The
night was filled with fear, the unknown causing the heart to skip a beat.
The
lightening blinds her, thunder makes her shudder.
Would
she get someone or have to be alone?
She
walks down the road, finding no one,
slowly walks towards the traffic signal, knowing that her luck increases at these
junctions.
Anxiously
staring into the distance, signaling with her hands and eyes, no one stops!
Some
slow down, only to speed away when she vehemently turns down their proposals.
Some
pitying glances over her now drenched body. She looks unwelcoming, needy and pitiful.
Finally
he stops, words are exchanged, no negotiations this time, the desperation
shines through.
She
gets in.
The
ride is short, she holds on tight, feeling every bump on the road, praying he
would not stop.
She
just wanted to get it over with!
The
lashing rain and the thunder and lightning and the flashing lights around her,
loud honking, were comforting, knowing she was not alone!
At
one point, she felt herself sinking, the tears come rushing, all she had were
prayers.
The
50 minutes seemed forever.
The
morning was calm.
His
smile shone bright like he had nothing to do with her night time fear.
She
stepped out and realized everything was as it should be-
Clean,
fresh, clear, innocent!
Night
time and the drama starts again!
