A 7 Hills walk lead us to 7 Steps of Marriage!!!

We returned back to our seats and started to exchange looks @ 20 or 30 times/min.. :D After 10mins or so, I realized that her father is looking at me,straight at ME!..as if I'm eating his piece of cake.. :O I was puzzled and didn't know what to do..so gave him a sheepish smile and started looking out of window humping some stupid song. Meanwhile, she saw me being caught by his dad,and started to giggle looking at me. I smiled at myself and secretly looked at her dad..he's looking straight into my eyes. O god! he caught me this time. "Hello! where are you going?" he asked. "Hiiiiii uncle! I'm heading to Trivandrum. You?" I enquired casually. "Chennai, do you know at what time this train reaches chennai?" he enquired. "I guess, by morning 6 or so.. You live in chennai?" I queried at her and she shook her head. Her dad did the same, "No, we are from Bangalore. We need to catch another train from there" he said. "Oh ok..", I'm not sure, how to continue the discussion further. "What are you doing currently? I'm studying or working?" he asked " Actually, I'm in between both.. going for training to Trivandrum for TCS" I said proudly. "Oh software job haa.. It's very common these days, all the youth is on it now-a-days.. living for only themselves and serving other nation. Personally I hate it" he flushed all his rage at a time. I'm dumbstruck, and I'm not sure whether to agree with him or go against. I just gave a nerd smile and glanced away. To continue the talk, I asked him "what's your profession uncle?" when she gave me a warning look. I didn't understand it, and her father gave a reply which made me tremble.."I'm a retired army man! who fought in Kargil war!!!" :O She caught my wide-opened fearful eyes and giggled. Oh God! why the hell, every possible worse thing happens to me only! I was just thinking how lucky I'm to see her again and now she's the daughter of an Army man..who hates my profession :( "Cool pradeep..cool! Still a lot to happen, you have to get her number..talk to her..and confirm that she doesn't have a boy friend..and she should like me! then I should bother about her father. A looooooong way to go pradeep, so be cool and don't bother her father..mother..or her caste and all. We'll take care of them later" I said to myself. "Our mission is to get her number or give mine. Nope, giving my number doesn't worked well last time(When I threw my number written in a paper & she didn't pick it). I'll somehow try giving mine only" thoughts ran in my mind, like an old film real..thinking of every stupid possibility to make my "Mission Accomplish". Meanwhile, it was dinner time..and I was about to open lot of boxes hat mom has packed for dinner as if 3 or 4 people has too eat it. Watching me, they also unpacked their dinner. Don't know what was wrong, except her.. her mom & My love story's villain closed their nose and was searching from where that smell was coming. I'm not sure what was wrong and everything seemed perfectly alright for me. Then , I realized they were looking at my box, which contains prawns, and mutton curry. Oops! I immediately glanced at my jaan, looking out for some help..then she played her hand over her neck symbolizing that "U are DEAD" and giggled. I don't know what to say, "Umm.. you don't eat non-vegetarian uncle?" , I tried to ask casually. "No! We don't!! though we are not brahmins.." he took a deeep breath and started to tell his adventurous, jaw dropping action packed falseback sorry, flashback "When I was in kargil, fighting against pakistan 's army..I saw blood flowing like river..I saw people dying in my hands. Then I pledged that, I never hurt anything and anyone. So, I resigned and came back from army after we won the war!" I thought of saying, " U must be kidding uncle. You fought with humans but why did you stop eating chicken and mutton funny!" but i didn't..gave him a tough look and a salute and said, "Great job!" . Now, I'm not sure what to do with all the non-veg packed by mom. I can't throw them, as I love it! I went to the side berth, which was a bit away from them and started to have my dinner and dreaming of how bad my future could be, If somehow we are into relation..... No non-veg..strict rules..no computer..definitely no parties or pubs! I finished dinner and went to wash hands..seeing my face in the mirror I thought, what kind of luck do you have idiot! The moment I turn back, she was right infront of me, laughing :D Before I could say something, her father was about to come over. So, I left from there and called home, talked about my journey & said will reach the next day afternoon to trivandrum. It was about 9.30pm and everyone started to fix their berths and going to sleep.There are 2 old people, so I adjusted to move on to Upper berth leaving lower & middle berth to them. It was rainy season and it started raining heavily, which made me shiver with cold, as we are in 2nd class compartment. I took a deep breath and turned sideways. I thought I'll find my villain, but I found my heroine staring at me :O. O my gosh! she looks gorgeous, in the dim light..white dress..dressing her black her and looking at me. Hmmmmm...what a feeling this was! Heat in my body neutralized the cold weather around me :D The rhythmic train sound started to play rehman's background music for our romantic scene going on between us. I wanna go and hug her..but just below there was the villain of my story, probably with big mustache..military dress with a big gun running behind me..that thought shattered my dreams. If I try talking to her & to share her my number or try taking hers..her father might watch that :( So, it was just like having heaven in front of me but was stopped by the stupid Gate-keeper :'( . So, I has nothing to do..except just looking into her eyes for seconds..minutes..and hours. We kept on starring at each other and I don't know when I slept... Qwweeeeeek.. train halted suddenly and the jerk woke me up and she was not there on my opposite berth. Oh shit! did Chennai came or what. I woke up very tense fully and jumped down. Which scared her mother who is reading newspaper. It was 6am and we are in the outskirts of chennai. I felt relaxed and smiled sheepishly at aunty and said a funny sorry to her. But I couldn't find my sweet heart..as and when I thought of her she came into the scene. She went for a face-wash i guess, came with a towel with her front hair wet and was falling over her face. What a beautiful thing to see, as soon as I woke up I thought :) She came and sat infront of me, near the window. "At what time train will chennai?.....Uncle" I asked to her and looked at uncle. "May be in 10mins, i guess", she replied. Heart came into my mouth "10 mins! Only 10 mins :O after that she will get off and i can never contact her again" my mind started to panic and warned me. What now? What now? I kept on thinking and asking myself. She also looked puzzled. But with her hands she is trying to tell me..and show me something. But I'm not able to figure it out. Train headed fastly towards the station and I could see the platform too. I sadly looked at her, she was showing some book in her hand and signalling to look up with her fingers. But it was time up! I quickly grabbed a pen and a piece of paper scribbled my number on it. "Hi! can I look at that India today book?" I asked her. "Yea sure..." she gave it to me without hesitating. I showing her that piece of paper & kept it inside that book and flipped some pages acting that I'm reading something and gave it back to her and said thanks! She gave a heartful smile back to me and happily packed all her things. But, still she was signalling something but I was not sure what that was about. Train halted and they stood up to leave. I also took water bottle emptied it and showed them, that I has to refill it and followed them onto the platform. They said bye.. and walked off. I stood there, watching them walk off..when she turned back, and gave a lovely smile and said "bye" with her eyes.. and she disappeared. I went back to my seat and was expecting that she might call or message me at anytime. But, I'm dumbstruck to see that the piece of paper, the only thing which could make unite us..is lying down on the floor. Shit! It fell of from that book..I ran towards the door with that paper, but by that time..the signal was green and train took off. I stood at the door step looking at that piece of paper, which was dancing to the wind and it finally flew off from my hand. "This is T.H.E E.N.D!!!! definitely" I thought. (Definitely... to be continued.............)
