A Strange Stranger...

It was a low sunny morning; I was on my way to my exam. The location of the examination was a new place in chennai and I’m already not a queen of travelling places even in my own city. Hence I know this wouldn’t be a piece of cake for me but I was sure God is going to be with me to guide my journey. I inquired about the bus number and the stops and made my move. I went to the bus stop thinking I would make a lone journey but when I reached there in about a few minutes a girl approached me and stood near me. There were many people moving but I noticed her arrival, I don’t know why and in a glimpse I noticed her. Later I was waiting for my bus and she came near me and asked the same bus number for which I’m waiting for. I asked with a smile, ”I’m waiting for the same, it didn’t approached yet, and you for the exam?” She said yes with a smile.

And that’s it she asked me about my place and other stuffs and I inquired about her and thus we shared. She on the way gave me some tips and papers for my preparation and I was happy to see that kind of good and warm-hearted soul. More than everything else, I was happy to meet her in my life, a good, warm-hearted soul and a strange stranger...

Her name is Bhavani; we neared the place and mutually went to pick up the next bus and went inside the college to write examination. In my class an invigilator is assigned and she was a bit impatient and asked all of us to place bags and mobiles out and latecomers are not allowed. Later one coordinator of the exam who was conducting it came there. She was a young lady and dressed in chudidhar holding a bag came inside and the invigilator who noticed her told her in strong voice, “I said bags and mobiles outside”. She couldn’t get the situation and later with a smile said, “I’m the coordinator”. And we all looked at her reaction that was a sheepish smile. And after finishing the exam, while coming out, we waited for each other. The bus got crowded and I thought we wouldn’t get any place even to stand and so told her we would catch the next one so that we could be seated. She said no I’ll catch this one for you and me and she went and hold on two places for each other. I was shocked and surprised to see her deeds for a stranger. I went in and saw her holding one place for me and herself seated on the next row, while I was ahead one girl pushed me and took the place and Bhavani saw me and asked me to take her place but I said no I would stand beside you, I’m completely ok with that and suddenly a seat near me got emptied and awaited my response as though it emptied for me and I took that place. We were landed in a stop from where we took a private bus to our destination and she was on her way to class and said I would get down few stops before you. We both took seats near and were talking all stuffs in and outside us and we shared our mobile numbers.

While her stop was approaching near, she said, “I’m getting down here and you go to your stop safe and make it to your home”. I was moved in heart to receive such a care from a stranger I met few hours ago. “What a wonderful soul she is!” I thought. Surely an Angel... God had sent me to take care of me. I tilted my head as a sign of ok with a composed smile. I said, “Take care, best wishes for your future” and waved her a bye. On my rest of the time I was travelling to my stop, I was thinking of her, the good nature of her... On the way many got in the bus and many got down but I haven’t noticed anyone, not even who was sitting near me, I was busy dipping at the beauty of her heart... Suddenly a woman who was seated near me called me and asked where I was going, and I said tambaram and looked around to notice whether I reached there. I suddenly woke up to consciousness and asked her whether I’ve crossed it. She would have been looking at the tension in my face it seems, she smiled and said no but its about to come. I smiled and said to myself another Angel, God sent me to get down at the right place, as He knew I don’t know places and a daydreamer too and smiled at her. She smiled at me too.

While getting down, I took my bag and said her I’m leaving with a smile, she smiled at me and I got down the bus. Inspite of my examination and the merciless questions, these are the wonderful unforgettable experiences I had and could ever have...
