OS 1- Train travel!
So the first os is about black girl's love story!
Happy reading📖😘❤ !
Nila's POV!
Passengers' kind attention please! Train no12345, Kanyakumari express bound for Kanyakumari via tuticorin from chennai egmore is ready for depature from platform no: 4! The railway announcement makes me to hurry if that even possible with my already over speed.
Sweating and panting, I heaved a sigh when I caught the train at neck moment in haste. Taking my seat, I drank water to calm my breathing and to moisten my dry throat.
Making myself comfortable and after composing myself, I started staring the dark cloudy sky which is drizzling now from the window seat.
Everyone loves cloudy weather with dark clouds, well technically not everyone but almost.. But why they don't like dark skin? Why they think black as inauspicious and bad omen?
Isn't black clouds shower rain? Isn't black god statues worshipped? Isn't black eyes shows everything colorful? Isn't black night gives peace? Isn't black seeds turns into trees? Then why??
Ok coming to the real point, I'm Nila but I'm not white like Nila which means moon. I'm black like night sky where moon lives. I guess I'm moon in day, that's why no one notice my looks.
I'm not ugly. I strongly believe the say 'Beauty lies on beholder's eyes'. And I didn't meet that beholder till now.
My dad loves me a lot while my mom didn't cares much as she dislikes black color and my gene is came from my paternal grandfather. My amma always makes a distance with me in everything. Well, she didn't hate me but not love me either, I guess.
I have a twin sister whose name is Mathi. We're not like identical. We're pole opposite in everything from physical to mentally. I'm talkative whereas she's silent. I'm dreamy and positive whereas she's practical.
I have black skin, long slightly curl hair, neither slim nor fat but a chubby girl. But my twin Mathi is white skin, short wavy hair, slim perfect girl.
So now the reason why I'm here in this train is My appa and amma arranged the engagement for my twin and me with my twin's love and his brother without my consent.
To be honest, I don't even know who he is or what he looks like but his name is Shyam. He was 2 years older than his brother Mithran, my twin's love. And the reason why I'm running away from this engagement is this marriage is forced for groom's side as well as me.
When my twin Mathi announced that she's in love with Mithran who's her co worker, my family started searching a groom for me as they want to held our both marriages in same day because of some rubbish astrology.
But unfortunately or fortunately, no one is willing to marry a black girl like me. And in the groom's side, they also need to get their first son, Shyam marry before Mithran. But unfortunately, they too didn't find a girl.
Being frustrated with the thing that they can't find me a groom, my amma planned something rubbish. Yes, your guess is right. She literally made a deal like 'buy one get one offer' with my twin's in-laws. She offered them 60 pawns of gold and a house worth 1 crore to make their son to marry me.
And that's when I came to know that Mithran's mother is step mother for Shyam. So she agreed as she didn't care about the girl whom her step son marries as far as her son marry a beautiful wealthy girl.
So tomorrow is my engagement and now I'm in train escaped with the help of my friend Chaya and my twin sister Mathi. Yes, in spite of our difference, we love each other equally.
Now I'm going to chaya's home which is in kanyakumari as I don't want to ruin the poor man's life and I also don't want an loveless compromise marriage.
Helloo!! Miss?? Can you take your bag? This is my seat! I heard a manly voice which pulled me out of my thoughts.
Yes.. Oh sorry.. I said taking my bag from the opposite seat without looking at him. I'm in side seat.
It's okay! Thank you.. He said and that's when I saw him smiling dazzlingly at me..
Wow! Handsome..
That was the first word came in my mind. I smiled sheepishly in which he gave me a weird look. I pushed my eyes forcedly from him to window putting my air pods as I don't want to embarrass myself more. I played the song 'Chota chota nanaiyuthu taj mahal' from 'Taj mahal' movie.
Suddenly my mobile started ringing making me jerk as I was in the verge of sleeping. I saw Mathi calling me.
Hello Nila? Are you safe? Did you catch the train? Where are you? She asked me questions without giving me a chance to answer.
I'm fine Mathi! I'm safe and I'm already in train. I don't know where the train is now. I said calmly.
Don't you even know where you're? Ask someone and answer me. She said. I sighed.
The handsome guy sitting opposite to me is busy reading some book. Do I have to disturb him? Yes! I have no choice.
Uhm... Excuse me sir.. I said and he looked at me pointing his index finger towards him like questioning do I called him. I nodded. He raised an brow.
