I think we both thought that my sister was with the other, but when we finally found each other after several stops on the crowded bus, we came to the sickening realisation that we had left my sister behind.
In a complete panic, we got off at the next stop and took another bus back to the pickup point.
We made a frantic search but my sis was nowhere in sight.
I was beginning to seriously panic when she emerged from a shop and waved us down.
Now, this was in the days before everyone had cell phones.
My sister had no money on her and did not know the phone number of my cousins’ home.
