One Night @ S6

It was 9 in the evening and I was @ the Bangalore Railway Station waiting for the Hampi Express train to arrive. I was quite bored as I was all alone and did not have any journey partner. To beat up the boredom, I started calling my friends. Then suddenly my friend arrived in front of me and said Heyyyyyyy.. Eno Illi(How come here dude???). I told him that I am going to my hometown. He too said that he is on his way to Bellary. At last, felt a bit relieved that I have a company to travel. The train arrived on the 9th platform and we departed saying that we would try to relocate to one compartment.
I was moving towards the train reservation chart; suddenly my eyes were distracted by a girl who was walking on the platform wearing a skirt. I was quite surprised to see a girl wearing a skirt at the railway station. She had short hairs and looked very pretty in her skirt and T-shirt. For a moment, seeing her laptop bag, I felt she must have been a HR in some big MNC. I saw her again and again while she was looking at the reservation chart. Felt so good looking at someone who was just so stunning. I must admit, by far she is the most stunning girl that I have seen till date. Later I felt a bit sad that I might not see her again. I just made up my mind that I should see her again in the train during the course of journey and boarded.
While I was looking through the window from my seat (U16 in S6 compartment), I got a call from my friend. In the middle of the call, I heard a very sweet voice ‘Excuse Me’. I just raised my head and could not believe my eyes, it was the same girl in skirt whom I had seen outside the train. I said ‘yes’. She asked me if it is ok to keep her bag on my seat as I was sitting down. I said ‘Ok’ and got down from the train to speak on the phone as it was very noisy inside. After the call, I came back to my seat and sat in front of that gorgeous girl in skirt. I could not have asked for a better seat to sit. We were seated facing each other on the right side of the S6 compartment, which had only 2 seats. I took a deep breadth and looked at her cute face again and turned my face towards the window.
For a moment I felt I was just dreaming. I started thinking how to start the conversation. I was making up my mind to not to end up spoiling my image by speaking something stupid in the beginning. So I waited waited… She got a call from her friend and she spoke a mix of English and Telugu. Oh god! She had such amazing spoken English. I don’t know why English sounds so pleasant and sweet in pretty girl’s voice.
I started off the conversation after she hanged her call…
‘Going to Hospet?’ I asked.
She said, ‘No. Bellary’.
I felt quite happy that I will be able to travel nearly 10 hours with that stunning girl. But I was thinking that she might go to bed early and I ll have to go up to sleep . To keep the conversation going I started …
So you work in Bangalore?
No. I study.
What do you study?
Electrical & Engineering in Engg College.
Oh wow! That’s nice. Seeing you @ the railway station for the first time, I felt you are a project manager (felt I was quite stupid to call someone who is so young and cute girl a PM).
She gave a gorgeous smile and asked me ‘What made u think so?’
I said ‘lappy bag’.
She smiled and said ‘Ya it is a laptop… but m not a PM...’
I also smiled feeling stupid for myself…
‘What do you do?’ She asked.
I said, ‘I am a software engineer’
She replied ‘Oh! Black and white life’
‘Why so?’ I asked
She said,’24/7 sitting in front of the comp and hitting the key board. Completely black and white life. No fun. ‘
I said ‘We do have fun. We go out for outings, movies and parties…’ But I also felt somewhat like black and white life only… we do not have fun like the way we is to have in college…
I asked her if she is interested in becoming software engineer.
She replied ‘I don’t want any black and white life… ‘
Felt a bit sad hearing her reply but just smiled to make up for that sadness.Felt that this girl is quite casual in her life…
Whatz u r future plan? I asked. Felt stupid asking this question as the question never suited the conversation that we were having.
She said, ‘I ll never get into IT field. I want to get into core E&E industry. I actually like Mech but usually no girl goes into Mech, so I choose E & E.’
By now we were quite comfortable talking to each other. She received a SMS and started laughing after reading it.
I asked ‘whatz the matter?’
She said, ‘My friend is asking me to take care while travelling and not to talk to strangers on the way.’
I smiled and said, ‘you have very caring friends… ‘
She replied, ‘Ya. I have very sweet and caring friends. My previous roommate is to wake me up by singing and playing guitar.’
She searched for the audio which her friend is to sing to wake her up, but could not find it. She said ‘Next time I will show you. The song goes like this... Wake Up Wake up…’
I just smiled looking at her cute face again.
She asked about my friends.
I said ‘I have very good friends circle in the office. I pull my friend’s leg so badly to such an extent that they are waiting for a chance to kill me.’
I started narrating one of the incidents that happened to me in my office.
‘It so happened that once my PM got pissed off with my PJs and asked all my team mates as to, who all want to kill Krishna, raise your hands?’
Everyone in the team raised their hands except one girl. I felt so happy looking at that girl.
My PM asked her ‘why don’t you want to kill him?’
She replied ‘I want to kill him by cracking worst of the worst PJs, torture him badly and kill him’. Everyone burst into laughter hearing her.
Train girl had an addictive, infectious smile. I felt like cracking some more PJs just to see her smiling. In the beginning, I had to explain her what the PJ meant and is to enact the action of tube light blinking. She is to smile looking at that action. Later, once she started understanding the PJs, she also started doing that action. It was so good watch her doing that and laughing at it… I was just completely fida over her cute smile.
She asked me if I had any friends from her place.
I said, ‘yes, there is a guy who is also traveling in the same train. We met before the train arrived and departed saying that we will try and shift to the same compartment.’
