chapter 21: journey and music

Start from the beginning
                                    

" Why does it matter, we both are too different"

" What made you think that , I don't think it matters as long as you like her . If you don't remember I was the one who helped you in the start by going on Disha's wedding with you and Rudra .

If I thought it wouldn't work I wouldn't have helped you . You are better than any of the guys she had been with "

"Thanks but .... Shit the train is leaving" Madhav said and we both started running towards the train.

Rudra was standing at the gate and gave us a hand to help us in the train .
It felt like a Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) moment

" What a run " Madhav said laughing, we both were out of breath

" What a run " Madhav said laughing, we both were out of breath.

" I have never done that " I said laughing too .

" First time for everything" Madhav said giving me a big smile .

.......
" You both meet in the train right " Madhav said looking at me and Rudra .

"Yeah, it feels like a long time ago now" I said remembering the day .

" You said you meet an idiot on the train when we talked on phone after you reached Banaras" Seema said putting me between a rock and a hard place. She should get a award for being best friend.

" What " Madhav said confused at Seema's statement.

" He acted like one in the train and then we had a argument , I was angry"  I said justifying my action.

" What did he do "

I ended up telling them the full story but I couldn't help but notice that Rudra was awfully quite the entire time.

.....

" Will you sing something"
" Sure "

We were waiting for Mr. Singer aka Madhav to sing something. He was sitting next to Rudra while I and Seema were on the opposite sites.

He started singing Aao milo chalo from the movie jab we meet.

Seema looked at me as the song started. The man was singing her favorite song from her favorite movie.

We saw this movie and we both were in love with it . We always watched it whenever we had a movie night.

" You have a nice voice" Seema said to Madhav and he was blushing.

I looked at Rudra and he couldn't stop smiling at Madhav's expression.

"Yaar you sang her fav song now my turn " I said

" It's your favorite song " he asked looking at Seema .

She nodded at his question.

They started talking and I felt like they forgot we exist( me and Rudra ) . I looked at him and gave him a thumbs up in being successful in our mission.

We was quite but better now , we were talk but sometimes was wrong. I was confused.

" So Shalini what is your fav song" I was back with Madhav's question.

....

" Rudra where are the cards " Madhav asked . He was tired of singing and wanted to play cards .

" In my bag "

" Let's play" he said after finally finding the cards

" I don't know how to play" Seema said

"Do you know how to play" he asked me

I replied with a " no "

" Seema you can be in my team and Rudra and Shalini can be together " Madhav said

" Fine " Seema said and sat next to Madhav leaving space for Rudra next to me

The guys were playing but also telling and teaching us the game .

To be honest I understood nothing , thank God Rudra was not a teacher or all the students might fail .

....

" We win" Madhav and Seema said after the final move.

" I am tired now can we sleep" I said after looking at the cards on the train table.

" I am tired too" Rudra said following a yawn

" I am talking the top bed " Seema said

" Me too" Madhav followed

So the lights were out . I and Rudra were parallel to each other while Madhav and Seema were in the upper
berths .

I looked at Rudra who was seeing something on his phone , his phone light was too bright.

" Need help" I heard his voice

I nodded saying no and smiled at him and in first time in the whole day he smiled back .

I am having déjà vu .
