.: stranger :.

Its a good thing that I have morning classes everyday.
It means I get free rides to school.
7 minutes of travelling time. I'd say Dad really know how to awake my senses.
Yes, I even checked blindspots for him.
Just in case. :p

An early start of the day also means I get to enjoy my personal time.
The usual breakfast and a good read, I am a happy girl.

Notice the mysterious auntie reading papers?

I mistook her for a cleaning lady until she came to me and started a conversation.
Her English was too fluent for a normal auntie. Her Malay put me to shame.
An intellectual stranger who asked me things Id never thought of.
'I heard a malay man can marry four, would you allow your husband to do that?'
Of course, I replied no. Some things are just not meant to be shared.
We talked. From lost childhood to generation gaps.
Time flies when you are having a good chat. I had to rush for class.
Bidding my goodbye, the normal 'auntie-nice-talking to you. go eat ure breakfast' - she left me with a startling remark.
'Girl, you are lucky.'

A strange encounter.
My walk back to main campus, I kept thinking of the unknown auntie.
Lucky?
I have been blessed. And I am thankful.

I was judgmental.
But you and I know that we will always be as such.

They say first impression counts.
