One of them yelled rudely as if he lost 500,000,000 dollars rather than just an accident while another woman asked the compensation for the delay of her business. It is not wise to dispute these boring, troublesome problems in this broken useless bus, so I got off without any hesitance. But I lost hope when there just cold aggressive wind, shut subway station and taxis without empty seats drove me crazy. Just when I was in such a helpless situation, something amazing happened: another bus from the airport was coming! It was like a life-saving straw when I was about to sliding from the cliff. God didn’t abandon me. I ran on the bus as quickly as I can as if it would disappear in a second. Thinking everything was finally alright, I was able to close my
