As he was walking by the street, from afar he could see her running hurriedly with bags and materials for her project. He unconsciously was walking towards her to help. He thought "What am I doing? What will I say to her to help in a way she won't mind." As he reached to her without thinking his hands moved to her bags and took off from her and said "Don't think I am helping you, I am only afraid you will fall. I am just saving myself from future trouble."
She felt relieved and a little annoyed with what he said but she knew he didn't mean any of those as he was a proud person. Since childhood he has been proud and had difficulties in being straightforward.
After he dropped her, he went back home and regretting about what he said to her the whole way. He didn't mean to say those but he couldn't bring himself to say anything other then those words.
