Oh, that romantic scratch in my car...

While in the car driving, when I am waiting for the light or in a heavy traffic jam, I am usually busy flipping through FM radio channels or listen to my fav music or make calls. But today morning there was an attention grabbing incident outside. No, not the street propaganda or door to door vote hunt for elections. It was a romantic bike chase.
The girl on her Scooty whizzed past on the right (managing to squeeze through opposite side traffic). The boy got onto the left side of my car and got stuck because of vehicles before him. She gave him that smile with "Hey, I am here ahead; you are behind, what a lazy boy are you?" kind of look. I see that the boy is going through a sea of emotions - joy from the fact that she is interested in him; excited because she is teasing him; perplexed because his eyes are not that adept enough to communicate and he doesn't want to use his mouth to shout above the traffic din attracting others' attention; frustrated because he is surrounded by vehicles and he is stuck. He lowered his neck and peeped into my car to have a brief look at the insensitive fellow Martian (that's yours truly) who is blocking his progress to the Venusian his heart is so fond of!
After 10 loooong seconds of such intense battle, the traffic cleared and he managed to catch up with this sweetheart, but in doing that he managed to leave behind a mark in my car! Yeah, every emotion leaves behind a scar, but if people mind on whose expense / wall the scar is made it would be of mighty help.

Indeed, 'twas good to watch live drama with flurry of emotions in such a flash free while waiting for traffic to clear up. But I am old enuf to know that nothing comes free in this world; so the scar is the price I've to pay I guess. I wish that bloke and his angel all well in their journey of emotions with the hope that they go through it together throughout!
