Prologue

Gurupreet was still in deep sleep. But my sleep was

gone forever. I thought to wake her up. But I didn’t.

I didn’t want her chapter in my life. I decided to

keep our friendship till this stage only. I was

constantly looking at her. Her innocent sleeping

face was not letting me go. I promised her, that I’ll

wake her up. But doing this will continue our

friendship further and I don’t want that. But how

can I cheat her. I just had two minutes to make a

life changing decision. My one step will bring her

closer to me and the other will break our contact

forever. My mind was jumbling between these two

thoughts and her beauty was adding more

confusion. My blood turned cold and heart filled

with emotions.

“Hey Bhai Wake up, it‟s late” Said Akash

“What happened yaar, let me sleep” I Said

“Arre its 10:30 am aur 12:30 ko teri train hai”

Said Akash

“What?” I Said

I forgot that I have to go today. I finished my

2nd semester university exams and I am going

home today, after a long time. I was quite happy.

Somehow I managed to get up from bed and started

packing my bags, as I was unable to pack it last

night due to the sickness.

I was happy but not much excited going home.

Nowadays I have lost interest in everything because

of her. Losing her was the most unwanted thing for

me.

I was thinking all these and suddenly my phone

rang, it was Dad‟s call

“Good morning Dad” I Said

“Good morning Beta, Are you going to station

or not it is late by now” Dad said

“Yes Dad I have packed the bags and leaving

now.”I Said

I hung up the phone, took my bags, said

goodbye to everyone and left. I had my breakfast in

food court in college campus. Describing about the

college it is „THE SANJAY GHODAWAT

INSTITUTES‟. The most beautiful and the best

college I have ever seen. Well experienced teaching

faculty, 150 acres of green campus with well built

infrastructure and almost each and every

educational course availability. I am studying

Mechanical Engineering here.

I hired a cab from college to Kolhapur railway

station. As soon as I reached station I saw the train

was boarded on platform and I approached towards

it. It was the 11404 Kolhapur – Nagpur Express, the

train which was going to take me to my hometown

Washim. I started towards my coach B1 where my

ticket was reserved. I got to my seat and kept my

luggage. Soon the train started the journey. I put on

my headphones and started listening songs and

viewing the scenes outside the window and thinking

about old memories.

Soon the train arrived at Miraj Station, as it was

a major junction and train was going to halt here for

20 minutes, I got down from the train and took

some snacks and water bottle as I forgot to bring the

water from college. It was month of May and

unexpectedly the weather became stormy. The sky

was covered with dark clouds and it was the sign of

a great stormy rain. Cool wind was flowing with a

great speed resulting into the dusty atmosphere. The

vendors on the platform were busy in packing their

goods. Somehow I managed to keep my eyes safe

from the dust and headed towards the coach. The

station was full of hustle-bustle with the noises of

Railway engines, Announcements and the voices of

overcrowded peoples. Suddenly the rain started to

fall and the fragrance of soil after first rain was

incredible. It gave me the memories of childhood

when me and my Aishu used to get on the roads in

the first rain of the season.

As I was moving towards my coach, I saw a

beautiful girl coming towards the same coach. She

was struggling with her luggage and the stormy

winds were making her problems more

complicated. Her personality was mind blowing.

She was almost about 5‟07‟‟ of height and she was

damn pretty. She was looking awesome in her blue

and pink salwar-kameez, I guess she was Punjabi.

Her cute face, her short height and the curly hairs

were driving me crazy. She was repeatedly taking

her open hairs behind her ears as they were coming

on her vibrant face. She came near the door and

started searching her name on reservation list. I

wish she should get the seat just in front of me.

I entered the train and sat on my seat while

drinking water. Soon she entered the coach and

slowly started arriving towards me and my heart

began beating faster. She came near me and said,

„‟hii, which seat?” She repeated again. I was

listening it but my mind was lost in her beautiful

personality and simplicity. She said again, “hello I

am asking you something??” Her voice and her

expressions were similar to my love and took me

back to old days.

I regained my senses and said „‟ mine is no.

16.”

She smiled and said, “ohh, mine is no. 15.”

I smiled back.

“Where are you going?” She asked

“Washim and you?” I said

“Nagpur” She said instantly

I smiled again. (These days I grew a habit of

giving fake smile)

She kept her luggage below the seat and sat in

front of me. I was constantly staring her, she was

similar to my better half. At some moments she

caught me staring but somehow I managed to take

off my eyes from her. She was much alike my

Aishu, just like her gurupreet also used to get happy

over little things.

The train started its journey again. I started

looking outside. She was reading a love novel and

sometimes I noticed that she was also gazing me

from the corner of her eyes.

After a long time she closed the book and she

moved her hand for handshake and said, “Hii, I am

Gurupreet Singh.”

Suddenly my heart bounced in joy, because my

guessing was correct she was a Punjabi girl.

“Hi, I‟m Saikumar Deshmukh” I said.

“You are from Washim, I guess. So what

brought you here in Kolhapur?” she started the

conversion

“I study Mechanical Engineering here.” I Said

She made a strange face by hearing my words.

“What happened?” I Asked

“Nothing” She said “So you are an Engineer

and that too mechanical.”

“Hmm yes! Why any problem?” I asked

“No nothing.” She said

“Ok, so for what purpose you are going to

Nagpur?” I asked

“Nagpur is my hometown and I study in

Sangli.” She said

“So what are you studying in Sangli?” I Asked

“Fashion Designing” She said

“Ohh that sounds interesting.” I Said

I tried to ignore her as I wasn‟t interested in

talking with her because she was forcing me to

recall my old memories. But she was unstoppable.

She was a talkative girl and I was a silent guy.

Some moments passed and she was quite. The

train was moving towards its destination and I was

seeing outside the window and she was busy in her

stuff.

After some time she turned to me again and

said, “If you don‟t mind, can I ask you a question?”

“Yes, please” I said

“Is there anything wrong with you?” she said

“No, but why do you think so?” I asked.

“I have seen many boys who are mad after me

and try to find some reason just to talk with me. But

you are totally different. That amazed me” she said

“Look, I‟m really not interested in you and I

don‟t care what you think about me. There is

nothing wrong with me” I said arrogantly

“No, but you look a little sad and devdas type”

She said softly, avoiding the eye contact with me.

“No nothing like that.” I said and gave a fake

smile. Inside I was thinking that do I really look like

devdas.

“C‟mon” She said “May be I can help you in

your problem.”

“No you can‟t and why are you so willing to

solve my problems.” I said

“Yes definitely I can help you and I am like a

superman and I like to help people who are in

problem.” She said

She further added, “C‟mon don‟t you consider

me as your friend and I am completely stranger, so

you won‟t mind sharing your secrets with me.”

“So you won‟t keep quite.” I asked

“Yes sir, I won‟t and trust me your things will

be safe with me.” She said smilingly

Her cute and smiling face made me trust over

her and I thought for a while that she was a

complete stranger and I don‟t know whether I will

meet her after this or not. I really won‟t mind

sharing the past with her and it will help me

betterment of my mood.

So I decided to tell her everything.

“Okay then, so you want to listen what

happened in my life?” I asked

“Yes I do.” She said curiously