Do you know which place is this? I asked him. He wandered his eyes outside and finally looking at me, Melmaruvathoor. He answered. I nodded with a thank you. He didn't answer but going back to continue his book.
Rude!😏
Haan.. Mathi.. I'm in Melmaruvathoor d. Tell me, are you alright? Did amma find me missing already? Did they return from aunt's home? Do they search me? Or disowned me? I asked.
No! They didn't return and didn't find you missing till now. If they means, I can't call you. And remember don't call me. And why don't you still change your number? I gave you new sim ryt? She asked me frustrated.
Yeah right! I already activated it. The thing is I didn't threw my old sim which we're speaking. I said.
Stupid! First throw this sim. If possible, I'll call you in morning with my number okay? Take care d. She said.
Ok.. I miss you mathi.. Love you and take care of all including my brother in law Mithran! Okay? Send him my regards and congrats. I said.
Aww! Me too miss you dear! Don't worry, we'll meet soon! Bye.. I think amma is calling. I'll talk with uou later. She said hanging up the call. I sighed.
It has been 30 minutes but it feels like 10 hours for me. I'm dying out of boredom here. I looked at the Handsome-Rude-Boring man opposite to me is still reading that damn book.
What's so interest in that book?
I wondered. I took out my chocolate bar started eating it with a boring expression.
Hi akka! Some cute voice turned my attention. That was a cute girl who may be 6 or 7 years old standing near my seat with a cute expression.
Did you call me? I asked her. She nodded.
Can you give me the chocolates? She asked pointing towards the one in my hands. I giggled.
Charu! Come here! I told you not to disturb others na.. Come! One lady said from the next cube. Probably her mother.
It's okay sister! If you don't mind, can I play with her? I swear, I'm not a thief or kidnapper. I said showing my best puppy dog eyes.
She agreed with a chuckle. Immediately I took charu in my lap giving her another choco bar which was in my bag.
What's your name akka? She asked while savoring the chocolates.
Nila! And yours? I asked her despite of knowing her name.
Charumathi! She said cutely. I pulled her cheeks while she giggled.
You know my twin sister name is also Mathi! I said she looked at me excited.
Is it? Where is she? Can I meet her? She asked me.
No! She's going to get married soon. It's her engagement tomorrow. So I didn't bring her with me. I said she pouted.
Didn't you also get marry then? My teacher said that twins will do everything at same time like crying, laughing everything. Isn't it true? She asked me cutely.
It's true. But I don't like to marry now. So.. *looking at here and there* I'm going to my friend's home. I said slowly. And that guy snapped at me suddenly.
Why? Why didn't you like to marry now? She asked me.
Uhmm.. I was caught off guard by her question. I have reasons but I can't tell that to a small girl. In the mean time, she finished her chocolate.
Charu come here.. Your aunt wants to speaks with you. She's in call. Her mom told and she ran away immediately giggling and yelling 'gomu auntieee' in excitement.
Now that HRB.. I mean Handsome-Rude-Boring guy is looking at me with a pointed look. I felt conscious under his gaze. I was about to plug my air pods when I heard his voice.
Did you run away from your engagement? He asked.
Did you eavesdrop? I asked. He rolled his eyes.
Firstly, I don't like people question back at me when I ask for answer. And secondly, I didn't eavesdrop but your voice is far audible to the last seat in this compartment. He said rudely like I'm his servant.
Hello mister! Firstly, I'm not your servant or wife to behave how you like. And secondly, if I'm your servant or wife also, I'll never change my attitude. And thirdly, it's not a problem for me if you eavesdrop.. No, no.. Accidentally-heard-because-of-my-loud-voice until or unless you act nosy! I said with the same rudeness which he used before.
I'm not being nosy okay? I'm just curious. And sorry for asking. Continue to listen songs! I don't care. He said extremely annoyed. I sighed.
Lot of things going on in my mind and I can't share with anyone. I want an stranger to share it as it will never create a change or problem in my life. And also I'm in extreme boredom so why not talking with him? And it seems quite fun to annoy him!
Ok I'm also sorry. I'll tell you. I said.
No thanks. I don't like being nosy! He said. I twisted my lips at him. Too much for thinking to share my secrets with him!!!
I insist. Can you listen? Please. I asked him. I know I'm being like bipolar and stupid now.
But I can't help. I just want to share my worries to anyone without making them worry for me. And for that, he'll be the best as he'll never care for a stranger like me. Let alone care, he may not even believe my story ryt?
