Never judge a book by it’s cover. He knew but ended up judging two at once.
‘May I have your attention please? Train number 12925, Paschim Express from Amritsar, Kalka via Ambala Cantt., Panipat to Bandra terminus via Kota, Vadodara is ready to depart from platform number 5.’ —
Announced the speakers at the station as he ran down the stairs to the platform to catch the train. His eyebrows and beard held the sweat as he ran along the platform searching for the coach. His eyes caught the glimpse of an attractive lady sitting by the window side in his train as he ran. He managed to see her figure till her breasts as he zoom passed her window.
He jumped into the coach with his bag pack and walked to his berth. And to his surprise, the same hot and sexy girl shared her seat beside his berth. That was indeed his day, he thought and placed his bag on the seat to use it as a pillow.
He sat down on the side lower berth by the window and turned his head to please his eyes with her charismatic looks.
‘What station is this son?’ — Asked the fat woman in a Churidar who sat across the girl. She was probably her mother, he thought. But could have inquired with her daughter he thought and provided her with the station.

The levels of the game turned tough on him with the beginning itself. It was tough for him to look at the girl escaping her mother’s eye. But he was a smart ass and knew how to tackle such situations. He knew how to impress moms and started presenting himself as a good boy who belonged from a rich house. He took out a novel from his bag and pretented to be this good boy who unlike the other youngsters who wasted their time on phones, preferred to be with books.
He turned the pages noisily until she turned at him with a warm look while her daughter was still on her phone. He also helped a crippled old man who begged in the train and gave him his lunch box and a hundred rupee note.
‘Excuse me?’ — She called after the old man had left. He turned to her with a jerk in his head as though he was completely invested in the book.
‘Yes aunty?’ — He replied with a warm smile.
‘Am I disturbing you?’ — She asked.
‘Oh no no, absolutely not.’ — He replied.
‘I was just curious, it’s hard to find boys like you with such good ettiquettes these days. I am impressed.’ — She said with wonder.
‘Oh thank you aunty, this is nothing.’ — He replied.
‘It must be with your upbringing, your parents must be so proud of you.’ — She replied.
She further asked him about his job and his earnings while her daughter pilfered looks at him. He was a handsome and charming man. And while they spoke, he took off his glasses to lodge the best of his looks. He was long sighted and went half blind without his glasses but he was told by many that his face looked more charming without his glasses.
He looked at the girl but the vision was blur. He could only register the figures and shapes of her body while the details of her face were blur for him. She was fair and had a sexy body. Although he took off his glasses, he was so confident about his looks with which he managed to lure many women in the past. The girl looked at him every now and then. Her gestures proved that she was interested in him.
He went a step further and bought some costly snacks and drinks for the mom and daughter despite their denial, to show off his money. The mom was clearly impressed but she was just a bait to catch the main fish. For the main fish, he took out his iPhone 11 Pro, when she looked at him to add a bulky points to his richness.
The girl got rid off her phone and increased the frequency of her looks at him. They both shared looks at each other for a while and suddenly their eyes met. They immediately looked at their opposite sides. A wave of embarrassment prevailed between them. She tried to hide her smile as she looked out through the window. She was clearly interested.
Everything worked well for him and was prepared to ask for her mobile number while parting. He was happy and an another beautiful voice reached his ears from somewhere. He judged the voice for her beauty. Too much luck in a day, he thought and shifted his focus to follow the voice as the first one seemed already won.
The new woman was in the cabin across him and laid on her belly on the upper berth. She popped her head out of her seat into the walkway.
She was a brown skinned brunette with an extremely sweet voice. The facial features were not clear without his specs but she seemed beautiful.
It was one hour left for the train to reach its final point leaving so less time to impress the new girl. He should have been satisfied with the first girl but after all, men will be men. They love to score. He constantly stared at the second girl from his seat as she laid on her berth.
The girl’s mom stood up for the washroom creating an opportunity for him to talk. He looked at her keenly, waiting for her to look at him so that he could start a conversation. So less time but enough to share numbers. But she seemed feared of her mother turning up all of a sudden to bust them.
