Observer

Today was helping out and mum's shop.

As usual, time ticking away,
As expected, not many people.

Suddenly, a guy came in
Wearing a black T-shirt, looking like any guy you can find on the street...

I thought he came in to sell things, or...giving out leaflets
He simply pointed at the bag by the display window,
I nodded.

My mum knows who he is.
He came before, with a girl.
I began to write his bill
He asked "You normally close the shop on Sunday?
I looked up
Conversation continues:

"Where do you work?"
"Tsim Sha Tsui"
"You came all the way from Tsim Sha Tsui?"
"No, it's my day off. I live in Yuen Long"

I smiled secretly.
"For your girlfriend?"
"Yes, was going to get this for her birthday, but now for her work"

I saw my mum, wrapping up the bag nicely for him
I handed in the bill with both hands, he smiled and took the bag from my mum.
Walking out of the shop promptly.

I looked out at the window, watching his back disappearing in a distance.

As an observer, I cant help, but feeling envious for the first time for that girl.
