Two Minutes

It was the time when everybody was rushing for home after working so hard for the day. I boarded the train, heading Orchard to meet my friend for dinner. The train was so crowded, and I would say that one has to squeeze if he/she wanted to alight the train.

The train, "fully-packed" with passengers, drove into Somerset station. When the doors were opened, people in the station started to push and squeeze in.

"Come, come, quickly, or else we have to wait for the next train", a lady told her friends.

Everybody was just trying their very best to get on the train and to fight for a very little space in order to reach home faster, while the next train was just two minutes behind.

"Excuse me", a voice appeared. A couple was trying to alight, but the train was so full that they couldn't manage to make their way to the exit. In addition, the crowds were trying to board, this has worsen the situation. Before they were able to reach the exit, the doors were closed, heading to the next station.

If you were the couple, how would you feel?
