It's a matter of last November (On the occasion of Diwali). I resided in Indore, India with my younger sister. She wanted to visit home, I refused because it's so difficult to get reservations just before a few days of any festival (Difficulties increase when that festival is Diwali).

After multiple dramas of her, I decided to go home. So, finally, my brother booked tickets but tickets were not confirmed (9–11 waiting). Nevertheless, we didn't change the decision to visit home.

And finally, just before a day we left the hostel to go home. We caught train, entered into AC coach (We had 2-AC tickets but tickets were not confirmed), there was no place to sit and no one tried to ask for help. That was worst journey of my entire life and the main risk was of my sister. I can compromise in any situation but can't see her in trouble. I was so afraid, I was thinking what would we do when TC will say you don't have confirmed tickets, you have to leave this coach. I was ready to pay any amount.

After half an hour, TC knocked the coach and asked for tickets individually. I said (With respect) “Sir, we don't have confirmed tickets, if there is any vacant seat, please provide that one to us, we will manage. I am ready to pay any amount. Unfortunately, he was a new joiner there and I think he had a fire inside him somewhere, fire related to honesty,

And that fire affected me a lot.

I requested him but he replied with arrogance “you have to leave the train, how could you even entered into AC coach and all such ridiculous dialogues to prove as if he is so honest. I could read my sister's face, she was so scared. To be honest, I was about to cry but controlled as I was the only ray of hope for my sister and I can't see a single drop of tear into her eyes. Again, I used words like please sir and pleaded a lot but his behaviors remained the same.

Now, it was not the time to plead and request. I felt like as a girl I can say so many things which will enforce him to allow us to stay at the same coach.

After few minutes, he came back and said:

Are you going outside or should I start throwing your luggage?

I replied, I am saying that I am ready to pay then what's wrong with you?

Passengers of that coach took my side and asked him to allow us. But, he didn't change his decision and behaved like a heartless person.

Finally, at the next stop we had to leave the AC coach to take entry into any other boogie. I had Goosebumps, I was not ready to face that worst situation but I had to show a bit of courage because of my sister and I did so. We ran toward sleeper coach and in between, she left my hand and started to run separately. I screamed and said, it will be okay if we miss the train but don't you leave my hand again. We entered into the next coach and the situation was disgusting, it was hard to even stand there. I have decided to go back to the same AC coach and I did the same.

After few minutes, TC came and said:

Can't you get my point?

What are you doing here?

Leave!!

And then more louder…

Leave!!

I was like oh! God, do you really exist!!

If yes, then please help me out. I am stuck.

I said, do you have a problem because we are staying inside this coach.

Fine, we are waiting for the next morning near the washroom area, I hope it will be okay for you.

He said, you can't, leave the train. There is no place for you both without confirmed tickets.

I didn't say a single word then, I held my sister's hand took my luggage and went to the same place (Near main gate).

We stood there for more than one hour and finally I sat there and put my sister's head on my lap and asked her to sleep.

She was so scared and was continuously saying, what will we do?

I said: From now, we are not going to leave this place. Let him do, whatever he can do. I just know he can't dare to push us outside the train.

Again, that disgusting person entered and used the same bothering dialogue.

I repeated my lines, “Sir, I am ready to pay any amount and also I am not going to leave this train at any cost”.

Finally, he smiled and said, give me Rs.1600.

I laughed and said, I didn't know this place near washroom costs that much. Pleasure to know.

I said I don't have money to pay for such areas. If you are going to provide me a seat then only I will pay 1600 or else I have just Rs.500 to pay.

It was around 12:45 a.m. he looked around, there was no one and took Rs.500 and left the train at the next station.

Some passenger came close to us and asked how much money I gave to him?

I used my mind and thought that if they were having fun, let me too do the same.

I said, he took Rs.1200 and they passed the palm face reaction.

It was not the end of trouble. The entry of new TC from next station and he said what are you doing here?

This time, passengers told him the whole incident (Except about that Rs.1200 Rs.) As he was a TC too, that was icing on the cake moment for him so he demanded the same (Rs.1000) Then I told him I paid Rs.1200 to sit here and you are demanding Rs.1000 more, seriously?

Don't you think, you are doing wrong?

Passengers supported me a lot. Finally, TC said, I know him very well, he is a new joiner, I will see him, give me Rs.200 only and I did so.

Luckily, at 5:30 a.m. we got a seat and finally we took a long breath and relaxed.
