A gentleman at heart?

Aha, now is one of the most memorable moments in Star, one i could never forget. As true as it is, we can never fathom what it was in the human heart.

I studied late one night, returning to my dorm at around 2 am after intense studying. Everyone wasnt sleeping yet,they were just talking in the dorm by the time i got back. It was a tuesday nigetht i think, and i am very tired. too tired. I was in form five back then,getting ready for spm.

i got to my dorm, eyeing who was sleeping and who wasnt. I went to my locker, put the key in, unlocked it, and suddenly BAAAMMMCLLLIINKKK CLLLINKKK! I was shocked! My mirror was shattered!

Everyone looked at me. I didnt look back at them. I was pretty sure i didnt open it to hard to make it break. I was just thinking, how could this happen? the i whispered to my neighbour. He told me just now they were playing football and the ball hit my locker. I said, OHHH,OKAY..,and i began to collect the broken shards. It hurt, yes, i was Furious! Shit! How can they just watch me without helping me out? i just kept quiet, and continued to clean the mess up.

Suddenly, a fellow called shahrul came. He said he was sorry. he was a rugby guy, so it would be awkward for a rugby boy to say sorry. He volunteered in helping me out as he said he was the one who kicked the ball and it hit my locker. I was shocked, as the fact is i was never close to him at all.

After that, he pulled out his mirror from his locker to replace my broken one. I was completely shocked. I rejected his offer, but he insisted,and he placed his mirror carefully at the spot wehere a mirror should be in locker. By the time everything is over, everyone is still watching me. They may have thought i may go off shouting, but i resorted to keeping quiet.

Maybe it was guilt that gripped shahrul, but maybe, it was a sense of responsibility towards me that lead him to helping me out. I forgave him that night, and i respected him from that day on. A gentleman at heart.
