"Hello, Sahil have you reached there" Anupama asked happily, but breathlessly.

"Hmm....I am" She got the reply from other end, and she was perturbed by the voice came from other end as that was a feminine voice.

"Anupama why are you panting, sit down beta, take deep breath and calm down" voice from other end came, Anupama looked at the clock it was 2:30 am

"Who is this?" Anupama asked as she didn't recognize the voice

"Beta it's me chachi." she replied with a tensed voice. Anupama realised that she was chachi(Aashu's mother)

"Oh.. Chachi, is everything alright? I mean you are calling at this time and you're sounding tensed" Anupama asked to chachi

"Where is Sahil, Is he at home?" she asked to Anupama in cracking tone

"No, chachi he is not home, he must be in his way to bangalore, but chachi what happened why are you asking about him at this time?" Anupama replied and last part she asked anxiously

'Aashu she is saying that Sahil is in the way to bangalore' Anupama listen chachi, who was talking to Aashu who was there near his mother.

'What...., oh god..' Aashu almost yelled
Anupama listen their conversation but didn't get the reason behind their tension, she became anxious

"Chachi please tell me what happened, I'm feeling nervous" Anupama said, her heart was beating very fast.

"Bhabhi do you know from which train he had gone?" Aashu took the phone and asked in single breath

"Yeah, I know, He is travelling in Janta Express, but Aashu bhai please tell me, why are you asking all about Sahil" she asked Aashu in confussed and anxious voice

"Bhabhi we are coming, you turn on the TV and switch to news channel" He replied with crying tone

Anupama cut the phone and ran towards the TV, switching on it she turned to a news channel her hands was shivering. She watched the news which was playing on TV

'At this time we are near Banglore. This is very sorrowful news that the Janta Express which was travelling from Delhi to Rameswaram met to an horrendous accident, it slipped down from the track. Hundreds of people died and around Four Hundred of people are badly injured.Some people are still stucked inside, Rescuing teams are here to help accident victims but it's not that easy to find out people who are still stucked inside the train compartments.
This place is surrounded by the dense forest and due to insufficiency of light it is very difficult to do work. Injured people are taken to the nearby government hospital for their treatment. But most of the people died. The passengers who are still stucked inside are coming closer to their end with every passing second. We can just hope and pray for their lives.
According to the sources the accident was happened due to some technical issues and cracks in the railway track.......'

"Saah... Sa... hil" Anupama mumbled his name under breath and fell down on her knees in front of tv, the TV remote which she was holding in her hand slipped out. She lost her senses.
Her heart was sinking down to stomach,the thought of losing Sahil made her body started shivering with dread, from the ocean of her eyes oodles of tears jumped out. There was nothing but the darkness in front of her organ of sight. Her body became azoic, her knees on which she was sitting on the floor refused to held on her weight any more making her sat on floors.

Seema listening the TV voice and woke up from her slumber, she was amazed, that who could turned on the TV at this time. she went out of her room and found a figure sitting on the floor, wiping her glasses she wore it and recognised the figure as Anupama. She didn't pay attention on tv but on her daughter-in-law

"Anupama why are you sitting there" Seema anxiously asked her, but didn't get any answer.

"Anupama, I'm asking something" Seema said a little louder going closer to her, but again the same silence made her heart jumped inside her chest. Before she went closer to Anupama, the door bell ranged

"who could came at this time" Seema mumbled after looking at the clock which was showing 3 o'clock of night.

She took tiny steps towards the door but didn't open it as she was scared. There were no one in the home except Anupama, Seema and kids.
The door bell again rang for three four times.

"Kon hai" Seema asked in shivering voice as she was very scared
(Who is this)

"Badi mummy, its me Aashu, open the door" Seema took a relief breath and open the door.

She was alarmed by the surprised visit of Aashu with his parents. Aashu and his mother was crying and Aashu's father was standing holding tears in his eyes.

"You all at this time, and why are you crying...?" Seema asked Aashu and his parents, but no one had the guts to said the truth
"What is going on here, would somebody let me know?" Seema asked loudly but her tears rolled down from her cheeks witnessing everyone crying.

"Badi mummy, come with me...." Aashu held Seema's hand and moved towards the living room to made her sit on sofa

Seema's attention went to the tv where accident news was still flashing, first she didn't get it but after some seconds she understood something

" Aashu..., why are you crying?" she asked shocked and many tears escape from her eyes

"My Sa... hil....., is my Sahil fine" She asked him crying. Her heart forgot to beat for some time after listening about the accident.

"Don't worry he must be fine" Aashu's mother said while nodding her head and hugged Seema.

"Sahil.....my son!! Ohh... god save my son. Please help him." Seema pray for her son while crying loudly

"Badi mummy drink some water" Aashu pass her a glass of water which she refused to took, but he and his mother made Seema drank water after caressing her shoulder.

Aashu's gaze went on Anupama who was snivelling sitting on the floor like a lifeless body, he went closer to Anupama

"Bhabhi...., bhabhi please stop crying"
Aashu tried to made her off cry but her sensibilities to respond was gone.
Her ears were not listening any sound.

"Mummy, come here" Aashu summon his mother who was caressing Seema's shoulder. But it was impossible for her to leave Seema in that condition.

Aashu's father went closer to Anupama and put his hand on her head.

"Anupama beta, come on drink some water and stop crying" He said while patting her head. The fatherly voice and touch made Anupama force to drink water but still she wasn't in her senses.

"Beta stand up from here and sit there" Anupama came to her senses and found herself sitting down on floor

"Beta don't worry, Sahil must be fine" Aashu's father patted her head again

"Sahil..... " She mumbled under her breath without blinking eyes, tears were still flowing from her eyes nonstop and her gaze was still on floor.

"Bhabhi, Nothing will happen to Sahil. Please stop crying" Aashu's cracky voice hit her eardrums a little and she looked up to the source of voice without any reaction on her face. Her mind was absent and heard was beating fast.
She was still shivering with the fear of losing her loving ,and caring other half.

"Chachu, please bring Sahil back, please" Anupama snivelling requested Aashu's father in very slow voice, looking up at him a little. Which made him cry

"Don't worry beta he must be fine." he said while crying after patted her head again, but Anupama's tears were not stopping.

"Aashu come with me" Aashu's father said and he followed him after nodding his head, both went out of the house leaving the ladies crying and sobbing.
