Once again it is you

 That day was the 367th day of our breakup and at the last moment, I was thinking "you" while leaving that city and will  never be back to that place ,I wish.

I was leaving many things and taking only an engineering degree along with some memories,some friends and a name "Shreya" in my heart.

Standing on the platform of Ghaziabad railway station in between the various odd sounds I was waiting for my upcoming journey meanwhile I was thinking everything of my past ,what I have left and what I have gain in these past four years.

In that time my train had arrived and my couch D-3 was in front of me and after many scrimmage I was on my seat 102 ,alongside on seat 101 a well dressed , attractive  girl sitting next to me reading a novel like a deep reader,lost in her own life like everything was still for her .I was adjusting my  luggage and trying to adjust on my seat meanwhile she got some disturbance that I didn't want to do and then she raised her eyes and looked upon me ,after taking some glimpses of her face I started coming back from my thoughts of past into the present that was full of her far cry vibes and within a second she again drowned in her book. As the train was getting faster ,my past thoughts also get started to coming back in my mind  as they tried to overcome the speed of train and totally wanted to control me. Again ,I lost in my last four years of "engineering" ,that city ,that College fun , friends,hostel wickedness and Shreya. I was totally wandering in the college grounds,canteen and bunking the classes in my imagination ,that once used to be true. Then ,I suddenly realised someone shooked my shoulder,oh, that was the novel reading girl sitting next me. I said,yes ? She said,"Are u going to Lucknow?" I got totally shocked and started thinking about "shreya" and an incomplete love story of mine was totally replicated in my mind in the matter of seconds because "shreya belongs to Lucknow". She again asked me " Are u going to Lucknow?" In the second time I answered,"Unfortunately no".She asked what? I answered,"let it be , actually,I am going to aligarh." She smiled and very sweetly said " I am also going to Aligarh" .This piece of conversation brought me again in the reality. This conversation didn't stop here ,I asked, From where in aligarh? She answered, and some of that kind of words exchanged between us.Then I moved my focus on the novel that she was reading  and asked her " which novel are you reading?" She replied"Men without women". I answered involuntary "oh great",then again I asked " Is this your hobby of reading or for just passing the time you are reading this novel? "She replied ," I'm very passionate about reading" and then she asked " what's your opinion about reading ? " I was smiling firstly then answered "आओगे कभी कमरे में हमारे,तो किताबों के सिवाय कुछ और न पाओगे".she laughed and said " oh so you are a reader who also loves shayaris" I said yes absolutely, then she added " शहर, शॉक सब एक ही है , लगता है मंजिल एक ओर ही है " then with a knee-jerk I said " waah waah ". 

With this conversation I started to move away from my thoughts which entangled me for a long time . Her smile , shining face ,sunken eyes ,was like a novel in itself and I was reading this novel like a curious reader who always try to discover something new in the every page ,in the every line ,in the every word. She was telling me about Herself,her hobbies ,how she reached in her college,how she was enjoying her life and charmed me with her melodious voice ,and I  was just listening her like a poetry. In between all this ,she said "aligarh has arrived" . I reacted "what" like I hadn't heard anything. She again said " aligarh has arrived" .I guess first time in my life I hadn't any excitement upon my arrival at my home . I was sitting still like I wanted to listen her more ,then she said let's go .I said "yeah" very outrageously and then  we both started  moving out from the train carrying the luggage and  searching for the exit gate. After moving our eyes ,we found that exit ,then we started moving in opposite direction.

Suddenly a voice came , " हे सुनो",  I turned back and said " Yes". She asked 'what is your name?" And I said " vishwas" and very eagerly I asked her "And your name?" 

She said 'Shreya '. I was totally in a different world and my mind was empty, I was just seeing her and then slowly lost her sight of and then I said to myself " once again ,it is you" .
