i stepped inside the auto from one side,and she from the other
she jus stepped back down when i settled inside..and right before that her eyes met mine..
those beautiful eyes jus saddened instantly..it was one of those old faces that still showed childlike emotions.the disappointment was so obvious in her eyes..
she was one old woman,definitely not v well off.
i guessed that the auto guy had volunteered to drop her at her place free of cost n that's when i entered..she stepped back without a word. coz it was obvious that he'd prefer me over her,coz i'd pay..
i volunteered to drop her where she had to go...she stepped inside again..then the auto guy said that place was 6 kms away...so she stepped out again..
she left without a word..but that childlike innocence at her age,was somethin that stayed with me,how easily she had shown that disappointment and smiled as if it was her fate..i did feel bad,for a second or two ,before i went on to do what i had to
