Train Encounter(Chap-1)


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.

The Way Beyond (Prologue)

I woke up!  It was dark, tried opening  my eyes, didn't do much help. As if I was inside a void with only darkness around me .  I opened my eyes and the darkness flooded in! I tried remembering where I was, tried remembering something that  could explain why I am here, all in vain. My head hurt and I couldn't recall  anything. It felt like the time has collapsed on itself and now there is nothing else, well except for this dark void.  They say your lizard brain wakes up in these situations. From the depths of your consciousness, and attempts to guide your instincts to safety. I see something now! Maybe my eyes have finally adjusted themselves to this darkness. Something familiar comes into my vision, laying in front of me. A leather spined book on top of a towel, an old leather bound book. I looked around, I was sitting in the shade of a tree. Can you still call it a shade when there is nothing but darkness around? Like if a tree falls in...

Close Apart (Chapter-2)

Close Apart Chapter – 2 “They meet…” “British Council, 5:00 pm, Hmm” The reason Aditya was thinking so much that day, because meeting Amrita at 5’o clock would mean that he would have to leave his office half an hour ago than his usual time. And that would mean that he’ll have to take this matter to his manager’s concern. “At 5:00!! What for? “ “Actually I have an appointment… with my… Dentist.” God knows why Dentists get involved in these appointments!! So, there he was! Out of his office, half an hour earlier than usual.Aditya was feeling a little uneasy. Actually he was never comfortable with girls. An issue which was of a major concern for his fellow colleagues. Many a times his friends have arranged blind dates for him, but all in vain!! But this time it is little different. Anyone who had known Aditya would have gone through a major shock viewing him talk to a girl, but Aditya knew he had a header here. Actually, Amrita was in the same class, in which Aditya used to study… “So yo...

Close Apart (Chapter-8)

Close Apart Chapter-8 “Here She Comes…” Still coping with the pain of leaving his ‘lady love’ for the rest of the week, Aditya dragged himself towards the platform where Rajdhani Express was about to arrive. Komal was coming in the couch AS2. So when the train arrived Aditya went near the coach and waited for her to pop out. A few moments later a young girl came out. Aditya had some genuine doubts about her being Mr. Arora’s daughter, he never thought that his daughter could inherit such beauty, but when he saw that she was actually giving a feel of looking for someone, Aditya approached. “Excuse Me, Miss Komal Arora?” “Yeah!?” “Aditya here, Actually Mr. Arora had an important appointment so…” “But Dad Said that he’ll be here!!” “It was a last minute change!!” “Look! I don’t need this…” “Excuse me?” “I mean I don’t need anyone to receive me at the station and escort me to my home!! I am old enough to handle these things.” “I can understand…” “No you can’t! So just show me where the car...
