Black Love .. Part 2

If you havent read the first part, read it below!
--------------------------------------

Thats when it happened... One evening, as Rahul was planning to leave for home he offered to drop Nisha at the railway station. It was one of those unbelievably cool days in Chennai. And it was the first time any woman had sat on the pillion of his bike, of course, not counting his mom and sister. Well.. ask any man and he would tell you how much such things matter to us ;-)

Nisha was a li'l hesitant but later agreed on knowing that the station was actually on his way home. And thus they got to spend more time in the evenings with each other. He soon knew everything about her and her family. He knew that she shouts whenever she gets angry, though he never saw her shout. He knew about her terrible stomach-aches once in a while. He even knew that her parents wanted to get her married off to her distant relative who was in the US and who was also quite keen on marrying her. And that she wanted to work and earn another couple of years' salary so she can ensure her brother's admission into the engineering college of his choice.

For her part, she knew quite a lot about Rahul too. She knew that he was quite an atheist, who thought that praying to God for oneself was a sign of selfishness. She knew he had a complex about his squintish eye. She knew that he can spend the entire night watching movies. She even knew about his ex-girlfriend from school who was a bombshell, quite literally!

This went on until one fine day that Nisha learnt of her impending long-term assignment at the client's site. She had gotten her US H1B stamped some two months back, but she never imagined she would actually get to travel so soon. She was to leave that weekend...

In a way, she was happy because she would get to earn more. And Rahul was happy for her. Little did they know what was in store for her on her supposed day of departure...