She said, ‘Ohh!!!! If you want I will go to his place and u can call him here.’
I was like oh nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why the hell did I tell her this?
I said. ‘It is quite late now. He must be sleeping by now or else he would have given me a call… ‘
She also said ‘oh ya…’
I said to myself, ‘Thanks god, she will be here till morning’
We then changed the topic to music;
She then said, ‘I like English songs so much.’
I felt, oh god!!!! I don’t understand why most of the cute girls like English songs only. I felt it was a bit tough to handle the situation as I was not that much into English music. She started playing a song from her cell phone and passed on her cell and asked me to listen to the song. ‘It’s so good’ she said.
I heard the song and could not understand the lyrics itself. I could only make out that it was a female voice. I said her, ‘lovely song… singer has an amazing voice. I always felt that English sounds very good in cute girl’s voice.’
She asked me ‘what type of music do you like? ‘
I said ‘Linkin Park In the end song.’ That was the only song which I had heard so many times and could remember the band name. ‘I usually listen to AR Rehman songs…’
Then the topic shifted to movies.
She asked me ‘which is the latest movie that u watched?’
I replied ‘Dark Knight, awesome movie and superb acting by the Joker.’
She said, ‘I had just started watching the movie and got bored in the beginning itself, so didn’t watch it fully. I have that movie in my laptop’. She then opened her laptop. Oh god it looked so good. Sony VAIO first lappy that I have seen till date.
She started speaking… ‘I love my laptop. I have all my friends’ pics.’ She opened her laptop and showed the list of movies that she had. She said ‘We will watch a movie once we are done with talking…’
She started showing her pics collection. She had an amazing collection of pics. Looking at the pics collection I felt that she also has a soft side which makes her much more interesting girl than I had thought. I told her that, ‘after seeing these pics my impression has changed on you.’ She just gave me a cute smile.
It was 3:00 AM and we were still chatting. Her luggage was still there on my seat. We had joined both the seats to make a single berth so that we could sit comfortably. we were seated facing opposite to each other on the same berth.
The train stopped at a station and there was a crossing…
I said, ‘come letz get down from the train…‘
We both got down from the train and started walking on the platform. It feels so good walking in the cold breeze with such a cute and stunning girl in skirt along with you. She saw a TV hanging there in the station and started jumping upwards to touch the TV. I dint know what to do…
I asked her to stop it as the people in the train are watching us only.
She then suddenly stopped and we got back to our seat in the train.
She asked ‘Are you going to sleep now?’
I got puzzled listening to her question. I could not understand the reason behind her question and I dint know what to answer her.
I said ‘M not feeling sleepy, you can sleep if you want, I ll go back to my berth’.
She said “Even m not feeling sleepy’…
Felt so nice hearing this. But she saw a small girl struggling to sleep in the same berth along with her mom. She said to that little girl to sleep in my berth where the luggage was kept. I seriously felt she is such a sweet girl. My impression on that girl changed completely. She was such a sweet, caring, cute, stunning, pretty and gorgeous… oh god! I can’t stop praising her. She truly remains my dream girl
It was 4-30 AM and I was feeling very sleepy. The train again stopped for a crossing. I wanted to have tea badly to get rid of the sleep. I asked her if she would like to have tea. She said she does not drink and she asked me also to not to drink T. I felt like giving up drinking T in my life. But I wanted 2 stay awake at any cost that night. So I had 2 have T.
I said ‘last time I ll drink T and after that I won’t.’ I seriously feel it is guy’s weakness. They are ready to give up anything when a girl says.
I got down from the train and stood in front of her and started talking to her through the window. I heard someone shouting ‘Chai Chai’. I got a cup of tea and started chatting again with her through the window.
Suddenly she asked me to turn back fast.
I asked her ‘why?’
She said ‘cute girl walking behind you… ‘
I said, ‘When there is girl like you sitting in front of me, how my eyes can get distracted towards another girl? ‘. I guess I was honest and she gave that gorgeous smile again.
I boarded the train and sat again next to her. I still could not control my sleep. I just slided a bit resting my head on the window. She realized that I was feeling sleepy. She asked me to sleep.
I said, ‘how can I sleep leaving you awake alone‘.
She started saying. ‘m feeling bad now. U r not sleeping just coz of me ‘
It was getting a bit cold.
She said ‘K, I ll also sleep’. She took out a bed sheet from her luggage and asked me if I had a bed sheet to cover myself.
I said ‘No’
She asked ‘We can share the bed sheet’.
I said ‘no no… m fine ‘. Felt a bit hesitated to say yes. But she had such pure thoughts. It was very nice and sweet concern of her. We both just sat there in the same berth with our legs stretched.
It was 5:50AM. I was thinking that her stop would come in another 30 mins. I was feeling bit sad. Thought of asking for her contact number, but my cell battery was dead and it was switched off. I was like ‘oh no!!!!….. Bad luck…’.
Her station arrived and to my surprise she asked me for my cell phone… I said no battery… she then asked me to give my number. She stored the number in her cell and said ‘I ll message u‘and got down from the train. After getting down from the train, she stood next to me near my window and smiled.
I said ‘It was a wonderful journey’
She also said ‘ Ya it was’
We shook our hands and said bye… I was really feeling so sad… I was just praying that she would have noted down my number correctly.
I had a last look at that gorgeous, cute and stunning girl in skirt. I was feeling like I was dreaming all alone till now… but it was true… it had happened…
She was truly like an angel in my dream that night.
It remains the most memorable journey that I have ever had till date…
