"If you don't know where to go, I shall bring you." he said that day. It will be a memory which perpetually will resurface amongst my worst memories so they could shine, just like his smile he give me.
Even if he wouldn't have looked at me, I would been able to read from his face that he wasn't a man came to the market for groceries, but to wander around and maybe without destination.
A man from such a high ranking social status, such a title, such grace, got on his knees in front of me, risking to stain he's cloud like white and pure robes. The edges of the material sewed flawlessly, reach the water weed basket made with close to no skill.
With almost no contact, it untied itself and from the basket was left nothing but a pile of weed.

"My apologies." he said noticing just that and not where else his garment touched.

"I would like to go back home..." I said, answering with nostalgic tone.

He, whom tried to gather the rotten water weed, posed and looked at me. His eyes judging my face.
I will never understand what he thought, but overall, he seemed moved from the bottom of his heart even if he didn't want to show it.

What if I brought up some misfortune happened to him..?
Shameless!

Never test the rich, if let alone no problems will follow. It's such a simple rule, but still I was able to mess up every second of our first meeting, to an extend I thought he was disgusted.
Keeping my head lowered I got back on fixing the basket but if wouldn't keep its form. I kept trying and trying again, there was no use, the weed once hard like wood now where more similar to seaweed, slimy. But I could never have the audacity to look the young man in the eye even if he didn't move away.

For a few times he tries to make eye contact, when I started to think to look pathetic, he spoke, "I said I shall bring you, so I will bring you home."
