In a Jiff

The local train that slows down to halt, stopped at the station, in a jiff.

Jessa stands at the door of the ladies compartment, gave way to the rushing crowd. There was utter chaos at the platform due to the heavy rains. The crowd managed to rest their footsteps in the little gaps.

The sun kissed the horizon and sky was clear. The girl saw the passing lanes, very dim and slippery. The grasses, the weeds behind the passing rusted iron bars had sparkling water onto them.

The sunny, bright light coming as a hue from the big trees was settling down fast giving way to the mist of clouds. The little thunders and the heavy rain filled all the meager breathing places among little dwelling places of big city Mumbai.

The sprinkles of water present everywhere, dropped on her soft cheeks.

She caressed the droplets with her timid fingers and her heart felt heavy. The childhood memories flashed daunting her. They lightened up the scenes of boy’s mimicking her of the layer of mustache added to her skinny childlike face.

A jolt in the moving train amid the sounds of rain. The fingers grazing on the cheeks felt they were on a field of grass. The tickles caused by the enormous hair growth on her silver lined face. The perfect face-cut with the most beautiful features, though studded with pearl like outbursts.

All the beauticians, Derma care clinics, doctors, Ayurveda and even grandma’s procured ways tried and tested. The loopholes of the newborn days couldn’t be rolled out.

The rustles-hustles of the large enduring world brought her back to the little beauty of the soul and detangled her gloomy emotions of the looks. Here station to the home with lovely people was the next. With the strong gleam in the eyes, she tied her silky smooth, shiny hair into a neat bun, straightened her back, shaded the scars with a bright smile and gracefully walked down her road. And the dampness of tear still remained.
