Summary

A narrator on a train observes a girl being bothered by another passenger, intervenes subtly, and is thanked with a smile.

Abstract

On a warm, sunny day in the city, amidst the hustle and bustle, a narrator aboard a train finds solace in watching a beautiful girl engrossed in her phone. As the train moves, the cool breeze plays with her hair, and she tucks it behind her ear, only for the wind to be mischievous again. The narrator enjoys this silent entertainment until the girl notices the gaze and conveys discomfort with a pointed look. The narrator then admires the scenery outside, but the mind wanders back to the girl. When the narrator notices a man staring at her, they feel protective and intervene by standing between them, causing the man to look away. The girl thanks the narrator with a smile. The narrator seeks feedback on their story, expressing a desire to improve their writing.

A Girl in Train

Journey just started….

warm day, sunny weather

in the city, new faces

tired, stress on it,

saw a smile of a beautiful girl,

busy on phone, texting with someone maybe,

moving train, cool breeze disturbing her open hair,

she tucked hair behind the ear,

wind is being naughty and again hairs on her face,

watching all this, I am happy as its entertaining,

she noticed after a moment and gave a look on me,

it's enough to understand that look around not me.

My eyes diverted on trees seems moving outside,

Greenfields with corps, animals grazing

Naughty mind again wants to see her one time sure,

but my heart still not sure,

Intentions were pure, found no cure,

neck rotate around ninety degrees,

this time she looks uneasy, smile was not on the face,

the guy was staring at her, not moving an inch,

I feel bad for her and angry with an arrogant guy,

No fight, no loud voices I use,

I move and stand between them,

Now, guy understand the situation, looking around

One more time, she looked at me,

and smile is back on her face,

Thanked me with blink her eyes.
