Goodbye

17th July 2021


Today returning from Dadar, I was too exhausted, as I was waiting for the bus in busy raining afternoon from the last 30 minutes the bus arrived which was numbered as 504 Nerul bus stop

As soon as I got into the bus, luckily I got the last window seat in the bus, I immediately plugged my earphones to forget the chaos in the bus and to enjoy the pleasant raining


After 30 min of pleasant ride, the bus took a halt at a stop and as I saw a couple walked to the bus, they seemed young, as I can predict they were hardily 22 years as my experience

but surprisingly  the guy reduced its pace as bus came closer, and the girl hopped in the bus, she seemed pretty although I didn’t saw her face, she too got the seat and immediately started to scroll on her phone.

Then as human instinct I examined the guy, He seem uneasy to me and was peeping inside the bus to see her. I immediately started to compare him with me, don’t judge me I know all of you too do that things, it is what it is.

To be surprised he seemed too desperate while his eyes were scanning her.

In a reflex I glanced towards her, but she was still busy in her phone, irrespective that her guy was desperately looking towards her,

As I again looked at him, I realize by his eyes he was hoping or wanted to wave at her and to say goodbye, his eyes were screaming her name, but his lips were sealed, like he wanted to say it but wasn’t able to or hoping that she would take the initiative.

And then the engine roared and bus was in motion now, and his face was completely blue, it was like I felt his pain, I too felt bad when his face fell

But I guess the destiny was in favor of him, the bus suddenly stopped at signal, hardly 100 meters from the bus stop, my eyes suddenly searched him, and too my supersized he ran towards the bus, I wanted to scream to support  and appreciate his  efforts. 

Within in seconds he reached towards the bus, and finally he took his phone off his pants, dialed someone and I knew who that person was, in a matter of seconds her phone ranged in the bus, she picked it up without knowing that he was waiting for her just 50 meters away.

While all of this was happening I felt to connected to this unknown guy, I don’t know why but I wanted that, he gets what he wanted

It was a sweet moment that brushed my heart with an fruitful past memory, back in time I too stood at a bus stop, when she hopped In the bus, I too hoped a goodbye from her, my eyes too were screaming for her to wave at me, 

But sadly life is not a Bollywood films and neither I’m Shahrukh khan, so nothing happened, in fact I just stood there at the bus stop alone watching the bus in hope until it vanished in the busy road 

(Back to the present reality)

She picked it up without knowing that he was waiting for her just 50 meters away and within seconds she looked out of window

She looked at him, I looked at him, and now I could see the glow in his eyes and a bright smile on his face and the guy got what he was hoping.

It wasn’t diamonds or pearls he wanted, rather he wanted was:- 


A GOODBYE!
