A TREMBLING HEART...


On an evening of 14Dec2018,
A happy soul after meeting a Dear friend
after months,
Boarded a bus to her destination.
But out of so much excitement and happiness,
She missed her stop,
And reached 3 km away from her desired location!
Got down as soon as she realised that she has come quiet far.
Hopped off the railing in order to reach the opposite lane,
Which connects to her place.
After walking around 300 metres,
When the bus stop couldn't be located
She decided to walk in the direction of her pg
Rather than walking in the opposite direction.
The needles of the clock struck 11 p. m
And she decided to walk back to her location.
With so much hope and cheerfulness in her heart,
She was taking those jovial steps to her Pg,
Excited to walk back on the path alone, Absorbing the surroundings better
was the exciting part!
And being the only girl 'walking on the deserted road',
With heavy-duty vehicles passing by,
With a few men on the road,
It was shit scary!
Yes, she was the girl of her dreams and aspirations
Who love to wander alone,
Wander in the most unexpected areas and situations one can think of,
Was scared of those slow moving vehicles
Just next to her...
They were moving slowly because they were moving in the wrong direction.
Hence, all of them seemed coming towards her.
As the vehicle approached  closer,
Her heart used to beat faster.
When the footsteps of two 'not so well dressed people',
Who seemed like drunkards,
Seemed to approach
Her heart started beating even faster.
All of a sudden all the comfort and enjoyment,
Her high spirit,
Turned into a scary feeling...
She started praying and thinking
That why her destination is so far?
200 metres seemed like never-ending miles!
When she passed through an auto-rickshaw.
Where the gambling of cards was on the full swing,
The eyes staring at her
Or might be those eyes were just looking at the passers-by
But that glance moved a lot of things inside her.
She travels thousands of km alone
But sometimes.. Just sometimes...
In the wee time,
Walking alone
Her feet dangle
Her heart trembles
And she feels stuck...
All perplexed
Pondering...
That is she really a girl of her dreams who dreams to wander and be in any place at any point of time happily and being carefree?
