train 9 2 11 ..... continued part 4

OH SHIT! I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING. There was another train nearing the station on the third track. I started sweating heavily; I could not think what I should do next. First thing I thought was to take Rachana out of the station, so I ran towards the platform. While I reached the telephone booth Rachana was talking to her mom on the phone, I squinted for the wire, which was not the telephone wire. I bent down the phone box and watched for the probable interfaced bomb. After the close watch, I saw no bomb triggering circuit. But one thing was apparent that it’s not the telephone wire, as the wire was approaching from the different pole. When Rachana finished her call, we came out of the telephone booth. I saw that the other train halted some 100yards away from the station.
While Rachana and I were exiting the platform, I turned towards to the pole again. I saw an unusual thing out there; there was red light falling on the milestone near the telephone pole. I thought of saying about the things I observed to Rachana, but felt that it will do no good. To my respite, I saw Rachana’s cousin in the station.
“Rachana, you people all right?”
“We are fine Mahi.”
Mahi turned to me. “Thanks for accompanying her”
“Mahi, are you also going to Vizag?”
“Yeah Avinash.”
“Rachana, well sorry to say but …. I want to return Hyderabad. You go to Vizag along with Mahi.”
“What happened to you? You feeling all right Avinash”, Rachana asked me worriedly.
I turned to her and said softly, “Rachana seeing this accident, am bit down and I really think it would be better if I go back to Hyderabad.”
“Ok fine, anyway thanks for accompanying me”
“Hmm… now what’s the need to thank me huh?” I said smiling at her foolishly.

At 22:20pm, Rachana and Mahi boarded the bus towards Vizag. I bid them goodbye and returned to the station. I again saw the milestone. There was still red light falling on it. I tried to trace the path from where it was coming, but it was difficult to trace. This time I didn’t wanted to go near the pole as it may probably being observed.I went towards the telephone booth for calling Prashanth. Now the rush at the booth was little less. After five minutes, I got my turn to utilize the phone. I stretched forward my hand to lift the receiver………… Trigg….tringggggg…..trig…tringgggg…!

train 9 2 11 .... continued!

LATER THERE WERE MORE THAN FIFTY REPORTERS IN STATION AND AN OVERFLOW CROWD OUTSIDE ON THE PLATFORM. There were representatives from television, radio, and the press, many of them loaded down with microphones and television gear. They all seemed to be speaking at once.
“We’ve heard reports that it was not a fire accident due to blast of cylinder….”
“Is it true it was a terrorist attack…?”
“Is the government trying to hide the truth from the people?”
The police officer raised his voice to regain control.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t tell you lot anything now not before any investigation takes place. It is our government’s firm policy that if we should come across any such evidence, we would immediately make that information available to the public. If there are no further questions…..”

It was 2200hrs and I was feeling hungry. I brought two food packets given by relief party out there. Rachana and I ate.

I tried to call Prashanth’s mobile but there was no signal. Rachana and I walked over to telephone booth, which was crowded. While we were waiting near the booth, I noticed something odd, there were two different wires aligned with the conventional telephone wire. I followed the wire where was it coming from, after walking nearly 200 yards from the booth I found the telephone pole, but the wire, which aligned along with telephone wire, was coming from the other direction. OH S H I T !!!!!

ek chotisi crush!!

It was four o’clock in the morning. Today was the first day of my plus one (11) board examination. It was English paper today. I revised the subject till 6 am. I had to reach examination center by 7:30am, as the examination starts at 8am.

After having breakfast, I rushed to examination center at 7am. I reached the center at 7:25am. The center entrance was filled with parents and students. Everywhere the students were discussing, some were cramming the last minute topics. I didn’t wanted to revise now, but the environment instigated me to open my book.

There rung a bell to invite the students into their respective halls. As I was entering the into the college main entrance gate I saw a girl (damn cute she was). And I just thought,”If ever she sits beside me….”
After checking the room no., which I was allotted, I kept my bag in the room allotted for the bags.

As I entered the hall, I was shocked to see the girl there. And I searched for the desk where my hall ticket number was inscribed on. Leaving the desk where the girl was sitting I checked all the desk numbers and my number was missing. I went to invigilator to ask where my number was, he took my hall ticket checked for my number in the seats allotment data sheet. He pointed towards the desk where the girl was sitting. My heart started pumping 100 beats per minute.

It was 8 am, we were given the question paper and the examination started. Paper was damn simple. I started answering the questions. By ten o’clock, I completed essay questions and short answer questions; I was left with grammar and comprehension sections. Now we were left with fifteen more minutes to end the examination.

The girl next to me jabbed me with her pen. Without turning my head, I whispered to her. “What happened?”
She pointed towards the filling the blanks section. I smiled and said, “give me two minutes, I’ll be completing my paper.”

Then after completing my paper, I showed my answer script to her. She copied the answers. The final rang and the invigilators collected our answer scripts.
She again jabbed me with her pen and said, “thank you!”
“hmm… that’s ok,….. by the way what’s your name?”
She gave a mesmerizing smile. “Rachana”
Then she asked me, “What’s your name?”
I said with a sarcastic smile, “you already know my name, I saw you peeking into the details on my hall ticket!”
She couldn’t resist from laughing. “Hmm.. So Avinash how was the paper?”
“Well Rachana, paper was damn simple.”
The invigilators allowed us to leave the hall.

Then Rachana and I collected our bags, later on our way to bus stop we discussed about the most probable topics that we could expect in the next topic.

After reaching the bus stop, she got into her colony bus, which already was ready to leave. She bided my goodbye and I waited for my colony bus to arrive.


PS: this was my most memorable crush I had up to date.
