Scary Bus Ride

I had heard about a KFC outlet that had opened at Fc road . I was all too excited to go there with my best friend .. We had the most sumptuous meal ever.. Since it was my first ever visit to kfc.. I had decided to take parcel for my brother…On our way back home my friend dropped me at the bus stop and left .. After waiting for about an hour at the bus stop .. I had given up hope.. Since the bus frequency to my home route was very slim…. I decided I will get into any company bus which will take me to vishrantwadi… I didn’t know what lay ahead… I was about to commit the worst mistake of my life… I saw a company bus approaching towards the bus stop.. There was only one way in and out like any other company or private bus would have.. The driver was shouting at the top of his voice about the place where he was going… I heaved a sigh of relief after seeing him.. I boarded the bus. As I entered the bus I saw that the whole bus was empty . Along with me more two ladies and a septuagenarian had boarded the bus.. As the driver resumed driving .. The lights went out. I was seated behind the driver’s seat .. One by one all other passengers got down. And I was the only one left behind .. The whole atmosphere inside the bus spooked me out… Behind my seat I could feel a lady’s presence. As if she was whispering something… I tried to ignore but then it grew louder and louder. I panicked.. I wanted to run for my life. What happened next scared the daylights out of me . I felt someone had kicked my seat.. I didn’t have the audacity to look behind…There was something awkwardly wrong about that night. The road which usually stays crowded during the peak time around 8.30pm was devoid of any activity.. There was no hustle or Bustle…There were no streetlights not even those annoying flickering ones. I just sat there rooted to the spot .. I must be only a km away from my house. All of a sudden I felt as if someone had touched me from the right side corner of my seat… That was the last straw I decided to get up and stand on the footboard of the bus… When the bus was about to stop .. I fished out money from my bag and gave it to the driver… I was sweating profoundly … I didn’t have the gumption to look back and find answers because i was sure of one thing that when i had entered the bus along with my fellow passengers it was empty … Then who was the one whispering … Who was the one who touched me. And who was the one who kicked my seat… All these things couldn’t be my just my imagination… And to my horror there were no lights in my area as well.. A million thoughts started racking my brain.. So as to why this thing happened with me.. Is it because i was carrying chicken along with me.. But I was sure of one thing that I had felt a presence …All this time the driver was completely oblivious of what had happened wid me.. I went home and narrated all this to my mother.. She chided me for carrying chicken with me at night. And I promised her that I have learned my lesson and I will never repeat this horrendous mistake again.. Because I had learnt it the hard way…
