it was raining hard that night....around 10 o' clock.....I have always travelled alone, I like to be on my own...  a small tea shop at a short distance, I cud see the owner nowhere..... no sign of life on the platform except for a lill dog cuddled up under a bench, and of course, me, trying to cope up with the 4 hours long delay, huh....railways I tell you..!!

strange enuff, a deserted platform, lights were all gone and so were the people, quite a rare sight u bet....!!  I stretched my hand to have a feel of the rain and drops drenched my arm.....as I was trying to enjoy the weather, the light flashed with a thunderous roar.....Startled, I drew my arm back....and then SUDDENLY.....

'he' was all wet, carrying a huge sports bag on his shoulder and a basketball in his hands, or a football...... or..watever.....he glanced at his watch and then at the platform..... our eyes 'met' and I knew that this wasn't going to be that bad a night....!! he was, wat do we say, tall dark handsome.....!! as he started walking towards me, I shifted my eyes off him....conscious, excited, confused, cud already feel the butterflies in my stomach..!!

"excuse me"...

did I hear anything?? is he talkin to me?? ..

I looked towards him, trying to sound normal I said, "yes?"..

"may I"..

"sure"..

I removed my handbag and he sat..I started looking in the opposite direction..his voice, wat shud I say, mesmerising enuff to cast spell on stones, or may be it was jus the ambience......

to be cont...
