For long, Public buses have been looked down upon. But they have their own advantages. For one, they give you full time entertainment if you are in mood to take it. To me, it gave a food for thought. Last evening my first apprehension, on boarding the bus, was not about the seat or the crowd, but how to spend the half an hour I had to travel in it. I pray God to take care of my every apprehension the way he did yesterday. Luckily I got a good seat and the bus was pretty empty. As an icing on the cake, there was a girl sitting beside me chatting with her boyfriend on her mobile.
How do I know if he was his Boyfriend?
You would know soon…
It was difficult not to pay heed to her conversation being in such close proximity. Here’s what I remember of it -
Girl: You spoilt my 4 hrs.
A small pause.
Girl: You know I couldn’t even concentrate on my assignment. I kept goofing up.
A longer pause.
Girl: Don’t repeat it next time. When you fight with me, my whole world starts revolving round it. I keep wondering where I went wrong. I even keep checking my mobile every minute for your messages, if any.
The guy might have tried to put his stand but the girl interrupts.
Girl: Don’t give me such lame excuses. You know I know you well enough to accept those.
This time, an even longer pause.
Girl (finally): I agree. Nothing is more important than both of us expressing our true feelings, even if they cause conflict. But promise me we’ll patch up within a few hours each time. I can’t stay beyond that without speaking to you.
I exclaimed, “O My Lord! What a sweet thing to say.”
The girl turned around, looked at me smiling, realized I had been listening to her conversation throughout, felt a little sheepish, and disconnected after asking him to call up after a while.
My destination had arrived. I got down feeding my memory bank to remember the phrase when updating this love-sign. I couldn't help mumbling -
