“At The Train Station”
Aditya got a call next morning.
“Adi, could you please come to the station?”
“Now? I mean what happened?”
“Come here and I’ll explain it all, will you?”
“Ok Howrah, right? I’m reaching”
“I’ll be waiting…”
After a few minutes, Aditya was there at the station.
“Thanks for coming, only this morning I got a call from
mummy saying that she wants me to visit her really
soon.”
“Well that’s sooner enough!” said Aditya
“Now don’t starting brooding over it! I’ll be back very
soon”
“You better be… otherwise someone’s life’s going to be
really miserable…” Aditya held Amrita’s hand.
“I promise.”
“Now when’s your train? You got reservation?”
“Just got current reservation, the train’s in an hour.”
Said Amrita
“Eh… well I need to hurry up, I don’t have any more
leaves left, I’m sorry!!”
“It’s alright, rush to your work. I’ll be OK.” Said
Amrita & pushed Aditya forward.
“Take Care!”

“You’re late!” greeted Manish as soon as Aditya got in
the office.
“Mr. Arora wants to see you right now…”
“Now?”
“Well it was actually ten minutes ago…”
Aditya went in his Boss’s cabin.
“Sir you wanted to see me?”
“Oh Aditya you are just in time. Well, I have this
important appointment which I can’t miss, and I was
supposed to receive someone at the station, actually my
daughter Komal is coming home from New Delhi, in about
an hour…” Mr. Arora fished his wallet and took out a
small piece of paper. “Here are the details, take my car
& drive her straight to my apartment, and then you
report back as per your time. Will you do it for me?
Please…”
I guess Aditya had no option!!
So he was back to Howrah station. The first thing he did
was checking the stat of Rajdhani Express. He was left
with about half an hour before the train came. So he
rushed towards the platform where he left Amrita not so
long ago!
“In case you need something, I’m right here…”
“Aditya!! What are you doing here?”
“My boss sends me back!”
Aditya, are you lying in style?
“You know one thing… just when I was sitting here, all
alone. I was feeling like I was the loneliest girl in
this whole world… and then…”
“And then I got you. Amrita, please don’t refuse me
today if I ask you for a small favor… will you?”
“What?” was Amrita guessing something?
“You Know? When at least 45 more years would have
passed, when everything else around here would have
either changed or gone. I want to be the only person who
would come to accompany you at the train station… can
you grant that right to me?”
Either it was the tinge of her smile or the light
scattering through the teardrops that let Aditya know
that she would possibly don’t mind doing this favor.
