the beautiful encounter

note: this was originally written on my twitter, but i figured I’d share it here as well.

(on the Trans Jakarta, on my way home)

fell in love with a beautiful stranger. tee hee

i cant help but stare.

our eyes met. and we looked away, blushing and bashful.

our eyes met again, this time with the eyes of familiarity. and so we smiled with the little awkward nod. aww..

not exactly facing each other but in the view point of one another. suddenly this bus feels unoccupied with only us two.

my iPod plays the perfect soundtrack for this moment; Explosions in the Sky – the only moment we were alone.

we fiddle with our phones while listening to our music players and occasionally stealing glances.

i wonder what song is playing on his music player..

with this cold air conditioned bus, i wish it could freeze. i want to cherish this rare beautiful moment.

as the moist forms on the windows of the bus, i wish to signal him with a simple ‘hello’.

with each stop the bus makes, one by one a passenger leaves.

i look at you and you look at me.

and then. . .

”c’mon on babe, we’re here” said the girl next to you.

she stood up holding your hand. you then stood up as well. walking behind her, passing me by with a smile, out the door and you are gone..

goodbye and farewell, my beautiful stranger.. till we meet again..

well then, ladies and gentlemen, how did you like my short story of a beautiful but kinda sad encounter? hehe

I apologize to those who thought this actually happened to me. hahaha.. I felt inspired at that very moment to come up with this story. hihi
