Travelling has always been an adventure, particularly when you are under the service of Indian Railways. Here is a story about a guy who was travelling from Varanasi to Dehradun in a train and was accompanied by a girl to share the berth as it was an RAC ticket. And, to be specific, it was, "RAC 69."
For all those who don't know about an RAC ticket, RAC stands for Reservation Against Cancellation. In such condition a berth is divided into two equal seats and is shared by two people, both having the same RAC ticket number. Well in our case it was RAC 69 ;)
Robin Sharma, 21 year old, B.Tech 3rd year student, boarded his train from Varanasi at 8:15 AM. It was an AC 3 Tier coach. Being a December morning it was cold and foggy, he arranged his luggage and then took his seat. Looking at his watch as the train was about to leave in next 10 minutes, he was exploring the people around him. Wishing that he may find a "beauty" near by to pass the 22 hour journey.
With a tangy mind he was wishing that the other person with him on the RAC ticket shall not come, and hence he may have the entire berth. The train was about to leave in next 2 minutes, when suddenly he saw a cute 5'3" ft. tall, wearing a Red hooddy and a yellow cap, tired and exhausted girl carrying a bag of almost half of her height and double or her width.
Girl: (In an Exhausted voice), Well, I have a RAC 69, birth no. 23.
Boy: Well, Me too .. (Luckily) ... :)
She was desperately trying to find a place to push that bag, just then Robin stood up and helped her and they both took their seats.
Train was moving at its hallmark pace, people were trying to settle down, and talking in an artificially lowered voice, trying to maintain some impossible kind of decorum may be because it was a AC 3 Tier coach.
They broke the silence,
Robin: Till where you would be going ?
Girl: Dehradun ..... !!
Robin: WOW ! I will also be going till dehradun. What's your name ?
Girl: (In a confident voice) Laiba Aftab ... !!
Then the talks continued, both recited there stories of how they got a RAC and were very thankful that atleast they got a seat, but inside both were wishing that if the other person would have been missing it would have been their entire berth, as it usually happens in an RAC ticket.
Laiba was pursuing BBA and it was her 3rd year. After some time, all the general topics of chit-chat were over. Probably they were thinking what should they talk about now ? OR Probably they were thinking, should they even talk now ... :/
There were eye contacts, smiles were exchanged, both were looking outside the window, girl tucked in her ear phones and closed her eyes. Boy, habitually started examining her.
She was wearing blue slippers with blue socks, a black jeans, white T-shirt and a red Hood. Well, and the yellow colored cherry, her cap. A soft, light, natural gloss, and traditionally, those witchy nails, painted with a light green nail paint.
What could all this signify: She portrayed herself as a very cool, "happy going" kind of girl. She was cute, obviously. She portrayed herself as a very confident and strong girl, but she was really very weak inside. The way she wasn't bothered about her phone, she was attending calls right in front of Robin, her tone was normal on phone, as it was during conversation with Robin. Hence, She was single. The way she was looking outside, with that agony in eyes, she does have some memories and they don't seem very healthy.
Around 12 PM train reached Pratapgarh. Robin went our to buy something to eat. Train was on its way, Robin offered her lays, cold drinks. Certainly, now they had something to chat on, It all started from favorite eatables. Fast foods, ice creams, sweets, vegetables, then came the favorite restaurants in Dehradun.
Significantly, as they were travelling, discussion shifted to favorite hill stations, to Musoorie, to Tiger Fall, to night outs and so on ..
Both were hostelers, so they went on to some typical hostel talks. Night outs, friends, Food, Wifi, she shared some of those experiences, typical Girl's hostel ones. And he "tried" to share some typical boy's hostel type of experiences.
They bought Food for lunch, the girl kept on complaining about the packing, smell and hygiene, No doubt she was a BBA student. The guy complained about the quality and taste of food, Certainly, he was a B.Tech student. ;)
Laiba took out her laptop, she excused herself to watch "Vampire Diaries", Robin felt offended, he took out his laptop and started watching "Game of Thrones" ;). Well, we can't say what happened, but just after half an hour, Laiba closed her laptop, saying that she was getting bored. Obviously, then robin has to shut down his, much interesting episode.
To continue talking, Robin asked her about the features of the laptop, Laiba came out with a typical girly answer, "I don't know much about it, my cousin brother selected this for me .... " :/
Robin took her laptop, and checked out the features, and told her some very important and basic features. She murmured, "B.Tech Wala hai ... !!". He kinked, "BBA Wali hai ... !!"
