I recently got job in Software Company in Kolkata India .The company was located little far from center of the city and that is why it was quite distance from my home . I usually took 50 minutes to reach my home if i could catch train on time from Raniganj area .
It was night at 11:46 pm when i had to catch last local train to reach kolkata from Raniganj. The entire traveling time was 45 min . Actually in kolkata my family was staying and i chose to communte daily as my daily work routine.
One day i left little late due to heavy project load .All my office colleague were already went except me .I somehow went out of office and started waiting for rickshaw to take and go to station to catch the train. After waiting for 10 min i saw one old guy was passing by from same road where i stand so without any delay i call the guy "O Rickshawala Station tak mujhe chor do" Rickshawala was looking little creepy because his one eyes was covered with mask like Caribbean pirate .For sometime i little felt uncomfortable to insist him to confirm the ride but i had no choice since it was 11 pm in the night and my last train was to catch about 11:46 pm.
I finally get on to rickshaw .in the entire 10 minutes on rickshaw i was little scare because the guy was staring at me and blabbering something which i can not hear well then sometime he geared to fast and sometime little slow .at the road side ,Dogs were barking and rain started .
I think that day was really unlucky for me and suddenly my phone battery went off now i totally pissed off and regret to not check my phone and charge it .how if any call ring and i am not able to pick ,it might be emergency call or message .Lot of bad thought started coming to my mind and all of a sudden the rickshaw stopped and little slowly he told me to get down and pay the fare .
I looked around the station and i was surprise why nobody was there at station ,i was understanding it might be because heavy rain started and all public were seated somewhere under shades .
Anyways , i got down from the rickshaw and paid him 50 rupees and with rush i entered in station premises and started finding seat somewhere .The time was exactly 11:24 pm and i had still 22 minutes left to get the train so i just stood near to one of the snacks shop .
station was almost no people because it was already night and station was not big ,local train only halt there. i was now feeling cold because of rain and how unlucky i was because i had no umbrella .due to continuous rain i was little wet and sneezing . i confirmed myself i may be sick.
After few minutes, Train Arrive and i got chance to get on the train . i found one corner seat but anyhow entire coach i think only i was traveling .I was shock how there was no people on train and i again blaming myself that i should have not catch the train .in my 3 weeks office duty , It was first time i tried train to reach home but the experience was really fearsome. After half Travel , The train started little shaky and i thought it may be because outside it was heavy rain but again i thought how it can be possible .
Now I was very scared and wanted to finish the trip quickly so i go home .suddenly our coach power gone and entire coach became dark now i was in worst situation because my phone was already dead due to no charge and now its completely dark.
The good part was Train was keep running and hardly few more minutes left where i could reach my home but something very strange happened when Train was crossing one small station ,one little old guy jumped in train .for few seconds i stunned and then shouted on him how the hell he risk his life to catch the train .
I went near to the guy who just jumped inside train and talked but he started crying and when he turned at me i felt shocked ..
The same kind of face with one eyes covered ,i met in Rickshaw how it possible to match same look . Now i was very scared and started getting away from the man and felt to jump out of train because i was completely gone mad .
After 5 minutes , Train finally reached my station where i had to get down . It was 12: 40 am .
I reached home by walk from Home station in just 5 minutes and knocked the door of my house . My family all waiting for me to meet and talk because my phone was out of contact due to dead .
Finally they all sat with me and started talking to make calm .My wife gave me towel and wiped my face and serve food for me.I after few minutes shared the entire story of my Train Travel and office work.
They advise me to quit the work since its not convenient to commute or take rented house near to work place which i was not interested . Next day i talked to my company boss about my train experience and difficulty i faced. My boss from that time onward never let me to be in office such late for working ,he fixed timing till evening 7 pm i will work and go home safely .
I have still in my mind about that night about that creepy rickshaw driver , about that creepy train man who jumped inside train ,about Train shake and dark and about Heavy Rain . was it a coincidence or something else .
