It was around 10:30pm, my client and I were traveling in a local train in Chennai. He was tall with well built body and I was like nothing compared to him. As he was my worthy client I started impressing him by telling about my startup company elaborately. By his words I made myself damn sure that I won this deal. As we were busy in talking we didn't care anything that was happening around us. But I saw a girl sitting alone right in the next compartment. She seemed like a flight attendant by her outfit but that's not what took my attention, there were a group of brutes sitting opposite to her. I understood that they were commenting on her. But I was immersed in my work totally.
And the situation was going a bit worse. They started teasing her with some dirty comments. My client and I were observing all this. "That's why girls shouldn't travel alone at this uneven time bro. It's okay these things are common, nothing happens" he said. I was not comfortable with his words but I don't want to go against him. So I just nodded and we continued talking. I couldn't concentrate on my speech as those abuses were distracting me. I managed myself very hard and I'm not that brave enough to tackle the situation. They were five people and I'm alone. But still something inside me was pushing to help her. I could see that she was terribly upset by her face and totally uncomfortable there, I sensed that she's waiting for the next station to get down immediately because of those idiots but that was the last train. She was totally in trouble now. We all know that those idiots won't dare to touch her as we were right beside in the next compartment but still they were confident that no one would stop them from abusing. Now there's no choice I thought to do something even if it seemed too stupid. So I stood up and went to her. I acted like I knew her very well and said " hey hie.. , I didn't notice you till now. When did you come to Chennai?" I didn't even plan what to talk ,the mob stopped murmuring suddenly. She was in a shock, and was trying to remember who I was and a lot of thoughts were running in my mind. One side "Maybe She might think Iam also a pervert", on other side my mind was like " Dude seriously? Do you think this is a movie and u r a hero? Don't be such a fool". It was an awkward moment for me as I didn't know how will she react. Those guys were staring at me like "who the hell he is?"
I made a gesture with my eyes and gained her trust. Then she understood the situation finally and she took the words. "Hey! I just came a week ago, and I'm so glad to see you here" she said. I just took a breath.
As we were talking like we know each other very well since long time those guys were staring at us including my client. No one was getting what's happening there except us both. Even if I had a bit of fear at first a moment later everything was under control. I thanked her silently with a gesture. Somewhere inside I felt like "thank god I didn't end up like a fool." They completely lost interest on us and they started talking something else. And even I left my client alone. And her stop came. She got down and left by thanking me. My client came to me and said like "you are very lucky today, imagine how it would be if those guys get offended on you, did u look at them? They are local guys. They can never let you go back to home. Just focus on your things". That moment I got totally aggressive on him. And I replied " muscles doesn't make you a Man bro". And that's it.
Huh I should've kept calm. I lost the deal but I wasn't so sad, I slept peacefully that night.
