PART-2
(Continued from part1)
"One passenger missing !!!"
The conductor asked the driver to stop the bus.All passengers started murmuring inside the bus where is the girl?where did she go?.Raghu reached near the conductor's seat.The conductor was tensed to hear about the missing,because they were already late for the trip and if thex weren't able to report on time in the depot damn...their bus owner will scold them for being late(owner was a very rude man)
Raghu,"Bhai, can't we wait for 10 mts?".The conductor give a weird look and said," Sirji,we are already late for our trip,maalik(bus owner) will scold us if we didn't reach on time.But i'm the in-charge of the bus and the passenger's too.Okay ! We will wait for her"
All startd waiting for her.Raghu and the conductor were outside the bus.10 mts passed.Antara didn't came.
On the other hand,Antara lost her way back to the dhaba.Unknowingly she went far away from the place to get netwrk on her mobile.:-(she have to inform her mom that she'l reach lucknow by noon.Her mother was a very strict women.Antara was very much tensed and feared now."OMG ! I lost my way and hw will i get back to the bus?.when will i reach home?mayi will kill me if didn't reach home before the guest arrives.Though Antara was tensed she didn't give up.She knw her Bappa(lord ganesha) will help her out of any situation and started to walk forward keeping her faith alive.
All passengers startd to murmur again.One of the passenger stood up from the seat and asked," Conductorji lets go.She didn't came na. Kab tak wait karenge?.we are getting late.we will leave her luggage in that dhaba and inform them if she returns here give her luggage and when the nxt bus arrives".
Raghu give him an angry glare(he got angry by that comment)."Damn you, we all are passengers of this bus.if one of us is in danger we must help.We all are getting late.Wt will you do if that girl was ur sister or family member?Will you leave her alone in an unknown place like this?."The man said sorry and took his seat.All the passengers supportd Raghu.He told the conductor that he was going to search the girl and will be back soon.
Raghu didn't knw why he cared for an unknown girl.Bt her face was flashing on his mind continuously;-)
Raghu was'nt entirely sure wts gng on,bt he calmed his mind saying"Dude dnt think too much,she was jst a co-passenger na..find madamji and get back to bus.You've to reach home on time.Aaji will be waiting"He startd to walk shouting loudly,"Oye Madamji..."
Luckily Antara took the rgt path and she was nt that much far away frm the way Raghu was coming.Antara was talking to Bappa while walking through the way as she was the only person in that lonely place."Bappa plz help me get there soon unless i'l be in great trouble".Now she could hear someone's voice at a distance.
"Oye madamji,where are you?,hello"
Antara walked fast towards that direction. Nw she can hear the sound clearer.She thanked Bappa and recognised Raghu's voice.Finally both of them met." Hello Mr.y r u calling me madamji.my name is Antara".Raghu was surprised to hear the reply and he saw her cmng towards him."Oh there you are.Thank god .ok madamji,sorry Antara shall we go back to the bus.All of us were waiting for you frm half an hr.where did you go?.By the way i'm Mr.Raghunath Naik got it?Raghu said these teasing Antara.They began to walk fast towards the place where the bus was waiting.All of them were happy to see her back and she was fine too.Raghu and Antara boarded the bus and she apologized to all for the inconvenience they had due to her.
The bus started its journey to lucknow again.While the journey Raghu and Antara came to knw abt each other.RAGHU was a young businessman gng to his aaji's house.His car had some trouble on the way.how he had to take the bus frm mid way.Antara was cmng from her uncle's house and gng to her home in lucknow.Both talkd a lot on the journey.They reached Lucknow 1 hr late frm the time of arrival.All of them got down with their luggages and left.Raghu and Antara too got down with their luggages and Antara was feeling an unknwn sadness to bid a gud bye.Raghu told her with a smile "Oye madamji ,nxt time be careful on your journey and it was nice to meet you.Phir milenge" .Antara just smiled and both left and startd for their destination.
Wil they meet again?Wt the destiny planned for them.
To be continued.. :-)
