Chapter 2 - Jovial clouds but a crazy cruise.

My face was glowing with tempting expectations. The sky was giving me courageous support by giving glittering and sparkling rays of sunlight! The white and blue clouds touched my heart. It felt as if the clouds were happily swaying in the cold breeze.

The bus stand was just above five minutes from my house and though I did not mind walking up. On the way I had to even clear the milk bill amount and so I followed my planned schedule.

I was thankful to God for getting a seat in the bus which was getting over-crowded.

I sniffed some unpleasant odour. I was very confused as where this smell was coming from? I looked at the person sitting next to me. I almost got my answer!

Eww!! - I whispered.

He turned his attention towards me and I feared as he would do something! Has he heard what I said! Hundreds to thousands to millions of questions covered my head in a half a second!!! He was a black coloured man with heavy arms. He was way tall and strong!

Excuse me? Could you please get aside, my stop has come - he said with a smiling face.

I nodded and got aside for him to leave. I let my breath to go now! The goose bumps settled down on my skin.

I quickly sat on the window side - seat as it gave me some fresh air to breath in from the congested bus which was suffocating me.

But suddenly the bus started going in a curve way with high speed and everyone started falling and over lapping on each other. I too injured myself. My left hand index finger's nail got completely chipped off. The blood drained on my hand. I could not understand what was happening. 

Atlast! The bus terminated.

I was fallen down with my right hand covering my bag which got opened during this thing.

I heard few people shouting! I lead my right hand go off my bag and I stund up with a great difficulty.

When I looked around the bus, people were very badly wounded. Some were crying badly and rubbing their hands to their relatives or friends body who were fallen down with their head bleeding badly.

My mouth left wide open! I was too feeling dizzy because of my nail injury. It was paining me unconditionally.

The people sitting in the front seats told us that the bus driver was drunken!!! And it landed up with an accident of an old man.

The bus driver had actually smashed us to the core. We had to vacate the bus immediately and the cops too arrived. They took each ones statement about the following accident done by the bus driver. Then he lead go all of us. Ambulances were also called for wounded people.

I immediately went and sat in a cab and left to go the doctor. I was already half unconscious.

But I was very furious that my most important day was messed up cause of that drunken crazy person!!!!

No!  thats wrong, even you are too be blamed. It's your fault too! You were the one who chose to target your safety and enter a crowded bus rather than peacefully sitting in a cab and you know it!

My dreams felt to be fading away.... I was so happy today morning - I told myself.

On reaching the doctors clinic, lot of blood had already drained. I was lucky that there were only few patients waiting. They agreed for my turn to let go. I thanked them and Lord too!!!!

There's nothing to worry much! Take these pills. You will be fine in a few upcoming days. - the doctor said.

He did my dressing for my injury and he told me to come everyday for my dressing thing till it recovered. After which I left the clinic immediately.

On the way to home, my phone starting ringing. I received the call, it was my mom.

Hello! Hello Raina? I hope everything is fine, sorry to disturb you dear.

Yes yes! actually I am.......

What?? You are?!?

No...no, nothing! Nothing! Mom I am very busy.

I hunged up the phone before she could say anything.

If you were really concern of your mother,  you should  not have received her call. By doing this she would have understood that you are busy!

She will now worry more about you that why you suddenly disconnected her call.

I know but I could not understand what to do that particular moment! I couldn't help it! If I would have told the truth now, she would have kept crying and worrying till I reached home. And I did not want that to happen......

The taxi driver interrupted in my deep thoughts.

Madam!! Are you listening? The taxi cannot move ahead, its all jamed.

Yes! yes! ..... I said and got down.

I walked up that lane and reached home in 10-15 minutes.
