Chapter 9 The Verge Of Accident
Karnataka express hurling slowly out of station and gaining speed at every minute being a speed train the signals always green.
Other trains may be red signalled but not Karnataka express.
It was hurling at about 100 km per hour. Sunaina sat up looking at her beautiful daughters she looked at Ashok like her, he too was totally exhausted from the few days of activity he couldn't fanthom why his mother was so against Sunaina.

He tried to find answers to his questions but of no avail he knew he had to protect his wife and daughters he had no enmity with any one, why with his family?

He looked fondly and with love with his 2 daughters caught Sunaina hand and reassured her that all is going to be well but was personally not sure about it.

He had an impending suspicion that his mother knew about his where abouts but did not know what to do.

He looked at Sunaina their eyes locking in deep love and she wanted to say something to him suddenly one of the daughters started to cry hearing this the second one too woke up and started crying.

They had to stop their wails other passengers were getting annoyed cause it was bout 10 in the night and most of them preparing to sleep.

He had got a bottle of Chivas Regal wanted to have a swipe of it to cool his nerves but knew it was not legal to drink in train.

He was tensed and wanted to relax himself but he got up hugged his daughters together and suddenly they stopped crying he was surprised but Sunaina looked at him with a smile and happiness like See They Know Who You Are.

It also gave him a feeling which he had not felt before the feeling of compassion of protection to Sunaina and his 2 daughters.

Suddenly he asked Sunaina what should or shall call them with out thinking Sunaina said we name them JANAKI and PANCHALI.

That is how their names were christened in the train and Ashok really liked both the names.
