    ---Mumbai Train Station---


    A girl carrying a backpack walked out of the train as it stopped on one of the busiest railway platforms of the world. People were moving so fast. Some have come to fulfill their dreams and some were going back as the city of dreams didn’t turn to be the dreamland for them. But this girl was determined that she will achieve for what she has come from all the way to here. She was not at all nervous even when she was unaware that what to do next. She adjusted her backpack and started walking on the platform amidst the busy crowd. She looked around thinking where to go next. She saw waiting room signboard near the exit of the train station as soon as she was about to leave the train station. She thought this would be the best place for her to stay at this time. She went inside. There were different types of people from all around the country. Some were with their family, some were alone, some were getting ready for their next destination, some were relaxing and stretching after a long journey. She sat in one of the corners. Everyone seemed busy in themselves and no one noticed her in particular or that she is all alone.


    She got ready and wore the best dress which she specially carried. She took her backpack and came out of the room. She went to a restaurant situated on the platform and ate some food. She took out her phone and switched it on. She typed something on google. She came out of the station and took an auto.


    “Where do you want to go?” asked the auto driver.


    “I want to go to Juhu.” She replied.


    “Where in Juhu?” Auto driver asked again.


    She told some street address. The auto driver gave her a sarcastic smile as if he had dropped many people on that address.


    After 45 minutes, she was standing outside a posh multistory apartment. Many people were standing around the building carrying their phones, cameras and keeping their eyes on the main door of the building to get a glimpse of their favorite movie star who is a youth icon and a heartthrob of young girls and boys. She also stood there with a hope that today finally she will get to see her love of life. She will meet him and tell him how crazy she is about him that she came all over here without telling anyone just to meet him. She adjusted her dress, her hair and without getting distracted kept on waiting. She didn’t even realize that when it started getting dark and now people started dispersing. Some were disappointed that even after waiting for so many hours, they couldn’t meet their favorite actor and some were confident that what if not today, tomorrow will be sure their day. She was among the second type. She didn’t get disheartened and was ready to come tomorrow all over again. But what about tonight? She knew she can’t go to any hotel or lodge as they will ask for the ID and get suspicious seeing her alone. She thought a little bit and got an idea.


    She was back in the waiting room of the railway station. She was sure that no one will be bothered here and she can stay here. She took out a photo from her backpack and hugged and slept. It was the same actor’s picture. In all this, she didn’t even think about her family or even herself once. She was sure that she will meet him the next day and will go back to her place.


    Next day was no other exception. She followed the same routine but no luck that day as well. She came back to the station’s waiting room and slept. She looked a bit tired today. Still, the enthusiasm has not faded yet. The next morning she got up and was about to leave after getting ready when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around and her face turned white.


    “O, Ma’am… show me your ticket.” A railway police constable was standing in front of her.


    She couldn’t say anything and her eyes popped out in fear.


    “O, Ma’am… I am talking to you. Show me your ticket.” He said with a voice little raised.


    She showed her ticket with shivering hands.


    “Hmm… this is two days old. Where you have to go next? You can not stay in the waiting room like this. It is not a hotel or guest house. Where are your parents?” He asked strictly.


    “I … I am alone.” She said in a low voice.


    “What? Alone you said.” He got suspicious. He looked her from head to toe, then checked her luggage and found that she only had a backpack.


    “Let’s go.” He ordered.


    “But where?” She asked nervously.


    “To meet our Bade Sahab(Boss). Come fast.” He headed towards the Railway Police Room located at the end of the platform. She followed him silently.


    “Sir Sahab… she is the girl staying alone in the waiting room from the last two days that cleaner of the waiting room informed us about.” Constable told his senior inspector Raghav Joshi.


    Raghav looked at her carefully. She was looking frightened clutching her backpack hard.


    “Hmm… take a seat young lady.” Raghav asked politely.


    She sat in the chair. Her throat was dried up with fear. Raghav offered her a glass of water and she gulped it in one go.


    “Hmm… now tell me what is happening here?” Raghav started his interrogation.


    “Sir… Sir actually…” She doesn’t know what to say.


    “Look… it would be better if you tell me the truth. Maybe I can help you.” Raghav knew very well how to handle such teenagers and how to get the truth out of them.


    She remained silent.


    “Ok… we will do it in another way. First, tell me what is your name?” Raghav started holding a pen in his hand.


