2 Fast 2 Furious - The "Trotro" Experience

One cannot imagine how fast he or she could see her mobile phone snatched from them in a moving vehicle but this happened right before my very own eyes and it was so fast that at first I thought I was watching a movie but when i heard the lady sobbing two seats behind me, I realised it was a real situation.

It was a cold thursday night at about 10 pm when I got to the 'CIRCLE' trotro (bus station) feeling so tired and worked up for the day. The station looked deserted since most of the drivers and thier mates had closed for the day. Only a handful of drivers were around, though not all of them were willing to convey passengers to thier various destinations. We had to wait for some time before eventually, a bus came and decided to convery us to Adenta.

After boarding the bus and everyone was seated, the driver's mate started closing the windows of the bus. For those of us who were seated by the windows didn't know that what the mate was doing was for our own good but those loud-mouths started raining insults and abuses on the mate for closing the windows. The mate kept quiet and as the driver started the engine, some guys who were around the station started to direct the bus. The keep looking out for the driver whiles he reversed the bus and turn into the direction of the station's entrance. At the same monemt, a young man seated a seat in front of me and by the window had slightly opened his window to catch some cold fresh air whiles reading text messages on his cell phone. Suddenly, out of nowhere, and like the speed of light someone had snatched his mobile phone from him without warning. I could feel how he was feeling at that instant. It was like watching a movie where someone's bag is snatched and before he or she could start to shout, the person had disappeared. Just then the man started to hit his hand at the back of my seat both in shock and suprise. It was at that moment that some of us understood why the mate tried to close the windows in the first place.
The rest of the journey was full of suggestions to the young man and discussions about what had happened. Some said he should report to the police whilest others said he should try and forget about it. For some of us, we just continued our journey with sleep.