It was around 6 o'Clock, the sun was pondering around the end of Sky, Laiba, again became calm and quiet. Like those dark lips were trying to talk to the sky, her eyes, were trying to hide those tears. They ordered coffee to welcome the evening. Finally Robin asked, "Do you have a BoyFriend .. ?"
She suddenly looked into his eyes, and bluntly said, "No !".
Robin asked, "Are you all right ?"
Laiba: Perfectly fine ...
After few minutes of silence, she turned towards him, looking at his coffee, she asked him, "What about you ... !!", with an unnecessary blushing smile he said, "NO .. I don't have a girfriend, I am single .. "
She continued, "Why ? Have you never been into a relationship ... !!"
Robin: "Well, I have been into 2, but none of them lasted long, like they were kind of causal."
Laiba: (In a serious and complaining tone) How can a relationship be casual.. What do you mean by a casual relationship ... !!
Robin: I mean we were not ready, or you can say that we were not made to be together, I broke up as soon as I realized it ..
Laiba: (In a strong and sarcastic voice) That's the problem with you guys ..
Robin couldn't take this, he strongly responded back, What's wrong with you, It's perfectly obvious that two people may realize that they are not meant for each other, and peacefully breakup. And it's not my fault if you have some bad experiences with some boys, I know what I am, I am not like them, and you don't know me yet.
After minutes of silence, Robin realized that he has spoken too much, he bought a fruit cake and offered her. She refused, Robin said, "Did you noticed that the color of the cherry of this fruitcake and your nose is exactly the same ... ". She blushed .... And Robin, "Apologized... "
After few minutes, he directly asked her, "So what is it all about, who was this guy, and why are you so much disturbed with him ... "
She explained, "They were in a relationship for almost 15 months, he was her first love, and probably the last till date. Suddenly he started ignoring her, and one day he told her that he wants to breakup, Because it wasn't working anymore. She asked for reasons, she cried for nights, pleaded him, so he came back. But again it was like never before. One day she found out that he was cheating on her, with her best friend. That day, she slapped him, and broke up. And has never looked behind after that .. "
Well, Robin, offered her water, she was about to break into tears. her hands were shivering, he holded her fingers tightly. Then he started cracking jokes about a bengali aunty sitting next to them, in the compartment, doing her hairstyle and applying lipstick at around 8 PM at night. Well, Laiba again started smiling, Robin, took away the moment and changed her mood.
They ordered dinner, and after having food, then didn't know what to do. They wanted to talk, Both Of Them, rather they wanted to do something together, like anything. She suggested to watch "Game of Thrones", as firstly she has never watched it and secondly he kept on praising about it throughout the way. BUT, Can Robin take the risk to watch it with a girl, whom he has met just 12 hours before. ;) [Due to the kind of content it offers ..]. He smartly changed the theme, and with a heavy heart said, "Well today I am in a mood to watch Vampire Diaries, If you won't mind." And why would a girl mind watching "Vampire Diaries".
Actually, TV series was just an excuse to stay awake together, Both of them wanted to spend time with each other, both of them wanted to talk ..
Noticeably a single episode took 3 hours to complete, because there was less watching and more talking ..
" Night was dark and full of Pleasures ... ;/ ", They were close, together, and most importantly they liked the way in which each one of them was talking to each other. Suddenly the topics, shifted. Talks became intimate. They discussed about rain, they talked about Kisses and they mentioned Sex.
It was around 1 o'clock at night. Another episode got kicked off, They were openly flirting, rather sweetly flirting, cuddling, teasing, pinching ... My god, what was happening ..
Boy looked into her eyes, night was silent, train was moving faster than ever before, he softly whispered, "You are beautiful". She replied, "You are sweet", he smartly took over, "How do you know, have you ever tasted me ... !!" She lowered her eye lids and said, "Well, I would like to ... !!"
Robin approached her, she bent downwards, made herself comfortable, he holded her face into his palms, and kissed on her forehead ... And he moved back to his place, she looked at him surprisingly, but couldn't say anything. He smiled and said, "You are sweet .. !!"
He wished her goodnight and said that, "We should sleep now, as I want you to remember this night as a sweet memory, and not wake up tomorrow with some regrets ... !! " She smiled, used his lap as her pillow, and lay down. Well, The RAC got confirmed for the girl. She was lying on the whole berth and the guy was sitting at a corner.

They started teasing each other, the basic debate of branches, Girls & Guys, Girly Talks & Guys Talks .. Well it was going awesome. Obviously not the way they expected, it was moving towards a different evening. An unexpected one ...

Boys show that they are bad, they express themselves as rude, emphasize that they don't have room for love and just die for physical satisfaction. But trust me, it's not the case, It never was the case. We respect, We care, We Love ...
