From TUNDLA to JHINJHAK: An incomplete story


From TUNDLA to JHINJHAK: An incomplete story


Train journeys have been an part of every Citizen. Here stranger people bonded quickly over 'Chai and Pakoras' in a railway coach.

This story is about some unusual 'ankhon hi ankhon me ishare', I had observed. and since then I have been waiting to write this story.                                                                               Yatrigan, Please pay attention, Ek train wali love story is about to start it's journey. It was around 7:00 AM. I was pacing on platform at the railway station. It was morning and people were having' Chai-Pakoras'.

'May I have your attention please' announcement made some of them stop, listen, and set about finding their platforms to reach before the train left. I had to catch Gomti Express. It runs from New Delhi to UP's capital Lucknow.
The train arrived at 7:15 AM at 'Tundla Junction'. I had to sit in the general coach. After some scrimmage I got a seat to sit. As a general coach, it was usually crowded. People were entering and exiting. Meanwhile a beautiful girl pushed aside a few man, steps into the compartment with her father.    All of a sudden my eyes went to her face. She and her father were looking for a seat. Luckily she came and sat in front of me. I started looking outside the window. She was keeping her bag and luggage. Engrossed in her work she looked so cute. But I was feeling little uncomfortable so I started surfing mobile. After sometime when I looked at her again,I found that she was looking at me. I was more uncomfortable now. I was in such a situation for the first time.
 Our eyes went to each other's faces again and again. That's all going on and 'Firozabad' was crossed. We reached 'Shikohabad. Enough time had passed, so I was feeling hungry. I was traveling since last night and she was probably since morning.
I opened my Lunch Box and started eating. She was smiling at front so I felt little weird. I stopped and closed the lunch box. May be she didn't like it and started backstaping. The smile on her face has gone. We just sat silently for a long time. Sitting like this, We reached 'Etawah'.
Till now we had not talked about anything. I didn't even know her name. Then after a while her father called her by name. Then I knew her name. Yet we were strangers. We both didn't know who was going where. I had looked outside for a while and then started looking at her and I guess that she was waiting for this. Now something was happening to us.
Now I was observing 'Ankhon hi Ankhon me ishare' as I told earlier. In a while we were about to reach 'Phaphund'.
The train used to go till 'Lucknow'. There were 6 stations left. But I had to disembark before that. I was thinking all this in my mind. Meanwhile she did a strange thing. She put both her feet on my seat. i.e, both sides of me. It was a awkward moment for me. She sat like that for a long time. Meanwhile I couldn't even move. Once in a while we used to see each other.
My station was about to arrive so I had to be prepare to get disembark. She too probably knew that it was just about to end because she had to go on and I had to stop.
I don't feel well anymore. The station was only a little far away now. The sadness was getting worse as the station was approaching.
I was ready to get off with my luggage and her feet were still rubbing with my feet as we sat in front of each other. The station had arrived and the train was about to stop. Now I had to get up from my seat. 
When I stood up, her feet were blocking my way. I politely say "Pair hatao"! She was looking at me when I was saying and after a while she took off his feet.I was leaving the coach. I turned and saw that she was looking at me. Those who had never met were seperated. And then this story remained incomplete.
