I: Unforgettable Time
Arjun moved out of the AC cabin on the train and stood near the door. Fog formed on his aviator-framed eyeglasses due to a sudden change in ambient temperature. He was so deeply engrossed in his thoughts, smiling, that he didn’t even notice the physical transition unfolding right before his very eyes.
The train was gushing at the rate of knots. The plastic covers that had been thrown out by trains passing by for decades were trying to catch up with the train. On the journey, trees were left behind, people looked like ants, and Arjun felt as if he were impersonating Flash.
Just then, a familiar face standing beside him winked. He responded with a smile and nothing else. She was the girl who sat in the opposite berth to his.
Three years ago, he would have at least tried to impress her, but now his mind was confined to occasional glances and smiles.
The girl started, “Hi... Hii... I’m Diya. Who are you smiling at?”
“It’s nothing. You won’t understand it unless you experience love.”
