The other day i got out early from work. Six on the dot and I was waiting for the shuttle bus from our office to take me to the nearest train station. When I got to the metro there were still empty seats, which is quite surprising considering that it’s the rush hour.
When I alight at my intended stop, big heavy rain suddenly came pouring. So I took off my not that thick of a jacket, and used it to cover my head as I walk towards the bus stop. I have a feeling I’m gonna be soaked before I reached home. And just then a lady shared her umbrella with me. I keep on saying thank you again and again, she started laughing. She said in her broken English, “I’m sure you’re gonna do the same thing for someone else”.
We shared a quiet understanding from our short exchange while she shared her umbrella with me, as we walked towards the bus stop under the heavy falling rain.
I got on my bus and smiled as I watched the rain cleansing everything else around me. Heaven has it’s ways of talking volumes without that much exchange of words.
