Musical Chairs on the Bus

--by guin, posted Feb 27, 2007

I was going home by bus when I saw this unknown girl and her boyfriend from University heading home too. It seemed like they had planned a lot of things for Valentines Day and wanted to be with each other. I was seated on the bus in seats that are reserved for women, and the girl had no choice but to take the seat in this section next to me. I asked her if she wanted me to move in front so that she could sit with her boyfriend. She smiled a really wide smile and told me that she felt it was a very thoughtful thing.

So I swapped my first chair .

Soon , (I commute two-hours) I saw a fantastic and kind maths teacher of mine (who taught me a very long time back) standing without a seat. I gladly gave him mine. :)
He looked pleased that his old student recognized him.
So some small things on the bus journey. :)
