to social media to locate the car’s owner.
“Does anyone know the owner of this car? Just standing beside the car for a photo will be enough,” said the Malaysian mother in a post on Tuesday (April 23) that was shared on Facebook group Orang Wangsa Maju.
The administrator of the page, where members post about happenings in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur, said that the eight-year-old boy was so excited to see the luxury sports car on the afternoon of April 18 that he braved the heavy downpour to take a photo of it.
Less than a day after his mother’s plea, the boy’s wish came true when Mikael Hidayat, a friend of the Lamborghini owner, alerted him to the post.
Taking to Facebook and TikTok in the early hours of Wednesday, he said that he and the car owner met up with the mother and the boy, along with his older brother and sister.
They learnt that the boy’s older brother is suffering from leukaemia and undergoing treatment at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
He was just as excited as his younger brother to see the sports car up close, said Mikael.
After treating the family to dinner, his friend took the three “happy and excited” children for a spin in the Lamborghini. The two brothers also snapped photos of the car.
A video posted by Mikael showed his friend waving goodbye and giving the thumbs up to a car that was leaving, which presumably belongs to the family.
The man is seen grinning widely after the family leaves and also appears to be tearing up.
@mikaelhidayat Semalam ada baca satu hantaran macam tular jugalah di group Orang Wangsa Maju Aku rasa macam kenal pemilik kereta yang kakak ni maksudkan dan cubalah tag member aku tu dan ya memang dialah orangnya Diringkaskan cerita, member aku ni pun hubungi kakak ni untuk berjumpa malam semalam dengan nak tunaikanlah impian budak ni Dema datang empat beranak. Ibu, kakak, abang dan adik, ayahnya outstation Si adik ni lah yang berhajat besar nak tengok dekat2 kereta ni tapi abangnya pun sama teruja Aku kat situ cuma buat ramai je lah, sambil mendengar ibu budak ni kabo mmg si adik memang peminat kereta gini sambil si kakak yang agak pendiam senyum2 je mendengar Menariknya, si abangnya yang menghidap Leukemia dan tengah treatment di HKL pun kongsi minat yang sama. Masa ni, aku nampak riak muka member aku ada berubah sikit, terkesan kot sambil kerapkali dia mengusap rambut si abang Ibunya sambung cerita, yang dia tak tahu apa cara nak tunaikan impian anaknya tu, itu yang dia minta tolong ke admin group Lepas belanja makan, member aku ni bawalah dema dua beradik ni naik kereta ronda2, sambil membuat onar belanja bunyi. Balik dari ronda2 tu memang aku nampaklah abang adik muka happy and excited Lepas tu dema dua beradik bergambar le puas2 dgn kereta tu kat situ Jujur sebelum sampai kedai member aku tu, aku fikir ini satu lagi cerita happy ending sebab impian budak2 tercapai Tapi lepas tengok depan mata sendiri, aku terfikir beberapa benda jugalah Antaranya Mustahil macam mana pun impian seorang ibu untuk anaknya, jika Tuhan izinkan, tetaplah jadi walau tak disangka cara Sekecil perkara buat kita, sebesar-besar maknanya untuk orang lain, kadang-kadang orang yang kita tak kenal pun Last sekali, hujan takde angin pun takde, kenapa mata member ni tetiba masuk habuk? btw, member aku ni sangat low profile, dia seboleh-bolehnya nak buat benda ni senyap je tapi aku pedulik apa fyppppppppppppppppppppppp lamborghini choosehappiness
“As small as it is for us, it means a lot to others, sometimes to people we don’t even know,” Mikael wrote in his post.
The heartwarming story has touched the hearts of netizens, who commended Mikael’s friend for his kindness.
Several also added that reading the post and watching the video brought tears to their eyes.
