A lady sat beside me during a bus ride home yesterday. I was expecting her to move over to the empty seats near the windows when many passengers alighted at one bus stop, however, she still sat beside me despite having many empty rows of seats in front of us.

It is a very rare and unique moment for a stranger to continue sitting beside me despite these rows of empty seats. For that moment, my heart turned soft, I enjoyed a stranger's companion throughout the whole journey. At places where I was suppose to alight and change over to another bus service to go to gym, I just sat through the journey until she got off. When I had tried to write her a note of thank you, she got off before I could show it to her.

She seemed like a potential life partner at that particular moment, like finding someone who is not part of the crowd that usually change seats upon seeing empty window seats around them. Too bad, I never got to know her.

I turned softer than a whipped cream.

I never went to gym that night anymore and went back home straight.
