WashijaAnxious
Arora drove his taxi around and parked in front of the station. He didn’t feel like leaving her behind to meet this “friend”. Plus she was standing alone, yet to go inside the station. Apparently, whoever is coming to meet her, is not here yet. The girl kept pacing back and forth.
No Ticket
The girl didn’t go to the counter to buy any tickets. If she is on her way to meet someone, then why is she not buying a ticket yet? Perhaps she is waiting for her friend who already has the tickets? Arora started brainstorming ideas to get her out of here without making her uncomfortable.
The Phone Call
He decided to call his wife and tell her about the predicament he is in. He explained the whole situation to her, starting from the moment he picked up this girl to everything she told him, without taking his eyes off from the girl. His wife was equally concerned which was a relief. He was afraid he will sound like a nosey weirdo who is interested in other people’s business.
One More Try
Arora decided to try once again and find out what is happening with the girl. But this time instead of talking to her himself, he is going to make his wife talk to her. Maybe her motherly instincts will help her find out what to say to get her to trust and confide in her.
Convincing Her
Arora rolled down his window and waved his hand in the air trying to catch her attention. The girl ignored him at first, but after repeated attempts, she came over to his car. He told her to speak to his wife on call, “she wants to talk to you about something”. The girl refused blankly and was ready to walk away.
Insisting Again
Arora asked her to not speak if she feels uncomfortable but he requested that she listens to what his wife has to say, just once. The lost soul might have felt some sort of comfort in those words because she agreed to speak to his wife. Arora handed her the phone, “Hello?” she spoke.
