Serendipity / صدفه

My day was all about finishing some errands and the dentist was the last stop. I left the clinic to attend my "retardedly" parked car. Parking was and will always be my weakness point so i decided to create my own parking space. My little mini is parked right at the turn of the small parking lot giving space to only another mini sized car to pass. In other words, i blocked the way...

There's a crowd of four people beside my mini. With the press of the key button, the mini announces that its loyal driver is here and the crowd of four turn around to meet me. Suddenly, all i hear is a series of complaints about how disrespectful i am to public. One of the men was becoming too hostile. His conversation stirred to become louder and very criticizing of women driving. Apologizing won't do by now and i don't want to apologize either, he is being rude, sexist and scary. I walk hurriedly to the door of my car but drop the keys while I'm at it. Clumsy genes, this is not the time. Oh God please help me.

"Never raise your voice at a lady. You're scaring her with this attitude!" .. without hesitance i glance to the direction of the deep husky voice.
"You see!!" tries the rude man pointing at my little mini
"You, should see, that she's about to move her car... Leave."

No.
This is not happening.
I stood there for a while taking in what is before me. Him is here. Him is saving me again. Tiny fairies dance happily in my head, clapping and jumping around.
The sun rays shower him from the top right creating a halo of light around him. A true image of a hero. His square shaped face with strong jaw line are complimented with his short, messy hair. There's a scar on his right, thick but neat, eyebrow. His glittering amber gold eyes locked into mine. They're dazzling.
His eyes soften as they crease to match the smile that is taking over his expression. TOO. MUCH.

And then it hit me. For how long was i staring?!

"Your keys,"

I try to occupy my brain with the simple mechanics of moving my hands to take the keys, then open the drivers seat door.
I start the car, check the mirrors and do any simple act just to look normal. I bet I looked far from normal.
I dart my eyes to find him standing still and looking at me with pure humor in his expression. I manage to find my way out of the parking lot.

The universe is working its match making skills at my expense. A notice would be very kind you know, to prevent this silly whatever thing that just happened.

He was smiling. Did i smile?...
