Encounter: He Who Once Called Himself Major...

I was at Sitex 2008 with my female friend, helping her to look for a laptop sleeve. I saw him. The same he i swore i will speak to no more. He was walking towards me. I turned away. Before I could turn fully, he smiled at me. He nodded. His smile was kind, it was sincere. I smiled back, I nodded back. It was instinctive. I broke my own promise. I wonder why did i smile back.


Mayhap the Civilian Conversion Course did him plenty of good. Mayhap only the soldier in him was a devil. Mayhap i smiled back because the inner me was a polite, civilised person. For one thing i know, i will never forgive him, for what he did, right from the start.



Mayhap the smile means nothing.
