Green Bus-1

Part 1

Some lives don't want success, fame, glory, money, peace or any other things we crave, they just need to see a closure to their story. They just want to see the end to their lives which was cursed on them by God. If you hear their story even god seems to be evil and treacherous.

This is one of those stories.

It's was around a year ago. I was doing my job as Senior Engineer in a Construction Company. For a road project I had to go to a concrete plant as early as 3 in the morning that too it was winter season. I even had to ride bike for around 20km (towards the outskirts of the city) every day before the batches were dispatched. That was when I saw him for the first time.

He was around 35 to 40 in age , he was covered in dirt, his clothes were ragged, his eyes had dark circles with no life in them, his hair grown long with a brown tint, he had Scarcely grown beard and he had a stick in hand may be to ward off dogs. He was sleeping at the nearby bus stand next to plant. I saw him like 2 to 3 times there and I even ignored him just because I didn't have time to spare and he seemed a little retarded. Previously I had a bad experience with a similar person so I kept my distance. Then I didn't see him for a week or so.

After a week that evening I finished my work and I was about to leave but had lost my keys to the bike. It was around 6PM and one of the junior at the plant dropped me to the nearest bus stop where his home was located.

I was waiting for the bus and I saw him again. He was running in a slow pace towards the city and he was talking to himself while running. He seemed tired yet he kept his slow pace and was unaffected by the traffic or people. I got a call from the office saying one of the company's car was coming on the same way so I called the driver and told him my location and asked him to pic me up. The vehicle arrived and we started to go to the city. I was sitting in the front passenger seat and I noticed him running ahead. I asked the driver to go slower while we approached him. I slid the windows down to get a better hearing of what he was murmuring.

He repeating " Green Bus... Green Bus...Green Bus" continuously and kept running. He didn't even look at us while we were riding by his side. A while later we decided to head to city (office) as it was already late for my briefing at the office. After that day I never saw him again.

But then after 3 months.........
