I stood there, waiting for my train. And Grace. We both had got our degree and now we were off to a hurricane-struck area to help the affected people.

I kept looking at my watch, waiting for her. Like always she was late.

As I looked around myself, I got reminded of my solo trip two years back. I smiled at myself. I was proud for what the stunt I had pulled.

You might regret some of your decisions. But in long-run, you'll realise that they were probably for good.

That trip had taught me so much. I learned to be free. I became independent. I found myself in the world. I found home outside my home. I was no longer the sad and pessimistic Myra. I changed. But I changed for good.

He had changed me. He taught me the meaning of life in just some mere hours. He taught me to live for myself. Not for others.

He was the miracle I had been waiting for.

And I still do. Even after 24 months, I couldn't forget him. He was unforgettable. I kept reading about him online. I also read his book named 'The Traincident'. It was of me. No, it was of us.

We weren't meant for being forever. Yet, he made us forever by carving those words in the pages of our story.

His departing gift is something which will never die. It is eternal. And I couldn't help but fall in love with him. Again.

Certainly, life is unexpected. I never thought I would have found him on my journey. I never thought a stranger would place himself in my heart forever. But the truth is, he was never a stranger.

He was the writer, I fell in love with but this time he was real. Not a figment of my imagination.

I glanced at the time and I decided to call Grace, once again.

As I was pressing the numbers, I didn't realise I bumped into someone. When I looked up at the person, to apologise, I did not expect to see him.

The same brown eyes staring at mine. A playful smile playing on his lips. His face looked mature but reflected the same playfulness, it used to before.

I was too shocked to say anything. My mouth kept opening and closing.

"Damn, you definitely are not pregnant. But you've grown cuter, I see." He said.

His voice. Oh Lord, I missed his voice. His voice was still the same. Soothing and melodious.

My eyes were full of tears. Tears of joy. Tears of happiness. Finally, I smiled at him like I did, the first time in the train.

And with his enchanting smile he said, "Hey trainger."
