Together to Delhi
There were a couple Arab and Ayesha who were being in a relationship for 3years and were on counting.
Both were very adequate for each other and close enough towards their own attitude. They both kind-hearted I would say.
Arab had introduced his love Ayesha to his family members after their one-year togetherness.
Arab and his sister’s family were staying in Delhi after his sister's marriage.
Arab had come to his native place or you can say hometown after so long time to see his family and to meet with his love Ayesha.
They both had a very good time together.
Both Arab and Ayesha explored many places and had a journey to the different cities of Odisha together while on that vacation.
Each and every meet and the moments created were precious for both of them in fact Arab was noting down the memories in his personal diary.
After some days Arab had to return to Delhi for his own work and studies there.
He had booked the return tickets along with his sister.
This would perhaps the last meet of them for that vacation; Arab had come to meet Ayesha just the day before his outstation.
They had a pretty well-spent day together on the famous beach near the hometown.
While returning to home Arab dropped Ayesha at her room and had asked:
“Will you come to Delhi with me please?”
Ayesha was just gone silent for a moment and then she said yes.
Then with no time, Arab had informed about her joining, to his family with a smile on his face.
He was so happy for the girl’s agreeing.
And the very next day, there was their train to Delhi at dawn at 3 a.m.
Ayesha was staying at her rented house with some of her classmates.
She just confirmed from them and had happily packed all the needy things with an exciting face thinking that she could spend some more time with her love Arab there on their journey.
Ayesha went to Arab's house the next day evening, as the train was at midnight.
She thought that it would be easy to go together to the station.
Finally, both Ayesha and Arab were going to share a long journey of 36hrs and 1800 kilometers together.
The tickets were booked in Hirakud express.
That was the only train connecting the silk city with the vast capital of India, Delhi.
The train usually starts his journey from Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and ends his journey at Amritsar (Punjab).
Due to the timings, the train was quite popular among travelers.
They all Ayesha, Arab, and his family did their dinner together.
The dinner of that night was being prepared by Ayesha and Arab's mother.
Post lunch, they all sat for some time with a discussion then went for a not long sleep.
On sharp 3 a.m. after they freshened up Arab booked a taxi. As his hometown was around 30 km away from the railway station.
On that day the climate was a little chilly outside.
The winter was going to end but still has its last touch on the climate of Odisha.
They had all the necessary things with them and had reached the station before 30 minutes of the arrival of the train.
The station view was awesome you could say, the passengers the less foggy environment the cold dawn the announcement echo, and the company of Ayesha all were in favor of Arab.
The train was at his right time as they were checking out the train status through a mobile application.
The train had just arrived and they boarded with the luggage.
S-8 was their compartment and the birth numbers were 31 and 32 only two out of three reservation was confirmed due to the late booking.
To the luck, the whole compartment was quite empty at that time as that was early morning and the train just started his journey from Vishakhapatnam.
Ayesha and Arab had sat front to front at a side seat near the window with a piece of slow music running in between them.
The scene was so romantic and memorable for both of them.
They had always wanted to have a journey together both love the window seat and the slow music so the circumstance was too touchy and favorable for them.
The running train the soothing wind flow the smile on the less dark compartment the eye contact all was just so romantic you name it.
They were waiting to see the morning view of Chilika Lake at that time.
Chilika Lake is a brackish water lagoon of Odisha on the east coast of India.
The moments were so nice and spent well with the running view of the lake.
Then they had spent some time with peace like no one was there to disturb but was only very good memories.
Just at that time, Ayesha was wishing to the almighty that she could spend the whole life of her like this with Arab.
After a little time, Ayesha went for sleep to the upper birth.
In the morning at 9 o’clock, they did their breakfast that was usually bread and omelet that you will get under the Indian trains.
Ayesha had taken some juices also.
The whole day was running by gossiping & teasing each other and having talks about each other's family members.
Arab ordered the lunch from the train pantry only, though he doesn’t like the train food but had managed somehow to eat that.
The train was gradually welcoming his passengers and up to the evening, the train was quite a rush and crowded.
They both Arab and Ayesha went near the gates of the train in the evening the train was running at high speed nearly about 100kph you can say.
They both sat there over a newspaper as you know the cleanness of the Indian Railway System.
The girl looked at him and said:
“How romantic is this? I mean the cool wind the view the running trees and the panoramic nature that keep following us but couldn’t exceed our compartment.”
“Yes it’s so charming and romantic I would say, Thank you for coming with me such a long way dear.”
Arab replied holding her palm.
“I too wanted to join you baba it’s been a long time you were saying me to come with you.”
Ayesha said again cuddling his chick.
Then they both started looking outside towards the running and beautiful view of nature that was uniting all the trees, the hut, the vast greenery fields, and the golden sunset.
At that perfect moment, Ayesha said Arab to play their favorite romantic song that was “Love me like you do” from a very popular singer.
They tasted the complete sweetness of their evening togetherness.
At around 8:30 the dinner came, that was some Paneer chilly and some paratha.
Arab opened the dinner and they enjoyed with chilled coke bottle.
After dinner, all went for asleep.
As on the train, you don’t have much to do except eating and sleeping irregularly.
In the night Arab and Ayesha had to sleep part by part in a seat as two seats were confirmed.
But who cares?
I mean they were young, they were energetic and in fact, nowadays youngsters don’t feel like sleeping all over the night.
The boy and the girl were sitting together on the upper birth that they have been allocated in the Indian railways iron & speedy moving train.
They had their conversations almost on every aspect that was including their life, career, and college days.
As of February, the month had been started the night was quite cold that too beneath the tin roof of the train.
Ayesha seemed to be sleepy as she has a habit of sleeping while in a conversation with Arab and on that day she was a little tired too.
So Arab let her sleep on his laps.
Just after a moment, she fell asleep.
The boy was continuously looking to her beautiful eyes without a single eye blink.
One was sleeping in another's lap and the other was being awakened and the same thing was going all night like that.
But they both had a wave of peace at that moment also that was shown in their face completely.
Somehow the night spent well.
In the early morning, they had a good sleep somehow on that day.
After a nap, they had some tea in the late morning and had freshened up.
Following some time they had some breakfast that was some bread with boiled eggs and two cups of strong coffee.
Now, the train was going to arrive at Nizamuddin Station at 3 pm that day so they both had little excited and to luck that day the train was running at the right time.
In between any of the train stoppage, both Arab and Ayesha were going out of the train to the platform because both were free souls they wanted to explore the cities as much as possible.
At 1 o clock, the train arrived at Mathura junction the holy soil of Lord Krishna.
Like the other passenger Arab and Ayesha again got down on that station to enjoy some just prepared Indian snacks like samosa and bread chops with a cup of tea.
Looking at people's activity and behavior at the platform and having some snacks there to eat, they both were enjoying the way they could.
The whole day over like that, they had finally reached their destination crossing the long way behind.
Ayesha was some thousands of distance from her native place too and it was a new place for her and both were very happy for their unite journey.
Finally, the two reached Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station; they came with all the memories that had been created by them on the long journey of Indian railway.
At the station in between the crowd, they smiled looking at each other holding the palms of each other.
