Evenings has its own specaility particularly when it's Evening in Mumbai just like Sun Itself coming down to witness the undisturbed sounds (actually undisturbed )made by punctual Mumbai trains ,rickshaws, coming and going of people footsteps indicates the amount of hardwork those people put in every moment for the better tommorow.


So that specail Evening when I left from the office ,taking Wadapaw was usuall routine for me ,as like I am addicted to it.


Let me tell you I am referring to Prelockdown Era.


That evening after buying the Wadaapaw i walked few steps and rested their under a big 100 years old Tree ,but never figure out which tree it is .


The moment I began to eat Wadapaaw,my attention was totally diverted towards a beautiful Girl,who was looking at me while buying something ,interestingly she came towards me ,as the wadapaaw maker pointed her towards me,


'But why '? I said to myself.


The girl was so beautiful that it just stopped me from eating wadaapaw ,I was nervous,as the girl came near.


"What an awesome Evening it is turning out''?the Girl Said ,cool temperature naa.??


"Yes yes it is feeling good.''I said nervously .


I forgot to concentrate on English and for me temperature has changed into quite different since such a beautiful girl came so near to me.


''Hey by the way which is your favourite thing to eat in Mumbai''she said with gentle smile on her beautiful Face.


I looking at the Wadaapaw then at her.


''I like Wadapaw so much' I said .


'Hahaha me too' she said.


''hey it's not good to eat when hot ''


She added .


Now I little by little I was adjusting with this environment .


'What a beautiful Girl


''Master peice ' I thought inside .


Her beauty made me forget the whole world but the nervousness is still displaying on my Face .


Meanwhile One thing I observed whenever I began to eat Wadapaaw she just insisted me to stop eating Wadapaaw .


she could just talk for fifteen mintues.but wadapaaw still inside the cover .


She looked at her watch


''Hey it's 6:30 Pm.'


''I think I should leave now 'she said.


''Okk ok you can ''i said though I am nervous but still never wanted her to go .


But I can't stop her even my heart never wanted . I thought inside .


''If I can't her going like this means I fell in love but I can't dare to express my feelings '' I said to myself .


As I was lost in my thoughts I couldnot notice when she had left.


Back from my thoughts I was about to leave the place suddenly I saw a Red colour Cotton carry bag lying down ,I was just surprised to see this ,happy inside too that It can take me to her again.


'I dont have words to say you thank you carry bag'' i said while taking carry bag close to my body.


I took a small paper from my pocket wrote my no with my Hopefull lovely Feelings on one side and my Feelings on the other side .


I just rubbed it first many times just to make my hand writing impress her,I put Wadaapaw along with the Paper inside her carry bag and started to find her.


When I started to find the girl I was sad again ...


Oh shit how can find her that too on railway station having no contact of her.

''Don't know even her name so that I can call her name loudly ''


''Wait wait yes I can recognise her she was wearing green colour dress having black handbag .


''What not I remember about her''

Carrying this thought In my mind I went to Airoli station 1.


Thank God not much crowded,but yes the difficult moment and funniest moment is to stay near the ladies compartment and keep staring which girl is in Green dress it was awkward situation because anybody could doubt this ,

I keep looking for green dress and suddenly,


"Hey stranger what are you looking for ''


The voice I heard behind me while someone gently touch my shoulder.


I was shocked little then I turned back saw her ,and infact struck with her little.


'Oh God every boy would Love that moment .'

I thought inside .


''I was looking for you,you have left your carry bag ."


'Oh yes thanks so much 'she replied in thankfull manner.


''I wish we could talk more ''i thought.


'Hey you didn't say your name etc' ?

I tried to ask finally


''I am Aroshi and you ''she said


'I am Ha..a.'' I was about to say .


But soon I can hear the Train coming.



''Oh shit'' 6:30 train.


"Nice to meet you ,I am leaving now Bye bye ''


She said with a captivating smile


The smile which will keep flowing infront of my eyes for long ,the powerfull smile which brought her more close to me and just like the smile rested inside my heart .

Anyways Every one went inside train I was only person walking away with the such enthralling train sound vibrating in my Ears.

'Oh it is too late for me too'.

I rushed towards Towards the ticket counter brought a ticket went back to my home .


Back home I was feeling specail why not as i was waiting for a message from her .


'Who knows will she see or not '


'May be she has not seen yet '


These mixed thoughts keeps me disturbing


Untill I heard a Msg tune.


Oh hello Stranger ,this Is Aroshi.


I was happy to read the message but next what I read was very surprising and shocking for me.


Thank you so much you have kept Wadaapaw inside the carry bag thanks lot ,you know Wadaapaw maker had no more Wadapaw left yesterday.


I upset thinking that how come she couldn't read my expression full of Love .....



I just read and went to sleep without replying any thing.


On other hand Anjali Keep thinking.


'Why didnot stranger Replied ?


''What I have done wrong'


Did I have missed something or I have done something wrong.


Before going sleep she Went down from bed she was wastepaper which she was about to


Put in dustbin ,


While looking closely ,


''Oh the same wadapaw cover''

Turning Paper on the other side


''Oh Their was something more than No but couldn't read properly .



She was not able to read Stranger feelings as


Most of them words were got dissapeard due to oily contents spread by Wadapaaw.


'What it could be?


She keep thinking for sometime and went to sleep .
