A Weird Encounter
He didn’t seem like a passerby. It was evident that he was closing in on her. Despite her nonchalance, he was not ready to move on. First, she thought that he was trying to hit on her but soon realized that he had a different purpose of following her.
The Strange Follower
As soon as he was close enough to touch her, she turned and looked towards him. He was of a despicable frame. He wore dirty clothes and was stinking. She was not willing to have a conversation but looked him in the eye to make sure that he doesn’t take her to be nervous or scared.

She knew he was up to some mischief and would create trouble for her as well as himself. She looked at him firmly as if telling him to get away, but he was not in the mood to back off. She sat on the tarmac beside the road and he sat beside her. She planted her feet wide apart to give her an edge if she has to get up and react.
Sat Beside Her
She sat quietly and waited for her cab, wondering why the car ha not arrived yet. She decided not to look at him which she thought could aid a conversation. She sat there lost in her thoughts when the stranger asked an abnormal question with the least amount of inquisition. She wasn’t interested in answering either but gave a vague answer without looking at her phone.

Polyana knew that he was not interested in the answer she gave but she was not sure why had he asked her this question. She guessed that he wanted her phone to be brought out and she did exactly the opposite. She shifted to keep her phone away from the man and kept it in her waistband.
What’s The Time?
He asked her, “What’s the time?”When he saw I saw him, he sat next to me,” Polyana said. “He asked me the time, I said it, and I saw he wasn’t going to leave. So I already moved to put my cell phone in my waistband. And then he said, “Give me the phone.”
