I was on my way to uni in a 255. I was alone and a bit sleepy, because of the time. It was nearly sweating mid noon. My mind was running everywhere desperately to find something of interest to keep my sleepy eyes open.
It was a bad day..., i was slightly cursing. My phone was out of order, well i couldn't pay the bill on time. But they didn't warn me of terminating my service either. I was expecting him to ring me, but how would he know my thoughts.....? Obviously he wouldn't know, he might be busy at office.
When i was lost in a pool of thoughts a little boy got in with his mom....oh primary schools are finished. He came and stood at my side, i was seated by the window. He was licking a big lollipop. His clothes were dirty with dust. His mom was trying her best to keep her self stable while holding her son from one hand and his big school bag on the other. Somewhere deep inside i felt my linger towards the lollipop. Oh....i'm thirsty too...i need it.....come on it's his-my mind stamped out. So I looked away. I didn't ask for his bag.
Two holts passed. I noticed the bus getting crowded. I looked up. There was a cute little school girl with her mom standing next to the boy. She looked sweet and had signs of well brought up. i took her school bag which was heavy even for her mom and kept it on my lap. The girl smiled at me and i saw her gleaming bright eyes suddenly catches the lollipop. She stared at it for a long while. She innocently looked at the little boy and smiled. He didn't return her a smile, but instead he moved his body towards her and pushed her. She withdrew and moved ahead. The naughty little boy touched her hand and squeezed it hard without their moms noticing it. The girl got hurt and she took her hand off the grip and got the hold of her mother. Poor her...i frowned at him.
krrrrehhhkkk.....A big sudden brake!!! The boy was not holding and he was about to fall. His mother hardly caught him and balanced her self and the boy somehow. She was furious. "This stupid child is not holding properly 'coz of this lollipop and i was going to fall too"- she must have thought. She, at once grabbed the lollipop and threw it out of the window. I saw something splashing just in front of my face. Oh the yummy lollipop was gone. I sarcastically looked at the boy, he was about to cry. All his pride was gone. haha...but the girl patted him gently on the shoulder, smiled. I couldn't recognise sarcasm in it though. The boy gave her a little fainting smile and kept his head looking down. He was defeated at last.
Instead i was happy, he learnt a lesson.... oh!!! My phone was ringing...and it was him, my telepathy has worked. While talking to him i saw both, girl and the boy got off at the same holt. She gave me a beautiful sweet smile saying thank you before she got down. They were gone, and minutes later my call ended.
I was wrong.... it's there world and i'm an intruder. They were friends at last and my stupid mind wished bad for the boy for no reason. I liked the little girl though, even for no reason.
Bingo!!! The lollipop. I secretly loved the lollipop and i wanted it, i was thirsty. I didn't like the boy as he was licking it which made me wanting it. I liked the girl, as she was same as me. We both had one thing in common, we didn't have a lollipop but we wanted it.
No!!! especially i wanted it. I got down at the Uni. Yet, I don't like lollipop though....
a young mind...curious, passionate; endlessly and deeply in thought.
