Kindness in the rain

I posted the status below on facebook earlier and it got 23 'likes' in 18 minutes. Okay, its not a massive figure, its not even impressive; but when you're a student who has not made any mark yet on this world - it makes you feel like a rock star. I digress.. 

"Because I'm stubborn and have little patience for draggy tropical rain, I decided to just walk under the rain from the train station. At one point, I stopped at a junction to wait for the cars to pass. A girl about my age who had passed by me earlier was there too. She noticed me and spontaneously came over to put her umbrella over my head, simply saying, "hujan" (rain) and walked with me until we parted at a corner. Thank you, stranger. Faith in humanity restored. 

I'm glad to have encountered this random act of kindness at a place filled with busy city people. There is still hope.
