He was panting as he stopped in front of the railway station inquiry counter, still wasting no time, he started to speak pointing towards a register on the desk , "Gau..." He took a moment's break to breath but as soon as he was starting to speak , a girl came running from behind and taking the other empty side of the same counter starting speaking, "Yahaan..." breathing in between she completed somehow, "Yahaan Se Sabse Door Ke station ki ticket Konse counter par milegi."
He had paused seeing her speak as he looked towards her from top to bottom , she was dressed in a blue bridal Lehenga ; Shadi Ka Joda , as she was herself panting heavily, he had recovered his breath by then but didn't speak since the man at the counter hadn't replied to her yet, he was himself staring at her dressing.
Finally, the man at the counter starting speaking, " Sorry Ma'am but I need to know the name of the station, I can't really understand where you want to go otherwise." She looked at him clearly making her irritation visible on her face as she thought for a while.
He had had enough of patience and so blasted after waiting for her to reply to the man at the counter for a while, "Can you please be faster, I was talking here first and then you jumped in , now atleast be fast for God's sake." Coming out of her trail of thoughts, she averted her eyes towards him, "Excuse me, Can you please just wait?" She questioned emphasising the last word, angrily.
Omkara wasn't going to buy this madness, "Oh really, you are telling me about waiting, you also could have waited when I was talking at the counter, Right?"
Ragini moved her eyes here and there as she realized she had been the wrong one here, "I am sorry, I was in a hurry so didn't notice you." She said owning up to her mistake.
"Ok, can you please just get done now so that I can start, even I am in a hurry." Omkara said understanding as Ragini nodded.
"Delhi Counter?" Ragini asked as she had thought her destination by now.
The man pointed at a counter far away, " Actually, the name of the station is written there, you can inquire about any small station in future ma'am." The man was sure irritated but Ragini failed to notice it, "Ok , thank you!" She walked off as Omkara looked at her going, then turning he was about to speak when he heard the counter man murmur, " Kaise Ladkiyan Hain, Apni Shadi se Bhaag Jati hai aur apne Parivaar ki Izzat ke bare mein Zara bhi Nahi Sochti."
" Apko Kya? App Apna Kam Kijiye na, Mujhe...Mujhe Batayi, Kal Raat se abhi Tak Kisi Gauri ne koi ticket book ki hai?"
The man looked at Omkara uninterested as he scanned through his register.
"Ba...Bareilly ke Pass Wale stations mein check kijiye." Omkara spoke desperately as he internally prayed the register doesn't has his Gauri's name.
"Bareilly Ke Paas to Nahi, Kal Raat 3:00 baje kisi Gauri naam ki Ladki ne Delhi ki ticket li thi." The man said after checking the register as Omkara looked at him confused, "Delhi, Gauri Delhi Kyun Gayi?" Omkara murmured to himself as recomposing himself he asked the man again, "Delhi station Ka counter Kahan Hai?"
The man gave him a 'look' as Omkara didn't notice it, "Boliye..." He said irritated as the man said pointing at a direction, "I just told that girl na, there." Omkara nodded as he instantly ran off towards that counter.

Omkara paced around two corners in front of the Delhi ticket counter in a deep thinking, "Gauri,Why you did this, if you had a problem, you could have told me...Why you just left me like that in the night, And Delhi? You went to Delhi just so that I don't realize where you are...but no, I won't let you go away from me, not this time, I'll come to Delhi for you, for my Gauri ,I have taken the ticket, I'll search you from whichever corner of the earth you are in..." Omkara was thinking as he took out a small folded piece of paper from his pocket, he was about to open it when a strong gush of wind blew, the paper flew from his hand as it moved with the wind, "Ga...Gauri..." Omkara ran behind the paper which flew with the wind, the wind had suddenly started blowing very fast, nonstop.
