STORIES THAT TOUCH YOUR SOUL

As the call for prayer came from the city mosque, Fasla covered her head with the scarf which was misplaced to her shoulder. Seeing this I smiled and asked ' Do you remember Allah only when you hear the call for prayer? ' She smiled and confirmed that the scarf was on her head. Fasla was sitting diagonally just in front of my seat. We were in the same class for Entrance Coaching at Science Institute, Manjeri. We were 30 students in it with two girls. As Ummer sir's maths class completed it was time for us to leave. I was staying in the Science Institute hostel. Sreehari and I came out of the class. He left home bidding me good bye. No one was in my hostel from my class. So I was about to leave. Suddenly I heard someone calling me. I turned back and saw Fasla with Jisha. Fasla asked ' Are you to hostel ?'. I said Yes. ' Can you do me a favour? '. She said. I said her to speak out. ' Can you give me a company till my hostel? I am afraid to go alone. Daily...

The ticket was not confirmed. I went to the TTE and enquired. He took my ticket and checked the new list. ' 62 '. He said even without looking at my face. I was happy to get the berth. Taking my bag I went to my berth. I was on my way home from my college for my cousin's marriage. As the date was fixed very late, I could book the ticket only a week before the date. It was the train from Trivandrum to Mangalore boarding at 8:40 pm. I kept my bag on my berth and sat on the lower berth. I looked the time. 8:20 pm. 20 minutes more. I moved to the window to see the platform and the busy people walking on it. Suddenly a man came and kept his bag on the seat. It seemed like his berth. When I just stood he said me smiling to sit there. He was a tall man well built. After keeping his belongings safe he sat near me. ' Where are you going? ' He asked me. ' Shornur '. We had a small conversation then. I said about my college, my school, and about my place. I could le...

Reservation is over. Rahul told me after disconnecting the call from Hussain. We can sit in the First class. He added smiling. We were in Trivandrum city for the movie Jodha Akbar. It was little late and we rushed to the theatre from the bus stop. There was a big crowd outside. Anyway we managed to get our tickets and entered. We searched for back seats. But it was filled almost up to 10 rows. Suddenly Rahul pointed me a vacant two seats. We went there. It was the 8th last row. Only after sitting I noticed that a girl was the one sitting next to me. Since she wore a t-shirt and jeans it was difficult to differentiate. Her boy friend was also with her. Rahul looked at me with a naughty smile after seeing that girl. I knew why did he smile. But I was very disturbed of that. I couldn't place my hand on the hand rest of the chair. I couldn't really see the movie because I felt the girl too had the same feeling. She also didn't place her hand. First I thought how am I going t...

I was busy searching for some pictures in google. Suddenly I heard a beep. It was from my Gmail, which I had already opened in another browser. Somebody was trying to chat with me. I opened Gmail and checked the person. It was Jayaprabha. She was my classmate when I was in Science Institute for entrance coaching. I replied for her 'Hai'. Then we chatted for about half an hour. We didn't speak a single word when we were at Institute. But here I saw her chatting like we were great friends. She said about her college, friends, home and so. She was quite excited to hear about me. I was really amazed at her. Actually I couldn't recollect this girl firstly. Later I confirmed from one of my classmate. I appreciated that girl for her friendship. I never thought I could find a friend like her whom i had just seen about a year. When I am loosing most of my true friends, I felt comfortable gaining a new friend.
