 " AFKAR"

     A beautiful woman..I met her in the bus ..she sat near me ..asked me about the time ..made me talk about the wether,the heat,the fresh air which come from time to time ,especially at night .. the pollution which has swept evrythink.. we went down the bus in the same station ..walked in the same street,..have spoken about life ..work ..love and death ..evry time she goes down a street, I go with her and she comes with me in every step ..

I asked her:

- do we know each other to this extent ?! 

She smiled and replied:

- I have a deep feeling that you are not a stranger for me.

- We can be friends then ?!

-And more than friends if you like!

- I would like you for me alone

 she lauphed and slipped in an other street . Igo after her ..she pushed me violently . I asked her for the reason of her anger , she does not answer , for her name , she smiled and said:

-My name is "AFKAR" (Intentions) and yours is "STONE" !and when you get rid of your selfisheness , you will find me too close to you.
