Love Began with the First Meeting

If you want something you've never had, you must do something you've never done.

Molly arrived at the bus station.

The station was extremely crowded because it was noon time. Molly wasn't planning on going anywhere specific. She just followed a crowd of people moving to get on a bus. She didn't even see the bus number or the plate number. The bus was completely jammed inside. People were squeezing to get in the bus. And because Molly was rather short and thin, she couldn't resist the people violently pushing and jostling her from all directions. She was passed back and forth around the bus as people moved to get a more comfortable spot. Finally, she got a hold of the bar at the exit door and she decided to stay there.

Since it was summer, the windows of the bus were closed for the air conditioner. The lack of fresh air made the bus stink of sweat, breath, and cheap perfume. Molly found it difficult to breathe. It made her look back to her past where she had to take the bus everyday. Maybe, she had just already grown so accustomed to living quite a luxurious life that she forgot how difficult and frankly, disgusting it was to commute on a daily basis. 'Wow, I'm so privileged now, ' Molly frowned slightly.

The bus steadily hummed along the road crowded with vehicles. As they went further, soon the trees turned into skyscrapers. More and more people were getting both on and off the bus now. Molly realized that she knew none of these people - and that there was a chance that she would never see these people again. She pondered about how this was true for all the people we met or we would meet in our lives - they'll all leave one day and by the end of it, you'll end up alone.

"South Street Alley station! Passengers, get off at the back door, please!" the bus conductor announced.

The name drew Molly's attention. She raised her head and looked out of the window. The bus was now halted and people were getting off and she followed. She couldn't remember the last time she was here - probably a long time ago. But still, everything seemed familiar - as if nothing had changed. This made Molly smile - she always did love nostalgia.

Instinctively, she put a hand on her stomach - it had slightly shrunk from skipping meals at the villa. She pursed her lips in hesitation before finally taking

up on enjoying her little trip - looking at little trinkets, tasting food that she hadn't noticed that someone had been following her the whole time.
