Train Encounter(Chap-2)

Train Encounter
Chapter 2
"A Month n a half ago.."

It all started when Shalini answered the 1st of its kind phone call about a month and a half ago.
It was just like any other call from an unknown no. untill she answered to the deep groovy voice on the other side of the reciever...

"Hello!"

"Hello Shalini!! I wont blame your anxiousness to know who I am. But trust me, I promise You not to let You know about it till we meet."

"Who are You?"

"Well There You go!! But as I said, thats a mystery.
For now I can only let You know that I am a person who want to gain aquintance with You."

"What the...Where did You get my no.?"

"Why? Isnt it posted on each and every mail accounts, and fourums and clubs you go...NOt to mention about the library!! Is it really hard to get your no.?"

For a moment Shalini felt a surge of anger rising from within, she felt like dropping the call at once. But she didn't, there was a strange mysticness in the voice, which was forcing her to talk to him.

"Why did You call me?

"Now that's a more intelligent question & I will certainly let You know that. Well, its a fact that you are going to Mumbai on 3rd day of July this year and you've been alloted the seat no. 43 in the coach S4"

"Is this some kind of joke?"

"Oh no its not!! Well I give you today's time to check your status and when you are sure... I'll Call You back."

Shalini was more than sure that the voice was exactly right. But how on the earth he knows all this!
That evening, Shalini got the call she was waiting since long...

"So... What You've Found out?" said the voice

"Look would you just simply tell me what you want? or should I take this matter in my Dad's concern."

"Oh baby!! Why troubling your dad every now and then. All I want is a little conversation before we head on to the long journey together"

"What freaking journey you're talking about?" Shalini couldnt stop it any more.

"Dont you know Shalini? We are going together...
well in case you dont know... I am your co-passenger!! My seat is 44 in the journey You are going to make on 3rd July." Said the voice.

Close Apart (Chapter-32)

Close Apart Chapter-32 “Shopping Day” Amrita took Komal for her wedding day shopping! Komal tried a lot to dodge Amrita but then she was not so resourceful when it came to denying someone. “Look, all my life I’ve been either studying or working, actually I didn’t get real time to dress-up or to party around. So I am what you’ll call a fashion disaster” confessed Amrita. “Don’t worry! I’ll Help You out! You won’t be a fashion disaster on your wedding day.” Komal smiled and replied. After sometime, Amrita was lining up in front of the trial room while holding few dazzling dresses. “I know the decision was a bit hasty, but after so many days without him, I don’t have the patience of staying away anymore! I know, you must be thinking that getting married in a registrar’s office is such a boring thing to do, but for me the companionship is much more important than a fancy wedding! And even Aditya seems to be quite supportive about this.” Amrita finished as she went in one of the trial room...
Close Apart Chapter-16 (Untitled) Aditya wasn’t at all recovering from his sad state of mind. He made numerous efforts to track down information about Amrita & her family, but nothing useful came up. Manish was concerned about his friend’s wellbeing, and so he called up Komal and cleared all the confusion that they were having. It was Sunday morning; Aditya got a call from Komal. “Hi!” “Hi…” “What are you doing today?” “You mean this afternoon?” “I meant now!” “Well, nothing actually!” “Then we can meet…” “Look Komal, I am actually not in a mood to…” “Moods, as they say, are made… and not imposed!” “That was exactly what I intended to remind you…” “Great! Then see you in half an hour at Pizza Hut!” “I guess I don’t have any choice…” Aditya knew he would have to get up from his bed and get ready if he wanted to be there on time, but he sulked. World has changed from what it used to be a few days earlier, and he didn’t feel a thing about it that’s left to live for… ******************...

Close Apart (Chapter-19)

Close Apart Chapter-19 “The British Council Mystery (Part-II)” “Komal you don’t have to do this!” “Trust me, I’ll have to. “ “O.K. listen, try to find out as much information as you can about the server they are using & about its network administrator Mr. Bakshi.” “Why him?” “Because only he has got the power to insert any virus or Trojan in the server & I had this feeling before that he’s up to something.” “O.K and I’ll see you in 2hrs or so…” “Right, note everything, take pictures if necessary and…” “and?” “Don’t run into unnecessary troubles!” “I won’t.” “Manish will drop you on his way…” “No, I’d prefer to take my Press car with me…” Watching Komal going away, Aditya had this strange feeling. He realized that she was going to risk her job to find out something for his defense; Aditya realized that something has creped into his self silently. So silently that he never even realized that it rested there. Rested just to remind his of its exist...
