laughed.
“ So, you’re leaving
tomorrow?” Pallavi asked.
“ Hmm! I had a nice time
here, it is good that we spent this time after a year or so,”
Laksha told.
“ Hey! You wanted to say
something, right? I totally forgot, what’s that?” Pallavi
asked.
“ Yeah! But let me tell you
later? Okay?” Laksha hesitated.
“ No, no, no, I want to know
right away, tell me, else my head would blast off
imagining,”
“ Okay, let’s go somewhere
quiet, I don’t want others to hear. So tomorrow early morning we
will go somewhere, fine? After that, we will get back and pick my
bags. I will take the train, then,”
“ Done, but still, one whole
night? I can't handle the suspense, give me a hint,”
“ Nothing doing..” by the
time she could finish the sentence, Pallavi received a
call.
“ Oops, it is from the
placement ambassador, you sleep, I will come back soon,” Pallavi
said and went to the balcony.
“ Palllllaaaaaaaaviiiiiiiii….
Get up right away, it’s time, am going to leave now, the train
won’t wait,” shouted Laksha and Pallavi woke, with a half eye
open.
“ What happened?” she
asked.
“ Nice question, it’s been
really a tiring job, waking you up, it’s time for my train and am
leaving now, I tried for the last time to wake you up, just to wave
a bye,” Laksha explained.
“ Oh god, I’m so sorry, I
guess it's because of the long walk we had last evening, I was
totally tired, am so sorry again,”
“ Madam, even I walked with
you, I woke up! Okay, see, I don’t have time, you wake up and call
me later, am leaving, bye,” Laksha kissed Pallavi’s forehead and
left.
It was nice to just fly down
in 4 hours, now it is a stretch of a day and more, Gosh! Money
plays a vital role, she thought. I did not work properly, took leave and thank God,
Saurav is really sweet. What happened to this stupid Sai, he didn’t
even call me, oh, I told him not to call is it? Laksha kept animating her face with expressions without
spelling a word, which annoyed the person sitting opposite to her.
When she realized it, she raised her brows and adjusted to sit
comfortably, sat in Padmasana and took her Femina book and covered
her face.

“ Tonight at 2 I will reach
Mumbai, come to the station, stupid,” she
sent a text message to Sai.
“ Done, can we talk? Shall I
call you now?” he replied.
“ Boarded the train, yeah,
call me,” she texted.
He then called her and they
spoke for an hour, he asked her to eat some food and be careful
throughout the journey. All she did was say yes and nod her head with a cute
smile.
She kept thinking about the
conversation they had and throughout the day, messages were
exchanged; in between she spoke to Pallavi, her aunt and uncle, her
parents as well. Time can run swiftly and she fell asleep for a few
hours. She woke up when she felt hungry and munched the little
hearts biscuits with some mixed fruit juice that Pallavi’s uncle
had given her before boarding the train.
***
When the train reached Mumbai. Sai was
eagerly waiting to pick her up, but even after 15 minutes, he could
not trace Laksha. Even when he tried calling her, her number was
not reachable. He figured that she must be sleeping on the couch
and scrolled down the text to check the couch number. S2-47, it
said, so he swiftly ran ahead and entered the coach. To his
surprise, he found her bag there. He took it and walked to and fro,
thinking that she must be in the loo. Even after 20 minutes,
though, she didn’t turn up, so he got down and scratched his
head.
He was clueless and didn’t know what to
do, he kept checking his phone and thoroughly checked her bag, he
could not understand what happened. He tried to reach out and check
with the TTR about the passengers who travelled with her, but all
in vain.
Even if she had missed the
train, she would have called me by then , he
thought.