    “Shruti.” She replied with her eyes glued on the floor.


    “Where are you from?” He asked noting down the details.


    “Mirzapur, U.P.” she answered.


    “What are you doing here?” Raghav looked at her in astonishment after hearing that she has come from all the way to Mumbai all alone.


    She didn’t speak anything.


    “Look if you don’t tell me, I will send you back to Mirzapur right now and the police there will handle the case further.” Raghav threatened her.


    “No No sir, please. Don’t send me back. I have come here with great difficulty. Now without meeting him, I can’t go back. Please, sir please.” She pleaded him and started sobbing. She murmured her favorite actor’s name and told the inspector everything.


    “What? You have come to meet here just that actor. Do you even realize what big risk you have taken? What if something bad had happened with you?” Raghav was furious after learning how she has run away from home without telling anyone.


    “That all I don’t think about Sir. I just want to meet him once. Please, Sir.” Shruti was stubborn.


    “That is the problem with you guys. You don’t think about anything and take such actions. Even now you are not thinking about what could have happened with you. And don’t you even think about your family once? What are they all going through at this time? They must be going mad thinking where would you have disappeared. Give me your parents number. I have to inform them that you are here.” Raghav asked her angrily.


    “No Sir… please don’t call them. They will take me from here and I will never be able to meet him. It is my dream, sir. Please let me meet him.” Shruti’s mind was totally obsessed with just one thought.


    “And you think it is so easy to meet these celebrities. That you will go and stand in front of his building and he will come there and meet you specially. There are thousands of people like you who are in the hope of getting a single glimpse of the celebrities. In those thousands, you will be seen nowhere.” Raghav tried to show her reality.


    Shruti doesn’t know what to say but she kept on requesting Raghav to make her meet him anyhow.


    Raghav gave it a thought and called some people. After some time, he took Shruti with her.


    Within an hour Shruti was sitting in front of her idol. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Her dream came true. She was feeling ecstatic. She jumped with joy and hugged him. Raghav was standing aside looking at her craziness.


    “I couldn’t believe that I got to meet you finally. I like you soooooo much. I have seen all your movies and recently I went to the theater to watch your latest movie and that day only I have decided that I want to meet you personally and here I am. I am your biggest fan. Ohh God… I still can’t believe my eyes that all this is real.” Shruti’s happiness was at its peak.


    “That is very sweet of you. I am obliged that you have come all over to meet me only. Fans like you make us stars.” The actor said smilingly and calmly looking at her excitement.


    “You are a star. Can you please give me your autograph and also can I take a selfie with you?” Shruti asked excitingly.


    “Sure Shruti. It is my pleasure.” The actor gave her an autograph and also clicked photos with her.


    She looked at the photos and autographs and her eyes brightened. Her desire and obsession to meet with her favorite actor are finally fulfilled.


    “Shruti, I am very happy to see you here but the way you have come here was not correct. You have taken a very big risk and you didn’t even think about the repercussions. Your family must be so worried about you. You should not have come here without informing them. You are very smart and intelligent and I am sure you will understand what I am saying. Please don’t repeat such a thing in the future. We are thankful to God that nothing bad happened with you but you have to be more responsible and careful.” The actor explained everything very nicely and calmly to Shruti. She nodded her head.


    “Thank you sir for taking out time and meeting with the girl.” Raghav thanked the actor after listening to everything.


    “I should thank you, Sir, that you are doing your duty with so much dedication. What about her family?” The actor asked.


    “We have informed them and also Lucknow Police. They are coming from the next flight to take her back.” Raghav informed.


    The actor turned towards Shruti and shook hands with her, “Alright Shruti, I wish you all the very best for your future and taking a promise from you that you will not repeat such act in the future.”


    “Thank you Sir. I promise you.” Shruti said happily shaking hands with him and hugged him.


    She waved at him and left with Inspector Raghav. By night, Sudha, Vinay, and Inspector Imran reached to Mumbai.


    Sudha and Vinay looked at Shruti. Shruti couldn’t meet her eyes with her parents. They didn’t say a single word to her but their eyes said a lot - Anger, embarrassment, disappointment but still a relief that their daughter is safe. They folded their hands and thanked Inspector Raghav thousand times and boarded the train from Mumbai to Mirzapur and not Lucknow.
