Since I was a regular "suki", they are already familiar with me as to what flowers I buy that I don't even have to get out of the car. I just roll out my window and they would give my usual order then I pay.

When I was about to leave, the manang asked me to wait a while then when she returned, she handed me 3 red roses. I was dumbfounded for a while but I managed to say thank you. While I was entering the cemetery, it hit me - what a kind gesture from somebody of meager means. That is what made it extraordinary. That moment she was the bigger person than I because I was on the receiving end of her generosity. It moved me to tears.

WOW, you have a secret admirer.
