Train Journey


Sunlight shadow was formed on the rock. Shadow was wavy in nature , waving motion of fire. Temperature of the noon was burning the roof. Water had escaped to sleep in cool. No more trees and no more heat relief.  Train was moving forward and his eyes could vast open lands ,his eyes already seen the emptiness in life.

Mohan was thinking of all the storm that occurred in his life. " Bro " heavy brought him in present. Mohan rubbed his eyes and looked forward. 
" Bro where you were lost " 
" Nothing much, what happened  Som" 
Som sighs " listen without tension" 
"What" , Mohan eyes widens " everything alright" 
" Train is not going on its usual route".
" What " his voice grew stronger. Attracting the attention of the nearby passengers.
All eyes were fixed on them. Weight of sight , making Som take heavy breaths.
" The train " Som wipes the sweat from his forehead " is lost and going unfamiliar ways." 

" What " echoed in the compartment. Children begins to cry, mothers whisper " how did this happen" , " how we will reach home ". Chaotic echoes fills the seats of the train.

Both friends rush towards to find the TT. From one compartment to the next one. Rush of flowing river in the closed spaces to meet ocean. To seek answers everyone was stepping on each others shoes. " Tell us what happened". " Why this happened?" " How will we reach home". 

Police arrives. They were trying their best to control the choas of fear. At last they picked up the weapon to intimidate the public and the trick worked. 

TT walked with hole in shoes towards the center. He said " Even I don't know what happened much but Naxals have blown away the railway tracks".  People begins to scream " how did you know ?" " Who told you? What's next".  TT folds hands and people sit with peace mask. 

T T continues " Naxals are on the train they told themselves and now the train is lost control and direction." 
" How come Naxals are on the train " 
" Where should we run " 
" Our Government is sleeping" 
Police trying to calm the burst bubble of tension in the compartment. 

Chaos runs in the blood and in the hour. People trying to run but where should they go ? 

Naxals walks in the compartment and police trying to talk out our peace and safety with them.  Naxals were large in number while the cops were only two in the entire train. 

Naxals pointed their gun at the people and begins to speak.  One uncle got up and " please let us go and you are not " one Naxals nod and put the gun in his mouth.  

Blood and silence both rushes in the train and human body. Mohan raises his hands.  " Yes you speak " said Naxal. 
" Where this train going"  
" Ga Ga Ga" the Naxal laughs " Even we don't know that as this train is hijacked by terrorist ".
Mohan pinches himself, sun rises from the west he thought but how this possible.
One passenger jumps from the running train and sees God immediately.

Naxal smiles behind the mask " don't worry the terrorist is very far from this coach ".
Other naxal puts finger on his lips " don't talk , don't say a word ".
" Far right and we will all help you escape as we are Naxalites but not terrorist". " We know this area very well and train will slow in few minutes just u all get down ".

Train begins to slow down and all people on the gate one by one they begin to jump outside. But firing starts. Everyone crawling , ducking and trying to escape. Bullets breaking the glass and people scream. Trembling seats and trembling people soul. 

A girl is caught in middle and Som rushes to save her and he saves but a bullet drains his life. Mohan picks the girl and rushes for first time no one cries over dead lost dear ones. Just escaping to save lives and mourns later.
