2 Hours Love

There are some incidents that happened in your past and those incidents are like an investment that gives you a return in form of a smile and happiness. One such incident that I would never forget ….

It was somewhere in August 2006, I was on the way to home from the hostel. I board a passenger train at Gorakhpur Railway station to Kaptanganj, the nearest railway station from my home. The distance from Gorakhpur railway station to Kaptanganj railway station was around 40 KM and it took around 1 hour by passenger train. The train was about to run then three college girls having similar age boarded the same coach and asked can we sit ? Yes, please I said! All the three girls sat in the front of my seat. The train started moving at a normal speed.

One of the three girls attracted my attention to her with her simplicity and beautiful eyes. I was just attracted to her and it was clear that I will not get bored at least for a 1-hour journey. The train was running at its normal speed and I took a look at her secretly in between. After a long silence, one of the girls asked! are you a student? Yes, I said! Except for that girl with beautiful eyes, the other two girls introduced themselves. Then we started discussing about the studies and career options. The third girl like a good listener was enjoying our conversation while smiling. While discussing with the two girls I came to know that all three are good friends and are going to their respective homes, which was nearby Siswa Bazar Railway station. Siswa Bazar railway station was around 30 KM and next to Kaptanganj railway station. The train was about to arrive at Kaptanganj railway station but I decided to go to Siswa Bazar railway station and returned back by next train, so that can get some more time to spend with that mystery girl.

Finally, the train reached their destination and two of the three girls moved towards the exit gate to deboard at Siswa Bazar railway station. The third girl also stood from her seat, picked her bag, and asked heyyy, would you like to say something?

No, I surprisingly replied!?

Sure! she said!?

Yes, very much! I replied.

Fine! She said!

While leaving the seat, she again said Abhishek you will get many more chances to express, keep missing your station. By the way, I am Mira Singh! I was caught and both of us looked at each other with a smile on our faces. She left the coach and both of us kept looking at each other until she disappeared.

Whenever I remember this incident I just thought how crazy I was! Every act of love and kindness is an asset we leave behind.
