Train Journey

The time was around 5.30 PM in the evening. The railway station was very busy. People who return home after work and those who are going to native like this it was very crowded. There on the platform, a passenger train was preparing to leave.

The platform where the train was standing. A young girl entered she was around 22 to 23 years old. She was very excited and energetic. She was happily singing a song and went near the train.

In that passenger train, lots of coaches were empty. She crossed all those coaches and entered the ladies' compartment. There already a middle-aged lady named Maria was sitting along with her mother and daughter. Even this girl goes and sits along with them. Very soon she mingled with their family. Due to her friendly nature, she became close to that family very soon. The girl introduced herself as Nancy and she was going to visit her family.

Now the train started moving. All of them happily talking and laughing in the last coach of the passenger train. And the train was also in a good feel like them, so it started going fast.

Now, the train stops at one of the stations and a lot of ladies got down in that station. Again, the train started moving, When the train was moving Nancy received a lot of phone calls and she was happily talking during the phone calls. Whenever she did not receive any calls. She would call someone and speak. And in between the gaps Nancy was talking to Marias' family.

Now the next station comes. A lady got down from the ladies' coach and along with her Maria also got down and bought some milk and biscuits for her daughter. Now again the train started to move, and Maria and Nancy started to talk again.

Next one more station arrives. Where Maria and her family got down. Even though Maria and Nancy spoke for a very little time Maria’s family liked Nancy and her charming and lively nature. These types of relations are called train friendships. Normally when we travel on the train, they will talk nicely but when the station arrives, they will forget to move on with their daily chores. And it is unusual to remember them again.

But for Maria, it was not like that. The incident made Maria think about Nancy whole of her life. She doesn’t know the tragedy which is going to happen in a few minutes.

When Maria and her family got down from the coach Nancy also got down along with them. Because of no one there in that coach except Nancy.

Now the train again started to move, and Nancy boarded the train in a hurry. But now without boarding in the same coach she boarded in another ladies' coach in the same compartment. There were two ladies’ coaches on that train.

Unfortunately, even in that coach, no one was there other than her. After a few minutes of train started moving. In the next few minutes, something fell from the train from Nancy’s coach. And the person in the next coach who was standing on the steps saw it. And the thing which fell is not an object or some luggage. It was Nancy who fell from the ladies' coach. Nancy who was talking to everyone happily till that time. What is the reason that she suddenly fell off the train? What is the reason that she moved to another ladies' coach urgently? Even while talking on the phone, she was happy and excited.

Then what is the reason why she fell from the train? Since Nancy fell from the train Maria started going to court and the police station often. What is the reason for that? Did Nancy accidentally fall, or did she fall knowingly? Or did someone else push her down? Then what happened to Nancy after that?..........

Let me know, If you want me to continue this story……..
