A lonely walker

People are rushing to buses and subways while she is searching for someone to help her with the exit to subway station on her first day in NYC. How can others pay attention to her when they don't have time for themselves. She is a lonely walker on busy streets. A cautious lady sitting inside a subway train, keeps changing her eyes between subway maps and display boards, being scared whether she misses her destination. She wonders after stepping out of the small subway exit passage, seeing huge buildings and busy roads. It is drizzling and she has forgotten to carry an umbrella. Her steps are quite short compared to those busy gigantic people who pass by her way. She realizes but with many confusions that the subway is having many exits to different streets. Maps are confusing her even more. She is searching for someone again. Expecting her way back to hotel room would be the same she headed to the subway and then to the nearest exit. Again the exit ditched her with a surprise. Street lights and display boards are adding blush to her face along with the surprise. She is confused whether to walk further and see more wonders like Alice in wonderland, or to find a way to PABT 42nd st. Times square is too irresistible for her to take herself back to the correct route. As usual she started playing with her camera. Time is running fast. A big clock reminded her about the bus. She is searching again for someone. Oh !!! She finds two handsome fellows, standing and watching people around. The only two people who seem to be not in a hurry. Tall and Handsome Cops!!! A lonely walker who is enjoying each step of herself. To be continued...
