BLURB

When Nidhi insisted that it was safer to journey by bus, Wilson was so blinded by the prospect of spending high quality time together with her that he had agreed to it instantly. He regretted not pondering issues by means of as a result of bumping towards males at the back of a bus was not precisely the type of intimacy he was searching for.

The idea of private house had gone out of the window lengthy earlier than he observed his numbness to the odour of fellow passengers. Soon sufficient, the bus taught him one other life lesson—simply because the bar is about low doesn’t imply you possibly can’t go decrease. The driver braked onerous to make the contraption halt at a bus cease. Due to the onerous braking, the passenger standing behind Wilson slammed into him, which in flip precipitated Wilson to be slammed towards the man standing in entrance of him thus making him the meat in an unsavoury human sandwich.

“The things we do for love,” Wilson thought as he wiggled out of the human sandwich solely to be jostled by the exiting passengers. He winced in ache when he obtained elbowed on the ribs by an exiting passenger.

“And the hits just keep on coming,” he thought as he rubbed his chest. At this disheartening juncture within the journey got here an surprising ray of sunshine. Some passengers had cleared off within the women’ part and he noticed Nidhi standing there. When their eyes met, Wilson now not felt any ache. He smiled at her, however she didn’t reciprocate. Instead, she turned her face away from him. The bus lurched ahead and Wilson was glad to see that the group had thinned out.

“At least some good came out of that halt,” Wilson thought as he took out his cellphone from his pocket. It was solely then that he noticed the indignant texts she had despatched him earlier within the morning. Once his eyes had been achieved making saccadic actions going by means of these texts, they zeroed in on Nidhi, who turned the purpose of his visible fixation though she had her again turned to him. Wilson was not the lecherous kind, so he was not checking her out from behind. He was busy enjoying a little bit guessing sport in his thoughts. Judging by her posture, he tried to guess what could be the look on her face. Wilson figured that since Nidhi was a seasoned bus commuter, she wouldn’t be feeling like a fish out of water. Still, he felt dangerous that she needed to journey in a crowded and crummy bus as a result of she waited for him. He felt dangerous that she was standing and never sitting. Their journey would have been a lot smoother if he had proven up on time.

“You’re such a jerk for testing her patience on the day she’s having an exam!” Wilson chided himself,“You’re supposed to be her support system, not drag her down! You really ought to break this habit of letting people down. The day isn’t over yet so you better make it up to her while you still have the chance. She should look back on this day with fond memories.”

The bus screeched to a halt at one other cease, and he was yanked out of his ideas when his physique flung ahead. As he stumbled, he caught a glimpse of the signboard that displayed the situation of the bus cease. He regained his toes and as he anticipated the group of standing passengers dwindled. He turned his gaze to Nidhi and observed three issues. Firstly, he noticed that she had obtained a seat by the window on the left-hand aspect of the bus. The seats on the left-hand aspect of the bus had been designed to accommodate two passengers whereas the seats on the right-hand aspect may accommodate three passengers. Secondly, he noticed a possibility—the seat Nidhi had taken was not solely on the left-hand aspect of the bus but additionally occurred to be within the final row of the women’ part. The seat beside her was not vacant, however even when it was he couldn’t sit beside her because it was strictly meant for girls. However, not even the ethical police may cease him from sitting on the seat proper behind her if it occurred to be vacant. And at that individual second, there was room for one passenger within the seat behind her. Thirdly, he noticed an imminent risk to the golden alternative that had introduced itself earlier than him—an aged passenger sitting within the aisle seat behind Nidhi was closing in on the territory that Wilson had visually marked for himself.
