Train Encounter
Chapter-1
"The Train Station"
"May I have Your Attention Please, 2859 Howrah-Mumbai Geetanjali Express, Which was expected to come at 17:16 hrs is Running late by 50 mins."
Shalini was waiting eagerly for the train to come. Sitting on an empty bench on the platform of Tatanagar, she could barely wait!! After travelling such a long distance from Asansol & waiting for more than 3 hrs, she was just on her edge of nerves.
"Maybe there's some problem with the signal" said her dad in a reassuring tone, "They have a single line problem every now and then."
Shalini was not interested in these things. She was in fact looking forward towads her admission in K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce. After her successful result in class 12 board exam she was very happy when she found herself in one of the colleges in Mumbai after councelling. Though that would mean that Mr.sharma has to pour in some extra money.
"Ring-Ring" Her cellphone jingled in her hands, "Who could it be?" she thought as she saw an unknown no. flashing on the screen.
"Hello!!"
"Hi Shalini! Remember me?" Replied the voice over the phone.
Suddenly a chill swept Shalini from top to bottom of her body.
"What are You doing here?" She hushed back to the reciever.
"Hadn't I told You that I'll Be with You wherever You go?" said the voice.
She just strolled away a few steps ahead of her dad just to ensure that they're not being overheard.
"This is not a joke anymore!! I can't believe this, You are here? now what is this? What do you want?" There was a bit of resent in her voice.
"It never was a joke Shalini.Not the day I 1st called You up, Not now..." said the voice.
