Train Encounter(Chap-10)

Train Encounter
Chapter-10
Epilogue


"Truth is stranger than fiction"
I've heard this many a times from many of my friends, but never got a chance to verify it.
This July (I mean july2006) when I was on my way back to my college in Nagpur, I was struck for 6 hours at Tatanagar station, I didn't have the slightest idea that I'll get to face one of my life's most interesting moments.

Yes, dear reader!! What you just got through last 9 chapters actually happened to be my fellow co-passenger!!
I came to know about her problems when I had started chatting with her when I knew that she too was going in the same train.
She didn't want to tell this "weird" incident to me at first, thinking that I won't believe her, but then told at last.

I was awestruck when she told me that the person was going to meet her that very day!!
Well anyone can guess what amazement did I pass when the person turned out to be her Boyfriend!!
I just asked them if I could write about their incident. They agreed and so here I am!!

No Doubt I have modified a lot on the story part. I think as a writer I have that right. But if, dear reader, you are the person concerned here (I mean Shalini or Arun in real life) Then please let me know how much justice I have done to your story.
And dear reader, if don't have any idea who Shalini & Arun are in real life, then just let me know how much I have done justice in Story Writing...

The story(Train encounter) is very interesting. The accumulating suspense keeps the reader on tenterhooks. The ending was awaited with abated breath, and it does not disappoint the reader.
A few spelling mistakes may be overlooked in a hastily written blog story,but `come down' for `calm down' (in ch. 9) should not have happened

IT WAS REALLY A VERY SWEET STORY.
TRULY SPEAKING , AFTER GOING THROUGH 1ST 2 CHAPERS I UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS RELATED TO A TRUE STORY.
BUT THE WAY U PUT EVERY MINUTE EMOTION AT RIGHT TIME IN D RIGHT PLACE IS VERY APPRECIABLE.

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...
