Pleasant Chance Meeting

I drew a fish in the sand. The girl in front of me drew a crescent moon and a star. She asked if I ever had Indonesian food, then offered to make me some after her prayer.

I enjoyed the food; and her company. She looked me in the eyes, her own of deep brown projecting out of holy white. Her smile was a lullaby. She tucked her hair into her veil and wore nothing on her feet.

After our meal, we took a stroll through her neighborhood and waved goodbye.
