Train Love

Chapter 8

Vinoth's POV

A whole year passed. But her thoughts didn't left my heart. I never try to erase her from my heart. Her image is still in my eyes.

My friends called me fool, stupid and more for not let her thoughts go. They always tell me to forget her. They say I'm wasting my time on someone I couldn't find.

The only soul who always supports me is my bestfriend from my childhood. He is the only one who knows everything about me. He always supports me in everything like now. He even searched her for me but we couldn't find her till now.

My mind always find a way to remember her whenever I travel in train. Even I tried hard to forget her for the sake of my family and friends, it never happened. Like now... I know, standing near the doors will cause my death. But if I sit inside, my legs will lead me to every compartment and my eyes will see every girl sit there. And then they will suspect me as a thief or a pervert and will make complaint to police like last time.

It's a shame when my friends came to police station because of me. When they helped me to get out from the police station, the first thing they asked for is to forget her and never traveling in train.

As like always, my heart told me to travel in train. If... if in case she is also travel in the same train, I will tell her how much I love her... how much I missed her... how I searched for her and everything.

At some point, my friends started to think that the girl I'm speaking about is just my imagination. They told that I made story about the girl. They even tried to take me to the psychologist. I couldn't prove them I'm saying truth.

But now... to prove my every words are right, that she is not my imagination, she is standing in front of me. She looking at me as astonished as me. I wonder if she really remember me now. She is too different from last time. She is too lean and she have dark circles too. I'll tell her to eat well from now on. I'm going to take care of her from now on.

After looking at each other for five minutes we came to earth again.

"H...Hi" I stumbled on my words and she is not in better situation too.

"Hello" she said.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I'm fine. And you? I didn't expect you will remember me"

"How can I forget... Huh... it was a memorable journey as I learned lot about books...even I started to read books... and I'm fine"

"I'm glad you remember and it's good to know you're fine" we both smiled. My heart jumping inside as she standing near me and looking at me. We both stayed silent for a minute.

"Your name?" We both laughed at how we asked it simultaneously.

"Pooja"

"Vinoth"

"How is life going?" She asked. I wanna tell her my life is in her hand. Without her I was live in a hell for a year. Just her mere presence take me to heaven. But words seems to stuck in my throat.

"Good. What about you?" She just nods.
"Are you going to your home?" I asked breaking the silence again she just nods.

"Enjoying holidays.. huh?" She smiled sadly and then some words left her mouth which made me standing like stone.

"For my engagement"

The words which tear my heart like a sword.

Why the hell I met her?

Why?

To know my love no more? To know she is someone else's?

I couldn't take those words. My eyes will sure gonna let out my pain in a form of tears. But that couldn't happen. She shouldn't know my feelings. I have to control my feelings.

"Con... congrats... When?"

"Day after tomorrow?"

"Great... who is that... that lucky man?"

"Ragunandhan"

My world stopped there. When I hear that name I couldn't think anything other than wish her to be happy life long.

"Happy for you... huhhh... Take care... I gonna sleep now... bye" I said.

Before hear her answer I left the place. I know it's not good to treat her like this. But if I stand there even one minute more I couldn't control myself and let out all my feelings.

It's too painful. Too painful to know the truth. It may better to be in my imaginary world. She is better to be my imagination. I can love her there but not now. Not after knowing that she is gonna get married... married to him.

For now... crying is the only thing I could do to reduce my pain. Reduce my pain in my heart. Its like someone drilled my heart.

Sometimes Imaginations are better than reality.
