The pleasant breeze slightly brushed her skin, as she tried to gather up her scattered thoughts. After a continuous day run, the train had finally managed to halt in an empty-looking station. She looked at her watch and figured that time had passed fleetingly.
This was definitely not the 'memorable' part of her life as she could be clearly seen struggling. Maybe this misery and pain had kept her from sleeping all night.
She folded her legs neatly and wrapped her arms around her leg, as the cool breeze made her tremble. Drenched in her thoughts, she dint realize that when the train had come to a halt. She scanned the platform, to notice the name of the station- 'Deoli'.
Sitting here all by herself, she tried to think of something to do. Yet, her luck least favored her as 'he' was all in her mind.
Grabbing the white shawl kept on the other side of the two-seater, she wore her 'chappals' . She wanted to run away..run away from what? Everything! her life, herself, and 'him'.
The station was not exactly empty she noticed. At one corner of the station, she observed a 'chai wala' , busy making the morning tea, under the dimly lit station light. It was funny how even a simple 'chai' could be related to him. That was maybe 'coz she dint know how to live without him. She smiled at her ill-faith and misery.
The reddish tinge deepening of the morning sky indicated the breaking of dawn. Everything looked so beautiful right now. Everything reminded her of 'him' right now. The sweet silence gave her nothing but pain, and more of pain. The pain of stabbing thousand knife in her heart seemed so much better now!
She stopped starring at the breathe taking view ahead of her, when a sudden realization hit her- she was crying.
"Dammit, can't think of living without you."
The familiar voice vibrating her ear drums had shocked her. There was no way he could be following her to this train.
'Stop thinking of him. Stop hallucinating! He loves you no more.' She mentally kicked herself for being so loose in controlling her emotions.
"You're wrong- I can never ever stop loving you." The same manly voice hit her ears again. This time the voice was clearer, perhaps he was closer to her. Her hands clenched the train rod when she felt his breathe on her shoulders.
The breathe could no more be felt, but only the virile hands on her shoulder.
"You absolutely have no idea of what I feel about you." His voice reflected equal amount of pain and amusement.
With tears in her eyes, she turned around and sighed. He was standing there, right in front of her.
The white shirt on his body caught her attention. It was the shirt she had gifted him, along with the deep blue denims he was wearing. He looked liked the hottest being ever, like always!
His charm and looks always made her think about how did they end up together. Like every novel or filmy story, they had nothing in common, only this was a real story. She had made every attempt of throwing the Casanova out of her life, when they had initially met. But destiny had planned something else, as they eventually fell in love. Quiet a dream, isn't it?
No matter how heard he tried, she was never sure of 'them', since it always looked like a dream to her.
"There is no way he can be serious about this" she always made a point, looking at him. Yet, she dint notice something, seen by everyone- he had changed completely for her sake.
"You're crazy!" He sighed. Balancing his entire body on the compartment wall, he continued looking at her for a while. She was too shocked to make any movement.
Two door opened up in front of her right then- walk away and never look back, or, go and embrace him.
It was like he had read her mind, he straightened his leaning body and spread his arms. She took a moment to gather herself up.
He smiled and ran into his arms. It was innocence, her charm that had simply turned him into a maniac. Who'd have foreseen this day coming!? Maybe, it is such beautiful disasters that changes your life =)
She dug her face in his masculine chest, weeping more than earlier. He tightly and protective wrapped his arms around her, to never let go.
"You thought you will fight your parents alone, huh?" He kissed her forehead, while she continued sobbing and looked at him.
"But-" She tried to speak, but to her failure.
"I know, I know! Your parents don't like me. I'm not the guy they prefer. I don't blame them, no parent would prefer a womanizer for their daughter. They ain't wrong, are they?" He smiled at her understandingly. Was he a mind reader, she looked at him curiously. It was funny how he dint care about 'chicks' before he had met her and circumstances had changed him completely.
"You make just me crazy!" He blinked, answering her inarticulate query. She felt her heart skipping beats at the way he looked at her. Words just aren't enough to describe it!
"I promise you, I'll win over each of your family member. I'll try my best. I won't give up this easily. I love you. " He cupped her face while she looked at him innocently. He managed to mouth his heart in whispers. She could not more feel the cool breeze touching her skin, all she could feel was the warmth of his body.
His eyes reflected his honestly.
"
"Love you too." She responded with a smile. She had begun this journey with fears, sadness , hopelessness and a shattered heart. Yes, she had decided never to meet him, nor to call him, to forget him.. but guess what? It is not that easy to kick someone out of her life. If he loves you, he will follow you till eternity..and win over you..
"I promise to keep you happy. Happy till eternity- and beyond!" He winked at her naughtily.
She giggle with tears rolling down her cheeks, as she hugged him tight.
Not exactly aiming for a memorable trip.. he had managed to make 'Deoli' make memorable and special for her.
And with that ends another fairytale dream- my fairy tale dream. =)
