Bus Angels

Received a call from an unknown number. 

"Hello Mdm, this is the bus captain of 43. My bus broke down but your son doesn't want to get down." 

Me: "Can you put him on the next Bus 43 and ask the driver to alert him at Siglap mrt?" 

"Ok, but he just sits there." 

Me: "Can he stay on your bus until the next bus comes?" 

"Can, until the tow truck comes. He is just sitting there, no response." 

Me: "Oh, he doesn't talk." 

"Maybe you can talk to him?" 

Me: "Calder, your bus is spoilt. Bus uncle will help you change to another bus, and you alight at Siglap mrt, ok?" 

(No response)

"Mdm, the next bus is here." 

Me: "Can you bring him over?" 

"I go and talk to the bus captain first... Ok Mdm, the bus captain has ferried him before. He knows what to do. Your son is now on the other bus. "

Me: "Thank you! Thank you so much. "

Beeps

Yesterday, Calder and I arrived at the bus stop a bit late. We were still a distance away when Bus 43 arrived. Oops, looks like he's going to miss the bus, I thought. Strangely, the bus didn't move off. Then we heard beeps from the bus horn. When I gazed into the tinted glass, I recognized our favorite bus driver. (He was the one who exclaimed "no problem!" the first time I asked him to alert Calder at Siglap mrt.) He was waiting for Calder to board his bus. He waved and I didn't even need to convey my request before he announced: I will watch over him (我会看他)! Today we arrived at the bus stop earlier than usual. As the bus approached, we heard beeps again. It's the same driver waving at us. I do not know his name but I'm so thankful for people like him who obviously enjoy their work and who go the extra mile to be a blessing to others.
