Act 1:
Introduction:
An old lady accompanied by a young man lugging a couple of suitcases/bags get on to a crowded compartment of the train, when it halts at their station. The old lady seems to be in command, as she leads the young man through the crowded compartment, and then decides to take up reserved seats (which arent theirs) in the adjacent compartment, which isn't crowded. The young man goes with whatever the old lady says, obeying her directions without questioning them. Evidently to avoid conflict or argument, but does not appear to be too submissive either. Their characters are established that way.
Act 2:
Rising Action
The incident with the man who returns to the wrong seat, and thinks that the lady was using his phone contributes to making us think that the lady is stubborn, and that she is wrong. But the man turns out to be at fault, when the ticket inspector resolves their issue. This contributes to the rising action.
The men who've actually reserved the seats the lady and the young man are sitting on, get on the train, and try to get the lady to give them their seats. The woman keeps refusing. The Ticket Inspector resolves this again, giving her a vacant box. The lady keeps up with testing the young man's patience, calling him back when he's having a conversation with a girl (who is related to his past). The young man seems to take it all in its stride, avoiding an argument. This in turn, seems to empower the old lady a lot more, and she keeps pushing his buttons. This is the build-up, as the viewer is obviously expecting an outburst, or a resolve, or probably a reason why the young man is almost unperturbed. We also get to know that they're going to her husband's funeral amidst all this.
Climax : The lady finally succeeds in getting on his nerves. They have an argument, and the young man grabs his bag and leaves the lady behind. The lady at this, is helpless, or atleast realizes her helplessness, in a way.
Act 3:
Falling Action
The lady walks down the entire train, looking for the young man. The station at which she has to get off the train is also fast approaching. The final suspense builds up, with every carriage she looks into, and every compartment she walks through.

She finally resigns to the fact that the young man isn't coming back, and she goes back. The man who accused her of using her phone, helps her with her luggage.
Catastrophe/Purgation: She stands at the station, looking quite helpless, but probably still in hope that the young man might just come back to help. Which doesnt happen.
The woman, quite alone, sits atop her luggage with all hope lost about the young man coming back, as the train leaves the station.
