Traveling Without Ticket

                  
        Are you from Nepal ?" this question made him surprise but I recognized him as my protector at that time. "Yes!" he curiously replied and we talked lot in own language. I explained how I suffered there and he could help me. I haven't any guidelines to return back to Delhi from Ahmedabad Railway station in Gujrat.
It is very difficult to leave our family, friends, relative and native land. I knew that time when I left my home. The worried and sad eyes of my parents had shown the reality of a low class family as their obligations. It was not my desire to leave my native land but was my obligation to handle my responsibilities which were and are always follow me. Whether I consoled my father by saying that he need not worry about me because my cousin brothers are there for me but how can I erase his experiences gained in another country as a worker for many years.
       I also explain how I robbed in a train while I slept and when I waked up I found myself here in Gujrat. I have suspect on that guys who were sitting against me had sprinkled some poison-able thing and made me unconscious. Firstly he seemed as if he did not believe on my words but when he saw the pains and reality in my eyes and appearance he persuade. He put his hand in the pocket he only found Rs.50/- rupees and handed to me. His eyes were filled with kindness and sympathy for me. He also guided me how to return back through train to Delhi without ticket. I heartily thanked him and returned from the station.
                Now I was traveling without ticket lot of ill-thinking were playing in my mind. I adjusted myself in the crowd of people in the train. It was my first experience in train, whenever I saw TT's (the men who check the tickets) I used to hide myself in the toilet of train's wagon.
Finally the train reached in Agra Railway station suddenly a TT officer enter in the wagon and unfortunately I and two other guys grabbed red handed. I tried to clarify but he shouted and brought us to the custody. He tried to get some money from us but we hadn't.        

               They four were cover by many police officers all are in a queue. One officer was asking questions one by one with them and punishes them too. I was curse my fate and pray to god inside. Finally its my turn and was standing in front of the officer, “Why you travel without ticket?” he asked me loudly, his eyes seemed to red in color with anger. “Please forgive me sir! Earlier station someone has stolen my purse and bag; therefore I hadn't money with me. I was obliged to travel without ticket because I have to go to Delhi.”I said anxiously.

“Where are you from?”  One of them questioned.

I introduced myself and explained all circumstances that happened with me honestly and without hesitations. I also added that I is a simple Nepali citizen who can do mistakes but never cheat or lie with others. “I think he is telling right sir!” one of them said to the inspector.

“He might right but traveling without ticket is punishable, he broke the law” inspector replied but after convincing some other officers he ordered junior officer to punish me. My punishment was to clean all the area of police station. I found myself lucky and internally thanked the officers who became positive with me. I worked hardily two three hours and an officer who pleased by my works gave me 100/- rupees and asked me to return. 

I gladly returned back to Delhi to my cousin with the help of those hundred rupees and heartily thanked him. 

I really thankful to the Nepali people who worked honestly in another country and introduce all Nepali as sign of honesty and hardworking.

Thanks
