Why?

Why?

Running late again, she reached the bus stop and watched her 119 slowly roll in and come to a halt, right at her feet! Whoa! What happened? The bus is late today. Why?

She jumped in thankfully, smiling to the driver and the conductor and waded through the crowd. At the next stop……half the bus trundled out. What???Why?
Never mind… she sank into a seat nearby. Hmmmm such comfy seats…. she never knew! She felt the cool breeze blowing across the sea and felt herself relaxing. Good signs plenty! The day would be divine. Thank you God for always watching my back!
Disembarking near the office, she felt herself smiling radiantly as she sprinted into the elevator.
The office boy reverentially wished her “Good morning”. And so did the sour old uncle from the office nearby. Beaming at all with a melodious “Morning”, she reached her office and sniffed in the aroma of a freshly prepared masala chai!
How come?
Well not one to really analyse and dissect she moved towards that aromatic chai and laid her eyes on the most charming smile!
“ Hi! New here???
Welcome! I am Puja!”
And charming smile, became twinkling eyes and said, “Hello Puja! I am Anil!
Thanks for the welcome.
I am the new Regional manager.
Welcome to my team! “
She forgot all about the fragrant masala chai, as she realised Anil was none other than her old neighbour who had gone overseas to pursue higher studies a zillion years ago.
Someone,her mother always appreciated for being a thorough gentleman!
How come he was here?
Why?
A pondered on and a cup of the most delicious masala chai wound it’s way into her hands……
Elsewhere a bald gentleman with a flowing beard and twinkling eyes, with a smile that lit up the skies and the stars turned and said, “Bless you for always being kind and generous and my angel!”
Now do you wonder why?
