You’ll never know - (Blog-a-ton 6)

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 6; the sixth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.


The trek was fun. Even tough five out of nine turned up, the whole trip got more enjoyable with the smaller group.  It was already 8 pm. I phoned home as I boarded the train to Mumbai. The most I hate is travelling alone. Since it was dark outside, even watching the passing scenery outside was out of option. So my eyes wandered in the train, trying to pick up anything interesting. Trains & passengers can be very entertaining, my experience says.
 
I didn’t had to go far. The conversation next to me caught my interest. Two guys were talking in low voice.
 
“You know, yesterday I met her. She came to return my books. I wanted to say it to her right away, but I was nervous”
“You are dumbass, see, if you don’t tell her this week, don’t ever talk to me about this. I am sick of your hypothesis. Are you going to do it ?” he made a face as he said it.
 
“Hey, understand ya. You know how she is. Sometimes I feel that I say it, when I’ll tell her that I like her, she might punch me in my face”
 
“You are afraid of her. Ha!”
 
“I think I have only one chance. If I miss it she’s never going to turn her face to me” The train came to a stop, they peeped out of the window and hurried to get down. As they moved, a folded paper fell from the guy’s book. I picked it. Being an express train, most of the people were asleep, I unfolded it.
Hi Rahul,
We  don’t know  each  other  much.  But the  truth  is  that  I  like  you.  I  don’t  know  if  you  feel  the  same. If  so  then  meet  me  tomorrow  at  the  Rastek  cliff.  If you  don’t  turn  up,  I’ll  get  my  answer.
Sheetal.
 
I looked up, almost jumped. But they were gone. He’s not going to meet Sheetal. But what will happen next. Will she talk to him about the letter ever ? Will they come together ? I’ll never know…
 
P.S : The story is piece of fiction based on the prompt pic.

    And after reading this I was like "He mala ka nahi suchla"

    Now I'll scratch my brain for 3.85 minutes and if I come up with something I'll post it!

  13. Hey Megha, that was a nice ending. I like stories with an open end. That way the story lingers on the mind even after reading it. Works well for short stories.
    Liked it very much. Keep writing.
    All the best!
    Cheerios!

    Poor girl, couldn't she send a mail or an SMS? She ought to be counselled on the uses of technology.

    Btw, the starting has a few grammatical errors, please do look into that!
    Cheers :)

  24. Very sweet story but I would like to read the end of it! I thought like Sid at first....pan tine udi marayache chances kami vatatat...She was a brave girl to express her feelings atleast in the note...so she will not jump...Is she the same girl they were talking about?! You will keep me wondering for ever!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Brilliant attempt! I liked the plot althought it was too short! You could have added a few more emotions into the climax. Nevertheless, the fact that you made it short and sweet intrigued me! Keep it up!

  32. The "never-knows" in our life are some of the painful moments. and when you think of this pain, it reminds of this "Sometimes it s harder to deprive one self of a pain than pleasure"

    so the never-knows are a lot of pain- agreed. But we realize and appreciate it only after it is known. not until it remains never-known
