Do you think that getting down from a bus is an easy thing to do? It was not at all when I was going to school by bus. I went to a mixed school. So, the bus which we used to come back home was full of those crazy devils.
The bus conductor became evil by looking at the behaviors of those idiots. If he had high blood pressure, he would die because of the effort he put to control them. Always he screamed like an evil. But our guys did not care about him though he blamed and screamed us a lot. As well as his situation was fun for some of them.
After a few years, I saw that the conductor was working on the same bus root. But at that time, he was very matured and looked calm. He had patience with others and, he did not scream as earlier. He looked old and weak. I felt sad about him and, it reminded me of the nature of changing everything.
He could not recognize me. But I smiled with him. On that day one drunk man got onto the bus and, that conductor asked him to get down. But that drunk man did not obey him. That conductor also did not request again and again and let him sit. As well as he did not get angry with him as early. Then he asked to buy a ticket and, that drunk man gave a toffee instead of money. I thought there would be a fight according to previous situations I saw with this conductor. But it made him laugh and, he did not follow up with him. I was surprised by looking at his change.
So, when moving back to my story,
some of our idiots used to ring the bus bell a few times after I rang it once
to get down from the bus halt️. Then the driver did not stop the bus as he
thought that schoolboys were joking with him. So, I always had to walk a few
miles when those crazy guys were on the bus.
The other thing happened on our school bus and, on that day, I got into that bus to come back home. Those days, there was a couple in our school and, their love affair was famous among everyone. So, these two also used to go by this bus and, on that day, they stood in the mid of the school guys.
Everyone tried to look at them secretly without knowing them. So, I also gave my attention to them and time to time I watched their behavior. Suddenly, the bus stopped and, everyone dragged toward the driving seat. At that time, that boy gave a kiss to her cheek by hugging her. I looked another way, once I saw the incident and acted something else. On the next day, this incident was the main topic among many and, it was fun for them. Sometimes, this is not a big issue for you according to the culture that you have adopted. But as you know our Asian culture has many restrictions for school love affairs. As well as our culture does not accept kissing and hugging in public places. Therefore, this was an interesting story for many gossip lovers. After a couple of years, I used to go to Colombo for my higher studies by office transport. At that time, I met this girl and, she also used this van as her office transport. So, I often remembered this incident.
Later on, traveling by bus was enjoyable for us when I moved to another
school for my Advance Level. It was about the one-hour journey as there were
about twenty-five kilometers from home to school. So, I got this opportunity at
weekends and some weekdays when I had evening classes. Most of the time, I had
to go by school van on weekdays. So, it was fun to go by bus with the union of
friends and we had good freedom to share our funny stories and laugh.
Those days, we did not care about other’s thoughts and, we laughed a lot. If there was a school teacher on the bus, then only we stopped laughing we maintained school discipline. Some of them joked to us saying that we had some kind of drugs that could make us laugh. Now, I cannot imagine why did we laugh that much for small things. I think it’s because of our teenage. I remembered that we laughed for our own old memories. Or else someone on the bus was a reason for us to laugh. Sometimes you may think that we were mad. Yes. Those days we had a different mentality about everything. But no one blamed us even though they did not laugh with us. Very rarely, there were a few people who laughed with us.
So, I was the one who got down from
the bus at last among our crazy gang. One day a boy who sat next to me told me
to “Laugh now” once my friends got down from the bus after spreading the
laughter for an hour. Even though it made me laugh again, I just smiled with
him. When we were going for Advance Level exams also, this behavior did not get
changed. On the very first day, I went with my father and, the rest of the days
I went by bus. So, when we were laughing, the two men said that 'You all may
have to cry after receiving the exam paper️.
Recently, a bunch of school guys and gals got into the bus when I was coming from Colombo to home. They also crazy as us and it remembered my school days. They laughed for small things like nothing.
They were also the same as us. They were holding each other because of the crowd and, once the driver stopped the bus, they pulled to the front and returned to the back. It made me laugh even though I did not show it to them. I thought that others would think about us as so when we were school gals. Same time I felt that their discipline was also not good. As well as I thought this discipline issue was common for most of them after comparing us with them. The others also did not tell anything about their behavior.
At that time, I thought that everyone had this type of past memories. So, I thought the people who traveled with us in our school days would have the same feelings as me today. However, it was fun to watch that crazy school crowd as it was like a drama.
