Every morning, Nandini walked to her bus stop, her footsteps echoing down the quiet suburban street.
Šmykľavka: 2
She had always noticed the old man sitting on the bench near the stop. He would smile warmly at her, his eyes brimming with a strange mix of sorrow and affection.
Šmykľavka: 3
In his soft and raspy voice, he would say..
Good morning, Nandini!
Good morning.
Šmykľavka: 4
She'd reply hesitantly, always wondering how he knew her name.
Šmykľavka: 5
How does he know my name?
Šmykľavka: 6
One chilly winter morning, Nandini finally worked up the courage to ask her mother about him.
Šmykľavka: 7
Guess I should ask mom.
Šmykľavka: 8
Mom, do you know the old man near the bus stop? The one with the pink school bag?
Šmykľavka: 9
Her mother froze, her face pale as if she had seen a ghost.
What did you say?
Šmykľavka: 10
The man with the pink school bag. He's there every morning.
Šmykľavka: 11
Tears welled up in her mother's eyes.
Nandini, your grandfather used to wait for the bus with you when you were little. He carried your pink school bag everywhere after....after the accident.
Šmykľavka: 12
What accident?
Šmykľavka: 13
When you were five, you ran into the street chasing a ball. A car came speeding towards you, and your grandfather....he pushed you out of the way. He didn't make it.
But...I see him everyday.
Šmykľavka: 14
Nandini, your grandfather died seven years ago.
Šmykľavka: 15
Nandini's heart pounding fast.
That evening, Nandini returned to the bus stop.
Šmykľavka: 16
The old man was there, just as always, the pink school bag with him.
Šmykľavka: 17
Nandini walks closer, and in her trembling voice whispered..
Šmykľavka: 18
Grandpa..?
Šmykľavka: 19
The old man looked at her with a sad smile.
I couldn't leave, Nandini. Not until....
Šmykľavka: 20
...I knew you were safe.
Šmykľavka: 21
You saved me. But....even after you've been gone all this time, you're here.
Šmykľavka: 22
And now I can rest.
Šmykľavka: 23
Be brave, my Nandini. I'll always be watching over you.
Šmykľavka: 24
With that, the old man disappeared, leaving the pink school bag behind on the bench.
Šmykľavka: 25
Nandini picked it up, clutching it tightly. The air felt lighter, the street quieter.
Šmykľavka: 26
Slowly, his figure beginning to fade.
From that day on, the bus stop felt empty, but Nandini knew she'd never truly be alone.
Šmykľavka: 27
The End.
