The Hope

It was a dark night, people were waiting for their buses to arrive. It turned out to be a long wait untill they heard a voice shouting from one corner 'Buses are haulted at the Depot, bus drivers have announced a sudden strike against the government'.

Disappointment starts to spread across, people start to look out for an alternative option. .

Complains from a old man at one corner - 'I don't know what's wrong with these drivers, they just announced a strike last week. Why can't they give us a prior information ? Who is suffering now?'

Confusions on the other corner from young lads - 'Hey how do we get to our place now ? Okay you go and look for autos, let me try to book OLA or Uber from here.

Ladies in their mid age were bargaining with the share auto driver at one end. .

Everybody start to look out for an alternative options and disappear from the scene. . A little boy observing all these, scratches his mom's arm and asks with lot of excitement - 'Mom, how are we going now ? Auto or Car?'

Mom holds on to the only 10 rupee coin that she had with her and smiles to her kid :)

'Auto's and Car's are going to be congested dear, your mom is going to take you in a more spacious vechicle.  All the bus drivers are having their dinner and will be here soon to pick you up my son' she said.

That was not a hope given to her kid, that was a hope given to herself. .

A beam of light hit the advertisement board at the bus stop. 'Mommy, there comes a bussss. . . '

'Seems that the driver had a quick dinner for you my dear' she smiled !
