Upon her arrival



It was Friday night. As he waited on the platform to board the Blue Mountain fast train to his hometown Coimbatore, memories of her started rolling down his memory lane.

A lot of changes, ever since she had arrived into his life !!

It was only after her arrival that he started getting much respect at home, among relatives and also friends. But, not just that, he also started understanding the pangs of family life only after she arrived.

He realized how responsible, his father, who he had always presumed as a 'Miser', had been. He realized how his parents had kept him unaware of their poverty, till then, only to keep him at comfort. This increased his respect and concern for them, and slowly made him a responsible, matured man.

His responsibility earned him respect all-around. His parents, who had hitherto considered him a child, started discussing family problems with him. He felt touched by such deeds and swore at heart to keep them happy, for all their life, during the days to come.

"Oh.. you have changed much", started becoming a phrase he heard frequently from people. He started feeling like an adult.

Everything happened only after her advent into his life...

"Oh..she would arrive anytime now, and I shall take her home. My parents would be much happy", he  thought, as he awaited keenly for her arrival.

It was pretty usual that he got high every time, a few days before she was scheduled to arrive. He would start counting the days and hours, as her arrival got closer.

"Blue Mountain Express to Coimbatore is scheduled to depart from Platform 4 in the next 5 minutes" - As the announcement on train's departure was heard, he started moving towards his compartment with a confused face, wondering why she had not arrived yet.

"Tringggg" ringed his mobile. He took his mobile and saw the notification.

"Wow...finally she has arrived", he exclaimed and kissed the message with a face full of glee. It read "Your salary of Rs. 12000 has been credited to your account xx1674."
