He is a kind soul – an airport encounter with a kind person

I am not sure about you but i had an encounter this morning at the airport that I will not forget easily.

It was early in the morning around past 6 when I arrived at the Singapore Changi airport. I was supposed to be on my way for a 2 week business trip. After checked in, I went inside the terminal 3 which has a large shopping area. I love to shop and would want to buy something for my suppliers just to express appreciation. Nothing big, just the Singapore famous Bak Guah (BBQ pork).

Finally I felt a little urge, its time to go to the toilet. I went to the toilet close to gate 9 where I supposed to board the plane to Guangzhou. You see, every time I travel, I bring along with me a waist pouch with my passport, wallet etc inside it. I find this very convenient. However, I hardly and I think this is the first time I went to the toilet in the airport for ‘big business” (you know what that means). I had to take out my waist pouch, put it on top of the flat area right behind the toilet bowl.

After I did my business, I walked out, took my luggage, washed my hand and went outside Gate 9, sat down to read for a while. It was still early and the gate wasn’t open yet.

Suddenly I had this weird feelings crawling over my body, I had a shocked that I felt I was jumping from my seat. I realised that the waist pouch wasn’t with me! OH MY GOD!

I was really panic, I dropped my book into my bag and push the cart to the toilets with few times my bag dropped from my cart on to the floor. When I dashed into the toilet, I found the man who took over my toilet room was standing there looking at me.

I think he is an Indian. In his white long sleeve and brown pants, I asked him “have you seen my pouch? I left inside the toilet.” And he grinned a little and said, “I am waiting for you to return because there was someone inside there right now. I want to make sure that he didn’t take your pouch away. Now that you are here, I shall move on.”

I didn’t know how to express my gratitude but holding his hand with my both hands just thanking him.

I thank God for running into a kind soul. May God bless him!
