Train Encounter
Chapter-6
"What!! He's on the Radio!!"
Shalini went back home and helped herself with some food. She was really starving! Then she sneaked into her room & closed the door behind her.
She switched off all the lights and sat down at her favourite place, laying her back against the cupboard.
She used this place as her very own place in this vast universe. A place where she could think about anything and everything. A place where she was really free to do whatever she wanted.
Shalini thought about all those times when she used to settle there in between her board exam studies for sometimes, to ponder about her day so far in general & life ahead in particular.
Shalini recalled how she had sat there for hours talking with Arun, who on the other side kept on insisting that the talk is getting too long.
He was ignorent of the fact that Simple chats over phone are more romantic than long strolls in silent streets. Arun was always this 'Silent Lover' tag.
Shalini always had this feeling that she would never know how much Arun loves her...
After dinner it was the time to go to bed. Shalini always went to bed at 10:00pm & always did the same thing.
Turning on her FM radio to catch the nite special request program.
The songs that it played, along with the true emotions which the listeners dedicated songs to their loved ones... it made her night an memorable journey.
"Hello & welcome to 93.5 red FM. U are tuned in to Nite Slot...."
Shalini sank in the wonderful world of music that followed.She couldn't possibly remember when did she fall asleep but all of a sudden something sturtled her out of her sweet dreams.
"Well I would like to dedicate a song..."
"What!! He's on the Radio!!" gasped Shalini. She could have never thought that the person would go to such an extent.
"May I know who is calling?"
"I am sorry, I'd like to remain anonymous, I know very well that my voice is enough for her to recognise me....Isn't it Shalini?"
A chill ran down through her spine, she always dreamt of an FM song dedication on her name... But she had never thought that it would come that way!!
"So how is she related to You?"
"Actually I dont know... is it her name, or the way she speaks over the phone, or the silly mistakes that she does, everytime I feel that I'm somehow related to her... I am still struggling to find that out but I know, she can help me out!!"
"Of course she would, my friend!! Now which song You want to dedicate to Shalini?"
"Its a soul-song from the film 'Mann'. It goes like--Kyo Chupate ho Mann Ki Baat"
Shalini could literally hear her heart pounding as she listened to one of the most favourite songs she can ever imagine of !!
A silent tear fell down her cheek unnoticedly as the radio played...
"Kyo chupate ho mann ki baat
Keh bhi do beeti jaye raat
Duriyan Kisliye...
De do haathon mein haath...."
