Short Story

On a sultry Bangalore afternoon, A boarded a shared cab to reach office.

Minutes later, B joined in. A helped B close the door.B said "thanks".

A smiled.

B sat facing A at the back of the Tata Sumo Cab.

B dug into his pocket and started taking the blue wrapper of a 5 Rupees Dairy Milk.

The shiny substance caught A's eye. A thought to himself : "I was nice to him, hopefully he'll share the chocolate".

He didn't.

A saw him throw the blue wrapper through the window.A's eyes followed the wrapper on the road , as the cab raced ahead of the lone-blue-wrapper lying on the road.

The gold wrapper was still left on the chocolate. B passed the final obstacle before he could enjoy the small bar of happiness.

B was about to throw it out same way. Right then , something struck in A's mind and he lurched forward and said, "Can you give the wrapper to me? I ll throw it in a dustbin when i find one."

Both A and B stood frozen for a moment, finding it hard to believe what just happened.

A though a smile would help, so he smiled.

B kept the wrapper in his pocket, and went ahead with his chocolate.

A spent the rest of the ride thinking about writing this blog and how this small incident has made him more motivated towards keeping his city clean.

How about you ?
