Me & Him

It was a sunny day, a day of April. I was on the metro, reading this book that i bought yesterday. I was listening to my favorite music on my ipod, trying to avoid the little shit-chat between two high school girls. I noticed that this man beside me sneaking on my book .I hate when people do that, i never did it, i think it's impolite. So i close my book, and put it in my pocket. He turned away giving me his back. I don't care a lot if he didn't like what i had just did. I started looking in people faces, i like doing that in the public transport. Usually lonely passengers have sad faces, and seems to be thinking. In front of me there was a man. He was smiling, it was a smile of happiness. I found that a little bit strange, that some one smile from nothing in a public transport. I had never seen that before. And that question raised to me "Is He really Happy ?". I don't think that, nobody is happy, that was a silly thought. But suddenly he smiled again, that made me a little bit uncomfortable. "Maybe he is in Love". And that second silly thought made smile. So maybe he just smile because he is looking at someone that smile and he is laughing like what i was doing. So i took a little look in front of him and tried to find someone smiling. Nobody is smiling as usual, everybody is thinking with their sad faces. I thought why don't i just ask him, but i can't. You can't go to someone you don't know and ask him if he is Happy or if he is in Love. So i took the chance when the metro stopped, the two high school girls stepped down the train and they made a fine space empty to engage a conversation with the strange man. I told him that we finally have some space. He smiled at me and ask me if he can come closer for some space. My plan worked very well. I smiled back and left him some space. He seemed slightly nervous, i asked him if he was okey. He told me that really he was nervous, because his wife is giving birth now for his first child and it's a girl. In a moment i felt like his going to cry. But no he didn't. I thought what is making him nervous is he the one lying on the birth bed ??!! He told me that he had already picked a name for his baby girl and so exited about raising her. I thought back then how silly a man can be, always making dreams and plans, especially parents.