He hurriedly pulled out his phone and stuck it to his ear pretenteding to be on phone. He spoke rudely showing off his bad ass attitude, the attitude which apparently most girls find attractive.
‘I didn’t get to smoke a single joint since I boarded the train. My head aches you motherfucker, don’t keep calling me unnecessarily.’ — He acted and checked if she was looking at her.
She didn’t give him enough attention but this caught the second girl’s attention and smiled at him. These petty tricks seemed working for him but the girl’s standards were questionable indeed. Good for him though.
The mother was back and the girl turned looked at him with an apologetic look, he assumed without his specs. He still had chance to exchange numbers while leaving. And now the second girl too was in his purview and he prepared two slips with his phone number on them. One for each girl.
It was one of his luckiest day so far and the time to part neared as the train ran towards its final station. All excited, he started plotting plans to catch up and date both girls. He thought of the naughty, kinky things he would do with them. Those thoughts arose his feelings and as he was a millisecond away from a boner, the mother spoke.
‘What’s the time?’ — She asked her daughter.
‘5:28.’ — her daughter replied and asked.
‘Mom? Will dad be there for us at the station?’ — In a fruity voice.
‘Yes dear.’ — She replied with a soft voice.
‘Yayy! I’ll get to play with his new phone then.’ — The girl said in a joyful tone.
‘Yes but you don’t get to use it all the time. Play with the phone in limits.’ — Her mom replied.
Why is she being treated like a child?, he thought. Shocked with her childish behaviour, he turned his head towards her with surprise. Within no time the uneasiness took over him and he began sweating. He thought and thought for a while but he couldn’t keep it to himself. Not bothering about the later consequences, he asked her mom.
‘Aunty!’ — He called wearing a smile on his face.
‘Yes son?’ — She replied with a pleasant smile.
‘How far is the station?’
‘Just half an hour and we’ll be there.’ — She replied.
‘Ya I have another train to catch after this.’ — He said.
‘I see. Wish you a safe journey.’ — She said.
She asked him about his further journey and the destination while he gathered guts to ask.
‘She’s in a school?’ — He asked hesitantly.
‘Who?’
‘Your daughter aunty.’ — He replied with innocence.
‘Oh yeah! She’s in a school.’ ‘English medium!’ — She added proudly.
‘Tenth standard?’
‘No she’s still in the seventh standard. The board’s tension is yet to come. I’m worried how she’d perform.’ — She replied with a grin on her face.
Her words hit him like a cyclone. He felt so embarrassed and ashamed of himself. He sat there still on his seat with shock and disappointment.
He began comforted himself blaming his myopia for his pedophile behavior and felt happy that he still had a chance with the brown girl.
He shifted his focus on to the brown girl on the upper berth. The brown girl seemed interested as she shared looks and constantly smiled at him. Atleast half of his luck was good he thought while the shy smiles and looks prevailed.
The train was five minutes from the station and the passengers created chaos as they gathered the bags to board off. He clutched the slips with his phone number and waited for the brown girl to get down to pass her the slips. She laid there still and didn’t move for a while and spoke.
‘Anuj! Heyy Anuj!’ — She yelled.
‘Yaa?’ — Anuj replied as he gathered the bags.
‘Please help me get down son, my back cramps have grown severe now.’ — She said with pain.
‘Just a second grandma!’
Wait, what the fuck? Son? Back pains? She was supposed to be a beautiful young lady and now she turns out to be someone’s grandma all of a sudden? He watched her get down slowly groaning with pain.
He searched for his glasses to check on her again. He was shocked to see the young hot mess transform into an old woman. She had wrinkles on her face. She was old right from the beginning and it was his myopia again. He threw the slips out of the window and sat on his seat with despair. This one was harder than the first one.
He got down from the train and walked to an empty bench to sit. He sat there thinking, regretting about the whole thing. It was such a lucky day for him at the beginning which turned out to be an absolute nightmare, he thought. He was so sad and the speakers went again.
‘May I have your attention please?….’
‘No! Fuck off!’ — He yelled with frustration.
Such misunderstandings and heart breaks keep happening but after all men will be men. He boarded another train and his eyes searched for a woman again!
