It’s been a long day…and you know it’s gonna be a long way back home…It’s been raining right since you hit the road…You have always loved the rains…But today the drops seem to be coming down to get you…and they seem so cold….they never felt this way…..Maybe it’s the rain….maybe it’s you…but something doesn’t feel right…either on the outside…or somewhere within…you ain’t sure where….

There are so many people at the bus stop…there always are so many people everywhere…It’s almost impossible to find your space in this space that you manage to get….It’s 15 minutes now and the bus hasn’t turned up as of yet…you see the people around you getting frustrated...... and you feel proud about the fact that you are a patient one…always have been….or have had to be…… have been forced to be…..lol….you don’t want to get into the details…..

You can see an empty 17E bus in the distance.This one will drop you just outside your building.You feel your lips broadening up.Time to get lucky….You’ve always had to change buses while going back home.This bus never did care to come when you were around.Today, surely feels different now……There’s heavy traffic and the bus seems to be caught up in it, some 20 metres from the bus stop.The driver is honking like a kid getting late for his exam, waiting for his dad to get his tie knotted and get into the car. You ain’t sure if it is for the people at the stop to come and get in or for the vehicles ahead to move on…..The people around you are rushing towards the bus….you decide not to follow them….the bus will stop at the stop anyways…..you can see a few like minded people around you holding ground and your confidence level goes up…..The signal ahead of the stop turns green…the traffic disperses…..the bus picks up speed……..and doesn’t slow down at the stop…Bad miss….It’s raining heavily again…

It’s 20 minutes now since you last saw that bus… …and another one hasn’t turned up since then….. they never take so much time every day …the crowd is thickening up ….. ……that’s when you see the 17D bus, the one you unhesitatingly take everyday…..come fully loaded with passengers…..it’s a little more crowded than it normally is….you should manage to find a footing anyways…….you see everybody rush towards the bus…..you start thinking about the one you managed to miss……and your heart doesn’t want to get into this bus filled wid wet clothes…….you decide that the next bus should come in quick since this one took a long time…….and you see this bus off too…..this time with no one on your side……The rain just doesn’t seem to stop…..

Your presumptions were wrong…..the next bus didn’t follow up the filled one as you thought it will….It’s been more than an hour at the bus stop now……That’s when you see a 17D rushing in from the distance….It’s a little more filled than the one you let go….but you don’t give a damn…you just wanna take a bus and go home….But this one doesn’t decide to stop for the only passenger at the stop…..The driver is more interested in beating the green signal just ahead of the bus stop he is about to miss……You can’t believe this….you run after the bus……you just don’t want to miss this one…..you keep running……onto a flyover and down it….but the bus never slows down…but you have to……your legs ain’t used to keeping up with such high speeds……The rain is pouring into your eyes…… You stop….watching the bus fade away in the distance…....you ain’t sure whether you should walk over to the next bus stop or the previous one….you are in the middle of nowhere…..you turn back coz you ain’t sure how much further down the road the next bus stop might be……and that’s when you see an empty 17E zoom past you and throw up lots of muddy water onto your face as its wheels gush into the puddle, the rains homed into…..It’s not raining anymore….but your eyes don’t seem to feel to difference……

You take an auto to the nearest pub….so much for saving money for the day….lol

Moral of the story : The next bus is never gonna be as nice as the one you managed to
miss…But you might as well take it……coz what’s gone never
returns….and what you are about to let go, for something better, is
what you’ll end up missing sometime later for sure……

P.S.: You can afford to miss a bus now, only if you have got the cash to pay up for an auto

later...lol
