Almost a year back, in January 2014, I was sitting alone in Cafe Coffee Day(CCD) in Raipur C.G. sipping my coffee alone around 1:00 PM. There were not many people in the cafe that time. A girl, 5' 6", lean with fair skin, walked in and sat on a table beside me. She was very beautiful. I, being a guy, kept on giving her stares repetitively. When I found her looking at me, I smiled to which she responded with a question mark on her face. After finishing my coffee, I got up to pay the bill at the counter and leave. She came around the bill counter to ask for a tissue paper. I don't know where I found the courage and said hi to her( I am very introvert and never talked to any stranger in my life). She responded with a hello. We had a small chat about the cafe and its product and ended up exchanging numbers.
We started texting each other. She told me she is from Nagpur, Maharashtra and she has lost her parents couple of years back. She was staying with her maternal uncle in Devendra Nagar, which was near to my place. After a month of text exchanges, I asked her for coffee at the same CCD, to which she agreed. We had a very nice conversation there, and she hinted me that she is single. On Valentine's day we went out on a drive, where she told me that she liked me having around and that started our relationship. During next 6 months we met many times and every time she insisted me to drop her off to another lane close to her place. She didn't want anybody to spot her with me. Also she never let me take her photograph, not even once.
In August 2014, I have to travel to Pune, for 20 days, for some work. We used to have regular conversation over the phone and texts. When I returned back to Raipur. I called her on her phone to fix up a meeting in the evening but her phone was off. I kept trying her phone the whole day but every time it was off. This continued next day and the next. I decided to go look for her in the area around the place where I used to drop her.
Her name was Trapti Banerjee. I was going around looking for any nameplate with Banerjee surname but couldn't found any. I asked few people about any Banerjees living around that area but to no avail. I had a friend named Shailja, whom I have told about her and my relationship. She always wanted to meet her but Trapti never agreed to meet any of my friends. I told Shailja about this and Raipur being a small town, she asked her friends in Devendra Nagar about her. No body have any knowledge about a girl with that name. I could not go to police as I didn't have single photograph of her.
I went into a depression, I was not getting any idea on how to find her. Months passed. I made believe myself that she have cheated on me. I started my normal routine around November. Huge chunk of work was pending in the office because of me. In Decemeber, I had to travel to Pune again for work. It was 18th December, around 10:00 PM I was sitting in Cafe Durga, Viman Nagar, Pune. That's where I saw her again walking down the street. I shouted her name, she didn't listen. I followed her. And all of a sudden she disappeared. I went blank, pissed in my pants. I cornered myself on a nearby wall, unable to digest what has happened. I was there for another 20 minutes or so. People were walking by me. Somehow, I recollected myself and came back to the place where I was staying. I called up Shailja and told her about the incident. She didn't believed me at all. She said I am just making it up. I tried telling this to few friends and cousins but nobody believed. One cousin even asked me whether I am taking drugs, which I wasn't.
Till day I have no clue what has happened. Now I have stopped telling about her to any of my friends. I know nobody will ever believe me.
