A Chat With A Prince

Laughter filled the small, glassed-room coffee shop that late afternoon. We just felt like laughing and laughing and laughing–simply to celebrate our friendship through the years–over some cozy drinks. All of a sudden, an unfamiliar woman who was sitting across from our table looked at us, but with kindness in her eyes. I didn’t mind her at first. 

It was another wonderful day when stories told seemed endless. But then a man who was in the same table with a woman who just gave us glances also tried to mind us a few times, and yet with a friendly, big smile. This time I got alarmed. 

“Don’t you think we are too loud, guys?” I asked my friends. They couldn’t agree more and so we slowed down and asked for an apology to the couple. 

“Oh, no, we are fine, don’t worry about it…” He said generously.

It took several hints before my curiosity has finally stirred up. Then I started to construe our situation especially when another woman approached the couple with reverence. She bowed before them the way a servant bows before the king. This alarmed me all the more. He must be the prince. And I was right.

Who would have thought from that seemingly annoying laughter evinced a wonderful memory that none of us will ever forget eternally–an unexpected favor from God to be able to chat with the Prince of Cambodia.  

  

The royal couple (the prince and his wife) was actually very assiduous to us despite our status in life–the ordinary ones. I don’t think we really deserve an amazing treatment like this from the royals like them. I was so overwhelmed with joy. And I’m forever grateful for this great surprise–an amazing conversation with the prince of this country. I found out days later that he actually the former prime Minister. 

My first time to this kind of a real-life-encounter with regal people–for sure angels brought them to us. They talked to us that no other royals have done. They chatted with us that no other nobles have dared. They also gave us their golden time to take photos with us that no other transcendent have offered.

“You’ll never know who you’ll be crossing path to in this life’s journey. And in an amazing way, who will you sitting next to. Millions are desperate to meet the royal family of Cambodia. And here is another effortless favor from God.” I posted on Facebook to express my uncontainable happiness for such beautiful moment.

      

Surprisingly they talked to us and went where ordinaries like us go. It was an extraordinary experience to stamp on our memories. Thanks your highness!
