අදින් දවස් 2කට කලින් නොවැම්බර් 13 ඉරිදා. මහ කම්මැලි දවසක්. කරන්න කිසිම වැඩක් නෑ. උදේට කෑම කෑවා . රෙදි හේදුවා. පොඩ්ඩක් වෙලා ඇඳේ හාන්සි වෙලා හිටියා. නින්ද එන්නෙත් නැති තරමට කම්මැලියි. කරන්න දෙයක් හිතට එන්නෙම නෑ. පාරට බැහැලා ඉබාගාතෙ ඇවිදගෙන ගියා.
ඔහොම ඇවිදගෙන යනකොට යනකොට යනකොට .... මට දුටුවා මම යන පැත්තට විරුද්ධ දෙසට ඇවිදගෙන එන කාන්තාවන් දෙන්නෙක් . ඒ දෙන්නගෙ කියන්න තරම් විශේෂත්වයක්නම් මට මතක නෑ . ඒත් එකිනෙකා පහු කර යන ගමන් අපි අතරෙ පුංචි හිනාවක් හුවමාරු වුණා.
අපි එකිනෙකා පහු කරහෙන යද්දි ඒ දෙන්නා එක්වරම නතර වුණා . මාත් නතර වුණා. ඒ දෙන්නගේ මූණු වල තිබ්බේ උදවුවක් ඉල්ලන පෙනුමක්.
One lady said "
Shall I ask a Question ?"
I said "
Yes,OK" . I was thinking they are trying to ask about a place or road or some thing.
But
.
.
.
.
.
.
She look at me with very serious face and asked
.
.
"
What is happiness ?"
.
.
I was in "
mm,m,m,m,m,m,m" mode for few seconds , may be 15 seconds
I felt they need some answer other than "
I dont know"
.
.
.
I said "
Happiness is a state of mind"
.
.
The two ladies smiled at each other like they are thinking
that
I am an Idiot. I slightly embarrassed due due to the way they reacted for my answer :)
.
.
Then one lady took some book from her bag and opened it and
showed me some paragraph and asked me to read it.
It was some bible kind of book I read it. I cant remember what was there
But there were some phrases about happiness. I was reading it without understanding it much. I was confused what they will do next .
Even after finished reading it, I did not know what to tell next. I just gave a little smile :).
..
.
.
Then they asked Do you like to learn more about happiness
I said "
yes".
They gave me a leaflet and said "
Our address is there"
Quickly I realized they are belonging to "
Jehovah's Witnesses" group.
I said "
Thank you" and exit from the scene.
This was a very small unexpected incident last long in few minutes.
But still I was thinking "What is happiness ?"
and now I remember the answer for unexpected question.
