The Train
@theunknownone

Kyoto Station. Everyday, I come here to go to my home in Gifuhashima through the 5:30's train. I work here in Kyoto. It's so hard to travel everyday twice. Specially in the evening when the train is full. I was thinking to move in Kyoto but I'm glad that I didn't . If I moved, I think I wouldn't be able to get a life changer moment.

2nd February. It was a winter evening. I reached the station about 5:15 and was waiting for my train. It was about to dark. The train came and I hopped in. I was surprised to see there was not a single person on my compartment. I was about to think that if I was in the wrong one and then suddenly a girl came running inside. She looked exhausted. Like she had a real hard day. The door closed and the train started moving. Only 2 of us were in that compartment. Suddenly the girl's phone rang and she picked it up. It was her mother and she was explaining how terrible day she had. She couldn't even took a rest for a while and didn't sleep in the last night as well. When she finished talking; I don't know how but some words came out of my mouth. I told her if she could tell me where will she go, I would wake her up and she could sleep. She looked at me with a doubting eyes. I felt a little awkward and told her that I wouldn't mind to wake her up. I told her she could trust me. However, with an ashamed look she told me that she will stop at Maibara station and went to sleep. Oh man!! That face. That sleeping face caught my eyes. Because of her long hair, I couldn't see her face that well but still now I remember how cute she looked. It was like some mesmerising scene was being shown to me. A girl came from heaven and sleeping here in front of me was all I could think. I didn't even moved my eyes from her till Maibara came. I woke her up calling her Miss. She woke up and thanked me for all I did. Still I was not in the reality. She was about to leave. I don't know how I felt that moment when I asked her...
