The Jaunt.

A desperate bus driver honked the horn. 

It's already 4:00 PM at the Bus Park of Kathmandu – Many buses were starting an engine to kick off their journey. A conductor of the bus hastily dialed Sarika's number; the number you have dialed is busy. 

"Let's start a bus; she might come later.", A conductor with haggard eyes mumbled.

All of a sudden, a bachelorette was rushing and yelling distantly. 

"Hello! I am coming."

She sighed her relief intimidatingly, showed her tickets to the bus guide, and asked her seat in a camaraderie.

Manish was sitting in an aisle seat, and the window seat was for her.

"Hello! Can I go inside?" 

"Of course!", He gestured to her.

The bus was almost full of passengers also in the back seat. Air Conditioning opened, and the suspension facilitated bus was about to leave the Capital city premises. The dusk was about to begin, and the background song volume was sluggishly belittling.

He moved his palm towards her. 

"Hi! I am Manish. You?"

She uttered in a grimace, "Oh!"

He insisted, "What do you do? Student or Job holder?"

She chuckled, lifting her spectacles, "Amid of both. You?"

"I am a modest son of my father. He owns a humongous business in Capital City; I am just helping him in his work." He replied

Afterward, there was a moment of silence. The bus was accelerating its speed, overtaking slow speed traffics in the meandered thoroughfare. The outside temperature was descending slowly. A sudden gust of cool breeze jerked passengers back to their surroundings. The bus halted its engine. 

Someone starts shouting, "Let's depart for late lunch. Do in a hurry."

The dusk changed into a night. A surrounding was in a gust of cool breeze, and drop down in temperature. Most of the passengers made their tummy full of snacks; so did Manish and Sarika.

"The food was delicious, though I didn't think of it initially," Sarika said.

"Indeed." "Nonetheless, the price is quite extravagant.", Manish added.
