Unseen Face

A slow morning city bus ride, new born sun of the day by my side, vehicles surrounded in traffic with no space to move and the dust floating in air. A girl in gear bicycle, waiting for the road go green..    

Long sparkling gold earrings hanging in between her brown curly hair, coruscating face skin below the natural glaze, sweat rolling down the neck making her green kurti dark, sliding her cycle with one leg on footpath and another in bicycle pedal, and haha yes thick slippers to make her look tall.  

A push through her leg on footpath, there she goes as the red turn green. Her fast actions attracted me and my eyes never took off from her.. five traffic signals and yet the bus never crossed her, sixth traffic signal and I stood with the same curiosity that I had in first signal to see her face but then she had a different path to travel.
