Companion

Today I was waiting for the train as usual but experience unusual thing. A lonely elderly Chinese woman came to me and speak Cantonese asking me whether the train going to “Flemington” (she can’t pronounce properly and initially I can’t understand what she said). I keep saying “Hah? Sorry?” I wasn’t sure what she is trying to say. Then she walked away silently. I looked at the sight of her disappointed back. I raised my voice in Cantonese and stopped her: “请问你说什么?” She turned back happily and with hope (I almost can see her “bright” star in her eyes.)

Usually, I don’t response to people talk to me randomly on the road. I don’t look at people on the road. So, often I don’t recognize any of my friends on the road. Today while I was on my way back from gym, I heard “Did you just came back from gym?” I walked away as usual. He repeated “Did you just came back from gym?” I looked back and nodded with “yes”. He is like my dad’s age, I don’t know him, but I saw him several times in the gym. He was very happy after hearing my response and we chatted awhile before he headed to gym and before I continue my journey back home.

So, what is all these about?

I came to a conclusion, I will go back to stay with my parents in the future. I need companion.
