LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

It's a story of mine that happened during a train journey. I was traveling to Howrah from Bangalore by Yesvanthpur Howrah Superfast Express in 2nd AC coach. I was returning to my home in Kolkata and was traveling alone. I boarded in train at Yesvanthpur. The journey started, it was 7:35 pm so, I already had dinner in the food court at Yesvanthpur. I was preparing to sleep on the upper birth. Then the next stoppage came, Bangarapet Junction, few people boarded there. Among them, one person boarded was having reservations on birth in front of me. I couldn't see him clearly because it was 8:15 pm and I was trying to sleep. But what I could see was, he was tall with gym body but not too bulky and a bit fair. 

As he boarded, he started preparing to sleep and went to sleep. And when he was sleeping I couldn't get my eyes off from him as he was facing toward me. He was looking too damn handsome, with his long nose, long hair with a dark beard. I wanted to kiss him on his dark brown lips. He was looking very hot, now I was just waiting for the next morning so that I can talk to him and know him more. 

The next morning when I woke up, I couldn't find him on his birth, I broke from inside. Because I wanted to know about him, atleast his name. But now I can't do anything, so I went to the toilet to freshen up myself. When I came back and found him sitting on lower birth. Now I felt relief and was thanking God for not letting him go. And so, I also sat on lower birth at my side. Now we were facing each other, I wanted to talk to him but couldn't find how to start. After a few moments, he asked me about me, then again I thanked God that atleast we started a conversation. After introducing myself I asked about him. He introduced himself as Aniket Banerjee, Mechanical Engineer, working at a Multi-National Company in Bangalore, going to his home in Kolkata. I felt happy that he will be traveling upto Howrah with me. 

By conversation I was having more stronger feeling for him, as he was very smart, having a good sense of humor with good intelligence and physique. He was attractive by his look as well as by his personality. Any girl will attract very easily, although he had a girlfriend still my feeling for him was getting more stronger. We exchanged contact numbers and became friends on Facebook started following on Twitter and Instagram. We had lunch and dinner together even we shared food from the same plate. We became a good friend and was comfortable with each other. We were cracking jokes at each other, sometimes he was flirting with me. Now after having dinner we went to sleep on our respective birth. 

The next morning we woke up as our destination station was nearby and I was feeling broken from inside as we were going to separate. We freshen up ourselves, and then again we started a conversation. He invited me to his marriage, as he was getting married next week, again this broke me more. I assured him to meet him at his marriage. After a few moments we reached Howrah Station, it was 6:45 am. We get off from the train and he called his girlfriend who was waiting for him at the platform. He introduced me to his girlfriend as Suman Roy and shook hand with a smiling face but from inside I was totally broken but couldn't express. And then we started walking together towards the exit.