Ok.. Tell! He said with a serious face putting his book inside the bag.
Yes! I ran away from my engagement. It's not that I don't like to wed but the reason is we both are forced into this. I said. He looked at me perplexed.
I know your question. You know I have a twin who's not like me but beautiful fair and slim. Her name is Mathi. She loved one guy named Mithran.
So the thing is my mother wants me to marry Mithran's elder brother Shyam because they can't find a groom for me as no one ready to marry a black girl like me. And they want mathi and me to get marry on same day as per our astrology.
And that guy shyam's mother is his step mother. So she accepted immediately not caring about anything as far as my mom offers her 60 pawns gold and a house worth 1 crore for marrying me to her step son. I said with a sigh. He looked at me keenly.
Don't you like that guy? What's his name.. Ya.. Shyam.. He asked me.
Like? Are you even listening me? I said it's a deal not a marriage. I didn't even see that guy. How can we both be happy in this forced marriage? I don't want to drag that poor guy into a loveless agreement in the name of marriage! I said annoying.
I think you took haste decision. You should have at least meet and talk with him. What if he likes you? May be that's why he didn't refuse ryt? He asked. Actually, I didn't think in this way. Is it possible?
It's okay! I know already. I heard that he is quite no.. No.. He's super handsome. So he definitely will not like a girl like me. I said with a sigh.
What do you mean by 'a girl like you'? Are you a smuggler or terrorist? He asked playfully.
Huh! He knows to be playful too!
Haha.. Very funny. Don't act like you didn't get me. I mean See me! Who likes this dark girl with chubby cheeks? Even below average men rejected me then what's different in handsome man? Definitely, he'll never like me. And also if he likes me means, he might try to contact me before till now ryt? But he didn't. So its obvious! I said in a matter-of-tone.
You're just exaggerating about your appearance! Everyone is beautiful in their own way. It's just that in the eyes of the beholder. And most importantly, no beauty and handsome face will remain when we get old. It's our heart which remains same till death. And I prefer beautiful heart to beautiful face. He said sincerely.
Is he the beholder whom I searching for?
Stupid! Don't overthink! He's just trying to lift your confidence! He's just a passing cloud!
Huh!? I know I'm beautiful in every way but no one notices it just like my name. I said.
Name? I think I heard your name is Nila right? But moon is admired by almost everyone for its beauty. Why are you saying it didn't get notice? He asked me with confused face. I chuckled.
You really did eavesdrop, didn't you? And here I thought you're reading. I said playfully. He twisted his lips while pouting. Cute!
Ok ok.. What I mean is Moon didn't get notice by anyone in morning despite it was there in sky because everyone's eyes is obsessed with the brightest sunrays! Like that, no one notices me as everyone is obsessed with the illusion 'being fair is beauty'. I answered.
Voah! Nice lines.. Like a quote! He complimented. I smiled while bowing dramatically.
So where are you going now? He asked.
Kanyakumari! To my friend's home. I replied.
What're you going to do then? He asked.
No idea! I just want to find a job and manage till my twin marriage which is in 3 months. Then I'll return to my home. I said.
When are you going to marry then? Any crush or one side love till now? He asked.
You!!
Uhm.. Yes! I had crush but not love, I guess. I said being consious.
Who is that? He asked in no expression.
I had plenty of crushes. There'll be no time if I say everyone's name. I said with a chuckle. He stared me with a blank expression. I was about to ask about him when we heard the tea selling man.
Tea? He asked me. I nodded. He bought two cups and about to pay when I already paid for our tea.
Why did you pay? Here take this. He said while giving me money. I shook my head.
Think that as small compensation for hearing my boring story. I said winking. He shook his head with a smile.
Do you have enough cash till you find a job? He asked.
Sweet!
Yes! I have. I said with a smile. He nodded sipping his coffee.
Tell me something about you! It was just me keep on blabbering from the start. I said.
No. I don't like sharing my personal with strangers. He said.
Did I said sweet? Scratch that!! He's still HRB!!!
Okay! I said twisting my lips. If I didn't know him better, I would have thought that he's suppressing his smile while messing with me. But I know he's just Rude jerk!
Uhmm.. Can you lend me your mobile for sometime? I want to make a call. But my mobile went off. He asked. I forwarded my mobile.
Password.. He said giving back my mobile. I entered my password and gave him my mobile again. He called someone.
