I
remembered a situation which I was put into because of my pops(dad)….
I felt
very sorry for 2 guys who suffered because of me literally…
It
started this way…..
It’s a
cool morning…I was leaving back to my college I Chennai that day after
finishing my semester holidays….
My pops
came along with me to drop me off as it’s my 2nd year of my
engineering…(cause he thinks I can’t travel alone and innocent….which I’m
actually not :P)
That
day we started from home in Guntur (AP) to Chennai (TN)….As we don’t get the
direct train on that particular day we are supposed to travel to a nearby place
Tenali and have to board the train….
We
reached Tenali Junction railway station by 5.30 am….and were waiting for the
train to come….and the wildest part is that we don’t have any reservation and
have to board into local compartment or have to bribe TC for seats in
reservation compartment….Somehow we managed to enter into the train which is
over crowded…and headed towards the reservation compartment….
My fate
is so bad that we could hardly find a seat in reservation compartment….
We
found 2 seats empty in that compartment and my pops assured me that he would
manage if at all anyone come for the same seats…
There
comes the problem now (actually its different in a different way…will explain
later)…2guys came asking that those seats were allotted to them by the TC…
Poor
guys…my pops talked to them saying that TC allotted those seats for us….but
they requested that they got to miss the earlier train….and they somehow
managed TC and got the seats….Actually the truth is my pops never had talked to
the TC….
And the
TC already passed the compartment….
See
the conversation was this way between my pops and one of the guy from them…..
Pop:
See kids, the TC gave me these seats ma…Even “ladies” are here…How can you
think that we would vacate the seats….?More over how can you ask a girl to
vacate the seat?(pointing me)
Guy-1:No
uncle, why can’t you get the point…? We got to miss the train and we requested
the TC and got these two seats..
Pls
uncle do vacate these seats…we were too tired…regarding this issue…
Pop:
Till where you are travelling babu(local way of addressing a young guy by
elders)? Are you travelling till Chennai? Where do you study?
Guy-2:
We got to travel till Chennai uncle…and we are studying in SRM University in
Chennai….
Pop:
Oh I see…You better ask that TC again…
Guy-1
and Guy-2 bit their ears for a while cursing my pops and gave a weird look at
me and Guy-2 left for finding that TC…in the mean while my pop settled next to
me and had a nice breakfast that he bought in the station and fell asleep….
That’s
it…
I got
to say you something…my pops generally if fall asleep it’s hard for anyone to
wake him up….note this point…
Then
he (Guy-2) came with a dis appointed look on his face…All this while I was
observing the Guy 1 and quietly read the irking feeling on his face caused by
my pops…huh…poor he…
I
continuously stared those two guys who continued to stand there all along the
journey…
Guy 1
is cursing Guy 2 for letting my pops take away their seats…
I
don’t know how badly they misunderstood me….
He he
he he he he…they might have thought that I was trying to impress them…Too
weird…
Inspite
of this feeling that they would misunderstand me I was continuously staring
them coz I can at least apologize them for my pops insane behavior…..
Guy 2
observed me continuously staring them and murmured it to Guy 1…
You
know what this Guy 1 was never bothered and spewed me off…
I
really tried hard to say sorry to the them but it remained in vain…
All
the journey of 6 hours my pops happily slept with no interruptions and those
poor guys continued to stand, me staring them (mainly Guy 1 ;) coz he looks
more smart and handsome than the other and also wiped me off with his ignorance…that’s
what fascinated me more :P) all along the journey…huh…:/….
Even
after reaching my college I tried to reach them through my vast friend’s
circle….But…phew…L…no
use….coz I barely know their names or other details like dept., year…etc.,
except that they boarded the train from Vijayawada and they study in SRM,
Chennai…..
It end
that way….if at all possible…I would really ask for apologies from them instead
of my pops…
And
also make them clear from their misunderstandings about me staring them…if at
all they had any…befor I “MISS”ed them…..huh….
“”Hey…!GUYs
1 & 2, if at all you come to see this post…I ‘m really very sorry about
that day…and about my dad…. L””
“After
all we humans are here to make mistakes
and then to resolve them by saying SORRY… ;)”
