Today I was at the bus station. I noticed a familar guy standing next to me. I remember his face because we’re in the same route, same time. We’re strangers who see each other everyday but never talk. The bus came shortly. While I was queuing, the guy was standing still, his eyes on his mobile phone. I didn’t want to be a busybody, but I was in his situation many times and felt extremely annoyed when missing a bus. So I shouted to him, “hey man, are you not coming?” The guy, in surpise, looked back to me and said, “No, not this one. Thanks”. I just thought, ah ok maybe he had a day off.
Story could have ended here if only I hadn’t been the last one on the bus and the driver had to gently asked me to get off!!! …
If you’re still interested in knowing what was next, luckily the station was in the route. So I waited for the right bus. When I finally got on it, I spotted the guy, and he spotted me. We both knew what had happened. And we didn’t say a word, just exchanged smiles ?
