Going Downstairs

This afternoon, right after I had finished my Zuhur pray at a mushola on the 3rd floor with a friend of mine, Nanda, we walked down the aisle, turned left, and then went downstairs. Nanda was hopping from one step to another. It made me wonder and asked her, ‘what’s gotten into you?’ She replied cheerfully, ‘I’m a fun person’. I only nodded. I didn’t have the energy to do so. Hmmm well, I just didn’t want to.
In my half way, I met a professor. She’s quite an old lady but I’m not really sure how old is she. She walked before me. Really … R-E-A-L-L-Y slow.
Meanwhile, Nanda was still hoping all her way down.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mind being stuck behind. I really enjoyed watching these two women walking very differently. I barely can help not think about this view right in front of my eyes.
The young one, Nanda, she’s in her mid 20′s, just like me. We represent youth generation. We still have this enormous spirit within. We still can conquer the world in any path we choose to take.
The professor, on the other side, I wondered, how many world has she conquered? How many steps has she taken? How many hop has she made? Then, I convinced myself, I have the right to walk slowly when I am as old as her. When my steps are as much as hers.

Suddenly the professor said, ‘you go first because I walk really slowly.’ There I smiled and passed her by, hopped one step to another.

Thank you Prof :)

cheers,

Ade
