My bus experience # *1*

I was seated in the last row, where I captured a place for myself as soon as I boarded the bus. It was less crowded not as usual. One or two stops later a thin man with a appearance of the 'Kreacher' of the 'Harry Potter' stuff (a bit tall) boarded. He stood before me like a pole, though hanging with his grip due to movement of the bus.He started staring in a weird manner(though still hanging).
He had a power in his eyes, as contrary to his built.(Oh!) He was not looking at me, but at the boy on my left.
'So you have started going to gym', he said and the boy nodded in acceptance. Silence for a few seconds.'Yeah! it is visible from your biceps..hmmm..'. The boy smiled. 'I used to be like you- a few years back, you know tension and all.' Silence for a few more seconds. ' You know I am married', I realized as if the boy sitting was saying,'So what...who cares...Shut up!', smiling and looking at him.
I felt that the man was now talking to me.
He had a certain grip in his eyes which you couldn't ignore. 'Yes Sir! I had well defined triceps', holding his sleeves to the grip of his thin biceps. 'You can see Sir, earlier they were like this', pointing the flat of his biceps. 'Now you know....', I felt sympathy for him.
'Yesterday, uncle told me that he need my help in a dispute...you know.. how I taught them a lesson...', now he was ignoring me and talking to that boy sitting again. I felt 'Shut up, Who cares, etc..', for him.