Hello Arjun! I'm sundar! My mobile went off.
Yes da.. I'll reach Thirunelveli at 5, I guess...
Yes da.. Ok then send the address. Yes yes.
No! Don't tell them anything including him. Okay?
Hmm bye da!
He hung up. I looked at him to give me back the mobile.
Wait.. I want to check one msg from my frnd. I asked him to send his address to your number. Sorry. He said unlocking my mobile. He then scribbled something in the first page of his book and then gave me back my mobile
Wait? Did he just unlock it? How did he know my password?
How did you know my password? Did you just sneak peek my password without my knowledge? Do you know what this means? It's called invading my privacy. In your words, it's called being extremely nosy! I said. He rolled his eyes.
Haa! As it was so difficult, its just four zeros ryt? 0000.. What's special in that? And I didn't purposely saw that. It just happened spontaneously! He said with a shrug. This man and his nerve to shrug casually after invading my privacy!!
You!! Nila.. Cooll down dear.. He's nothing but HRB passing cloud!! Just forget that!! I cooled myself.
What do you mean by HRB? He asked raising his brow.
Did I say that loud?
And you HRB! As if I tell that to you!
Horrendous Rude Bast.. He widened his eyes. I smirked.
I mean Horrendous Rude Boring man. I said. He sighed and pouted.
I thought Hot-Ravishing-Babe😉. He said with a wink. I rolled my eyes.
But inside my heart skipped a beat at his wink!
Ok ok I'm sorry. Tell me why you put four zeroes? Is there any reason for that? He asked.
Actually yes! I said. He saw me curiously.
But I'll not tell you! I said.
What's that? Please tell me! Please. I'm curious. He asked with puppy god eyes. So adorable😍!
This man knows to say Please too!
Okay okay! I just love the number! Above all, it has special quality. I said.
Huh? Special quality? Don't tell me the childhood math book story of how 1 and 0 became friends and how 0 increases the value of other numbers. But then other than that, zero means that there's nothing and it didn't have value in addition and substraction. He asked me thoughtfully. I frowned.
You know among real numbers, zero is the number of absolute power. It may not have important in add or sub but in division and multiplication, it can nullify any number or take everything away from it. I said with a proud smile.
You really do have different perspectives in life. He said with a surprised expression. I chuckled.
Then we decided to eat something as we felt hungry. I took out my tamarind rice with potato fry which I prepared in my home. He opened his Idli which he might bought from shop.
He eyed my tiffin box for few minutes and started eating his dinner. I chuckled.
Do you want some? It was prepared by me. Come on taste this! I said while forwarding my rice. He gulped and took some.
Voah! Tasty! Thanks. He said with a longing eyes and then continued his dinner with a pout.
If you want, you can take half. How about sharing half? I asked. He nodded immediately forwarding his dinner.
Don't get me wrong! I'm not a fan of outside foods but homefood freak. Otherwise I'll never share my food with strangers. He said. I rolled my eyes.
So Mr.Sundar! You're going to thirunelveli ryt? I asked him after our dinner.
So the great Nila who considers being nosy as crime now eavesdrop my convo? Isn't it? He asked sarcastically.
I didn't eavesdrop. You just said that loud. I defended me. He smirked with a raising brow.
Fine! I'm sorry for calling you nosy at first but you proved it by sneak peeking my password. So sorry wapus. I said with a smirk. He gave me an annoyed expression.
Then after that, we both stayed in silence. But he steal glances at me often making me more self-consious. Then we both retired to sleep.
In sleep, I felt some soft-moisture on my forehead. I shrugged it off in my deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes, the train stopped in Nagercoil and the time is half past 6 in morning. I yawned and looked around only to see the seats empty.
That HRB man is also gone! I sighed.
I wish I had seen him one last time before he left!
Then I took my pillow and bedsheet from the berth and that's when I noticed one paper slipped from the sheet. Narrowing my brows, I took the paper and read that.
I love you Nila. This is my number 99******34. If you're interested in me. Please give me a call. I'll wait for you till my last breath. I never loved.. Let alone love, I never even give a damn to girls. But you entered my heart breaking every warriors which I built for 28 years. You're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I love you Nila. This is not a prank but I'm dead serious. Please think and answer me
-Yours HRB MAN!
What?? Am I still in dream or what?
I pinched myself and screamed in pain. I immediately ran to the door only to find that I'm in nagercoil. And he might have left in thirunelveli junction!
