After finishing the interview we all enjoy ourselves at beach lots, because its first time to visit the Colombo with friends. We eat everything whatever we felt didn't ate before.. Play with sand so everyone's saree destroyed even we didn't care about that and return to railway station because everyone have few amount of money which one is not enough for bus ticket.
I felt so much fear for train travel because its very big and so much passengers in it and while travelling it is shaking. Everyone go their own way to home, so Priya and me get tickets to Rejina which is travels Colombo to Kurunegala. Train seems so pretty and neat. We get it fastly. Then with Priya I'll enjoy the travel by gossiping and laughing especially about passengers.
At Veyangoda train stops and waits so much time. We felt bor and over sweating makes me anger. Then slowly slowly train starts to move and one boy claims to train like a spider. Priya laugh at him therefore he gets anger and sits opposite to us. He always look at us and it make me disturb so I get angry. I guess, he may be a terrorist or thief. My heart beats increasing and hold Priya's hand tightly..
Priya is not much care about this but I felt afraid. Each and every stations train became empty and my fairness increasing double and triple. While the boy getting down from train until stops, I'll fill his sheet by inviting to Aunty and Uncle who is standing next to us. They smile at us to thankfully.
The boy comes and understand the job which is done by us. He gives slight smile and stand near to Priya. Now I feel relax. Then again we start to enjoy our journey. Priya's mom calls her to says that she is waiting at Alawwa station. I'm not like her leaving and says that not to go. My mind disturb and filled with bad thoughts because of darkness.
" Don't worry Pooja.. Just one hour you will reach to Kurunegala. Be a strong girl. Ok.."
"Don't fear to enyone." Said Priya.
"Mmm... Ok.."
"If you have any problem, call me. Take care sweety. Bye.."
"Ok. Bye"
Her departure made me so sad and miss her lots. Now I'm alone. My soul give a message that something will happen wrongly. Priya's sheet is empty and now he will sits behind me. He smiles on me but I frown and turn my face to window side and starts my prayer to save from evil. Unfortunately another boy sits behind me. He is still standing. Raju who sits near to me, tries to talks with me so much times but I refused him.
Thereafter I think half an hour train makes blaster sound. Everyone afraid and run here and there. I don't know what happen. All the passengers take their bags and jumping from the train. It may be a bomb in train. Then I go for lady who tries to take a big bag very hardly.
" Hellow, sister "
She is not reply or turn. She gives me a angry look like to kill.
"What happen? Why everyone moving?"
"Where are you? at dream ? Train breaks down... what kind of girl.. I'm tries to pull the bag.. irritate me" Said roughly.
I take my bag and go for lady to ask help. My bad luck, she was gone. I'm a last person who is in train. My eye rivers flowing and wet the saree. Hug my bag and step down from train. No one at the little path which one is in between the big forest. Darkness remain me some kind of ghost. It may be a Polgahawela or Pothuhera. My heart is tries to jump from my body. Entire world I can see only black black black! Whole body starts to vibrate and inside me feel like dying.
I go forward and show a unclear shoes. Then I clean my eyes and turn my head up. Its boy who I am always tries to ignore, still waits for me. My shyness made me quite because of my earlier behaviors. But he is very kind heart person.
"I..."
He shows the road by hand and not ask anything from me. Then I follow him.
" main road?"
He is not reply at me and smile on me.
"What's the time?"
He shows his watch and again smile, not talk with me.Again I starts to doubt about him. I walks behind him and always observe him like bird eyes. While reach to main road, I lost my patient. Then my mind get relax. He is really genius. Bus comes very slowly and both are get it. He is not sits near to me. Conductor is coming to give tickets. But I don't have money. I have to tell to him.
"I... money"
Again he starts to smile. I get angry and shout to him.
"Why are you always smile? Am I looser? Or Are you crazy?"
Again smiles and irritate me. He gives money for tickets. Then he puts his eyes on me.
Finally we reach to Kurunegala. My lovely brother comes to take me.
"Brother!"
When I show him run fast and hug him and tells the whole story with tears. Then suddenly I remain the boy who helps me. I forget to thank to him. So again runs to bus stand. My bad luck he is no more. It makes me so guilty. I don't know even his name but his character is amazing. Unforgettable person in my life and made respect in my heart. I understand his value after his departure. While he is with me I always doubt him.
But now.......
I find him at every bus.
But...
