Wrong impressions

The man opposite me in the train was pretending to read a


newspaper. Every time I looked up, i found that he was looking at
me over the top of the paper. I pretended not to notice, but the
man's strange expression made me feel nervous. In the end, I could
.not bear it any longer, so I got up and went into the corridor
I stood next the door trying to be out of his sight and to avoid those
curious looks. Actually many doubts came across my mind since the
man seemed suspicious to me and probably with a different
.background
The train stopped in one of the stations but unfortunately a big
group of students got in with loud noise that turned the calm
atmosphere into noisy one. In such situation I found myself sneaking
back to the same place I've just left to find the man staring at me
again but this time with a weary smile. Meanwhile few words came
unexpectedly out of his mouth saying: "you remind me of my
."missing son
I was surprised at that moment, thinking of that saying "first
impression is the last impression" and I realized its wrong to believe
.always in it
The train stopped and the man got out of it giving me a gentle pat
on my shoulder as a signal of sympathy trying to avoid that painful
feeling he got just by looking at me in order not to remember his
.missing son
Now I became alone with no single thought keeps my mind busy but
."one:" never judge people by their appearance or behavior
