My wrist watch showed eight pass forty-five when I left the office. I knew that I have missed the latest bus heading home. I feel so lazy lately...Several weeks working late and going home on a cab had made me forgot about the bus. Lols. So, I waited on whatever number that passed...
Thirty minutes later. Still no bus. I got a seat on that bus stop, and felt a bit hungry. The wind blew my hair and I kinda regretted why I left my sweater at home.
Forty-five minutes. Not just bus, I missed home, too. Sitting on that bench made me feel a bit lonely. Then I started to rewind my mind; I always do that when I feel mellow... Do you do that, too? The bus stop became quiet. One, two, three, more people were taking off and I was left alone.
Suddenly I felt a small body sat right beside me. I turned around and saw this little girl in her purple jacket; she laid on the bench and kept moving her body as if she was so bored. I looked around... The street was empty... She wasn't dirty or anything, so I assumed she must have parents. The little girl looked at me. I tried not to care, but she smiled at me. I looked around once again (and held my bag tighter, just in case she was copet)... Oh, there! A lady who sells drinks looked at that little girl. She must be her mum. So I worried for nothing, huh. I looked at my watch and thought of taking a taxi. I looked at this little girl and I felt sympathy. She is probably five, but she had to wait for mommy and her selling at this hour. I'm sure her mom took care of her, because she wore triple shirts and decent shoes. I thought of giving her a bar of chocolate (I always have it in my bag), but I doubted that her mom would appreciate it... so I stand up and waved to a taxi. Thanks for accompanying me, little girl :) I hope next time I can give you that chocolate.
