@#!$%&*X

The weather on that day was so hot and H felt like if he breaks an egg on the surface of the road, it would immediately cooked and he could possibly eat it on the spot. H was sweating profusely as if he is jogging at the moment. Making his day on that day worse was that there was no wind blowing except for the sun rays stinging his skin whenever the rays 'touch' his skin. He rushed to the town bus stop and waited for a bus there.

For two hours H waited for a bus to come. The weather or even his condition there; sweating profusely never got better. He felt like he was now inside an oven or a microwave, sitting there under the town bus stop for almost two hours in such weather and condition.

H waited for a bus there when a middle-aged woman (X) came and sat beside him. H was not, in whatever means or ways, even has the slight indication of interest towards the woman who sat beside him though he did give a glimpse to her and gave her a smile and a nod. Honestly, he has nothing inside his mind but for the bad condition he was facing; sweating profusely, and the extreme hot weather on that day.

There was a silent between them for about thirty minutes. Feeling that such was an awkward moment and what more of him being in such a bad condition with his non-stop sweating, H thought that what could possible go wrong if he breaks the ice, so to speak, by having a light chat with the woman beside him. After all, his lips felt like glued together already after been there, sitting and waiting alone for a bus at the bus stop for two hours and another thirty minutes of silence when the middle-aged woman came and sat beside him. So H started breaking the ice...so as he thought on that day~

H: Hi~
X: Hi~

H: kind of hot today, eh?
X: Huh~ Well, thank you. It is so kind of you.

H: Huh~???
X: I noticed that everybody was looking at me wherever I go today but none ever dare to praise me.

H: Err??
X: And all that changed when I met you.

H: ... *speechless*
X: I know there would be someone,at least, someone out from nowhere would praise me of my looks today. And thank goodness, you showed up and did just that.

H: ... *still speechless*
X: As for in return for your kindness, I'll give you my hand phone number.

H: Miss, I think you have misunderstood me. What I meant just now was that...
X: It's ok. I know. I understand you shyness for being honest to me just now. Men always like that and it is normal. So, don't worry too much, err...

H: H is my name.
X: Ah~ Don't worry too much H because you just made my day and I shall give you my hand phone number for that. Now, if could please take my number.

H: ....
