I never ever thought I would spend my Valentine’s Day amidst chaos and anarchy. I like her even now.
*****
“C ’mon, I can’t buy the idea that you like working here. In this mofussil town,cut off from the life we love. This is not done.” It was my ever complaining wife’s voice. I knew there was no way to stop her. I said," They pay good money here and moreover, its home.”
“Home ? Did you say home? I thought we had a home in that city. "

“Home ? Did you say home? I thought we had a home in that city. "
“Please be quiet, Mom and Dad are in the next room.”
“Well, they ought to know how happy we are - together.”
“If you don’t want to be with me, you can always walk out. I’ll not stop you.”
“How dare you say that ?” she came to me and grabbed me by the collars. I would have slapped her tightly, hadn’t she been a lady.
I managed to loosen her grip but the damage had already been done. Both of us were furious and she suddenly decided to leave. Packed her bags." General class seat will do.”, she was talking on the phone. I was amazed by the fact that she sounded so calm after a bitter spat with me.
She was saying, more to herself than me,” I won’t ever leave you in peace, you understand. I’ll neither stay with you nor divorce you. I’ll see to it that you pine for me.”
I was perplexed yet assured that not much would happen. I can bring her back after sometime.
She boarded the Coromondel Express at 7 pm in the evening. I went to see her off but we didn’t exchange a word. Not even a goodbye. But in a few minutes everything changed. The news of derailment of the very same train shot up my adrenaline. I was jilted. I rushed to the spot.
*****
Its almost 2 AM now. I don’t have any news of her. Perhaps she has been rescued. Or couldn’t I identify her body ? My mind, body and soul shiver at this thought. Her words echo in my ear-“ I won’t ever leave you ….. I’ll see to it that you pine for me.”
I wish we hadn’t fought that day…
Will she ever come back to me ?
