'I promised my mother a helicopter ride': Man fulfils childhood promise, heartwarming video goes viral
A man fulfilled his childhood promise by taking his mother on her first helicopter ride.
A heartwarming video of a man fulfilling a childhood promise to his mother has left social media users emotional. The clip shows him taking his mother on her first helicopter ride, even as she initially appeared nervous and hesitant before finally enjoying the experience.
Taking to Instagram, influencer Yogesh Rawat shared the video, saying that he had always dreamt of giving his mother this special moment. The clip was shared with the caption, “Meri maa ki pehli helicopter ride.”
In the video, Rawat says, “I had made a promise to my mom in my childhood that when I grow up, I will make her sit in a helicopter, so today is that day. But, poor mom got scared as soon as she saw the helicopter. There is the helicopter. Listen, look at this smile on mom’s face, brother. Mom is feeling scared to sit in the helicopter. She has never sat in anything like this before.”
He then shows the tickets and says, “Helicopter tickets. Munsyari.” His mother, visibly nervous, says, “I am feeling scared.”
Mother’s fear turns into joy
Rawat asks her, “You are feeling scared?” He then explains how he somehow convinced her to sit inside the helicopter.
“Somehow, I made mom sit inside and look at this, how mom is feeling scared, she is sitting holding my leg, ‘No, I don’t want to go.’ I explained to mom that nothing happens, I am here with you. And then I showed off a little, brother, it’s worth it,” he says in the video.
As the ride begins, his mother gradually becomes comfortable. Rawat adds, “Mom is now also in full swag, she has worn my cool glasses. Now mom is doing hand signs, full, because mom has become happy.”
