Once
a boy and a girl were moving around the city in a motorcycle. The girl was
riding on the pillion. She was wearing a T-shirt and Wrapper (a traditional
dress of the tribes in the north-eastern region of India and worn on the lower part of
the body.).
Later
on, they stopped in front of a college for some work. In a few moments, they
finished their work and were ready to resume their ride. But, what happened
thereafter was really astonishing. The boy started the motorcycle thinking her
to be on the pillion seat and started to move on. But to the utter disbelief of
the girl, a part of her wrapper got stuck in the rear wheel of the motorcycle
and her wrapping around her waist started to loosen up. The boy did not have
the slightest of inkling of what was happening and he simply drove on taking
the wrapping with him in the process. Now, the wrapper went off completely from
her waist and she stood undressed in the middle of the road and in full view of
the passers-by.
The
girl stood on the very ground as if in a trance. She did not move an inch and
looked around helplessly. Looking at her pitiable condition, a rickshaw puller
standing nearby offered his towel to her. She quickly put the towel around her
waist and went away in an auto-rickshaw.
