Chapter 108

She was wet, cold and stranded; the last car had also shattered her hope and had driven past by. There was no other vehicle in the vicinity and with a load of disappointment and frustration she got into the car not knowing what to do. A couple of minutes later she saw some light in the front and it was getting a bit closer and a ray of hope swept across her forehead.

She got down the car and tried to walked towards the light and when she got closer it was the car that had passed her by earlier and she was relieved that some one was human enough to help her out and waved at the driver in the car. The car came to a halt and someone stepped out, completely covered in a raincoat and holding an umbrella and she couldn’t say for sure it was a male of a female and the figure approached her.

She asked if she could borrow a cell phone and also mentioned that she has a flat tire and out of gas and brushed on the railing and has a dent which was nothing major. Looking at her, he walked closer and held out the umbrella so that she won’t get any more drenched than she already was and gave her his cell phone to make the call. She had not been running the engine in her car so she was cold and since he noticed that he asked her to sit in his car with the engine running so that she can warm up.
