After a moment of confusion I realised it was the man,he had shot himself in the crotch. I reasoned later that if I had justbounced his head off the d...ash he might have shot the driver by reflexaction. He still pulled the trigger, but because I had pulled himthrough the window I had turned him sideways enough to miss the womanaltogether.The woman sat as if frozen, probably shock, as I pressed a button onthe side of my helmet which allowed me to call 911. Did I mention thehelmet had been. My front hair had grown past eyebrows and started messing with my eyelashes.“Deeksha, can you cut my front hair?” I asked.Surprisingly she got excited,”Come here, let me do your full haircut.” She said, “I took beautician classes before getting bored and dropping out.”She rejected my bathroom scissor and brought her haircut set from her flat.I sat facing the tv and she started cutting. She pulled my hair section by section and trimmed it with scissors. Her long fingers and soft hands felt. I had a colleague by name Lakshmi. She was known to be a typical god fearing, very fair, slim, long hair touching her back and beautiful in late 30s. Though in the same office hardly we met since we were from different departments, just hi, good morning type of chat. After few months of joining that office, on a monsoon morning while going to office I saw her in a bus-stop, while I was caught up in traffic and was very slow, just wondering whether to stop or not. On seeing me she came forward. They slowly walked the rest of the way around the lake and up the path to the main park. Brad reached the jogging trail first and started jogging before Sue even got back to the trail. When she got there, she saw that Brad was almost a hundred yards in front of her with no intention of waiting for her or saying good by. She jogged back to her car, drove home, showered and made dinner for her family.That evening, and a couple times during the following week her husband made love to her. Sue.
