We got off the bus and went inside the station where we have to wait for our next destination where mine was going to be different from hers. We went to the waiting room and sat next to each other. She leaned toward me and hugged tight and said: "that is not fair. I just met you and I feel that you are the man of my dream, while I know that you will leave me in few minutes"... I looked at her and said "well it is not the end of the world. We will keep in touch and we can be a long distance friend and see how it goes" I know down deep inside that would never happened not because I didn't like her, but I knew myself pretty well that I would be very careful and suspicious when it came to a long term relationship. Besides, she was venerable and broken at that time and saying otherwise wouldn't be a good idea. I said to myself just be the one she needed me to be and not for long I would be just a good memory for her. She hugged me even stronger and she put her head against my chest and broke down in tears. I felt very emotional down deep inside and I was going to say something, but something held me back and I thought whatever I would say then I might regret later, so I kept quiet.
Sitting in the same room and in the row In the front of us, there was an old married couple which we didn't pay attention too at first. They were obviously mumbling about us and they probably heard us talking and they wanted obviously to offer their life experience with us. The old man looked at me and said" trust me son you don't want her to go. You don't find someone who loves the way she obviously does to you every day. Please don't let go you might regret that your entire life" I was going to say to him that we just met and things were not what they looked. But I was shocked when I heard "Tammy" saying "I would stay with him if he ask me too" she said that while her tears running down on her face. I was stunned by her reaction, especially, the look I got from those old couple made feel that I was the bad guy then and the happiness of the world rely on whether I asked her to stay with me or not. The old man broke my thoughts "son you don't need to think much there is a church just behind the station and it is open now take your love bird and get marry and make yourself happy for the rest of your life". He continued with his speech saying "everyone here sees the fact that you are both madly in love and it is in your hand to keep that love alive. I was going to tell him that you can rush these things and we just met and I will keep in touch with her after she would leave and see how things go, but an announcement broke our conversation claiming Tammy's bus is about to leave and asking all passengers to be on it soon. Tammy looked at me and I looked back at her, her eyes were asking me if I want her to leave or to stay. Well, part of me was saying please stay, but the other part wanted me to wait and let everything take its course and see what would happen. I think Tammy got the message...she hugged me tight as if it was the last time then she let go and ran outside the room crying without even saying goodbye. I kept following her with my eyes as she cruised her way outside the waiting room toward the bus, then she disappeared and everything went blank for a second as if the time stopped and everyone else in the room was waiting to see what would be my reaction. It seemed that everyone expected me to run after her to stop her from leaving, but instead I threw myself down on the chair trying to recall what just happened. I looked around me and it sound like the entire room went in silence. My eyes caught the look that the old couple hit me with. I got the feeling of what they were saying. They probably were saying something like "what are you waiting for? How could you do that? You are a cold heart man" I t tried to ignore their look and tried to get me back to my normal life. Few seconds went by and then suddenly, the door of the station broke open and I saw Tammy storming through the door running back at me and then she threw herself in my arms... again. She burst in tears and begged: " I just can't leave you like that.... please let stay with you.... I need you in my life..."... I interrupted "Tammy...Tammy... hold on...you are moving too fast you don't know me well...we just met..." she cover her face in my chest saying "I don't care I feel I know you pretty well, and I want to be with you..." the announcement broke her speech claiming that was the last warning for the passengers and it would leave the station in a minute. I took a deep breath then I put my hands on her shoulders and looked deeply into her eyes and said softly" Tammy listen... you are not sure what you are feeling right now... you are asking me to make a rush decision right now that my effect your life and mine for the rest of our lives...and that can't be done in just one minute.... All you needed was someone to talk to and share your sorrow with... someone can be a good listener to make you feel comfortable to be with... I guess, I was the right man in the right place and right time for the job... and honestly all these emotional that you are feeling toward me will vanish fast as it came fast". I round my arm around her and started to calm her down and then we both started to move toward the door trying to help her back to get on the bus. Finally, I could convince her to get back on it after giving her a promise to stay in touch with her and then I asked her to keep me updated on her personal life and how she would handle all her problems and I offer her to contact me whenever she needed help.

She was the last to get on the bus which made the bus driver closed the bus door just after she got in it and started to drive right away. Tammy ran through to the back windows of the bus with a yellow smile on face with tears falling from her eyes. She stood right there she put both two of her hand palms against the windows as if she was telling me "I am giving up myself to the destiny again that is my life, I am leaving now and god knows if I will ever see you again".
From my end, I stood up waving goodbye to her while watching the bus going away farther and farther knowing that would be the last time that I would see her crying and beautiful face. That thought brought down a couple of a worm drops from my eyes down to my cheeks thinking to myself what the heck was that? What happened in the last few hours of my life? Sure I didn't have an answer for that, but what I was sure of that was something I would never forget in my entire life. And sure it was one heck of a story to tell about in the coming years. It felt something was magic flew by like a cold breeze in a hot summer.
As a result of the story, that was the last time I saw Tammy and never heard from her since then.....
