That bus travelled to far east

That bus travelled to far east

A Story by Arundass TP

Some times errors are committed in one's life

Did I lost a Casserole! yesterday night? Some voice shouted at me that you kept that casserole in that bus that travelled to the west. Inside the casserole you missed a red rose, that you must have not misplaced in any way.

September 3rd 2023:
The red rose I misplaced is taken by somebody who opened that casserole. The dark night seems darkest when the sun was up!
The light inside the vehicle was dim as one has to open the eyelid to maximum to see what is not there in your surroundings. Few fellow passengers sitting randomly looks like shades some like silhouette’s. Some murmered. The bus splits the air towards its destiny. Only the rich can travel by bus now-a-days, others dreams.

4 September 2023: The voice made me call to the local bus station.
Sir, I travelled to the west in the night sitting inside your bus…but I lost my casserole so precious.
Friend, we have lot of buses to the west as to other direction! You have any evidence that you travelled in the night?
Yeh..The ticket given by the conductor.
Come to office? Can you?
Yeh…
Lot more to travel to reach to contact with the authorized officer. Mind overflowed with reddish rose I carried. It’s sure I can experience it’s fragrance. The voice I heard promised.
I am the person who was on the line last hour. I lost my casserole.
Give me the travel ticket.
Casserole seems to be traveling far east, as you might have gone far east bound bus.This is the wrong office. The lost item is there for you.
I didn’t travel to the east, only to west.
The ticket never lies! Sir.
Look the bus number?
The bus is travelling east!
Mobile vibrated. A call so important that stated you forgot to take your casserole from your kitchen table! Atlast.

East or west! Let the bus continue its journey.

This seems to be metaphorical, although I confess it is too cryptic for me. However I can relate totally to the feeling that you have misplaced something, then found that, in fact, you had it all along! Also, having travelled much by bus in Africa, I can see how the red tape would conspire against the character. From a technical POV, I would note that the two date formats are different. So, unless that's intentional, recommend changing them to match. Also, putting speech in "speech marks" makes it easier for the reader to locate conversation vs. story. Anyway, just quibbles. I liked it actually, thank you :)

Thank you friend 😊
A very nice writing skill with full description, I read only two of yours. This one and love, but don’t add some scary things make life easy cool and happy but instead of scary make it tough hard times, like in love you have ended it with death reincarnation, but you could have given atleast a chance to live with her someday in same life. Why you want to end it, as you make sad life leads to sad be hopeful to see happiness, a hay a day makes a day, finally a sleep in the night, but don’t give to that hay maker that just keep on going making hay without peace of relaxation. Hope you understand my hopeful of eyes never yellow never half blind never unlike , they are as like yours beholder like yours. But people see different colors, can’t keep their wishes in some other eyes.

I am very pleased to read your review. There are lots of possibilities and way to end a story. I mus.. read more
All that stress and trouble because of what?? A mistake. Lot's of food not only for thought but for laughter. Reminds me of the time I stuck my own pen in my afro hair and looked everywhere in exasperation for it until someone pulled it out of my hair. That's a sober thought for me because hey what if ww3 erupts because of a silly mistake?
This was a chaotic read for me at the initial stage but then, I enjoyed it.

Voices, shades, silhouettes, spirits, sounds like a haunting eperience. As we travel the bus journey of life, we all make mistakes.
