And "Chivalry" prevails....

Me and Pojj were on our way back from Manhattan after watching the wonderful Monsters vs. Aliens - 3D made it just so perfect for the two of us. I think the experience was a complete delight.
So the point is, we took the express bus back home, which takes around 30 mins....Pojj was tired, his whole week had been crazy busy plus his commuting..(and this was Friday evening). So we both reached well in time and got seats next to each other on our way back. Pojj was almost on the verge of resting his head on my shoulder and I saw this lady standing right next to us carrying (cute big well rounded tummy). I looked once, and then looked at Pojj's face who was totally oblivious of the fact that someone was standing...then I looked at her again...and looked at Pojj's tired face....in those 5 seconds..I went through a serious guilt of being selfish. And finally, I could not hold anymore, nudged Pojj...would you mind getting up...the lady is carrying. This is the part that makes me proud - "of course!!" he said. He did not even think ...the lady thanked and occupied.

The rest of the journey, Pojj was happily standing, and the lady tried to unite us once, and moved back...but it was our tough luck cuz someone else came and sat next to me. I felt terrible - but I knew Pojj would not sit down even if I offered. Another attempt at reuniting us by the guy who took the seat....he offered to sit elsewhere and asked Pojj to come n be with me. :) I was really happy.

Though, the journey was just 30 mins..and I sat with Pojj for 5...the end made it totally worth it.


PS: Here is the "end" - me n pojj made friends with a lady (refer: talkative lady) while waiting to board the bus. She was carrying beautiful tulips and I complimented her on em...She told us how we should buy them from Manhattan as they are cheaper...and then we made a joke about how I would pester Pojj to buy em for me. Anyway, we sat on parallel seats and when Pojj offered his seat to the lady who was carrying..the talkative lady saw it all. She got off on a stop before us and before going...handed me 3 of those beautiful tulips... :) - she said "happy birthday or anniversary..." I think she assumed I would pester Pojj to buy me flowers cuz an occasion was close by...! The story ends here....with a snap of my flowers ...ahhh a day well spent!!
