The Essence of Love - Arshad Ali
Prologue
Unfortunately, she was travelling for the first time from Guwahati to Kolkata in a train, all alone, to attend her best friend’s wedding. As soon as she entered the three tier AC coach, she found that she was going to spend the night on the side upper berth of the coach. No, she didn’t think she is going to climb up to sleep that night. She decided to ask the person who will be sitting on the lower berth to sleep on her berth. But where is that stranger? Will the stranger allow her to sleep in his or her own berth?
She started looking here and there to find that stranger. Only 15 minutes were left for the departure of the train, but the stranger was not in yet. She found herself with a Bengali family and one Assamese man inside the compartment. But they were settled on their own seats. The train started gathering its speed when the stranger entered the compartment, struggling to pull his luggage inside; holding a guitar on his back, and an earphone attached to his ears. When she saw him, she thought it would be easy for her to convince that guy if he was the stranger she was looking for, because he looked like to be of her own age. He was coming forward, holding his ticket, and moving his head to the beats of the music. Finally, he found his berth where she was sitting but, without noticing her, he kept his luggage and went towards the exit door. As he didn’t returned for a while, she turned back to see that he was standing near the door, enjoying the wind. After almost an hour, he returned and sat in front of her with those earphones still attached to his ears. She was finding it hard to bring the topic of exchanging the seat in front of him, as he was enjoying each beat of music with closed eyes.
Seeing the Do not disturb
board reflecting from the face of the stranger, she too decided to maintain the silence by reading a novel. She took out the novel, and they both maintained the silence for the next two hours. It was about 8.45 pm when the ticket taker came and asked the stranger for his ticket. The stranger came out from his world, and showed the ticket. By that time, everybody inside the compartment has already managed their berth to spend the night, except the stranger and her. She thought it’s time to ask him for the exchange, but he was busy taking out his guitar from its cover. So she decided not to leave the seat until and unless the stranger asked her to do that, and continued with her novel. But, soon she came out from her book, as she felt the music from the guitar inside her. She closed her eyes to listen to the music
, which was breaking the silence inside the compartment. Her eyes were closed, and a smile was reflecting from her face when the stranger noticed her.
So, you believe in Love?
asked the stranger. No, not exactly; it was never my cup of tea, but you plugged those strings well.
She replied. So, that means you have never been in love before.
The stranger enquired. I have been into relationship, but never made it out.
She replied with a smile.
The discussion continued while they both had their dinner. The stranger didn’t agree to her request of exchanging the seat, but he offered her to exchange the seat.
Anyway, tell me what you do? Are you a musician?
She asked the stranger. With a smile, and a silence for a while, he replied, I am a storyteller
. That word made her a little confused, and she asked, What kind of story do you have?
Well, it actually depends upon the person who is listening to it
he replied. So, what kind of story do you have if I would be your listener?
she continued. In your case, I have my own story, but I think I should vacant my seat now for you to sleep,
he replied, standing up to relocate his luggage. No, I will like to listen to your story if you are not feeling sleepy. Are you feeling sleepy? She enquired.
No, I am not, he replied removing his shoes. Folding her legs, she asked again,
So tell me, what is your story? Who are you?
Who am I?
Life has three big reasons to live: Past, Present and Future. Every person is born with a destiny, and I too was born with a destiny. But the problem is I don’t know what my destiny is. So, here it goes...
December 2005, I was all set to join my school as my winter vacations were about to end. Well, the truth is I was scared for the coming year inces I was promoted to the 10 th Standard. Lots of pressure for the coming year and, very soon, I was going to find myself inside a pressure cooker. I didn’t have any other way to skip the coming year. And, when it comes to school, it was a different world for every person who faced school life. During those days of ours, we had some self made rules in our school, and the rules were as follows.
Girls and Boys – Tom and Jerry.
