He gazed at the Electronic board above him anxiously. The lights in the board rearranged to form ” D-12 “. He heaved a sigh of relief.
He woke up at 6 in the morning. A rare spectacle for his surprised mom. He didn’t tell them where he was headed to. They thought he was off to finalize a deal. Answering all the questions that were fired at him, he ran out to the bus stop praying he didn’t miss the bus. Disappointment spread over his face as he saw the bus leaving the stop.
“Plan-B, Plan-B” he mumbled as he boarded the connecting bus. He smiled admiring his brilliance. He had chalked up a backup plan. How can he not ? . The admiration and happiness, however was short-lived. In the midst of nowhere, the bus tires decided to burst.
He could feel the Universe mocking him. He got down from the bus and looked at the empty road. Ocassionally looking at his watch, he prayed for a miracle. And it happened. He thanked his stars and hopped onto the bus. He was hanging on the steps, a first-time for him. His lucky shirt was getting dirty, but he was least concerned. The Bus reached the connecting station. He dashed off to the connecting bus, again to be disappointed. He stood there, aimless and no idea of what to do next.
He took out his phone and texted with a heavy heart
“Sorry, I can’t make it today ! A lot has happened”
” 
” – came the reply
” I can explain ” – he texted back !!
” Not needed. ”
The speakers came to life all of a sudden and his flashback was abruptly disturbed. The Train slowly chugged into the station. Slowly, until it came to a stop. He looked around , a sea of humans appeared from nowhere. His eyes started scanning around desperately looking for her. And there she was – Lost in her own world. With an obvious frown on her face, she had turned to a novel to give her company. He walked towards her. She raised her eyes, after realizing someone staring at her. And their eyes met.
“I am going to kill you. I. AM. GOING. TO. KILL. YOU” She said shaking her head.
He smiled. ” Well, I was expecting something more romantic ”
She smirked. He jumped in. The gentlemen besides her seemed jealous of the new stranger and gave him a stern stare when he asked for his seat. She requested and he moved, making way for the stranger.
He crashed on the seat beside her. And took a breath. May be for the first time that day. She looked at him. He looked at her. Lots of questions to be answered.
The Train started to move. And thus began the journey.
Bro, Seems good. But the intro was a bit short in my opinion and please y is it that the patrogonist always starts on the wrong foot??
Thanks da !
I started writing the post and thought of completing it in a single post but I felt it was going a bit long and it might not be that attractive then. so kept it sweet and short !
The Protagonist always starts on the Wrong foot so that you can have a happy ending . But yeah valid point , I think I should write about protagonist starting on a good note and ending on a bad note
Write from a perspective of the protagonist starting from a good note and ending on a good note, with some bad in between, for a superhit Rajshri productions. Because your writing style is nice
nice. Really nice. For a moment there I thought I was reading a Chetan Baghat novel. Are you working on that? or is it not fiction? Looking forward to read rest of the journey.
Interesting read
Sweeeet..
Part two soon
