Train Love

Chapter 5

Vinoth's POV

As time passes I forget myself and continued to talk about the stories I have read before. At some point I thought it must be boring to her. But seeing her eyes going wide in some parts and glistening all the while, I know she is interested in hearing my stories.

"Can you both please stop your flirting and go to sleep?" A voice from next seat

"Sorry"
we both said at the same time and laughed at each other after that... without any sound ofcourse. Then we slept.

I woke up to see empty seat opposite to me. Yes... she is not in her seat. I got up from my seat and searched for her but she is nowhere in that compartment and her luggage too.

Sitting in my seat, looking at the opposite seat, not only the place but my heart also becomes empty. It feels like she took my all feelings with her.

I dont know her number. I dont know her whereabouts. I dont even know her name. Where can I find her? How can I find her?

Train reached my destination. I looked at her place before I leave. Even though I know she must be left the train already, my eyes stupidly searched for her again in the thousands of people walking in front of me.

Until I reach my room my eyes searched for her everywhere. On the road, in cars and autos, hotels... everywhere. But no use.

Unlucky me

Third Person POV

It's been one year. Both of them never forgot each other. They often think about each other. Whenever they have to travel in train they always search for each other.

"We just told you to meet him. Why cant you just go and meet him. It's not a big deal" Pooja's mom told her.

"Now you're saying to meet him. Then you will tell me to marry him. I know your plans."

"We won't compel you. I promise.  He is my friend's son. I just accepted their proposal for the meeting. If you don't go, our friendship will be in vain. Just meet him. If you dont like him, I will manage it." His dad said... pleaded her.

"Ok dad. I will meet him only for the sake of your friendship. If I dont like him then you have to accept it"

"Sure" her parents said simultaneously
Then she went to her room and flopped down on her bed.

Her thoughts are swirling around her train travel, a year before.

She felt so bad that she had to leave before him. She felt so bad that she didnt woke up him at that day. She felt bad that she didnt asked his number not even his name.

And she felt so bad that he didnt call her till now. He must not found the small note in which she wrote her number and puts under his bag on that day. She felt so bad.

May be it's not their destiny to meet each other. May be they are not made for each other. Otherwise she could find him on the hundreds of roads she walked to find him, lot of theatres, malls, restaurants anywhere but no she didn't found till now. She even look into the place wherever group of boys stands shamelessly.

And every train travel becomes her stress booster. Every time she travels in train she put her all hope in that travel. She hope every time that she will find him in that travel. But she fails to find him.

"You're wasting your time"
"Just forget him"
"Dont lose your good life because of that unknown person"
"Finding him is impossible... you dont even know his name"
"What you gonna do if he is married now"

She tired of hearing these dialogues from her friends. And she know they are telling the truth but her heart couldn't accept that.

She dont know if he likes her or not. But she is sure that she saw something in his eyes. Something unexplainable. That's what leads her to search him until now.

Now she is tired. Tired and confused. What she can do if he is in love with another girl or what can she do if he is married now? That's why she accepted her parents request to meet that person.

It will be good if I find him tomorrow, or....