Why didn't he wake me up and say this? Is he did this for fun?
I tried calling him but it was switched off. Sighing and thinking that was his prank, I packed my bedsheets and pillows into my bag.
I still tried to call him but it was off till now. What the hell is he thinking about me!?!? No! I'll never leave him for playing this stupid prank with me!! I'll call and scold my heart out. Then only I can live in peace.
I called again and again ignoring the lady's voice saying that 'please try again later'.
Already missing me? I heard the familiar voice from behind.
There he is! With his usual dazzling smile showing his dimples while criscrossing his hands on his chest!
You.. Here.. How? This letter... I.. I stammered. He came in front of me and took my hands in his.
Nila! Everything What I wrote in that letter is indeed True! And I have a sweet shock for you.. I'm the Shyam who you supposed to get engaged with today. I'm Shyam sundar. I also ran away from our engagement like you because of my step mom's rubbishness.
I too don't want to drag a poor girl into my miserable life. But I thought that you may be a exploiter like my step mother as I own a company which is purely by my hardwork and talent.
My step mother didn't like my progress in business world while her son is just a worker in my company. She wants Mithran to own the business. But Mithran is kind and good enough to live with what he have.
So I thought that she purposely selected you because you may be a spendthrift or cunning woman like my step mother. That's why I decided to go to my friend's home in thirunelveli till Mithran's marriage.
But when I heard you talking with your twin and with that child, I got the hint. So I asked you who you are and why are you doing this. I really fell in love with you when we started talking.
I don't believe in love at first sight because it may come from looks. But I do believe in love at first meet! Because we may get the idea about the person's nature and heart and It happened. I love you Nila.
You said Nila (moon) can't get noticed in daytime. It's true. Moon needs darkness to display her enhanced beauty. And I'm shyam which means dark in Sanskrit. Let me be the darkness for you My Moon to reveal your worth and beauty! Let me show you how elegant and alluring you are. May I?
He said so calmly still holding my hands. I felt tears blurred my vision. I nodded with a sob because of the extreme happiness which is choking my throat. He hugged me suddenly.
Thankfully, the train is empty. Otherwise, we may gave everyone a show to watch!
He released me and wiped my tears.
You really love me this much? I asked him with tears.
You know what value you have in my life? He asked wiping my tears.
What? I asked curiously.
Zero! He said. I frowned. He chuckled.
Don't make faces! It's too cute to make that face in public! You only said right? Zero can nullify anything or take everything away from it. You really nullified my arrogancy, rudeness, Loneliness, worries and last but not least my heart's warriors. You really took everything from me.. My heart, love, Care, and so on.. I love you Nila. I'm really really loving you.
He said looking straight into my eyes intensely. I blushed.
I love you too Shyam.. I said. He kissed my forehead. That's when I realized I felt this feeling before..
Didn't you the one who kissed my forehead while I'm sleeping? I asked him. He smiled sheepishly while nodding.
I.. I don't know whether you'll accept me or not if I say the truth. I may not get the chance later. So not wanting to waste the chance, I kissed your forehead. Hehe😁.. But I swear, I'm a true gentleman! He said with a innocent smile which no one can ignore. I smiled hitting his arm playfully.
Should we go back to chennai for our engagement but its today so it's no use if we go also ryt? I asked him with a pout.
Don't worry! I called Mithran and informed him that I went to urgent business trip so that I can't able to make for today's engagement. He told appa. And appa told me that they'll held our engagement a week later helding Mithran's engagement today. Because they can't cancel their engagement as we already distributed invitations. He explained.
Oh my goodness! But I didn't inform my parents! They may search for me. What'll happen if they say about my absence to your family? I asked with panick. He smiled.
Don't worry for that too. I already called your twin and informed about us. She'll manage your parents by saying that you went to see your friend who got into an accident and I also asked her to inform your parents about our engagement postpone so that they don't want to freak out. Now you just want to call your parents and assure the lies. He said.
How did you get my twin's mobile number? I asked him.
Do you think that I called everyone by my switched off phne? I used your phne only sweetheart! He said with a caught smile.
Don't you have manners to touch stranger's things without their knowledge? I asked him playfully raising my brow.
I really don't have manners if it's my wife's possessions. He said with a wink. I blushed.
At that time, we reached kanyakumari station.
Some times wrong decisions leads to our right destiny!
