Sharing a story with you.

This is a story from the Star paper a long time ago.

A woman was in transit for a few hours at KLIA, hence she went to a book store and bought a bestseller and a pack of Ritz to kill time. She then went to look for a nice, more secluded seat to settle in temporarily. Finally finding the most ideal spot, she put her things down, relaxed herself, and took the book out to start on her reading.

The book was a good choice, she was soon deeply mesmerized with the plot and happily in her own world, oblivious to the surrounding. Out of a sudden, she realized there was this young chap seated a space next to her who was also reading a book and she wasn't aware when he came over. Well, not that he was any threat, but she made a point to herself to be more on alert.

Taking a deep breath and on ease again, she took the pack of Ritz on the chair next to her and opened it up, started munching and back continuing on the plot. Before she knew it, she realized that this chap was taking the cheese crackers to munch as well. Very soon, she noticed that as she took one, the other chap will take one right after and it went on.

Feeling uneasy and giving agitated glances to this chap, he was still annoying the hell out of her as he showed no signs of stopping, without any words of mannerism from him too. How rude, she thought.

Now then, the pack of crackers came to the last piece and both of them looked at it and looked at each other. She wondered what he will do and waited for his move. Shockingly and in disbelief, he took the last piece of cracker up, cracked it into 2 halves and he offered one halved to her! She gave a disgusted "hmmph!", took it from his hand, popped it into her mouth, threw her book into her hand luggage and hurriedly scurried off to her boarding gate.

She boarded her flight, found her seat, made herself comfortable yet again, but heart still thumping mad for the rudeness and arrogance of some people, she opened up her luggage and took her book out again to continue her reading. There it was, staring right back at her, was a pack of Ritz cheese crackers, untouched.

This story was just a summary, she had written with just the right jest of humour and I can't help laughing when I think about the look on her face and the thoughts that went in the young chap's mind while the above was taking place. It was so funny that I would still laugh silly when I think about it anytime anyplace.
