A Story
I'm in the mood to tell a story... so here it is
She went out shopping one afternoon during the weekend. After getting almost everything she wanted to buy, she was torn in between. It was either to another shopping complex or to another store. After contemplating for quite a while, she decided to go to the store and after getting more stuffs, she would walk home.
On the street, she spotted another store which had a good bargain and she decided to walk into the store. But, her stomach was growling. She must be hungry- no breakfast, no lunch, no snacks. She had half a mug of water just before she left home that afternoon. She decided to have lunch and then pop into the store to check out the bargain before heading home.
What's for lunch? She couldn't decide. She was toying with the idea of sandwiches, bagel or McD. So McD it was for lunch. It's her habit to have Happy Meal when she ate alone. She asked for a cheese burger meal which came along with french fries and an orange juice. The toy was a Power Ranger toy and she didn't fancy it so she looked around to look for any kids so she could give the toy away to a toddler or a little boy.
A black man approached her and asked if he could sit opposite her and she nodded her head. She continued eating her meal and ignored the man. The man left when she was half way through her meal and she let out a sigh of relief.
Then an Asian guy asked if he could sit opposite her and she said yes. An European family sat next to her table. There was a boy who also had Happy Meal. Before she could open her mouth to ask if the boy wanted another Power Ranger toy, the guy who was sitting opposite her asked her: Do you know where to get the straw? She looked at him with a smile and pointed to the direction where he could get the straw. When he walked away, she asked the boy if he wanted to have the toy but the shy boy ignored her. She just left the toy on the boy's table and continued eating her meal. 'Looks like he doesn't want the toy' The guy interrupted. She looked at him, smiled and said it's okay.
Ice broken. They started talking. He was new to the country and didn't know where to get a new suitcase for his trip to Italy so she told him where to go. She could see he hurried through his meal and he asked her: Shall we go now? She was stunned. She had completely forgotten about the bargain in store and she said 'Yes'.
Off they went. She brought him from one store to another. But at the end, he couldn't find the luggage that he wanted. Tired, she was. Disappointed, they were. But nothing could be done.
She was tired after the final store and decided to head home for some rest while he had other plans. It was farewell for them outside the final store. He finally popped the question: Can I have your number? And they exchanged numbers. He went right whilst she headed left.....
Serendipty. She told herself. It was.. it really was a serendipity.
