C U 2MROW @ 9 (October 22, 2016)

The red LED display read. Keeping the bag on the floor Mannu took his seat.  

The cell phone in his pocket had been beeping continuously for the past few minutes.
Messages from everyone, including Major, Abhi, Nitesh, Anky, Sattu, PP and Shubh left no space empty in the inbox.
Thank you all for support...Will surely tell the whole story as I reach back..

Mannu typed the message to the whole group and he was on my way to spend the best little holiday of his life. He wiped his palms, swallowed the saliva and nervousness in and thanked God as the engine surpassed the threshold of friction. And the wheels rolled.

Next moment he got Pia’s call. No hello. No hi.

“Got the seat?” She questioned impatiently.
“Yes darling.” Mannu replied, relaxing against the window.
  “Are you really coming Mannu?” Pia questioned again.
“Yes darling... We are meeting tomorrow...”
“Wow! I am so happy my baby... I love you...very very excited...I’ll come for max time you don’t worry. I have told Mum...” Pia said from the other side of the phone.
“I forgot one thing...” Mannu said to her, pretending to be confused.

“What? What happened?” Pia questioned and Mannu could sense the degree of nervousness in every blink of her eye.
“I forgot which cheek of yours tastes like honey and which tastes like strawberry?”  
“What!” she exclaimed.
“I’ll have honey in the morning and strawberry in the eve...” Mannu said, with a coy smile.
“Bye for now... Keep the bag safe. Miss you more from now...” Pia said nothing. Mannu knew that a girl’s silence is always a late ‘Yes’.

The train paced up in minutes.

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh...
Juliet...Oh; Juliet
This guy’s in love with you don’t forget...
