She wasn't mine (Part:-3)

With a loud thundering outside the train came to a hault at the station. Carrying my baggage in hand and smile in my heart and lips I dismounted from the train but I still had a dilemma that whether she would recognise me or not because people usually says pictures fakes and what if she didn't like me in real and leave me. Then I thought if she would leave then I'll take the next train and get back home . 

The rain was lashing hard but my eyes were searching for my Aasu,afterall I was going to see her for the first time in my life with a fear in my heart that this first time don't turn out to be the last time too. Just then my eyes fell of a girl standing far waving her hands towards me. As soon as I wove my hand she came running towards me just like Simran running towards her Raj in the movie dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge. Her hairs were kept loose and flying behind her excitement bloomed on her beautiful face. I was expecting she would come and hug me tight but then I feared what those people around us will think but it didn't happen what I had thought and feared of. 

She came and stood infront of me with breathing heavily, Oh gosh!! what a beauty she wore. The rain drops had made her hair wet with few drops on her face looked like morning dew drops sparking under sun. She got big bewitching eyes and lips like the petal of rose fresh and tempting. She wore salwar kameez and I could see her heart pounding underneath her dress while her long slender legs tapered below her curvy waist. Her light pink dress has got stains of drain drops that was making it stick to her buttery skin. Before I could say or understand anything she just hugged me tight with beautiful words flowing from her mouth that spoke out "Finally Rohit finally we are meeting today, welcome to my city." She was wet but she was transferring her heat into me. Few of her wet hair kissed my face filling it's mesmerizing fragrance into my breath. I just inhaled them deeply feeling it throughout my inner body.I could now feel her heart beat on mine, feeling so close and so loved. I wished the moment to stop there and then itself but the horn of that stupid train made all the mess. 

"Why are you so silent Rohit? Didn't you like my city or didn't like me?"

" No no it's not like that "

" That means you liked me right?"

" Actually I'm still in shock . Till today I had just heard your voice or seen your photos but now you are all infront of me and i still can't believe that I'm here meeting you . All these are happening like a dream."

" Oh come on, we are meeting and it's not a dream. Now let's go or else the rain will make both of us wet."

As we walked towards the exit gate of the platform few cab drivers approached us and as I was going to talk to them Aasu pulled me away saying " if you talk to them in Hindi or English they gonna know that you are an outsider and will charge you more wait I'll talk to them in my language."

I just nodded my head because I was already lost in her beauty. She then negotiated fare with a cab driver and after she finalized it the cab driver told us that we have to walk upto the taxi stand as taxi aren't allowed till the station entry place. It was raining heavily and if we walk upto the taxi then we both gonna get wet but we didn't have any other option rather than to walk. Aasu took out her duppata and used it to cover her head as well as mine and laughingly said " I can't take the risk of you catching cold fever otherwise your mom will say that I didn't take care of you ." I just kept smiling without a speaking a word as if I'm really a dumbo what Aasu used to call me. 

Once inside the taxi , Aasu cleaned the water droplets from my face and hand and said " what has happened to you Rohit? Why are you still silent. You used to talk so much over call but since the time you have landed here I haven't heard anything from you."

" Aasu you know God not only has gifted you with beauty but also have filled lots of love in you. You are so caring I'm just touched by your actions."

" Not as much as you are ,Rohit. I have learnt this from you only. Remembered ,Chennai express, Akansha and how you kept on calling me. It's for that why we both are together today. I thought if you can be so caring for your friend then how much care and love you would give to your own people."

" Anyone will do that I wasn't an exceptional "

" I know you don't like to take credit for your deeds but still no one will care and get worried for a person whom he hasn't met ever and will leave his movie and will stay awake whole night just to know if she is keeping well or not. You know Rohit,I thought you both were boyfriend girlfriend untill I met her boyfriend."

" Was it raining yesterday or did it started raining today because I was coming here?"

" I know you don't like to talk about Akansha,sorry for taking up that incident. It wasn't raining yesterday,it started just few minutes before your train arrived ."

Since childhood I have been hearing that if it rains before you begin any task then its considered as a good sign,as if the whole heaven is showering there blessings on you and wishing you all the best and here as we both met , what else other than rain can be a better companion to begin our first meeting.
