The young couple who were there sit on the seat behind the driver and the boy sits on the side seat which is near the gate of the bus and the old lady sits on the seat just behind that boy.

Now there were a total of 6 people in the bus, 4 passengers and 2 bus staff. The bus starts moving towards its destination. The atmosphere inside the bus was absolutely calm. There was no human being visible anywhere on the road through which the bus was passing. The atmosphere inside and outside the bus was so peaceful that the sound of the engine of the bus was reaching the ears of the passengers. After passing about 4 stops like this, the bus driver saw 2 people standing on the side of the road.

Seeing this, at first the driver thought that he would not stop the bus because there was no bus stop where he was standing. They were standing on a road between the forests, then on the persuasion of the female conductor, the driver stopped the bus because it was the last bus on this route and they would not get any other bus. As soon as the bus stopped, those two people entered through the rear door of the bus. When the eyes of the passengers and bus staff traveling in the bus fell on them, they got scared because they were not 2 people but 3 people.

The faces of 2 of them were absolutely white, more white than the common people and the third person was kept standing by supporting his shoulder. The third man had his head down with his hair disheveled and his face completely covered. All the three people were wearing clothes from the ancient period of China, which surprised all the passengers traveling in the bus. All the three persons went to the back seat of the bus and sat down.

Due to this, the female conductor explained to the people that they work in a drama company and due to late night, they forgot to take off their clothes in a hurry to go home. Bus number 375 moved forward from here, now there were 9 people in the bus from here, 6 people who were already in this bus, 3 new people had now come in the bus. The old lady who was already traveling in the bus was repeatedly looking back. The next stop has come. The young couple who were there get down at this stop.

Bus number 375 again moves towards its destination. Now there were total 7 people in the bus, the bus moves ahead from here. Still the old lady was looking at those 3 people by turning again and again. Those people seemed strange to him but all the other people present in the bus were busy with themselves. The lady conductor was busy talking to the driver while the boy sitting in front of the old lady was busy looking at the view outside the bus window.

After going ahead for about 2-3 kilometers like this, the old woman shouts loudly and slaps the boy sitting in front of her and says where is my purse?? Hurry up Hearing this, the female conductor comes towards the old lady and says. He didn't steal your purse, he is sitting in front of you.

The boy also explained the same thing to the old lady but the old lady was adamant and started talking about handing the boy over to the police. The driver and the female conductor explained a lot to the old lady but she did not understand and the driver was taken to the next stop. bid to stop.

As soon as the bus stopped, the old woman grabbed the boy's collar, dragged him down, and the bus went back to its destination. The boy was very upset because of this incident that happened to him. The boy said to the old lady, I did not steal your purse and because of your wrong allegation, I missed my last bus.

Now how will I go home and to which police station are you taking me as there is no police station nearby. Only then the old woman says to the boy after taking a long deep breath. I didn't get you off the bus to take you to the police station, nor did you steal my purse.

I leveled this allegation to save your life. The boy was shocked to hear this and says how did you save my life?? The old lady says do you remember those 3 persons who boarded the bus last. I kept an eye on him all the way. I found them strange from the beginning. During the way, when I was looking at them, I was scared to see that their clothes were blown away for a while due to the strong winds because they had no legs and I could not believe my eyes. It happened as if I had a dream.

I was constantly keeping an eye on them when I saw the face of the third person who was on the shoulders of both of them. Seeing this, I had understood that he is not a human being. I had to get down from that bus as soon as possible and save your life too, so I falsely accused you of my purse so that those people do not have any doubt and we both get down from that bus safely.

Hearing this the boy said if it was true then why didn't you tell the bus staff. The old woman said, I told the female conductor about this sentence, but she did not take it seriously and started explaining that I have been deceived by my eyes.
