It was
dinner time now. We had our food and just sat down, with me sitting by the
window, chit chatting with A sitting next to me and V sitting next to him. The
30-32 year old guy on the berth in front of ours was sleeping since the train had
started and was still sleeping. He slept the whole journey in fact! Kumbhkaran
ka bhai ! He had an impressive sweet notebook though! Woh bhi Dell ki !
Anyways, after having our food, the three of us started sharing things, about
our past and present. V has been my best friend for more than two years now but
the bond between S and A was just beginning to take form. A is a very nice guy
to talk to. I must admit, I do enjoy his company.
So, we
decided not to sleep and wait till morning to see the sunrise. Actually, it was
my idea. I had never seen a sunrise from a train. I thought it would be
different to look at but stupid me! It’s all the same. Slowly slowly, all the
lights in our coach started dimming and after 11 it was pitch dark inside the
coach, only the lamp on our berth was up. We were still chatting, about our
placements, how the whole journey has been and also listening to the interesting
love story of A. Man, he really did love his girl. But unfortunately things couldn't work out well.When I and V asked about all
his love life, it was a scene to see. A was just so shy to say it! Lol. Sorry
A, but I am never going to forget those expressions on your face :P You looked
good. A small baby, trapped by cruel people, asking every personal detail! You were
not even able to look up :P and this was the best part. But A, seriously, you are
a great guy to be friends with. V and I literally enjoyed troubling you ;)
The journey
had been good so far, I was at ease that that guy didn’t turn up again but not
for too long could I be at peace. He turned up. His was the middle berth in the
row in front of ours. He climbed and lay down. I don’t know whether he was
sleeping or not but I felt a bit of uneasiness with his presence. He could very
well understand what we language we were speaking. Anyways, ignoring him, we
got busy among ourselves again. Listening to music it was fun in the train at
midnight. It’s nice to be in company of good people. A and V are nice people .
Bored from
listening to songs after sometime, A decided to stand near the train gate for some
time. Watching out of the gate, with cool breeze striking you face was very relaxing.
However the nearby sink was stinking a bit but
the company and the inner peace
of getting the job had added up to please me to stand there. ;)
The talk with A at the gate that night is
something I will always remember. It was a talk to remember. I haven’t seen
many simple, nice and honest people as A. Just like a sweet naughty kid, he
shared his life with me. He looked cute! People often complain that whenever
they are with S, it’s only them who are talking and not S. And they think that
S doesn’t wants to share herself. Actually that’s not at all the case. A, you
too might had this thought in your mind that day but honestly, I was just lost
figuring out how can anybody be so good and sweet like you in today’s world! I
am sorry if anytime you felt that I wasn’t sharing my thoughts with you.
And then
joined the other cute guy, V ! He came searching for us like a lost puppy ! He
thought we had intentionally left him behind to get bored but actually V, A and
I were just talking and didn’t realize how much time we had been there without
you!
Hence after
spending some more quality time at the gate, we came back to our respective
seats. God, I should have recorded the synchronicity of the snores, the people
were trying to follow in our compartment. It was like as if a band of snoring
people was being formed. A made fun out of some peculiar snores! LOL. It was
fun that night. A night to remember.
I could see that man up there on that berth, trying to hear us out, shifting from one side to another side, but then he still was on my ignore mode and I didn't feel anything to make A and V be aware of ! My mistake now, I guess.
