A Page from my Old Diary

The day started with bright sunlight but I could not see it. Obviously, because I was sleeping. I woke up around 7:30 AM still wrapped in my favorite pink mattress. Then I was greeted by a glass of hot water offered by my mother. I quickly got up from my bed and dashed into the bathroom. Due to my schedule of going to walking and jogging I hurriedly searched for my face mask and socks. Then I took my phone and got out of the house wearing my sports shoes.

While walking, I was briefing myself on what I was going to do today. As I was walking around, I noticed a certain car which was around the speed of a walking person and then looked at the person driving the car. But I could not clearly see the person in the driver seat due to the window and the distance between us. But it was enough for me to know that the person in driver seat was a woman, who was also staring at the smartphone in her hand intensely. I assumed that she might have gotten lost while trying to get to her place. As I was thinking what I should do in order to help her, I heard a voice of a woman requesting someone to show her directions from my left side.

Yes, that someone was me. No, it could only be me, because there was no one in my surroundings except for the car and me. Nodding as if accepting the request, I jogged towards the car or more accurately the lady sitting in the car.

As I was closing in, the first thing I noticed was the woman whose voice was pleasant to ears was not as young as I thought she would be. Around 50, I guessed to myself. I could only guess as it was quite rude to ask of someone's age on first meeting and the person in front of me was even a woman. As I did not want to die early, I kept it to myself while noticing that she was alone in the car. I stopped myself as I was in talking distance. Then I greeted her and started showing her the way to the location mentioned.

As I was talking to her, I could see the transformation of her face which was grim and filled with worry when I started talking to her, to that of happiness and relief. I found that to be quite pleasant and my lips curved a little. The woman nodded, as if she understood everything and thanked me with a bright smile and a cheerful face, unlike her previous grim expression and started the car to go to the designated place.

As I continued on my path, I found happiness swell up inside me. I smiled a little but immediately returned to the previous solemn look as I saw that she was going to the place she wanted to go, similarly I have a place I dreamt to go. With renewed motivation and a bright face, I restarted the previously halted jogging.
