Flashback..

Gowthami Express, About to reach Kazipet station.
Time: 4:30 AM

Karthik was desperate to see her. to get her back. 
He came to her compartment. She is about to get down in the next station. 
He just passed out his college. He knows, its his final chance. They may never meet again after that journey.
She does not want to talk to him. God knows why. (who can understand girls?)
She started shifting her luggage towards the door. her friend was helping her out.
He stretched his hand offering help. she declined.

Aah.. time is running out. Another 5 minutes more for the train to reach the station.
He is following her towards the door. They reached the door. Her friend was still with them. 
.....

Karthik picked up.
''So... what next?''
Geeta did not respond. 10 seconds of silence.
he  continued "I want to come to your home. I want to talk to your parents. Is that OK?"
"No.." She did not want a scene at her home. 

Someone laid their hand on Karthik. he turned around. He saw a man with a big moustache. he looked angry. He has a rifle to his shoulder. he was wearing Khaki dress. he was a Railway constable..

Karthik gave him some space to walk on. but the cop adjusted himself near the door just beside them. 
Karthik had no choice. he turned towards Geeta and continued..

"I dont know when we'll meet again. and.. and this is our last chance!! 
We both finished our college and going in search of our careers. I want to come with you"
"No Karthik.. Please dont follow me.."

Silence....

Karthik looked around.
Her Friend.. She held Geeta's hand and was trying to console her friend. 
next.. the Cop was looking straight into his eyes. He was angry. Karthik looked like a saddist eve-teaser to him. 

Suddenly the train Screeched..  they all looked through the small openings of the door. Lights outside.. 
"Welcome to Kazipet Station.. Train No. ..." The Announcement. 

The Cop moved ahead and opened the door. 
This time Karthik picked up one of her Luggages. she looked at him. she picked up her other bag and got down. He followed. 

On the Platform. She turned towards him. She took her luggage from Karthik and 
"Bye Karthik". Turned and started walking away. 

He stood there watching her leave him. His eyes filled with tears. All the moments they spent together those four years rewinded in his memory. 

POMMMMM...

Karthik came back from his thoughts by the train whistle!!
Train started moving slowly picking up speed. he turned towards the door. it was closed. 
He peeped inside through the narrow openings. the cop was still there putting the bolt to the door. 
He knocked to open. The cop looked at him but continued locking and stood straight.

Karthik was startled to find himself on the platform and train moving. he started running towards next compartment, then next, to find all doors closed.  
"Yesss" he found the next door open and dived into the running train. 

"Phew.."

He reached his compartment inside. After few minutes, the cop came searching for him. 
The cop's expression looked odd to him.. 

Surprised, Karthik asked him.. "Whats the matter, Sir?"
Cop politely replied..
"I wished you would go and win her back. I know what the pain is.. 
But.." he stopped. turned aside and moved ahead. 

Karthik realised his mistake.

The Cop had a Lost-love 'Flashback'..
