After the cantata at United Christian Church this past Sunday, I treated myself to lunch at the Spice King in the DK Market, where diversity internationally abounds through people, food and languages but mostly their unspoken words with smiles and nods.
It was a gift at Spice King that a young man from Ethiopia, who was impeccably dressed and came from worship. He helped me select my lunch, (Apparently, he is a Sunday regular.)
Jugbeer took my order. (Yes, Jugbeer is his name. It was funny because I did not doubt him yet my facial expression said something else. Jugbeer in an instant had me card him.) His family owns the restaurant.
I sat next to the television and begun to watch the Indian programming as I imagined myself in their dance sequence. Jugbeer brought me back to reality when he started talking with me from the counter. He told me about starting college in 2018 and a few more things.
Our selfie speaks volumes and Jugbeer spoke one more time after our photo. He smiled and said, “You have a jolly face.”
Jugbeer, move forth and hold onto the joy in your life. You will do well.
