Ek anjani si - 1 (The bus girl)

10th Aug, 2011

Time: 7.30 PM

I was in the bus.. Returning from my office... tired...u can imagine the condition of a private employee....

As usual like any other IT guy I started doing my favorite time pass (don’t think naughty, i was listening music)...music starts playing in the whole bus... it seemed that every body started singing...

Suddenly I looked besides me, A girl was sitting there..

Simple.. Natural.. ok ok type you know..

She was talking to someone..(Must be her boyfrnd)

God knows how can each girl has a boyfriend..

And here in my friend circle of 7 people, no one has a single girlfriend..(Not even a single to share among us..)

manjula... i heard manjula.. she was talking with a girl.. nt with her boyfrnd... wow .. don't know y but i felt better... i stopped my music player and started concentrating on the real music, conversation  of that girl..

(are!.. i will come to badlapur.. we can meet there.. any time u say.. hey have u seen that movie.. he looks handsome in that movie.. v can go  together..)

can somebody tell me  - do girls always talk rubbish?..

if someone else was there instead of that girl i might feel boring.. but there is something in her.. its not what she is talking.. its how she is talking.. her voice modulation..the way she uses her hand.. her facial expressions...

Its more than 10 minutes now,  but She is still on phone…

(but why u stay there at badlapur? its nt a nice place. instead of badlapur you can stay somewhere else.. u can hardly find any place in badlapur)

suddenly bus conductor asked - “madam!.. where you have to go?” and she replied- “badlapur!..” The conductor was shocked.. so as me.. badlapur .. mam dis bus does not go to badlapur..

Then she realized her mistake and was stammering- “no no no.. Sorry sorry not badlapur... i have to go to ‘Patli pada’..”

both the conductor and me started laughing..  

after that she again started chatting with her friend..

and I started thinking of all the possible way to start a conversation with her..

Finally, its only her who gave me the topic… actually she was talking with her friend only, but this time about some classes and lectures and all..  So I decided that as soon as she will finish her call, I will talk to her on this matter..

But god knows whether she has dis free recharge or what.. the bus reached her stop ‘Patlipada’ and she was still on phone.. she get down at her stop without giving me a chance to talk to her..  I have to get down at the next to next stop.. the bus starts running again.. leaving me no chance to talk to her.. and I feel  that my story ends here..

Suddenly a person jumps out of the bus… He falls on the road..  Must be a mad guy, I thought.. … wait a second,   y  my knee is paining?..  (shit it’s me who jumped out of the bus).. whats happening yaar. How can i?

But this time that girl noticed me.. don't know whether I was imagining things or what , but it seemed that she passed a smile..quickly I got up from the road and approached her..

“Hey if u don’t mind can I talk to u for a minute?”

“What?”

“No, it’s just that u were talking on phone about some lectures and all in the bus. And I need to ask u something related to that”

“Ok!”, she said and cut her call (ya!.. she was ‘still’ on call).

“Hey!.. we can walk and talk… u stay near by only?”

“Yeah!.. at a walking distance only.  Tel me what u wanna ask? First tell me!.. do u also have to go to dis side only? Or its just I m going to dis side, so u r also coming with me”

(is she flirting with me?)

“Ya!.. actually I live in “waghbill”, the next stop.. but its ok I can walk with u .. there after I will come back”

“ok!” she said and smiled..

I started chatting with her..

Sometimes u feel great while walking also (I mean only when u r with a girl :P )

There were some boys standing on the road side.  staring at us..(must be jealous of me.. poor guys.. they must not be having any gf)

I was talking about all the things but teaching job..

(Neways when u r with a girl then who is interested to talk about teaching and classes)

Suddenly she smiled and said – “ by the way u were supposed to ask about my coaching classes?”

“ahh.. ha. Yes I was”

“then ask”.

“So r u a full time faculty?”

“No, I work in a company name ‘Bluestar’ as a software engg. and on weekends I take classes. And u?”

“I work in TATA Motors and I m also interested to work as a part time faculty in some colleges on weekend” ( I lied, I was interested in nothing but talking with her..)

“r u really interested to know abt my lecturer job?”she smiled again

“do u hv doubt on me?”

“umm yes .ha ha .. by the way I lives here only”

“What? Have we reached.. so early yaar!..”

“yes, so early.. only 15 minutes walk” – she  said and winked.

“hmm”

“so…”

“so what”

“so its nice meeting you.. see ya bye “

“ok! bye”

And she walked away.. I was standing there itself..

Then I realized – I m a fool.. what I am doing.. and I run towards her..

“hey wait . wait . wait.. can I have your no?”

“y do u need my number?”

“so that in case of any query I can call u?”

“umm ok..” she smiled (lucky I am..)

After taking her number.. we said good bye once again..(Actually 3-4 times)

thats d beginning of my story.. lets see where it ends… I am thinking to cal her in night(it’s the best time to talk with a girl).
