Taxi Driver Picks Up 13-Year-Old Girl, Then Follows Her
Something Different
The girl had been closed off throughout the journey. Although she was uneasy, she seemed sure about what she was doing. That had been the only reason Arora kept driving to her destination instead of taking her back home.
But now, as he watched her through his taxi’s window, seeing how she stood in the growing train station populace, he saw something different.
She’s Scared
Arora noticed that the girl was scared. Her eyes were wide as she stared around, searching for someone. There was a tremble to her fingers and a quiver to her lips.
She held her school bag tightly to her chest like she had not been used to such huge crowds. She felt and looked awkward and out of place. Watching her put a few things into perspective.
