The LoVe BiRdS I SaW On ThAt DaY

I was waiting for Netravathi express at Ernakulam railway station on a cloudy day. As the clock showed 1.45, train  arrived on the platform. At that moment a beautiful girl caught in my eyes, running towards me. She stopped and stood near me waiting for the train to stop. I wished that train would never stop, but  Indian railways never hear prayers from Kerala. Later  I noticed  that she was not alone. Three boys and two girls were with her. When a beautiful girl stands near us, we will not see anything else in this world. I  could see only her beautiful eyes. I feel like they ran a lot to catch the train. Engine roared, but still I could hear her breathe.

     As the train stopped, I got inside and found my favorite spot on window side. Beautiful girl and boy sat opposite to me. Their friend said that not to worry, everything is under control. I felt like they both had run away from home. I could not find wedding ring on their fingers. They looked horrified but as the train moved at two o clock, I could read freedom and happiness on their face.

     Both of them were telling each other how much they love each other. I was disappointed that she already found her partner. They were love birds. They had run away from home with help of friends. Friends will be always there with us for such conditions. Few years before I remember that, I had crushes just to impress my friends. Both of them kept on talking and I looked outside window enjoying the rain hearing everything quietly.

At seven train passed through Calicut. It slowed down and stopped somewhere in dark. Train glued on rail for hours.  Therefore, I enquired the matter and came to know that two bodies had found on the railway track. Train will not move unless the bodies are moved away from the tracks. Gossip already started to spread like virus. It was a boy and girl and they suicide because everyone was against their love.

   I did saw couple of events about love today. Everyone have his or her own love story. Some may have happy endings, some may end up in rails. Some says that true love stays forever and some others says that true love is a tragedy. We cannot predict it, because that is love. Everyone will have it once in your life. It’s the best feeling you will ever feel in your life.

    As the train moved, me still looking outside window enjoying the rain and hoping that my real love story is yet to come.
