RANTARA FF - Difficulties Faced in love ch-1 part-12 pg 12 - Page 6

"I think I have told u my brother lives in delhi and I visit him every month", Antara replied in her soothing voice.

"That I know but where in delhi? I mean d location..." Raghu said

"Oh I'm sorry. Defence colony." Raghu tried 2 figure out if he had ever heard of this place before; d answer was no. He was still very much an alien in d city. He barely knew it well.

"Helowww." She shook him out of his gloom. "Raghu, is ur world more beautiful dan dis?" He was confused at wat Antara had asked him.

"Wat?" He said quite baffled.

"Why? Don't u hve a world of ur own?" she asked

"wat world?" he stuttered

"Do u remember our English teacher Mrs. Hussain who had once remarked dat u hve a world of ur own and u remain In dat world quite a lot?" Antara said wid a smile.

"Yes," he replied in shock . Raghu remembered quite well and so did she . but was it such a common possibility dat she remembered it? And did she remember more of such remarks about him? Why did she hear all those remarks about him so attentively dat she remembered it even after years?

"I know I'm boring u ." Raghu admitted shyly

"Till now, definitely yes," Antara said and laughed . but now I felt a sudden impulse, a strong desire 2 overcome his uncommunicativeness and talk 2 her d way he had wanted 2. Raghu glanced at his watch and it was already eight. Time was passing faster dan ever and he badly wanted 2 live in d eccentricity of dat moment. Everything was just so perfect, beyond words , beyond any description. Generally, these trains r buzzing wid people but miraculously not many eyes disturbed them ; dere were very few passengers around, there privacy was undisturbed . He had no idea of a perfect date, If he envisaged one, a date in a train was d most unique, Dates in restaurant and parks were all very common. But who wud call it a date; Raghu was barely speaking . Anyone else in my shoes cud hve done better. The train shoved as his heart functioned faster; they had cme 2 a halt at Kanpur station. The platform looking appallingly squalid wid passengers lying like corpes on d floor.

"Hey , I'm bored of sitting 4 hours. Let's just straighten our legs by taking a quick walk. How does it sound?" Antara asked but too keen in hearing a yes. Raghu blinked at his watch , five minutes had elapsed and he still had five minutes 2 go for a memorable walk wid Antara. They jumped down, walked d length of d train as we caught d attention of almost everyone on d platform . He was sure they were trying 2 figure out if they were love birds and honestly he had not felt bad guessing wat they felt. Raghu walked wid gallons of pride, feeling she was all his. He looked at her face over and over, He wished dat their walk wud never end . But it's a basic truth date vet good thing comes 2 an end. While they rushed back 2 d train, her cell phone rang. Antara picked and Raghu cud not hear a word despite his best efforts, as she spoke too softly. His heartbeats fastened.
