Girl On The Train

THE TRAIN THAT LEFT BEFORE TIME

I have heard people saying, "Whatever happens to us,happens for our own good will" .  Well, we don't know whether it's true or not but if we talk in context of a nose which is fractured I don't think that's not a good thing happened to Arpita. In fact who could have ever thought that while eating 'Paneer chilli'  such a thing can happen to someone . As of now, her freind  Rupali was  so much angry that she can literally slap someone pretty hard enough. From the basket ball ground, a tall , long haired,handsome and almost physically fit guy approached her asking for the ball. As he saw Arpita laying down on the ground with a severe fractured nose,he immediately apologized but  before rupali could physically slap him, he took her in his arms  and got her to hospital. He paid all the bills,surgery was done and a bed rest for a week or two was advised by the surgeon. Meanwhile her parents were looking at him with a mix feeling of anger ,frustration and thankfulness. It was around
12 p.m. in night when Arpita got bored so much she started roaming and running around with a nose on which just a few hours ago surgical procedures had been implemented. The nurses were trying to calm her down saying," please mam ,take a rest and don't run it can complicate the situation if your nose injury and fixation that has been done " . Her parents were telling her the same thing but nothing's working for her. Just then entered the boy who broke her nose with that throw, he was carrying  the food that he had made in home for her parents.
In a quieter yet calm voice he said," uncle-aunty ,please have something to eat,it's been four hours since you have eaten something" .
It was for the first time he had spoken something to them but to his surprise he got stressed and looked ahead to see their daughter running and playing like a kid. He smiled for a few  seconds just looking at her and then he asked the doctor to have his coat for five mins. He agreed to this and wearing the same coat he went inside her room. He took the patient register and stopped her. In a very deep and serious voice he said,"Miss Arpita,are you aware of the news that if any damage happens to your nose this moment,we have to cut your entire nose from your face" .
She  goes to sleep without asking any questions . When he came her father was impressed and asked "how did you managed to make her go to bed?" .
On hearing this question,he gave a smile and walked away. While walking ,her parents out of curiosity asked his name. The surgeon came and told them,his name was 'abhisek". Two weeks went by but after that one day,he never visited her neither met her parents.
Two weeks later,Arpita met rupali in college and her first question was,how did my nose broke ? Like i don't remember at all. She was just saying she was interrupted by a boy,she turned around to look at him.
The boy handed her a note in which there was a sorry written on it and  left . She asked everyone about the person who told the boy to give it to him but he leaves without telling anything. However, she forgets what happened with her and when she enters classroom, everyone looked at her with an eyesight filled with jealousy. She didn't understood what was going on there.  However ,after first lecture the professor came and told her,the painting at the exhibition that was made by her was chosen for final round where national level artist are going to be the judge. A feeling of happiness and excitement filled her but somehow she felt that  all the class gave her a jealous look that made her uncomfortable. The professor further continued you'll  have to leave day after tommorow ,be prepared for it and left . When she reached home,she called the surgeon for appointment and told him the scenario. He agreed for an early appointment and she slept happily that night.
The day came,she went for checkup but somehow  tyre of her scooter got punctured. She couldn't blame anyone as it was very early in the morning and there was no one nearby she knew where it can be repaired. She calls her father and it took  them an hour to find shop. When she reached  home she realises that her train is in two hours . Her home was very far from railway station it normally takes  three hours on a normal day to reach there. However,she takes her scooter and rides it in  speedy manner  to reach there on time.  Sadly,she gets late by five minutes in reaching the platform but to her suprise ,somebody pulls the chain and train stops . From a coach, a guy signals to come quickly. She boards the train and to her surprise,she founds out her ticket got cancelled ,her hotel which she booked got cancelled and the  food she had ordered to be on time also got cancelled. She started panicking and crying when suddenly came ticket collector asking for it. To her surprise, a guy came paying some extra money to ticket collector for alloting her a birth ,which he did and she was shifted there.
This was the same guy she met somewhere but she wasn't getting the details however on not getting  after putting too much load on her mind ,she didn't insist on forcing it any more. She looked at him and thanked him and they both introduced each other . She goes  to alloted birth and the train travel for her begins with peace finally. However ,in the amidst of midnight,there was a very wierd noise coming from her nearby  birth. Suddenly,a light get flashed on her face and she screams, aaah!
