He drinks during the whole night; he is vociferous and curses fate for losing all the money earlier in the day. He lost a whole 1 million $ in stocks during the day and with that he lost all his clients that he earned during the last 2 years. With another bottle of vodka tucked in his coat, he ventures out into the open and goes to the railway station. He takes the ticket to the last station of an unknown journey.
The train comes to a halt at the station and its doors open. He waywardly enters the compartment and looks around. It's empty except for the lone blonde sitting at the end of the compartment. He stares at her and takes a seat near to her. He takes out the bottle of vodka and because of the sudden halt, the bottle slips and breaks on the floor. He then feels a soft touch on his back.
She caught hold of him before he was falling down and puts him back on the seat. After some silence, she initiates a conversation about the beautiful sky and the twinkling stars. He obviously isn't interested and gives random stares at her. She passionately speaks with her angel like voice about her childhood, her college life and the best moments of her life. Uninterested till then, the mention of the word Paris ignited some feelings in him.
Apart from stocks, he loved Paris for its architecture and always there was some charm associated with the city. Slowly he gets interested in the talk and he too shares some of his happy experiences. He starts to feel good and the talk goes on for a few hours. They start to have feelings for each other & a look into each other's eyes is accompanied by a sweet blush.
They gently kiss each other and then she gives a beautiful smile at him. He closes his eyes in happiness and says "I love you". There's no response and when he opens his eyes, she isn't there. He looks down and she's battling for her life. He gets down fast and takes her in her arms. She looks at him for one last time and dies. He's shocked. He then tumbles upon something in her coats and finds medical transcriptions. He quits stocks and becomes an architect and she becomes his inspiration.
Moral: Love is all about the small moments. Memories don't leave easily.
