In Moments Like These

"Move one side," she said in Mandarin.
Neither "please" was mentioned 
nor a friendly tone was used. 

I was shocked.
I was appalled. 
I was there first;
only a few seconds earlier.

She could have waited for her turn
to look at the very lovely household items.
The place was not crowded at all then.

Fortunately, I recognised who she was
before I opened my mouth. 
For the greater good 
of my dearest and nearest,
I kept my silence and walked away.

This incident happened three Mondays ago.

Her identity will forever remain a secret
between I, me and myself :)
