Aashna desperately searched everywhere on the road, but it seemed like they were already gone. She walked a bit further in hopes of finding them. She had reached the front of the ChaiScript Book Cafe when she heard the bike and screaming sounds from a distance. She saw their headlights shining through the other end of her sight. She stood, right in the middle of the road, tightening her grip on the wood timber, at her side. She spread her arms to make her presence known. The road was empty, at least no one to their knowledge, around. The bikers, still yelling, came near her. As expected, they lowered their speeds expecting her to move out of their way. But as adamant as she was, not her, but they had to give in and stop, just a few feet away from her. She had constant, confident eye contact with them, whose faces were hidden under helmets. She walked towards them.

"So you finally have the basic decency of stopping when you see someone on the road. Good. At least y'all are wearing helmets too." She said, still throwing a death stare at them.
