An unknown girl
My eyes went towards the watch and it was 8 passed 20 of friday evening which I assume is the best evening to get back home after work, but still I was busy in working. I didn't even realise. This is what happens when you get the desired job or you love the job you do. I became quite workaholic than before.
But my home was far from the office. I have to travel about 20 KM's in the heavy traffic. These days traffic was on its best due to metro construction. They made roads like streets . Usually I go by bus, but that evening I booked the shared cab.
I was fortunate enough to find the cab within such a short time and was also happy with the pickup time which just showed 9 minutes which is so rare with me. Message in the app showed "Pickup starting within 9 mins". One of my colleague was pointing to the list of co-passenger in cab booking app and looking strangely towards me and trying to tease me . "Shruti huh ?" - He uttered.
I passed the fake smile and just ignored. I packed up my bag quickly and was waiting for the lift to come to my floor quickly.
I reached outside the office and was waiting for cab. 5 mins of waiting, a cab stopped next to me. I cross checked the vehicle number but that wasn't the cab I booked. After couple of more minutes finally my cab arrived to me. I went to the cab and I saw inside the backseat a girl was sitting , so I went to the seat beside the driver, but it was already occupied by a guy . so I came back to backseat and opened the door .
I saw the girl wearing black dress and black shorts and I couldn't see her properly because the lights of cab were off. she slide a bit only to give some space to sit.
She was sitting bit closer to me. The driver asked my OTP and I shared the OTP to him and he said looking to me
"₹130 deyo sir " (Give 130 sir) .
I gave him 150.
He asked , "Sir 30 ₹ change de dalo "
I checked my pockets and bag and I didn't find change of 30 rupees.
I said trying to speak in his accent , "Change nahi hai so , mere Kane "( I don't have change )
He was quite cool and politely he said ,
"Kya bhi nahi sir , google pay kar dalo "
I was...
