'What made you become a doctor?' I asked.
'A lot of things. It was my father's dream. Above all else, it gives me the power to make people smile; the power to save lives.'
'Will you marry me?' I asked, spontaneously. I had never been more sure of myself.
'Is this April fool?'
'No. I am serious. See, I know that I am unemployed. I am not even as educated as you. I don't even look good. I have no caliber. But I love you. Will you marry me?'
'You know nothing about me. I don't like commitments. I live every day like it is my last.'
'If you marry me, I will live everyday like it is my first.'
She closed her beautiful eyes. She took a deep breath and thought for a moment. The suspense was killing.
'God, why didn't I meet you earlier,' she said.
I had no time to reply. The doors to my mouth were sealed by her lips. I thought that my head was immersed in the clouds. The people in my compartment pretended to close their eyes. But I could see the men looking at me with envy through the corner of their eyes. It was the most beautiful moment of my life. It still is the most beautiful.
The train came to a screeching halt. We had reached Tirupur station. It was hard to believe that so much had happened in two hours.
There are some moments in life which you can remember even in your sleep. For me, it was what happened at Tirupur railway station. It redefined my life forever.
'I am hungry. Get me something to eat,' said Shalini. She dug into her leather handbag and brought out twenty rupees.
'It's okay. I have money. What do you want?'
'Get me Strawberry milk to drink. And honey, I love you,' she said, earnestly.
We kissed again. For the last time.
