Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I wasnt able to control myself.Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the first hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.I dropped my head in shame. He must think I was crazy. May be I could turn toward him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. Im sorry, sir. Its just a really good book! But I didnt say anything.
