The Mystery Bus

It was not a usual dark Sunday night, the clouds of sky painted with a tinted shade of saffron,
I boarded the bus to Bangalore. As it started moving out of the rushy Trichy Bus station, there was thunders that just sounded like beats of our A R Rahman. The rain started trying to fill up the blanks between the banks of Kauveri and highway. The progress in Travel also lead to progress in rains and there was too much water everywhere.

But the driver gave no regard for rain, just pushing the engine to its limits, thanks to his
skills over the water filled highways. Journey in back seat is not always so pleasing, but
Luckily it was a Volvo machine that day, so I felt safe inside its cool cabin. After weekend
full of roaming, my eye lids were surrendering fast to the gravitation, for a nice sleep.
Almost every one was on the same state of sloppiness. There was murmuring on back seat,
"Venkat, you should play well in this Ranji match to hope a place in Indian Under 18 team.",

But there was no one replying to his advice. The guy sitting next to me was traveling to Bangalore for the first time it seems he was inquiring his friend on the other seat, "Satya when the bus will reach in morning", Satya who was listening to his IPod, took of his earphones and told "Sorry Dilip, What you were asking", I just intervened their conversation so that they wont speak further and I can sleep."Around 5 O’clock", he told thank you and I was in no mood to acknowledge him.

Then came the sound, that is quite unusual to listen in this world, But I am still very much in my
sleep and slowly started feeling that I am off my Seat and there was something seriously wrong. Voice from the rear seat "the bus has run above a car”, while another voice "bus  slipped off the road". I started feeling scared, scariness defeated the laziness, now I am slightly awake. I just realized that the in front of our Bus there was something strange, unnatural  vessel. And one boy in front screamed, "Mummy some Alien craft" ! .

I can't believe listening such words, the bus looked like someone took off the front part due
to some magnificent light, and i was looking to take out my mobile phone and I realized I was some meters away from some sort of thing, which really eaten up my mind, I was not sure that It was a truck or some other Monster vehicle. By this time most of the people in the front rows have fled off at least 500m away from the object and bus. Now the brightness of the object started raising and it was like a self illuminated light ball. Now it was just myself and about four people left behind in bus.

As per the wildest of imaginations, somethings which looking similar to small motor bikes
(Biko Alien), crawled out of the strange vessel. Tensions started raising and also our interest.
The guy who was sitting behind me started moving towards the alien Biko and his father was
screaming, hey Venkat don't go near that, and it happened as he was scared. Venkat was struck  and thrown off a dozen meter apart from the moving alien Biko. Now the remaining four of us up from our seat and It was all a sense of anger and war cry, Venkat's father fell unconscious and so we started drawing a rescue and escape plan.

We looked for weapons something like our ancestors might have used to counter the aliens in their times and few were handy on the spot. Thanks to the active idea of Satya. He took the fire extinguisher and gave me the cricket bat that Venkat was carrying and the next step is attack. We decided to have a coordinated attack, thanks to the detailed report of those Mumbai attacks, we have decided that self defense is the first priority. Since we don't know the actual characteristic of the alien to which it may respond, we decided to go ahead with the typical street fight style. First Satya will spray the fire extinguisher by coming out from the right side of the bus and I ll suddenly hit the alien Biko with the bat which will be further supported by Satya, then Dilip will do the rescuing of Venkat duringthe time and we all will flee off the place. First we moved Venkat's father out of the area.

Me, Dilip and Satya, decided to go for the hunt risking our life for the sake of Venkat, for the sake of saving our Planet, with full vigor Satya ran towards the alien Biko and sprayed the fire extinguisher over it, Dilip was very swift to reach Venkat by the time and rescued him, but suddenly the alien Biko become monstrous and turned towards Venkat and Dilip. I started chasing the alien to secure them, but it was moving in a speed but like that of diwali cracker rocket.

And when it reached near Dilip and Venkat there came a voice from the other side, which gave me a sense of rude shock. "Madiwala Sir ! Madiwala...!!! Come Out, Please Be fast”. I forced my eye lids to open and rushed off towards the exit holding luggage on a hand and removed shoes on the other with still half asleep and in mind still the thoughts about the alien, Slowly realizing its a cool dream caused by mid day "Transformers" movie, when the morning drizzle of Bangalore was falling over my face. Now I am waiting for my next travel to know
what happen to me Venkat, Dilip and the super alien Biko ... ;)
