Lost in his chain of thoughts, Ron missed his station. The metro stopped at the next station when he realized that he missed his stop. Ron was pondering on and projecting the time ahead.

‘Hey, champ! your phone,’ Said one of the passengers while handing Ron the mobile phone that he dropped. He was unaware of it while lost in his thoughts.

‘Thank you, Sir.’ Ron expressed gratitude.

‘Seems like you are in some deep trouble, Champ!’

‘No. What draws you to that conclusion?’

‘Your face is saddened, and your eyes are drowning in sorrow. It seems that something is troubling you.’

‘Oh! I missed my stop. That is why you might see some shades of sorrow on my face,’ said Ron.

‘No, you do not seem to remember me. I am your high school basketball coach,’ said that old man with a smile on his face.

‘Oh my god! Mr. Samuel. How are you?’

‘I am good.’

‘It’s been decades. Last time we met at the reunion.’

‘Yes. Your start-up had the largest ever IPO that day.’
