Rainy Train Journey - Part 1
I am Shravan here. I like to narrate in detail & not just like.. so & so and we started doing this and that which in fact is a turn off. So bear with the length of the story. I hope it turns you on. I was traveling from Ernakulam to Pune by train. It was a heavy downpour on the date of the journey across the entire state. By 5:30 pm, As soon as I boarded, I arranged my luggage and set up my favorite playlist in my iPod for listening.Since it was a last minute reservation, I only managed to get an RAC in 3rd AC. My berth was side upper, the worst berth anyone could get but luckily my berth was free when I boarded. The other passenger was yet to board in the oncoming station. Usually, in the case of RAC, I check from the manifest where they are boarding and try to get some sleep accordingly. But since it was raining heavy, I didn’t bother to look at it. I just laid down with music banging my ears. Soon, at least I thought so, someone gently tapped me on my shoulder & woke me up, it was Palakkad already, 8:30 PM. Lucky me, my co-passenger in my berth was a girl in her early 20s. She was drenched, I guess she didn’t have an umbrella. I moved and freed one-half of my berth. After taking a towel from her bags, She put her luggage beneath the lower berth and was hesitating to climb up probably because of wet clothes. I always carry newspaper with me, even in AC coaches I put the paper first & then the bed sheet they give us. So, I removed some paper from beneath our sheet & placed them over on her half side. She smiled, patted herself dry with her towel & climbed up. If you know, there is a vent directed straight at the side upper berth. I was already freezing and covered myself with the blanket. Soon, she was shivering, so took the other end of the blanket to cover herself up. I stroke a conversation. Me: hai, I am Shravan, am going to Pune Her: hi, am Ahilya, I am going to Mumbai, have you asked TTE for any available berth? S: yes, I did, all berths are full it seems, in fact, all the side upper and side lower berths are RAC. Soon, TTE came for ID verification, she asked once again on her behalf for a free berth but sadly there was none. He said, “at least if there were other single female passengers in RAC, I would switch you there but there isn’t, sorry.” A: pls don’t mistake me for asking him again S: that’s fine, even I would have done the same thing. A: :) S: CBE has come, am going to buy dinner, would you like to.. (Before I could finish, I thought that’s one hungry girl) A: yes please, chappathi is fine, thanks a lot! We had our dinner and I was immersed in music, she was on multiple calls. Until now I was sitting with my legs stretched across the berth & she, with her legs folded. She wanted to stretch her legs & so turned towards me. Only now, we were facing each other that I started to appreciate her. Even with just the poorly lit night lamp luminescence, she looked just splendid. She wore a denim jeans and club short shirt. Mallus are inherently just amazingly lovely, to that add wet hair and chilling secluded top berth screened off from the rest of the world. I was suddenly losing my mind, in all this process, I think I kept staring at her without moving a muscle as if I was in a mannequin challenge. She had to literally call my name loud to bring me back to my senses. That was embarrassing. S: I am sorry, I just.. A: froze :) S: I didn’t mean to stare A: it’s okay I was sweating now, whoa!! She was friendly, thankfully. S: do you wanna watch a movie? A: maybe some songs, not in a mood for a movie. S: I don’t have any A: I have We both came to the middle of the berth, facing the berth screen. As we were looking at her phone, it flashed a low battery msg. S: I have an otg drive, let’s transfer it to my mobile & watch in it A: sure Now many romantic songs had passed, in between we chatted, learned about each other, had some snacks. I let her choose songs, while she was navigating, she touched an incoming WhatsApp message, which was from my ‘men only’ group. Very untimely. They sometimes send ‘men’ stuff, if you know what I mean. That’s why I always keep it muted and generally have my auto-download of media turned off. I thought I was saved for a minute but the thing is, the last message I received was a very good video so I had kept it and obviously she saw that message on top of the new message. I just wish the frame of that video was just something else, then I would have escaped but it wasn’t, it was a topless girl, kneeling down, grabbing her boobs from the sides and trying to kiss the dick sandwiched between her boobs while looking up. I was TOAST. :( I just wanted to die, because the last thing I want to happen when I have such a girl as my companion for the next 28 hours happened. I thought she was gonna be mortified by me but from the looks of it, she felt only a little surprised or shocked I should say. A: I accidentally opened your msg S: ummm.. ( I really didn’t know what to say) A: let’s play a song! Which she did, we both stared at the screen like it was gummed to our eyes. Not a word, complete wall of silence. Finally, she broke the silence. A: are you not going to talk with me for the rest of the journey? S: Ummm… A: do you want to reply to that message? We can pause. S: no, no, that’s fine, moreover, the network would be unstable. A: oh, okay. So how often do you receive such messages? S: 2 or 3 times in a week. Maybe A: so, you know everything about it..?;) S: noooo :) A: it’s okay, let’s not talk about it, I won’t make you uncomfortable anymore ;) S: eeeee A: just one last question, how do you feel about me? Am I your type or..? S: you..? you look pretty, friendly and… A: andd???? S: ….soooo hottt! And Only if you would take it as a compliment…. A: sure, go on. S: I am telling only because you asked it,… I would definitely do you!! She was blushing… Breathing a little faster and I could say uncomfortable. S: would you? A: maybe..
