He smelled absolutely beautiful as he leaned across the table to pour my coffee. I later learned his name was Rehmat. He works in the hotel we are staying in in Fujairah, UAE. I couldn't resist it, I had to tell him his scent was beautiful. He blushed and humbly thanked me for my compliment.
As I continued to enjoy my breakfast, Rehmat returned to my table. He presented me with his 'perfume'. There wasn't much left in it he declared but he wanted me to have it. Oh my!!! I was so touched!!! What a beautiful gesture; he'd gone to his bag and gifted me
with his 'perfume'. Of course, I couldn't take this gift, it was too much. I got my friends to smell how beautiful he was.
I decided that I want to give a gift to Rehmat. I went to my room and brought down a little Irish Celtic Cross coaster. When I returned to the dining area he was gone but the manager said he would send Rehmat to my room. I gave Rehmat the little coaster. He was so touched. It was the first time in his 3 years here that a guest had gifted him something. He kept touching his heart and bowing his head.
Rehmat is from Pakistan. He told me he was going to immediately send a photo of this to his mum and other family members. Tomorrow Rehmat is going to bring me apricots and almonds from his home. I think he said he is also going to bring us to his home to sa vor their hospitality.
Rehmat thinks I have made his day, truth is, he warmed my heart more than he could possibly know.
I think I have made another friend. My friends, what a joy to open our hearts and be blessed in return with a grateful and loving heart of another. 💓
