opps.. this entry in my draft for a mth plus..
shit ! its like d 7th or 8th time, i forgot abt my purse !
what was i thinking?!
called my colleague. arranged to meet her at bt merah interchange.
lucky me.
waiting. daydream. switch off.
saw a lady with a blind guy walked passed me and i tot, wow. no one ever approached me for such help.
cont daydream.
suddenly. a boy appeared in front of me.
tried to tok to me? i remove my earpiece and asked ‘what?’
he shake his head and walk away.
mm?
he came to me again.
showing me a little note.
‘hi, i’m xxx. suffering from cant-rem-the-name-illness. i cant speak properly. i want to go home. could u direct me home? these are my buses. thank you. pls dont give me money, i just want to go home’
quickly scan through the buses and realised.. oh? the buses are not available at this interchange.
signal & told him to wait.
ran to the bus station control and seek for help.
a bus captain followed me to the boy and informed me: he’s taking bus 16. d boy noe what bus to take. why did he approach u?
?!?!
erm?
d bus captain repeated: bus 16. d boy noe.
and he left.
my coll came with my purse.
my bus (851) came.
i left with my coll.
leaving the boy behind.
got on the bus and regret.
true. the boy might noe what bus to take.
but he did approach me.
how could i leave him?
someone in need and i left.
it made me feel lousy abt myself.
what kinda person i am.
a note was presented to me, seeking for help.
when my bus arrived, i selfishly left.
yes, d boy sudden approach,
i’m a little confused by the boy & the situtation,
i didnt had d time to think through my actions.
all of d above.. are not good enough reasons,
to justify myself.
enough of beatin myself in the head.
live & learn.
