Read Little Hearts Page 4

he wrote long time ago. It was making him think of Rishma again for a while. Then he kept the book in his bag and started to prepare lunch. Then Sneha came, they had their lunch. She said by this weekend she was about to go Chennai for uncle's house warming ceremony. She asked him to join her but refused to go with her. She left his house. He was sitting alone, then he thought it’s been long time since he had seen everyone there in Chennai, so he said her the next day that he was coming with her to Chennai. Then it was the night they were about to leave. The train was to leave the pace by 9pm, it was 7pm and he was still in office. Then he reached home late and took his bag, went station by 8.50pm. She was screaming at him as he was late and train was about to leave. Then they entered inside the train, she was allotted for a seat in one compartment and he was allotted in the next one. The train started, he was sitting near the window and started to hear music. After a while he took his bag and peeped inside weather he could get something else, he found his book and started to read it and thinking of those days. Then after three hours the train stopped in a junction. It was Salem, he was looking at the book and he wished to see Rishma at least once. Then train started, few minutes later he was feeling thirsty, did not have water bottle in his bag. Then he thought of getting it from Sneha. He went to the next compartment which was dark, as it was late night and the lights were off. He went near her seat, her seat was exchanged by the one who boarded in the past junction. He tapped the girl who was sleeping up. The girl was in deep sleep and just turned a bid without seeing him, she slept again. He was shocked as it was Rishma. His heart throbbed for a while. He wasn’t able to stand there, just ran towards his seat thinking of her and was asking himself what should be done now. Then he took the book that he had written and thought of keeping it near her without her knowledge and to give her a surprise by the time she wakes up. He went and placed the book near her legs then went near the door thinking how magical it was to see her in this train. Then the next junction had arrived, he got down from the train to get water, he never wanted to disturb Sneha even she was in sleep. He bought a water bottle and just turned a bid and there in the next platform he saw a shop with "Little hearts" cookies packs that was hanging in a shop, he ran towards the next platform and bought the cookies, as it was Rishma’s favorite cookies. But train had left the junction before he could come. He was in tensed, had no idea how to get back in train. He took a deep breathe inside and then planned to make use of this situation in a good way. He thought of making Sneha to talk with Rishma and find where Rishma was going for. So he made a call to Sheha, she wasn’t able to hear her phone ringing as there was noise made by train, she attended only after the third call that Prasad had done. She attended the call, he said " Don't get panic I missed the train in the past junction. You just go, continue the journey it would become late for your uncles house warming ceremony but do me a favor, just go and take my bag from my compartment and keep with you. Let me get from you later". He thought anyhow Rishma is going to read his book and will come to know that he was in train by the night and kept the book beside her so he doesn't want Sneha to know about this love and make it confused. So he also said her that "The girl sleeping above her seat was one his relative and she had left Chennai long before, just try to get information about the girl where she is going and for what, without saying it was me who wanted to ask these." Sneha was nervous and confused about what he said, but she knew that he missed the train. So after few minutes of confusion, went to his seat and took his bag and came back. She wasn't able to sleep, was sitting for a while and the train was going very fast, the suddenly the book had slipped and fell down. Sneha saw the book, just took the book but did not open and kept that inside a last zip of the bag that Rishma and a girl had bought with them. It was Rishma's sisters bag. She was coming with Rishma. Sneha forgot to ask about what Prasad had asked for. She reached Chennai by the next morning and went to attend the house warming ceremony. Prasad had been thinking whether Rishma would have read the book or not, whether she will accept his love after reading that book at least. He went to his house by noon as he got the next train late. Then he made a call to Sneha's mobile, but she did not attend as she was busy after the house warming ceremony and she did not had her mobile with her. On the other side Rishma had come for the college admission of her sister, after it got over they had spend time till evening as their train was by night. Rishma and her sister had reached Rishma’s friend’s house, which was the house owner's daughter who came Chennai after her marriage. Rishma , her sister and the house owners daughter, three of them were busy in talking in kitchen. There was a small boy was playing inside the house, it was their neighbors kid. He was number one among all naughty little kids in the apartment. He saw whether the guest who had come bought something to eat. So he started to see everything inside the bag that they bought with them, he found a book in the last zip of the bag and took it with him took it with him as he wanted to do "paper rockets", and his mom never allowed to do it with any of his book. Prasad knew nothing what was going on, he was getting tensed that Sneha never attended his calls. Then few minutes later he had a call but it was Sushma, she asked him to come to her house as soon as possible. Then he went there with his temper over Sneha. He reached Sushma's house, saw her boy crying. He ran towards him took him in his shoulders and asked him "Did mom beat you ! Don't worry lets fight back with her". Hearing his voice Sushma came running said him that "My son was playing with some “Papers Rockets” inside his room, I entered his room saw those paper to find which book he tore. It was written in that 'The boys are still playing and the old ones still walking , but the college bag and big black mobile are still missing there ', then I saw it was the book it was the one, that you wrote.  So I made a call to you. I asked him where he took but he did not reply, I scolded him then he started to cry". Then Prasad took him to the balcony wiped his tears made him cool then asked who gave the book to him. Then he showed a girl, who was peeping outside the balcony that was in the either side of the balcony that he was standing, Then the boy said "I took from her bag". It was Rishma's sister in that balcony. Then Prasad ran to the next house, knocked the door Sushma followed him as he was running out of her house. The door opened, House owner's daughter was shocked seeing Prasad, she asked “how did you find my house”, Prasad did not reply her, he was in a shock seeing Rishma sitting inside. Rishma was shocked seeing him entering inside with the house owner’s daughter. Then every situational impact came to an end. Everyone had a talk for a while, then doubts that came to a conclusion. Sushma and house owner’s daughter made everything clear for what happened there before. Then after few minutes Rishma and Prasad went to the balcony. They had a talk, spoke everything that they wanted to say from their bottom of the heart. She felt sorry for that, which happened long time before. The reason beside everything that happened was because of a little heart that was hiding inside her heart, that made her to hide the love that she had and making the truth to disappear. Then they made a perfect decision and started a love life again. Then it was getting late for her train. He went out for a shop bought two packs of "Little hearts" cookies again. One was in the hand of the small boy who made start his love story again. The other one was in her bag, like the past he kept it inside without her knowledge, he was again the same college boy like his past, he couldn't hear anything but her voice, couldn't think of anything than her.
