Chapter 2 : A New Feeling
kept thinking about that voice the whole day.
I did not know his name.
I did not know his story.
Still, his words stayed in my heart.
Work felt slow that day.
My hands were busy, but my mind was not.
I felt strange, like something new had entered my life.
In the evening, I went back to the same bus stop.
I looked around without thinking.
He was standing there.
This time, he smiled.
"Your bus is always late," he said softly.
I smiled back for the first time in days.
"Yes," I replied. "It is."
We talked only for a few minutes.
About work.
About life.
When my bus came, I felt sad to leave.
I did not know why.
That night, I realized something.
Life had quietly started to change my heart.
As the bus moved away, I looked out of the window.
His face slowly disappeared, but the feeling stayed.
For the first time, my lonely heart felt a little hopeful.
