Journey: a turning point in life

She could hear the whistle from a mile and hurried to catch the train. After arranging the luggage in the train, she took a breath of sigh and relief. The journey was of around 17 hours long. After a while when train leaved the station.......a boy in hustle and bustle catching his breath arrived near her seat. He settled next to her seat and took out a book and started reading it. It was around
midnight and train was running at its peak.

Neither she noticed his face nor he did. In the morning...sun was shining and so her face too as the rays falled upon her pale skin which outshoned like a diamond. The Guy was asleep with book on his face. No sooner he noticed her mesmerized shining face and captivated by her beauty, she was still asleep and he was staring her. She woked up and found the boy looking at her continuously. Later, she also started noticing him and was attracted as well towards him.
It was afternoon, they were still engaged in their eye conversation and was enjoying it.
Sooner, boy started the conversation with the girl and gave her his own number and details.
The journey was coming to its halt. The girl was first to leave the train and the boy's heart was sanking in vain as he doesn't wanted to get apart from her. But the situation was not in her hand, she had to leave even though she was also feeling the same.
Station arrived where the girl stepped out of the train, she waved him last time looking at him with watery eyes. He also waved her goodbye for the last time and in just few moments train disappeared from her sight. She was standing there in dismay then left with just memories.
she could only remember his face and tried to dial the number he gave her. But her fingers didn't moved and she never called on that number. All she could do is just remember the memorable journey which brought smile on her face.
