03. Super slow express!!

**DISHAN'S POV**

It's now 7 pm, and the outside view is no longer visible. The seat opposite me is empty. With calm music playing in my earphones, I lay down on my seat.

I wake up and see a woman and a girl sitting by the window. The woman has her head resting on the window pane. The girl seems familiar. I look at her carefully but can't recognize her. I have seen her somewhere, but I meet so many people that she could be one of them.

She is completely focused on her mobile screen. Then an uncle boards the train and tells me that's his seat. So, I wake up and sit. I open my bag, take out some snacks, and start munching them while listening to music.

At around 8 pm, a man comes to take my food order. I ask for 'egg biryani.' Then I hear the girl ordering 'veg pulao' for them. Her voice sounds familiar.

After what seems like an eternity, my food arrives, and I quickly start eating. The uncle and the others also start eating.

After that, the uncle goes to sleep on his upper seat. Meanwhile, the passengers on the neighboring seats also arrive. The girl helps them tuck in the middle seats.

I put on my jacket as it's cold outside. I switch off the light on my side and lay down. Sleep is far away, so I just scroll through Instagram.

There are so many messages for me. People know me as a YouTube vlogger and as the son of Hemant Goenka. I reply to some genuine messages and some appreciation messages. Then I put my mobile away.

I turn to the other side and see the girl taking medicine. Then both the mother-daughter duo take shawls from their bag and lay down. The girl tightly clutches the shawl to her stomach. They turn off the light and sleep.

I also turn around and try to sleep. When I drifted off, I don't remember. I wake up and see the time—it’s only midnight now, and the train has halted. It’s not a station, but probably a signal. I hear someone saying that the train has been stopped here for the past hour.

I open my train tracker app and see that the train is already delayed by an hour. Then I go back to sleep. It's now 3 am, and the train still hasn’t moved. It has stopped at one of the stations, and the app shows it’s 2 hours late.

I turn around and see the girl also looking out the window. She’s looking at her mobile and frowning. Maybe she is also checking the delay time. I observe her quietly. After 5 minutes, she lays down and covers herself fully with her shawl. She is so funny. I also turn to the other side and sleep.

**RADHYA'S POV**

I am hungry, and our food has still not arrived. It's already been half an hour since I gave the order. I look here and there to see if the food has arrived. An uncle boards the train and sits opposite that man. He was sleeping when the uncle woke him up.

Finally, our food arrives, and we both start eating. The train has halted now. We finish eating, and then the passengers on the seat next to us arrive. They are an old couple. So, I help them tuck in the seats. I learned that from my papa.

Then they climb to sleep on the middle seats. I switch off the light, open my bag, and take my medicines. Medicines... for... I won't tell you all 😅. My stomach starts hurting. I remove the shawls from the bag, hand one to Maa, and take another for myself.

I clutch my stomach tightly as it’s hurting badly, and then I go to sleep. My sleep is broken when I hear the sound of people talking. The train is already 2 hours late. What? I get up and see the train has halted at one of the stations. I open my mobile and check the time—it’s midnight. Yes, this train is already late.

What an irony! This train’s name is Superfast, but it’s very, very slow. It’s 2 hours late, and why have they named it Superfast then? It should be the Super Slow Express.

I cover myself fully with the shawl and sleep, thinking if I were in charge of naming the train, I would have changed it to Super Slow Express.
