The Power Of "Sorry"
the power of sorry
Linda had just finished dressing for a wedding party. It was her best friend's wedding party taking place at the prestigious Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos. She dressed in her best attire.
She was holding an umbrella because it was drizzling after a heavy downpour. She stood by a bus stop waiting for the next available taxi to pass.
There were two dogs playing at another adjoining road. This caught Linda's attention as the dogs where busy jumping and scratching each other. "These dogs are not bothered about the drizzle and the pool of water by the road sides." Linda thought. Hardly had she finished thinking about this had some thick dirty water splashed on her face. A man in a Rolls Royce car had unwittingly hit a pool of water in the middle of the road that sent water splashing in all direction.
"What the hell," Linda shouted. "Are you crazy?" She continued. The man had just parked by the side and walked down to the furious Linda. "I am sorry," Madam, a gentle voice apologized."It was a mistake." Linda was obviously very angry. Her white linen clothe she had wanted to use to mesmerize all at the wedding party had been completely soiled with dirty water.
She looked at the man who was standing just few feet away from her and looked at herself again still in shock about what happened. "Please madam, I am sorry. Can I take you back home so that you can change?" The man inquired. This second "sorry" swept away all the anger in Linda's heart as she replied with "It is okay, Sir. It was not your fault"
Mr Augustine took Linda back home where she dressed into another clothe. She was then dropped at the party by Augustine after which they exchanged contact. Augustine happened to be a doctor practicing in Washington DC. He was home on holidays. One thing led to another and they got married two years after.
