Despite of making our best efforts, we got late. I am not sure, why it happens always but it happens. We were late enough to speed our heart beats up even before stepping out of the home. More importantly none of us were ready to accept. I with VIP started around 8:30 from home with a silence. The silence of tension. No body wanted to look at each other. We just wanted not to miss the bus. We raced with our luggage to Marathahalli crossing, keeping our fingers crossed. If you are a good human being, and you have not done anything wrong with anyone and never cheated on someone, nothing bad will happen to you. This could be the only reason why we didn't see any bus for next 5 minutes, which felt like no less than an hour. Heart beats shooting up, tension increasing with every passing second, we decided to take some deep breaths. After 5 minutes we were sitting in a Volvo, having a sigh of relief. It was 8:50 and I called P to know his position. He replied that he will be there in next 10-20 minutes, so we were happy about his reaching the pickup point before time.
We got down at Richmond circle at 9.35 and knowing the fact that the pick up point is around a kilometer from there, we got a little relaxed and had some deep, long breaths. An Autowala looting us 40 bucks for a single km, we reached our pickup point in next 10 minutes. It was 9:45 and we were at our first destination with a victorious smile. As some corner of my heart knew that P reaching there before us is kinda impossible. I was right as after reaching there, we could not find P. We called him and found him searching us at the other end of this Big bus stop. Thankfully, after 5 minutes, we all were together, like a team, like an Army troop, with a big thumbs up smile at our faces.
This was the pickup point for buses leaving all around Bangalore. Every minute some 2-3 buses were coming and crowd was running to confirm they are not missing their loving ones. We had some 20 minutes remaining and we thought of confirming the bus running information and our co-passengers details. You know, it becomes very important for any journey "how your co-passengers are"? The presence of beautiful faces boost the probability of having a good and memorable journey and if everything goes good, it also leads to another possibility of some good times in future.
