When an stranger waved at u!!

                                 

I am already late in leaving office now standing at bus stop,but there is no sign of my bus, no auto as well. the reason behind this, there is some road block by Anna's supporters. what to do now. Evening is now going to turn in night and Delhi in night or night in Delhi means not so safe.I am also new in Delhi among one of those girls who come to Metro from small town after having professional degree but seeing no job in there own town. 

Now i am seeing a bus coming & people are running to get in, i am not able to manage to get in, what to do now, what if i will be left alone here,, very worried then suddenly seeing a woman giving her hand to me, hope has returned. she is now pulling me inside the bus. I am in the bus now. She also managed to get a seat for her as some are reserved for ladies. She is very much talkative,in this crowed bus, full of body odor, even one cant breath freely,she is full of herself. She is telling me about her family, ill husband, her job as a cleaner in a good office, even without all these not so worth mentioning situations of life,she seems fine doing 9 to 6 job in office, performing double duty at home. Now i am not able to face this over crowed bus. People pushing each other intentionally or unintentionally, i am also not comfortable in this new high heel shoe. 

The woman stands up and offering me her seat, still telling me something. I have seat now, listening her more attentively. Now journey seems fine, she is not my friend and i don't share things with strangers but i have also stared telling her about me.Finally my stoppage has come, i am leaving seat and asking her to take it again, saying thanks.i have disappeared in crowed,get down from bus after a struggle.Feeling relief to see my bus stop,breathing in fresh air ( more fresh than was in crowed bus)after an hour or so. Suddenly the lady comes to my mind i turn to the bus, she still watching me from window, showing her ever smiling face without having more in life, SHE HAS CONCLUDED MY DAY, SHE IS NOW WAVING AT ME...
