THIRTEEN packed carrier bags splayed out on the sidewalk. Bus stopped
a few fete away. The bag lady, Keira, dashed on with a bag in either
hand. Pointing in the driver's face and occasionally, at the remaining
bags, she argued with him forcefully. The driver responded with wild,
vehement, emphatic hand gestures. If she was trying to compel him to
move the bus closer to her bags; she failed. She started collecting the
others; in twos.
As
the sole male passenger present, Celtics, was tempted to help her but
something kept him back. His guilt mounted, yet he stayed put.
FINALLY,
A GOOD SAMARITAN TO THE RESCUE.
GOOD
SAMARITAN, Shiloh:(to bag lady)
May I help you
KEIRA:(snaps
sharply)
NO!
It
was at that precise moment that it suddenly dawned on Celtics that he
had seen this woman in action before. Luckily, this time, he was a mere
spectator.
Celtics
chuckled as the Shiloh exchanged bewildered and amused looks with
others milling about. The atmosphere inside the bus looked quite tense.
Passengers were already inflamed that the bus was taking such a long
time to drive off. Keira noticed the baggage rack was empty. However,
she passed it and rudely drove passengers out of their seats.
Four
passengers refused to vacate their seats. This attracted applause from
outside. When the woman finally sat down, her legs were wide open; to
accommodate the rest of the bags between them.
Celtics
was tempted to put his Facebook camera to use, by jumping on the bus
for what promised to be a blockbuster joyride.
