HER
The
rain finally stopped, it is already 10’o clock that night. I am sitting on my
table waiting for her message. The room is silent except some sounds of the
night insects and frogs coming from outside from the garden.I unlocked my
mobile and tapped on the whatsapp icon and composed a message to her.
Me- good night……..
There is no
reply, I pressed the home button and tapped music icon and started to add my
favorite beats to a new playlist and saved them.
After some
time, I got up from the chair to go to sleep, suddenly my mobile vibrated. I
again sat on my chair and opened the message.
Her-hellooo……….
Me-are you coming tomorrow for the science festival held
in vizag city.
Her-yes ma, I’m coming with my friend.
My face
started to lit at once like a candle flame in a dark room. I took a deep breath
suppressing my happiness and sent my final message.
Me-meet you tomorrow, bye, good night.
Her-good night, sweet dreams…….
I kept my
mobile charging and went to sleep. I am so excited for tomorrow as I am going
to meet her for the first time outside. I am trying to sleep but I am not
getting sleep. I tried forcedly to sleep by closing my eyes, but all my trails
failed.
I got up and
took a glance at the clock, it is 11:45.
I slapped
myself saying
Me-go to sleep, tomorrow you must be at the railway station
by 6:00, and you are going to have a big day……. Go to sleep.
I took my
mobile and played some silent music in my head set to get some sleep, but again
failed to sleep.
I got up and
saw the clock, it is 12:15. I took off my head set, kept them aside, leaned on
my bed and closed my eyes and I slipped into sleep somehow.
At 5:00am I
got up at the very first tone of the alarm , I brushed my teeth and packed my
bag with my head set, laptop and my charging cable and took my bath. At sharp
5:45am I’m on the rain washed road walking towards the railway station which is
located a few foot steps ahead from my house.
The climate
is cloudy, chilled and this fresh morning walk made me feel pleasant and
inspired to have a good day today.
I am a boy of
21 years old pursuing engineering , who wanted to live life as I like, I always
like to be alone and feel happy in enjoying every pleasant moment in my life,
like enjoying today’s fresh morning . I like to be alone but sometimes I used
to feel to have someone, who understands me and who impress me. Finally, a girl
met me in social media, who impressed me a lot and she made me to think how life
would be with a person whom we like the most. She was the girl with whom i
chatted last night.
Finally I
reached the railway station and met my classmates and our professor and Madame;
I sat on bench mean while they are waiting for the girls to come. Today I just
came from home without having anything, just thinking this I got up and saw a
hotel in front of me. I took a step forward towards the hotel but I stopped
suddenly when I heard a familiar sweet voice from behind me.
No doubt, it
is her. Looks like she is talking to her friend. I didn’t turned back to look
her or to wish her, but I felt in my heart that she saw me by keenly observing
her voice. I can’t able to talk to a girl face to face or even can’t wish. So I
thought it is enough that at least she saw me and started to roam around the
railway platform.
The station
is empty; there were hardly 10 to 15 passengers on the platform waiting for the
passenger train. There is dust rising in air by the sweepers, cleaning the
platform floor. I felt hot vapors and pleasant smell of hot boiling tea with
elache fragrance. I went to that tea stall and finished a cup of tea.
Meanwhile a
local train entered into the station and stopped, our Madame after waiting for
some time, she said to our professor
Madame-sir, now you take these boys and leave to vizag, I
will come behind you taking all the girls for the next train as some of the
girls have not yet reached the station.
Hearing this
professor agreed with her and ordered all the boys to get into that local
train. I am slightly disappointed, but hoped that at least to travel with her
in the return journey. We, all boys boarded the train and the train swiftly
left the station and finally caught its speed and accelerated towards the
destination.
