Train Encounter(Chap-3)

Train Encounter
Chapter-3
"And They Started Talking"


"What was that?"

"The Truth, Shalini. Wasn't it the thing you wanted to hear?"

"Now Look, I am not used to talking with boys and..."

"There you are!! Well I dont blame you. Its hard for almost anybody to start talking to someone so freely onthe first day of meeting, and still you cant see my point of calling you??" the voice on the other side had a sparkle in it.

"I...I couldn't get you!!"

"Lets take it this way, You board into a train, get your seat & start , doing nothing!! Although you can see lots of people around you for you to socialize but how could you?? Will it not create a bad impression to start at once?? So you waste a lot amount of time in just creating your ground before you actually start speaking!!"

"And..."

"And I hate waiting!! So on a welcome note, if we perform all the formalities now, then we can be going great when we actually meet!!"

Shalini Had a smile in her lips(a silent one although). She was kind of impressed by the way the voice showed confidance.

"Hello!! are You still there??"

Shalini sprang back to life to realize that she was still standind on the platform holding the cellphone to her ears.

"Look!! My Dad is here. And I dont want You To..."

"What did I promised you... Shalini? I wont meet you unless the train gets started..."

"Well isnt it all wierd? I am still thinking why am I talking to you?"

"There are a lot of things that happens which we dont understand.. so ... Dont think too much."

But Shalini was again down her memory lane by then...

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...
