Answer

I was at the bus interchange waiting for the bus. The queue at the crowded but interchange
was snaking along the bus stand. Many were eagerly, awaiting the arrival of the bus in order
to enjoy a quick respite from the sweltering heat. A gleaming film of perspiration could be
seen on each forehead, with an occasional bead trickling from the temple, down the side of
the face.

"I've found you ! I've finally found you ! Where have you been ?" a shrill voice of hysteria
broke out. Everybody turned around to look. A woman with disheveled long hair was
clasping the arm of a petrified boy in a tenacious grip. The poor boy seemed terrified.

"Let me go ! Let go ! I do not know you !" the boy screamed in desperation as he tried to
pull himself free from the woman who had a crazed look in her eyes.
Some adults rushed forward to intervene but to everyone's dismay, the insane woman grew

violent when one of them reached out to pry the struggling boy away from her. "Don't you

snatch my son away !" she shrieked and attempted to scratch the man's face while trying to

pull his hair at the same time. One lady brought the traumatized boy aside at the first

opportunity. Several men stepped in to stop the assault as they tried to subdue the frenzied

woman.
