27H
The bell rang and I came out of my class which was in the main building and rushed to the Bus stop so that I can catch the iconic 27H Bus from Marina to Avadi via College Road at 1:25 PM. When I came near to the bus stop I realized a less crowded bus crossing my sight, I ran to see the board number so that I can catch up to the Bus if its 27H. As I bowed down to look at the Bus number, I realized its 27H and before realizing my legs are already in the run, to catch the same. This is not a heroic story so yeah before I catch up to the bus, it left. The Automatic doors sucks, if its an open door bus I could have made some heroic jump and could have catch the Bus.
So, why this rush? Why I cant get the next bus. The reason is College Road, a particular popular area of the city especially for college guys. There are nearly half a dozen of Women’s college in that area. And I don’t want to caught up with the crowd, since it’s the only bus route covers all the suburbs of the city like Ambattur and Avadi, and I am from Avadi.
As I missed the bus now I have to wait for the next Jam packed bus, after 20 long minutes sitting in the bus stop watching all other buses from 47A , 7M, crossing me. In a distant, I finally got to see the number 27 and I was not sure about the prefix, thank fully it was H and not L. It was jam packed as I anticipated. I managed to get over first two steps in the door and gradually able to slide my bag to a girl who was sitting, this is how we make space for those who stands and be comfortable or a way to start a conversation with the one you love as suggested by my senior. But I swear I gave the bag because I needed some space to stand comfortably.
It’s really hard to find a space to stand comfortably in the bus since its packed with college girls and I always had the fear that I don’t want to harass any one accidentally, by stamping anyone’s leg or fall on anyone out of sudden break and getting a slapped in the face. That’s one of my rational fear though out my college life. After a few stops, few got out of the bus and finally I found a spot to stand. I usually prefer the particular area there will be poles aside the seats, because I don’t want to hold any bars, I can just lean at the pole and use my phones and hear some real good music or might be Ellen show to cheer me up. And I used to sight at girls which goes without saying. Even though the bus is filled with good looking people, I began to like a certain type of people. And this is the time I found that I had a type based on the looks.
My type is I mostly attracted to chubby ones and girls wear specs. I feel this quite weird because I am a fatso and I was wears specs. Having said that I was leaning on the pole comfortably and was watching some random video in the You tube and suddenly I lost the track of the stop and when I bend down to see which place was it through the window and it was Ambattur OT already. This is the moment when my eyes fell on her chubby cheeks. Its almost more than half an hour and I am so into the mobile I didn’t even realize such a beauty standing before me. I yet to see her face but from the back, I am damn sure that she is pretty. She was wearing a red frock covered with designs and a plain black top. She was chubby and curvy, I adore it in a nonsexual way. And this sudden immense pressure in me gained momentum to see her face and her eyes, from back I realized she is not wearing any specs. She had her earphones on and listening to music. In an anticipation to know about her more I started to search for any clues or stuffs that can help me to know more about her, The person whom I met few minutes ago and the one I haven’t seen the face.
Now the clock is ticking there are only two more stops for the last one. If she gets down the bus and I am not able to seeing her face would be make this beautiful day terribly dark. So I thought to find at least which college is she studying in, started to look for her ID card. Unfortunately I cant find anything in her neck other than a silver chain that dazzled in against her pale skin. Finally the stop came and I happened to see her face. She was beautiful, she smiled at her friend who is sitting in the seat and passing on her bag. She was wearing a dental Braces, which made her smile more beautiful to me. She was having Bindi a small round kind which was perfect for her forehead. And the most important part her eyes, it was not brown, it was dark black as I was watching her dark black eyes, I literally felt like I was slipping into dark deep ocean. But I didn’t leap beyond the certain depth, the person who had my bad showed the sign that she is leaving the bag in the seat and getting down the bus. I grabbed my bag real quick, mean while she got out of the bus and I rushed to see where she was heading. I saw her getting on a bus to Pattabiram. I felt a moment of heart break but was happy for the beautiful day as I saw her. I didn’t know her name or anything about her, but this sudden rush of feeling made me to think about her a lot. I started to look for her in the bus whenever I took the Bus to college and returning from it for the next few days with no luck. Finally one day…
Lets continue the same in the next episode of 27H.
