Handsome Young Man

I was awaken by a sudden kick at my foot. I looked up to see a tall handsome young man sitting right in front of me. I was a little annoyed when he did not acknowledge to say sorry. He seemed to be oblivious and settled into his seat. Annoyed i went back to sleep again....

A few stations later, people started coming in. I started noticing this man in front of me. He has very nice features, fair skin, a little rosy cheek and muscular built. He is quite good looking. =)

While looking and observing him, i started noticing some strangely familiar things about him. Somehow his movements, the way he looked at things around him, the way he moved his head, the way he listened, the way he wore his bag, the way the wore his trousers..... they were so familiar.....

They reminded me of one of my children.

Having that thought in mind, gosh, he really did have some same behaviour as the child!

The way he looked at things, the way he tries to identify where the sounds were coming from. The way the turned his head and looked around to the window. The way he sniffed the air and lacking social skills, sniffed the guy next to him. The way he holds the hand rail and again lacking social skills, his hand went way beyond to the other person's seats. The way he stands up, and started hanging both his hand on the hand rail. And he started making some grunting sound. Hehehe..... I found it amusing. It was my first time seeing a full grown adult, a man, with similar behaviour of this child.

Looking at his actions, i had a feeling that this good looking man might or prolly have some special needs. Autism maybe? And true enough, i saw him wearing a special LRT pass card for OKU. =)

In that short little experience, i noticed how the girls around him started keeping a distance from him, some moved away. Some gave a wide eye, worried, scared look. Some smiled politely, knowing something is different about this guy.

I never knew which station this guy got off. But i do wonder, what happened throughout the rest of the ride. It might have been interesting. =)

Maybe, i'll just bump into him again...... ;D
