u should wait a little longer...

I was waiting at the bus stop, after a double shift...the sun was scorching...blazing above my head.I had just finished a very hectic shift and was feeling extremely sleepy added to that,the heat and the humidity was making me sick, i wanted to reach home desparately...but, i hate to travel in crowded bus after night shifts...my face looks so puffy...blood-shot eyes, unmanaged hair, i look like a drug-addict...i always wondered why they don't have buses with big windows, with only a few poeple travelling, no one staring at me....guessing whether i cried my eyeballs out or had i puffed too much of ganja... anyways,the bus of my dreams never appear and i have to travel in a crowded bus...but, today i had decided, i will not ride on a crowded bus....20minutes had passed, people came and took their respective buses but i was still waiting for my 'dream bus'... almost half an hour had passed when i felt a lurch in my stomach...the heat...suddenly i was feeling very sick...it was so stupid of me to indulge in such game, may be i should take a taxi...i started walking towrds the taxi stand, when i heard," wait! may be u should wait a little longer.." being very imagintive from childhood, i had built a fantasy world for myself...acting out parts that i wanted to happen...my inner voice being my best friend...but this time i hated it...at the same time i had stopped walking...looking again at the end of the road....ignoring the heat...suddenly i saw a red something....a bus...big and wide....with big glass windows, wide seats, low music playing with almost no one insside....my dream bus was here...finally!!

after that, whenever i feel like giving up, i remember the voice..."may be u should wait a little longer". and i get a refreshing strength...
