Debbie turned to look at her and smiled, “It’s okay. Don’t worry.”

With the card Carlos had given her, a paltry eight hundred and thirty dollars was not a problem, but it was a lot for a cleaning Lady who made only two or three thousand a month.

The members of the martial arts club at her university had submitted membership fees the day before. It happened that she was carrying sof the cash on her. Without hesitation, she decided to use it to help the lady out. There was an ATM around, from which she’d withdraw the samount to reimburse the club.

With that thought, she took eight hundred and fifty from her purse and handed it to the brat.

“Here, you have it. Keep the change.”

The young man felt embarrassed, but took the money all the same.

He grabbed his girlfriend’s hand and was ready to leave.

“Not so fast!” Debbie said calmly as she closed her purse.

The young couple looked back, puzzled.

Debbie pointed at the man’s shoes and said, “I paid the price.

Shouldn’t the shoes you’re wearing be mine now? You may go, but leave the shoes.”

The young man’s face turned livid, but he couldn’t figure out a line to retort, because what she had said was right. The onlookers started whispering and exchanging surprised glances at the unfolding drama.

Left with no choice, the man took his shoes off and tossed them on the floor.

The sight of the worn shoes sickened Debbie. She held one shoe by the laces between her thumb and index finger, and threw it in the air.

Lifting her right leg, she kicked the stinky shoe into the green bin at the cleaning Lady’s side.

After she had done the swith the other, the crowd clapped at her uprightness and cool moves.

After the couple fled the scene with embarrassment, the cleaning lady thanked Debbie in tears. Since the matter was settled, Debbie turned around and left. Behind her the cleaning lady’s emotional words and the crowd’s clapping filled the air.

Debbie had thought Carlos had left, but there he was, waiting for her not far from the crowd, in sunglasses, with hands in his trouser pockets.

Apologetically, she trotted to him.

“I thought you had left,” she said, feeling like a young girl again. A very different feeling from the forceful woman she had been while confronting the little brat.

Carlos opened his arms and received her with an embrace.

“I wouldn’t have been able to see my wife’s heroic acts if I had left. That would be a pity. I feel so honored to have you in my life.”

A long tago, Debbie was out shopping with Hayden when she saw something similar happening at another mall. Someone asked a beggar to pay over 100 dollars for a damaged battery charger. Debbie acted quickly, and paid the fine for him. As a reward, she got a tongue-Lashing from Hayden, who blamed her for her stupidity and snooping. She wondered whether Carlos thought the sof her.

Unsure what he would say, she kept her head down, and wouldn’t Look him in the eye. But she was dying to know what he was thinking.

“Um, I spent $830 today. And for spoor woman who needed it more than me.”
