Write a story about a time-train.

A short story:

A traveller was waiting on the aisle of the platform of the station for his partner. For ages he was travelling solely around the world with no partner.He was quite outburst with happiness. For the first time he was going to have a partner.

Because while travelling in unknown places a partner works as a strength booster in hardships while travelling. He was holding the ticket in his hand waiting for his partner. Different train arrival and departure timing was being announced. He was waiting for the announcement for his train. And atlast his wait was over he heard the announcement of the train It was arriving 15minutes later. But this time he was little bit nervous hearing the announcement because his partner has still not arrived his heart was throbbing with every seconds of the arrival of the train. He was getting more nervous. And then 15 minutes passed but still his partner didn't arrive and the train was right infront of him. He was trying to call his partner but his partner was not answering. The train stopped at the station for five minutes and it left right infront of his eyes. He felt like a fire crossed right above his heart. He was shattered and worried why his partner didn't arrived and not answering calls. He could have boarded the train but he tend to wait for his partner. He sat on the seat nearby the platform. He was left with a blank minded thinking what could have happened.

But suddenly after a quarter past hour he heard his name calling from a distant. He lifted his head and saw his partner approaching he was quite happy to see his partner. He thought he would book the following day train and spend time with his partner. As his partner came he asked his partner for something to eat but his partner refused. His partner just handed him a note and left and didn't even given him time to enquire what is the reason behind missing the train. And his partner left, he opened the note there was written only a sorry. He was left shocked and heartbroken . In anger and distress he tore those tickets. As his partner was leaving he was holding a sorry note on one hand and on the other hand the torn pieces of the tickets. He just saw his partner leaving in a black car from a distant.

What could have happened did someone forced his partner or intentionally his partner missed the train?But his partner had choices his partner could have refused when all plannings were done.

But the traveller remained a sole traveller again. The wait was all in vain. He could have boarded the train if he had little bit assumption when it was already late and when he had no answers of the calls. Atleast he could have been saved from this heartbreak. Atleast his travelling would made him relieve from the toils. If he could have received that sorry note later but his travelling would have reduce his pain to some extent...
