Train tragedy! ! OR comedy? ?

Let me retrace a few steps and tell you another story. This one took place around five years back. At that time i had AA in my life. That day we were returning from delhi. As usual we were waiting at platform number four of new delhi rail station. The train was supposed to arrive at 3.45 pm and leave at 3.50 pm. The train arrived. We both hopped into a compartment. Unfortunately there were no place to sit. Being a guy it was ok for me not to sit but she being a girl it would have been a problem. So i decided to get down and search for a compartment which has some place to sit. AA resisted this idea. I assured her that the train is supposed to stop for atleast five minutes and won't be leaving so soon. After a slight argument she yielded. I got down. And she followed. She had hardly got down from the train that it started to move along the platform. I was stunned. It wasn't even three minutes. I told her to jump back to which she blatantly refused. The train moved on. But this entire situation was so funny for me that i couldn't help laugh. This i realized was a grave mistake. She accused me of being a nonsensible guy, someone who laughs at everything and doesn't take life seriously. And trust me the more she shouted at me the more the entire situation looked hilarious. And i couldn't stop laughing. She didn't speak for the next few days.
