Ego massage

This human mind…what to tell you ya?
I was crossing a side lane linking the main Sharjah road.
A car was about to turn. I stopped. The motorist was talking on the mobile while driving and applied the brake close to me.
The moment I stopped, he started the vehicle. Then he stopped. I started to cross. But he started.
Payithiam…(Mentally challenged)..I was cursing him in Tamil. Four-letter words were lining up in my mind. I looked at him with fury.
He halted the car close to me, took off his mobile and smiled, “Sorry boss.”
Pusssss. It was just like removing the air valve from a cycle tube.
“Hehe..No problem, sir. It is not your mistake…”
You should have seen me gratifying him.
Just one sorry. What an ego massage.
