ONE MINUTE

It was a magical moment for me.

The traffic light was red. We were listening to Too Phat's "Alhamdulillah" on the radio when Nunu suddenly sneezed. I smiled at her and said to her "Yarhamkillah".

A moment later, I sneezed - TWICE, and managed to slip a few loud "alhamdulillah!" in between and after, while shaking my head to get my brain matter balanced.

I turned to Nunu and she was smiling softly at me, the kind of smile that gleams and you can see the amused twinkle in her eyes. We stared and smiled at each other quietly. She remained smiling at me for a whole minute or so, until I had to tear my eyes away from her and continue driving when the lights turned green.

I'm still thinking about that smile. Sure beats the Monday blues away.

Alhamdulillah...
