I stood at the bus stop waiting for this young lady to stop a taxi so I will use the opportunity to join also, lucky enough as If she was in my thoughts ,then she stopped the approaching taxi, before Nyanya bridge she said.

so I hurried and join her,we began to journey I was scared and praying as well,my heart kept beating and thoughts running through my head,what if she decides to extend her journey. Thank God (Alhamdulilah) this young lady reminds the taxi man her bus stop , I dropped after her and paid same amount she gave him. trekked down as I was a bit far from my bus stop. This keke approaching stopped by me and asked.....
