Yesterday was one of the happiest days that I ever saw. Not that there was something really extraordinary about it, nor was it for the rains which made this place such an ethereal beauty. It was, however, a rather simple act of kindness, of graciousness that really touched me.
As it turned out, the breakfast was such that I didn't want to eat it. However, since I have been trying to save a little money for the past few months unsuccessfully, I thought about giving it a shot. Try as I did, I didn't find it palatable. Moreover, the amount was ungraciously less and so, I had to resort to buying a chocolate for myself.
When I presented a note of a hundred Rupees at the cafeteria counter, the man at the counter said that he did not have any change for it. Left with no other option, I was going to pull away from the counter when suddenly, a girl, a senior I suppose spoke to me. What she said and did made my day and made me forget my morning rush to get to the college on time.
She said to me, “Do you want something? I’ll buy it for you?”. Taken aback, I humbly refused, claiming that I would go to and buy myself a chocolate from elsewhere, while inside I was debating with myself whether I really would do that. She, however, insisted that I accepted her offer and went on to buy me a chocolate. It would be a lie to say that it didn't cross my mind that was she indeed buying me one when she did not know me, and when we had never met before. Ultimately, I wished to believe in her goodness and discarded all thoughts of any ulterior motives. That was a moment of a momentous release for me, for it is rather difficult for me to believe that the person floating in my gaze may not have any ulterior motives.
I was about to thank her for all she did when she just turned round and re- joined her friends who had been waiting for her behind us. Seeing her pull away with her group, I quelled my desire to ask her her name, so as to not interrupt them. We both went different ways.
In the evening, I went over to the cafeteria once again to buy the same chocolate that she had bought me. Thankfully, the man there had change for the hundred Rupees this time. I bought what I had intended to, then moved on, hoping that she would turn up there again the next,at the same moment and then, I would finally get the opportunity to ask her her name and thank her profusely.
