Chapter 8 - Return Journey [No Pera-8]

After getting our food back, we made a silent vow—

No more mistakes from today!

We finished eating peacefully and sat down, completely exhausted.

Me: "Bro, no more pera! Now we'll just get on the bus and go home."

Justin: "Exactly! Today's pera officially over!"

But Ayan was still suspiciously looking around. 😒

Ayan: "I don't trust you guys... every time you say 'No Pera', something worse happens!"

We started walking towards the bus stand, tired from the heat. The memories of the entire day still sent chills down our spines. 😆

Virgil, holding his stomach, said—

"Bro, I don't want any more trouble... I just want to sit by the window and sleep!" 😴

Tanid started laughing—

"Alright, but you know... sitting by the window comes with risks."

Virgil: "Bro, shut up! Don't say any bad things now!"

When we reached the bus stand, we saw the bus standing there... but completely packed! 😨

Me: "Here we go! Now we'll have to stand the whole way back!"

Ayan: "I knew it! The moment you said 'No Pera,' the universe started plotting against us!"

We somehow got into the bus and realized—

There wasn't a single empty seat!

Everyone was leaning on each other like a bunch of packed sardines.

Virgil, with pain written all over his face, looked at us—

"Bro... I... can't... take it anymore..."

Me: "Hold on! Just stand for a little longer!"

Suddenly, the bus hit the brakes—

We all fell on top of each other like dominos! 😭

Justin: "Bro, I think the driver won his license in a lottery!"

Tanid: "Is this a bus or a roller coaster? 🎢"

We somehow balanced ourselves... but then Virgil suddenly screamed—

"Bro... I can't breathe!"

We all got scared—

Me: "What happened?! Another disaster?!"

Virgil: "No... just... someone is leaning their entire body weight on me!"

We turned around and saw—

A huge uncle was leaning against Virgil like he was a wall! 😭

Justin looked at the uncle—

"Uncle, can you move a little? Our friend is suffering."

The uncle smiled—

"I would move... but where will I go in this crowd?"

Ayan whispered—

"I told you... sitting by the window comes with risks!"

Poor Virgil had no choice but to endure the pain. Even we weren't in a comfortable situation.

The bus kept moving, shaking more and more... and our moods were getting worse by the second.

The New Nightmare: The Conductor's Wrath!

Suddenly, the conductor entered the bus, shouting—

"Tickets! Everyone give your fare!"

We all reached for our pockets... and that's when I realized—

Me: "Bro... where's my wallet?!" 😨

Everyone froze.

Tanid checked his bag, Justin searched his pockets—

Ayan: "I told you! I told you something bad would happen!" 😭

Virgil, hit by another bump, almost fell sideways—

"Bro, is this nightmare still not over?!"

We barely had any money left.

Someone found a 2 taka coin... someone else pulled out a 5 taka note...

But that wouldn't cover everyone's fare!

Tanid: "Bro, what do we do?! We can't even get off the bus now!"

Ayan: "First we lost our food... now our money... what's next, our souls?!"

Panic was building up.

But out of nowhere, a kind uncle from the front of the bus stepped forward—

"Oh, poor kids! I'll pay your fare... don't worry!"

We were shocked! 😲

Justin: "Bro, this man is a real-life angel!"

Me: "Uncle, if you weren't here today... we'd probably get kicked out of the bus halfway through the journey!"

The uncle smiled—

"You've survived so many troubles today... now just get some rest."

We finally sighed in relief.

But Ayan was still laughing—

"You guys started the day saying 'No Pera'... and ended up in the middle of a disaster movie!"

We looked out the window, laughing along with him.

No matter how hard we try to live a No Pera life...

Pera always finds a way to sneak into our lives! 😆🔥

(Is this really the end... or is there more Pera coming? You name it...😏)
