A Smoking Gentle Man

It was a busy day for me; I had a lot of things outside to get done. That includes my biggest time grabber shopping. Its not necessary to describe what shopping means to a girl and how much time she is gonna spend with her list. Though I didn’t have a big list, I had the necessity to travel from east to west to complete my purchase. So I was on the way with my dad for the purchases.

While riding, I, on noticing all others by the morning, told dad about how many people were seriously busy walking towards something in life. Dad exclaimed the same to me saying we cast everything to God and so had time to enjoy the journey.

By the time we reached where we had our first item in the list to be purchased, we parked the vehicle behind and walked on to climb a small stairs to locate the shop above. When we were walking through the corridor, I noticed 3 guys standing in formal dresses chatting together. By then I walked with my sight on the shop. Suddenly while facing the shop it faces them walking behind my dad something grabbed my eyes and I shocked and pleasantly surprised by his activity.

One guy who is standing there facing the shop was smoking and in noticing me (a girl) is gonna pass by, he grabbed his cigarette off the corridor as preventing the smokes from it afar from the passage area. I was stunned for a second by his gesture. I haven’t seen someone smoking and that too unknown, considering the feelings of fellow citizens especially women and children when they cross such things. I felt an urge to look at his face and salute him by heart. And I did it.
