Aahana reaches railway platform
on time, only to notice that the train is already in motion.
Mumbai – Rahul’s cell beeps!
Aahana – Dude, what was the
departure time of my train?
Rahul – I guess it was 08:30 hrs.
Why? Where are you? Did you start??
Aahana(furious) –Missed it by
just 2 min
Rahul – oh god! Sorry dear, the
departure time was 08:20 Not 08:30 L
Aahana(more furious) – Heck!
How can you not mention me the proper time?
and hangs up the phone.
Rahul calls up Karthik to inform
about the issue with Aahana’s train. Karthik asks him not to worry because the tatkal
window would open up the next morning, and that they both can try booking the
ticket.
Rahul’s cell beeps again!
Karthik – Hey Rahul, its me.
Problem solved. Ticket for today night is available. Do you want me to book the
ticket for Aahana.
Rahul – Hey dude! Awesome news. No
worries. I shall do it right away. You saved me from a huge trouble man! My
sister was so furious yesterday for my mistake. She’s going to eat me when she
meets me. lolz!
Karthik – Don’t worry man! All
worked out! Just let her know when you are done. And for god’s sake please
mention the correct timing this time.
Mumbai– Aahana’s Cell:
Rahul – Hey it’s me.
Aahaha – yeah. Tell me khadus.
You ruined my weekend plans! :-P
Rahul - You will be in Mumbai early morning
tomorrow. Pack your bags and get ready.
Aahaha – This better be true,
else you are gone bro!
Rahul – I will text you all the
details. Good day. Bye and hangs up the phone.
Aahana’s Journey:
Aahana, all set for Mumbai reaches
railway station well on time unlike her previous day visit. Luckily she’s got
her tatkal reservation in a 3AC coach. Happy as always gets into the coach and settles.
The train departs from the platform
and journey began. Aahana calls up Rahul and informs she’s settled and will see
him in the morning. Also tells him to be on time to receive her at Mumbai CST.
Glancing at the faces in the
compartment, Aahana finds a girl possibly her age, on a call from the moment
she boarded the train. She smiles at her as an ice breaker. The girl replies back with a smile. Finally
she hangs up her call and greets Aahana with a big smile.
Aahana – Hello. Aahana here. What
is your good name?
Girl – Hey, its Sandhya. Nice to
meet you.
Aahaha –Do you stay in
Mumbai? I mean, do u study there?
Sandhya – Nope! I am going to
meet my boyfriend. What about you?
Aahana – Going to meet my
brother. He works in Mumbai.
Sandhya – Cool. Maharashtrian?
Aahana – Yeah. You?
Sandhya – Yeah. Me too.
Few minutes later, they both came
to know they even belong to similar caste.
Sandhya mentioned that she and
her boy friend are not from same caste and that her parents might not accept their
relationship. Aahana casually proposes Sandhya to marry her brother Rahul
hoping she would not get offended. Both knew those were just words which had no
existence for real. Their conversation continued and later exchanged numbers before
going back to their allocated berths.
Mysterious Girl:
Rahul, not an early bird, woke up
late and reached CST. Aahana tells Rahul her journey was an interesting one and
that she met a girl from similar caste. She even mentioned to Rahul that she
had asked Sandhya to marry him if her relationship doesn’t work out. Rahul was very
eager to know the name but Aahana never mentioned her name to him.
Rahul somehow comes to know the
name of the girl who was in the train with his sister. He browses through Sandhya’s
Facebook profile which did not have much information or photos. Disappointed,
he logs out and forgets about the profile.
Oh Shit! Did I just add her?
Rahul, a facebook maniac, gets a
notification saying ‘Sandhya(Friends with Aahana) commented on Aahana’s photo’.
Curious to know if there were any new developments on Sandhya’s Facebook
profile since his last visit, opens Sandhya’s Facebook profile. His eyes lit up
with a wide smile the moment he finds there are few photos in her ‘Cover Photos’
and ‘Profile Pictures’ albums with some information in ‘About’. Satisfied with
what he saw, while navigating back on mobile, unintentionally clicks on ‘Add
Friend’ on Facebook application only to
finds that the request was sent. He starts cursing the mobile application for
this, but in reality was in a way happy that it happened.
The request was already sent, the
damage was already done. He did not cancel the request with a hope that Sandhya
would accept his request. There were few occasions where he had already added
few girls (intentionally) which were a success. Leaving the rest on his luck,
he gets back to his work.
Luck by Chance:
Back from office, as usual, Rahul
switches on his laptop and opens Facebook. He checks for his notifications and literally
jumps from his seat when he sees that Sandhya had accepted his friend request. He
again browsed through her profile hoping to see more albums and photos she was
tagged in. Not finding anything new which he had not seen, logs out of
Facebook.
Online?
Sandhya was commenting on few
pictures of her friends. Rahul noted this and was wondering why Sandhya was not
showing online to him. He finally sends her a message saying ‘Hi’ and gets back
reply in seconds. After a casual conversation with Sandhya for some time, Rahul
makes up his courage and requests if he can ask her a question for which she
replies back with yes.
Rahul – your contact #?
Sandhya – Are you Aahana’s
brother? No, not so soon
Rahul – what do you think? Is
waiting gonna do anything better later?
Sandhya – I don’t think, I know
you are Aahana’s brother. That’s the reason I accepted your request. Sorry,
not so soon Rahul.
Rahul – Don’t worry, I will not
call you.
Sandhya - why do you require number when we can chat
here??
Rahul – To add you on whatsapp
and chat with you on whatsapp ;-)
Sandhya – its 9822124124, just
cos ur Aahana’s brother J
Rahul – btw, did you tell Aahana
abt the request? I guess you might have.
Sandhya – Nope!! Why?
Rahul – Jus lik that!! btw Sweet
pic!!
Sandhya – Thanks!
Finally Rahul got the number and
added her on whatsapp only to find, she was not visible in his favorites. Poor
guy again messages her on Facebook and requests her to add him on her whatsapp.
