Last weak on my way to Bangalor I was traveling with an very interesting man, as the journey was long and I can’t sit without talking, and he was also the same kind. Very soon we became very frank and we wear as if old friends meeting after a long time. And he taught me a great lesson, I’m just going to share the story of my friend’s life in my words by imagine I’m the one.

I met her in Delhi metro.
Delhi days..2018-20
I was attending coaching classes for UPSE in Delhi she was in the same batch as mine. I liked her a lot- yes, she was my crush. Despite getting multiple chances, I couldn't gather enough courage to talk to her. And it remind one sided😁. Course ended at the end of sept,2019. She didn't attend the last class. And I couldn't see her for one last time. I gave up on my possibility of seeing her again. As she used to stay in Anur & my PG was in Nika.
But Destiny had a different plan.
March 2020
We had common Exam center for Exam near Anmola metro station, New Delhi.
I saw her in the exam room, she was seating in the opposite row of mine. I couldn't believe my fate. After the exam, I intentionally followed her.- I was determined not to let go of this opportunity of talking to her. We boarded metro at Anmola for Andul Gate, She got a seat I couldn't. I didn't lose hope.
We changed metro at Andul gate. But this time, I was lucky enough to get a seat beside her, yesss😊😊. It was a 33 minutes journey from Andul to Anur, where she was supposed to end her trip.
I couldn't afford to waste any more time.
And then-
Me- Excuse me.
She- yess..(with a confused look)
Me- So, you were late again.
She- Hello, What do you mean?
Me- I have seen you being late everyday, disturbing a couple of chairs, and then occupying a seat in second row.
She- So, you were in My batch right?
Me- Obviously.
She- But I wasn't in that batch. ( She lied just to check my reaction)
Me- I trust my eyes a lot.
** We both burst into laughter**😂😂
She- I used to be late because I had to travel everyday from Anur to Anmola geat
Me- okay..( pretending as if I didn't know.), But being late everyday?
She started laughing again. I could sense, she wasn't getting bored.
We became frank quickly. (Sorry, I became frank, she was already frank.)
And then friendly conversation began.
she explained how much she regretted leaving a job & getting into preparation.
We discussed about- exams, future career plans etc.etc…
And then the hurting sound came up-
The next station is Anmola geat. Doors will open on the right. Please mind the gap.
She got up quickly and rushed towards gate.
We exchanged smile for the very last time.
At last he said that he had a great desire if he could say her that how much he was happy for just being able to talk to her.
And in this trip we share many stories of our life. In did it was a very memorable journey. And I learned that it’s not important that what you fell for one she or he will also have the same feeling for you. And Lear to be happy in what you have.
