After work, I was waiting for my bus outside my office. It had been a very long and tiring day. My head ached slightly. The winter chill was creeping in.
I saw my bus from far and I started walking towards it.
Suddenly, but slowly another car came across me from our building parking lot moving onto the main road. I took an abrupt stop from my slow walk towards my bus which was still nearing towards my spot, to let the car pass by.
The car too halted. He could drive ahead but he didn’t. I noticed that the car had stopped for me to cross onto the main road. I resumed my paces.
When I was infront of the car, I turned my head. I had a quick glimpse of him through the shaded glass. He was looking at me. Then he smiled. Not a grin. Not a toothy laugh. Just a slight change of shape of his lips. I read it as a smile. I was having a frown on my face. I guess the headache was catching up. I turned my head away. But I am pretty sure that he too noticed it. That change of shape of my lips. A smile maybe.
I stressed my ears while I was walking to my bus to hear his car move. It didn’t.
After being seated in my bus, my peacock view told me he was still there.
My one hour trip on the bus, I didn’t feel any pain. The smiles reigned my thought.
after all, its me.....
