Along came MID NIGHT!!!!!

While writing this post , i was literally laughing myself.
But wanna share this spectacular/scary experience
Day before yesterday 16.11.2011
As usual hectic day at office,i have started doing a new work which gives me head ache almost all the time.
Came down to the car parking 10 minutes late. Already 3 employees were fighting with the cab  coordinator saying, "when we come late you don't give cabs, but when you give cabs late...we don't utter a word?"!!! Logic!makes sense...
I listened to their hearty fight for minimum 8 minutes , then my friend THE HEAD ACHE started his music again and along with the voices in cab area as a background..he was making more noises inside my head.
I could not stand the noise a minute longer.... by this time it was night 10.50
I already had a tiring day you can forgive me...So i thought i could take a lift from someone..
Way too bold i know...but Mr head ache made me do this! 
So i came out of office ,,,,,it was around 11.00 PM
And started walking....its an official area so i could see cabs and few  people walking around....
I was not scared! Just had an urge to get back to my PG as fast as i could!
Then came a turning  i saw few corporate employees returning home in their two wheelers..
I showed my hand, asked for lift...one poor fella stopped and gave me lift...
Luckily he is from my company itself,i said
I have to go till REDFOX hotel, can you drop me there,..he said i m going near cyber towers...but still i can drop you..i was really happy...
I got in his two wheeler...we did not speak much...he dropped exactly in front of the hotel...i crossed the road...
One dog started following me...Naturally(i hate dogs) :) :)
And the poor fella or felli wasnt leaving me alone...following me with full speed..god damn it...i was scared ..
And in the verge point of running...Suddenly the road was free...without vehicle..literally ran & crossed the road as fast as i could and divorced the doggie from my head.
Walking walking and walking..
I really judged the distance badly..it would take minimum one hour to reach home if i walk and not so a safe place...
There is no auto , no share auto...nothing...
Except the cars and bikes going on their way...
Hell..i was really really scared....
What am i gonna do??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont know..Sick i should have waited for the next round of cabs...what an idiot i m....(my scolds to myself)
then along came a car...
The guy inside the car bent his head and was looking at me...
I thought he was a cab driver..... and i asked bhaiya ,which way you are going? he said i m going to mehdipatnam! Heck its the other route he is going, then i said " its okay bhaiya, you carry on i m going to gachibowli, which is the other way round"
He said ," its okay you get in , i will drop you" I had a doubt in my head..should i trust this guy..
I could see, no one else was there in the cab, which made my heart beat little harder!
But standing there along in the forest kinda place scared me more.
I asked how much you want till gachibowli..he told me how much ever you want, you give me that!
So i told " i dont know, even i m new to this area...so you say your price?
So he told ,"give me 10 rs ..its fine"
A cab at midnight for 10 RS i was not able to beleive my luck ...inside my head ...head ache was gone and filled with tension
Can i trust him?!!! seems i dont have any option....:)
As soon as i got into the cab and sat next to him...i was totally confused ..am i so bold at this point of time..trusting a cab driver and getting into his car???
all types of rapes and murder stories came zig zag into my head..
I was in terror...So i decided...
If he sprays at me~~~~~~~ i will jump from the car
So i kept my hands in the door lock itself...If he noticed it...he didnt show that..
I was so scared i didnt feel like observing neither the place, the car nor him...
finally the U-turn for my place came ...i was relieved..because it was a fly over road...if i scream..people can hear me....crazy confidence i had...
And my place came along...I told him to stop in the main road itself...
He stopped... I took 10 Rs from my purse & gave him the money..
He said " its okay'
I told," come on if you want more, i will give you"
He said again," its okay" i felt like giving a lift..no problem..
I told," come on its your money, who would drop for free?
And he said," its okay, i m an employee too.. I just wanted to give you a lift..thats all.,.."
i have never been so embarrassed in my entire life..:))
I told him the same, "Come on you have to take the money...And finally he said ,"no its okay"
So i got out wished him bye ,walked back to my place...which is just 60 seconds far..
He called," good night"....
I turned and looked at his face for the first time," and said Good nite"...:)
Though it turned out to be a very scary and unbelievable experience....
But i will never forget the guy,though i have not observed anything about him.....he is a very nice man....
Whomever he is....i m happy i met him....Along came mid nite.. :):):)

Prathi....
