Then the bus was moved from the bus stop.

A half hour later the bus stopped. A young man with his friend boarded the bus. He saw his teacher Mr Arjun Sahuji who had taught him in the primary school. He thought that his teacher would not recognize him after such a long time ; so, he paid no attention to his teacher. He sat in his teacher's side. After a moment he took the gutka out of his pocket and started chewing joyfully. Then suddenly Arjun Sahu also saw the young man and recognized him that he was his an ex-student. But he understood proper to keep quiet at that time.
