It was another remorseful and burden sum day of my life. The sky's it looked were pouring out their heart just for me. Sitting there on the bus stand i was waiting for the last bus out of my office to a crammed room somewhere in a shabby neighbourhood with nothing but just a fan, a fridge and a microwave to give me company. A stray dog was roaming around the bus. It came to me and looked up at me with the begging look that is unique to dogs only. I searched my bag for the breakfast that i in a hurry had put somewhere to have on the way but never id. I threw pieces of food at him and it ate them happily and after that started wagging it tale asking for more i looked around hoping the bus would come a little sooner. It was already 15 min late i heard it engine and saw its headlight at a distance but then all of a sudden the roar of its engine died. The road was lonely there was not a lot of movement in this block of the city at this time. i started moving towards the bus, the dog seemed to follow me maybe thinking he might get a little more to eat or maybe just because it wanted to play. I reached the bus the driver seemed to be struggling with the engine and the tools box
"What happened?"
"Don't know exactly but the bus just won't start up"
"How much time will it take?"
"I have no idea I've called a mechanic he'll be here in twenty, lets see what he has to say"
twenty minutes thats lot of time I thought I better sit down at the bus stop where the cold was a little less.
My life had always been full of bad lucks and loneliness. I worked hard to meet ends meet and yet still it was never enought. I nevr went to school or college and had lived most of my life in a large farm with very few people to talk to. the lonely roads reminded of those days. The dog sat near my legs on the bus stand. Looks like its just me and you out here buddy in this loney place and guess what today i was fired from my job and now i have nowhere to go nothing to do just like you." it liked my hand and gave an excited bark thinking my talks to be start of his playtime
"You enjoy that don't you the fact that i am a big loser" it twitched its ear as if it heard something and started running soon he disappeared in the shadows. Seemed like the story of my life everything seems to be running away from me. The presentation today i worked so hard for it. It was my shot at the much deserved promotion and now i was fired from my job for irresponsible behavior. Who made those morphed pics of me fucking the boss and the lewd messages from my mobile phone i had no idea and i was fired right before the presentation. I did mail the final draft to boss last morning he must have taken all the credit for the presentation ad all i got was a "You're fired"
I didn't have any family any friends what was i living for even at my job i could never make friends due to my insecurities the same reasons i was home schooled and did my degree through correspondence i never had the courage to face the outside world and now i had lost my means for earning too. all this was too mch to take the lonelyness and the silence reminded me of those words "You are a stupid kid james nobody wants you even you're own parents left you and now i am burdened with bringing up an ass like you."
I could never respond to her i could never repond well to anyone this presentation i thought was my only chance to break free to give it a try to try and speak up but now its gone. Suddenly there was a sharp pain that started rissing in my chest. Soon everything started becoming dark and then i felt or maybei didn't cause it didn't hurt anywhere except the heart. There was silence i could not even shout for help there was no one but then sudeenly there was noise that was becoming faint.
"Are you awake mr?"
"Where am I?"
"You're at the city hospital you had a heart attack but now you're fine."
"heart attack?" my voice was low even i couldn't hear it.
"You should rest for now we'll talk later"
Two weeks later when i got out of the hospital i went to thank the bus driver for saving and calling the ambulance. I wanted to give him a gift but as i was jobless and cash striven so i took flowers instead. I told him how much thankfull I was.
"Well you should thank the dog he was really the one who saved you"
"The dog?" I was perplexed at his statement.
"Yes that thing first started barking near the bus stand at what ithink was the time you had the stroke i didn't pay much attention but then he came and grabbed my bag and ran with it when i ran after him he left the bag near you and thats when i noticed you had collapsed and called the ambulance"
"Had it not been for him no one would have noticed and you would have been dead before anyone noticed."
I was still jobless but I had hope now and I wasn't lonely anymore I finally had a friend in this world . There was finally someone i could talk to someone I could count on and someone who saved me and cared for me.What else had i ever asked for? We were both rejected by the society we were both stray.
