A sign of being available for a relationship

Some months ago maybe this year’s February I was looking for an auto- rickshaw & so was a mongoloid female with 2 heavy bags. She was fair & with the help of colours had made her black hair become blonde. I found her struggling maybe because of the new place, hot weather, slow wind speed, high humidity, heavy luggage, etc. The hot weather even at around 17:00 hrs had made her face red. She was sweating a lot. There weren’t many people around.

After a long wait I got an auto-rickshaw before her. She looked at me with an expectation for the auto-rickshaw to be shared. Luckily we both were heading to the same direction hence shared the auto-rickshaw. In the auto-rickshaw I offered her water. The distance was long so we got to speak for some time. I asked her, ‘Are you new to this city?’ She replied, ‘Yes, I’m new to Mumbai & I’m from China.’ After a while she asked, ‘Do you reside in Mumbai?’ I remember answering yes enthusiastically. We spoke a lot about the positive aspects Chinese people have. She found it pleasing & found me knowledgeable & helpful person & took my phone number.

Some days later she contacted me as she wanted to visit some places in Mumbai for shopping economically. I helped her to do that. Whenever we met I noticed her wearing a flower on her left ear.

One day we were discussing Asia’s future due to climate change & she got to know that I know Astrology. She shared her birth details with me & I told her that soon someone is going to fall in love with you.

After some days she met & asked, ‘Am I not looking different today?’ I didn’t find her different but just to put a smile on her face said ‘You look pretty always but today you’re looking gorgeous ’My reply worked & she smiled but again asked me the same question & I became a bit blank as I didn’t know what to say.

She then asked, ‘Didn’t you notice I’m wearing a flower on my right ear today.’ I answered, ‘Yes.’ but asked, ‘What’s the big deal with it?’

She found me too innocent & naive. After some time she said, ‘A woman wearing a flower on her left ear means that she is available for a relationship & if it’s on her right ear then it means that she is either in a relationship or unavailable.’

I was glad to have learnt something that I didn’t know. I was overjoyed by the fact that she found someone who’ll accompany her for shopping & I can make myself scarce to complete my Master’s research.

To check if what she had told really had some significance I did a bit of Google search & found that wearing flowers on ears is a trend amongst Hawaiian women. I who follows Hawaiian path, Aloha didn’t know about it.
