I saw her again today, still the same cheerful girl, giving me a warm and sweet smile when I pass the bread that I’m buying over to her, she carefully pack it into the plastic bag and pass it back to me, quoting the ever sweet and familiar “Two Dollars”. I pass a ten dollar note to her and she gave me back the change, less then 2 minutes of meetup as usual, but it makes my day.
It has already been 3 weeks, I have been buying bread from her daily, what attracts me to the bread ? it’s this lady and the convenience of the store location. but also somethng else, which I cannot really relate to, it’s a special feeling.
I thought of cracking a joke everyday to make her smile and get to know her more, but with my limited speech capibility, the most I can manage is “Hi” “Thank You” “Bye Bye”. I hope I can manage more, but then everytime I saw her, My tongue is tight, Inside my mind I want to speak but no words come out.
