Train Tales (ch-2)

Marriage under attack

A lady from the train with hands full of lacquer bangles, and saree covering her face got out from train with a big family.

The train engine whistles and the train starts from a station to next, with this it ends a journey and starts a new.

The granny smiles at the sight of the lady and the story continues.

~~~~~~~~~

I remember I always had difficulty with such a big house.

It wasn't as fun as everyone thought.

For talking to anyone I have to go to their respective rooms. It was like people were far from your reach.

Let's take you to the first day.

It was the first time I was gonna sleep on a bed.

It was soft as silk and had springs.

Don't judge me but what can someone do with a spring bed?

So I jumped, jumped, and jumped. And I was really happy enough to not notice him standing at the gate.

It was the first time we were left alone in a room and the first time we spoke.

We just shared names, which we already knew. But yeah, it was some progress.

I slept on the bed and he read his book.

When I woke up he was sleeping on the surface.

I was filled with guilt but I don't know how to behave. I never talked to a boy before except for my father and brother.

The next day with the landline I called my friend.

"So, how are you?"

I told her each and everything. And she comes out with an impulsive reaction.

" Oh god!! What is your name?"

"Yeah!!"

"And who is gonna ask hobbies?"

" I was feeling like I was forgetting something."

" Write in your hand.

Hobbies

What he is studying?

His favourite film

Actor

Actress

The actress is really important.

Do you get that?"

"Why?"

"Who is Dev Anand?"

"My first love"

"Exactly! You have to be like his first love. Come on soldier, you can beat the actress! Then only your relation will be good"

" Yeah! Any more questions?"

" His favourite food

Bye!"

I was ready with everything on my hand. I have to make my marriage work.

And that fifth day when he came in I started reading the questions from my hand.

And I discovered heartbreak, he didn't watch films. He didn't get time from his studies.

He has seen none.

I thought we will sing songs near the trees. I even had selected a tree near our house.

But it looks like we have nothing in common.
