Night bus & lone girl

Every one surrounded the conductor,the driver was shivering,he sat on a cement slab."Sir everything ok"?? i asked the driver,,He raised his head n looked at me,he was sweating..if this had happened before this junction or in a straight road,we all would have died, he said.Now Im the one who got shocked,i searched for another cement slab 2 sit.but i couldn't find one.Oh God..I looked at the front left tyre of the bus.Tyre burst accidents are so dangerous..

You call the nearest Depot and arrange a bus,we should reach Trivandrum, one guy was almost yelling at the conductor."that's not possible,lets wait for the next Trivandrum bus to come,Ill make the arrangements,conductor said.

Other than the drivers comment,everything else sounded so cool to me,neither I'm in a hurry nor i have so many kilometers to travel.I just need to reach kaloor,almost 30 minutes travel from Angamaly,From there my friend will come to pick me,we will have food from some good restaurant.so ill wait for a low floor a/c bus.i don't belong to this havoc.

That girl again smiled at me.She was sitting on the side by seat in the previous bus.The dilemma of deciding the dishes for my dinner dint allow me to react to her smile.I saw her walking towards the conductor,they talked some thing.She walked towards me.Blue Nike T shirt with a white swoosh and "DO IT" writing,ash hooded sweat shirt,a big luggage and a small carry bag, converse shoes,colored hair."sorry i cant speak or read malayalam,will a get a bus if i wait here" she was worried.

Do i look like a station master ??i asked my self.I left the thought of food,"k where you wanna go"?? she paused for a moment ,"ALLEPPEY". Oh my place..where in ALLEPPEY ?? I wanted to ask,but unwanted quest can lead to huge responsibilities.

K The thing is that ,if u wait here you can get into the next Trivandrum or Allappey bus with this same ticket.i said.Will i get a seat?? she asked,I'm not a fortune teller,as usual this was also a mental dialogue.."I'm not sure..usually buses will be crowded at this time..i said with out any mercy. Shit,shit shit..she murmured.being the only female passenger without a male companion,she has got all the rights to worry at 8.45pm at a junction in Kerala.

A green bus arrived,Trivandum Express,fully crowded,everyone rushed towards the door,almost everyone got into the bus.The conductors talked each other and exchanged some papers.The bus left ,3 PEOPLE remained,conductor,Joe Thomas and The "DO IT" girl."How will you go" The conductor asked me,Ill take an A/c bus to Kaloor.K he replied and you madam??? will this a/c bus go to Ernakulam?she asked the conductor."Yes" He replied,"will i get an allappey bus from There?? she asked,he sed "Yes",Then I will go with him she replied.."WHAT?? GO WITH HIM??? I was shocked.

Conductor left,Low floor bus came.
She opened her purse,i peeped into it.One Ernakulam and one Kaloor,she got the tickets.."WHY WOULD YOU TAKE MY TICKET" I SHOUTED..chill jus a matter of 20 bucks.don't be a male chauvinist she said."Jesus what should i tell her".

By the way Im Sandra,Sandra Issac,working as a business analyst in Chennai.She introduced herself.Im Stephen..a freelance writer I replied,Cool,any way thanks for giving me company,I kinda feel safe now.MEN stare at girls in Kerala..Cheap real cheap.She was bitching about mallu men to another mallu man.It happens i just shrugged.She talked a lot,about tamil movies,,cuisines,her Kerala connections, etc etc.

2more Kms to KALOOR.she read the sign board,so its time for you to leave she sighed..Yea I said.

Stephen I'm extremely sorry i want to tell you something..she was sad.

I know what you are going to tell,i replied ,what??she asked

i took my bag and stood up

First thing that you are not going to Allappey
Second Thing Your name is Not Sandra Issac.I said,she was shocked,she gaped at me?? HOW DO U KNOW THAT??

First and foremost thing..the bus fare to Alappey from thrissur is 105 bucks,you gave a 100 buck and two 2 rs coin to the conductor in the first bus and he gave you 50 bucks back,,54 bucks ticket is to Ernakulam.

Secondly,A girl called Sandra Issac will never have Lord Krishnas photo inside her purse near to the mirror.i smiled.i know its real cheap to peep into a gals purse..

Stephen Im SO SORRY..I DONT BELIEVE GUYS THATS WHY...her eyes were filled..

Dont worry..u don't owe me an apology...its balanced...Cus MY NAME IS NOT STEPHEN N I'M NOT A FREELANCE WRITER..I SAID.n walked towards the door

THEN WHATS YOUR NAME..SHE ASKED

"KALOOR" The conductor said..the door got opened..i got down..bus moved..she was looking at me through the glass window..her eyes were filled...

the bus went away..i took my phone out..5 missed calls..n i din even know it..
