Headache For Hyderabad

It was a normal Thursday. My friend's parent was supposed to come to pick us up from school.

But, she was having a long chat with her younger child's class teacher.

My friends could wait. But me, I was scared.

I informed my friends that I had a train to catch and that I can't wait for long.

So, with much hesitation, we rushed to their class. We informed the parent and she came immediately.

So, she picked her child (and my other friend's younger sibling) from the "Activity Room".

Nope, the younger ones weren't making it easier either.

JUST on the way to the car, they stopped twice or thrice just do drink water.

My friends made it more late by taking forever (2 mins, but every minute counts as you'll find out) to pick a song.

Best part. We HAD to pass through a construction site on the way. : - /

When I finally reached home, somebody was still packing their clothes. : - /

Well, at school I thought I was overreacting even though we had tons of time in hand but it just evaporated like vapour...

We booked a ride and later, guess who arrived conveniently punctually! (not)

The driver was pretty annoying and refused to go more than a certain speed.

Well.. Isn't it the driver's job to keep track of the route? Cuz we were the ones guiding him on where to go.

I mean, isn't it easy? The railway station isn't a place unheard of by many

Even though we were kind enough to spoon feed him the route, he still took the long route. (I've heard that some drivers take you through longer routes to add distance to the meter and get more 💵💵. So next time this happens, be alert)

We didn't have time! The train would leave in 20 minutes!

We didn't have time! The train would leave in 15 minutes!

We didn't have time! The train would leave in 10 minutes!

We didn't have time! The train would leave in 05 minutes!

We didn't have time! The train would leave in 03 minutes!

We were so sure that we were gonna miss the train and so we asked the driver to turn around and go back. (But he was disobedient which was good)

We reached the station. Ahh.. No time for GPay or anything.. Just take this 💵 and keep the change.

The driver happily left the place. How lucky. So much 💵 for such bad service..

We had to climb a squashy, overcrowded staircase (with luggage and a HEAVY box)

Then, when we reached the platform, we were hopeless. We didn't even expect to see a train there (but we did) And even if we did, we didn't expect to see it moving! (but we did)

Some very kind person (who you can call god in disguise) helped us by pulling the TO STOP TRAIN PULL CHAIN thingamajig.

And oh! We just threw that heavy box! No time to carry that!

We got into the unreserved compartment (which was not where we were supposed to end up)

Then another Mr Selfless helped us by handing us the heavy box.

Now everything was taken care of. All we had to do was get into the right seat!

Then, when the train stopped in the next station in our same city, we got down and boarded properly.

The End 😀
