Life gives us many experiences from which, some teaches a lesson, some will create humor and some of them shares pain. But, an experience that steals our heart making to live the moment forever is something special and will not fade from our memories. Come, let's tune to that feel, said a guy talking to his friends over a tea.
That was the final day of graduation when the students of a class were waving off at each other outside the campus. A girl hurriedly moving towards the parking bay was obstructed by some of her friends and got dragged into their conversation. Unable to ask excuse from her friends, she started to watch a boy frequently who is standing at the parking gate. That boy was observing all the girls passing by, but couldn't find the one he was searching. After a while, he came closer to the campus from the parking bay to check if that girl was nearby. He found her with her friends throwing looks at him frequently. Feeling helpless to call, he went back and started his bike. As soon as he turned back, the girl rushed towards the boy in order to meet him. As she approached the bike, the boy accelerated and moved on, but hadn't notice this girl coming behind to meet him. She shouted his name but the boy couldn't listen as a bus nearby honked at the same time. She left the campus bidding bye to her friends and reached railway station to catch the train to her home. Sitting on a platform bench with an upset mood, remembering the bike engine beating, her shout for that boy and the bus horn that swallowed her dearest moment made her to weep silently.
Handing over the bike to his friend which he borrowed for a day, the boy reached to the railway station with a depressed mind as the reason for borrowing the bike was not fulfilled. He sat on a bench, opposite to the platform where the girl was sitting but didn't noticed her. The girl's train was announced and she started to shed tears. Resting his head on the back of the bench, the boy closed his eyes missing someone. The girl's train started to arrive on the platform and the boy stared at the rail engine pacing on the other end. As the engine was passing by the girl's bench, the boy's sight fell upon the girl and he jerked. With lots of hope he shouted her name but the fate is such striking that she couldn't listen him due to the train's horn. He thought of crossing the track to meet her but suddenly a goods train on his side has blocked the way. Bringing up his whole energy to his feet, he ran fast to use the foot-over bridge, but could see the last vehicle of the train leaving the station. What was the reason of her cry and his reason of meeting her? Why does they want to meet at the campus? What was that they wanted to share has been buried in their hearts.

Listening to the alarm, struggling hard to miss the coziness of the bed, a guy woke up to get ready for the office. He picked up his friend on the way discussing about the plans for Diwali, on the next day. Having holiday on Diwali, the guy's friend had a plan to visit his uncle and requested this guy also to join him. The guy agreed to accompany him and they thought to meet at the railway station in the evening. It was 6:30 PM, but the guy was still working on an important assignment. He informed his friend that he would be able to catch the next available train asking his friend to start as per the plan. "Do visit Grandma tomorrow and spend some time with her" said Nandini's mother to Nandini over the phone. Two hours later, the guy finished his work, reached his home to pack clothes and chose the shortest path to reach station.
Finally, he arrived station and was waiting on the platform. He was very tired of day's work and of long travel to reach station. He rested his head on the back of the bench closing his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, he listened the train's horn on the platform opposite to his bench. A memory of his past reminded him of same situation and suddenly a Girl's face flashed in his mind. Being a similar situation, he immediately threw his look on the opposite platform and saw a girl sitting on the bench waiting for the train. Without a second of thought, he jumped from his platform to cross the track and the fate is so striking that no train has blocked his way this time. The engine was approaching but the guy managed to get on to the platform. He is very eager to meet that Girl but just want to make sure if it is Nandini.
Even the girl was surprised to see this guy as he resembles the boy whom she missed to meet two years back. Both of them moved towards each other. Then the boy with deep emotion said "Nandini?". The girl responded..."Sameer?" Both at the same time replied "Yes". The moment made them to excite, they felt happy. The moment made them to reconcile, they cried. They felt the warmth of exciting emotion for the first time in their life when they shook their hands. Their heart pounded, veins freeze to circulate, breath gone swift, and eyes got closed. She float in a virtual sky lacking gravity when he touched her cheek with his fingers. She altered the atmospheric pressure of him by hugging him tight. They don't know who has turned the magical wand upon them, making the strings of their heart sing the melody of love. Both of their trains came and left, but they sat on the same bench holding their hands and discussing.
Boy: "I borrowed my friend's bike to drop you at the railway station on the last day of our graduation. But you were busy with your friends. Finally, I started as I am getting late to handover the bike to my friend...!!!"
Girl: "I saw you starting the bike, got late with my friends, but when I am almost nearby you didn't even look back when I shouted your name...!!!"
Boy: "I saw you at the station when you are about to board the train, I shouted for you, but no luck...!!!"
Girl: "I have thought of missing the train on that evening, hoping to meet you at the station. But, I don't know where did you go on the bike...!!!"
Boy: "What would you have told me, If we have met at the campus or at the station...!!!"
Girl: "I Love You..!!!"
Boy: "I Love you too...!!!".
Listening to this story one of the friend asked the guy, is it your story Sameer? When Sameer thought of replying...he found his phone ringing. Looking at the phone screen and smiling, he showed the caller name to his friend written Nandini and said, Excuse me, My wife is calling me..:) and I married her after the day when we met again...!!!
