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.
