A man in his mid twenties was going to meet his parents by train. He was so young and full of life. He was a simple small town guy who formed in a city for living.
He was studying a magazine when a beautiful, traditional young woman joined his coach and sat adjacent to him. She was a really pretty and rural beauty. She was all trimmed up like a village girl, had very long dark hair. She drew a pretty face with perfectly curved body and her characteristics were like totally an Indian beauty. She was a very attractive girl of 20 or 22, enough attractive to divert a brain of a young like Madhav, the main part of the tale.
Madhav being a young bachelor couldn't resist to look at her with the recess of his eyes and in return she gave him a fresh grin. She seemed a sweet small town girl. The journey was long and he was feeling very delighted to have a great company. He recalled his journey would be very delicious. He was hesitating to begin a conversation with her. After trying so much he spoke,
'So where are you headed to? I mean which village? Well, I am going to satpuram, it's my hometown, my parents live there and I am living in the city these days because I work in a factory.'
'I am also going satpuram' she replied in a soft voice and smiled.
'Satpuram? I have never seen you there? I am from satpuram, I mean satpuram is a very small village and its hard to forget faces after living there' He smiled hesitatingly.
'Well, I am going to meet my uncle, my mother's brother' she replied again with a smile.
'Oh, that's great' he smiled back.
He liked her that could be easily taken up just by picturing his expression. He was really happy that a beautiful woman accompanied him. He was a young bachelor and wanted to get hooked up with a girl like her, she was a rural beauty, perfect for him. He wanted to tattle to her more and more, he felt a strong attachment towards that young woman and whenever she smiled he felt more drawn towards her. They set about taking more friendly.
'So where your uncle lives in satpuram?'
'Um. . My uncle does not live exactly in satpuram he lives near satpuram in a solitary home, he is a farmer so he is near his fields, little separate from the village'
'Oh, well, I am also going to my village after many years, so might be I forgot about your uncle
When I got time I will surely get to see you and your uncle, if you don't mind me to visit you some time?'
'No.. It's okay, my uncle will be glad to see you, she smiled once more.
They kept talking and talking and in this whole conversation she smiled and Madhav felt hypnotized by her smile. He started liking her and thinking about marrying her when he got time he will ask his uncle to get hitched with her. She was a plain beauty who enchanted him with her beauty and spell.
They took tea from chaiwala, when the train stopped at a random station. Their destination was near from that station, so Madhav was feeling little bad because he wanted to spend more time with her. It was growing dark at once, when they started their journey it was evening and due to less effect of modernization and lack of electricity, there was quite dismal, making things less visible in the night.
Open and rural atmosphere was now met with darkness and the sounds of fox and owl making it spooky. Few signs of light could be seen at some points. If anything was visible in the darkness, only because of moon light. It was a full moon night. Satpuram was now near, Madhav was telling him about the city and the factory where he was working and the girl did not smile like before but less.
