I was suspicious about the way he was turning back every now and then. The man was walking a short distance in front of me. He was dressed casually. I looked at him closely. Is there an unusual bulge in his pocket? No, it was his hand. How foolish of me!. His short stature made him look bulky. What was he looking at? I turned and looked. but I could not find anything unusual. Quite a lot of people were on the road. Who or what was he looking at?
He turned back a fifth time. This time I also turned with him. It was then I noticed another man striding, apparently in a casual manner. But there was an intent in his stride. I looked back again. This time his intent stare at the small man was not an illusion. Then I know for sure that the small man before me was scared of him. Who was he? How are they connected? I felt small bubbles of excitement surfacing in my mind.
The tall man behind me had a determined set about his jaw. For some reason he was following the small man and our shorty had some reason to be afraid of him. My curiosity knew no bounds. I decided to see it to the end. After all I was in no hurry to reach anywhere!
I began to spin possible answers to the nagging questions in my mind. Has the small man stolen something from the roughy behind me? Or has he done something that needs to be hidden from the rest of the world? Is the small man a convict and the other a police officer? Is he, by any chance a terrorist and trying to plant a bomb somewhere and the tall 'officer' got the wind of it? I deliberately fell behind the tall man so that I could watch both of them.
Now both of them were walking fast, which necessitated a speed in my movement also. Presently the tall man actually caught up with the small one and caught hold of him by the collar of his shirt. I was excited and edged nearer not to miss the excitement.
"Leave me alone. I didn't do anything", the small man screeched.
" Then why were you looking back at me?" the tall man demanded.
"You were following me for the last 30 minutes or so and staring at me whenever I looked at you. I was scared. I thought you were coming after me for some reason. That was why I was looking at you", our shorty sniveled.
The tall man guffawed "You came out of the supermarket and from that time, you were looking back and I thought you had pinched something from there. So I decided to keep an eye on you. That's all. By the way are you going to the bus station?"
"Yes I am" . The small man sounded relieved.
"OK, Let's go" They left together talking companionably.
Well!! What do you think I did? So much for all those exciting possibilities!!
