Zhan :- Can't tell...I never counted that way.. But maybe more than a century
Sadia :- Is that a metaphor?
Zhan :- Not really
Sadia :- You are such a show off I can see that
Zhan smiled and looked at her with the bubbly eyes of him
Sadia's pov People's really do lie about stuff. No one gets near to this place coz they thinks It's haunted. But she feels like.. It's a beautiful home. For a moment it felt like everything I was missing out is finally here
She started a conversation with zhan again as she was wondering around
Sadia:- So you live here alone?
Zhan:- Now? Yes
Sadia :- Someone used to live with you?
Zhan :- Some years ago a little girl used to visit me
Sadia :- Where is she now?
Zhan :- She died... few years ago...
Sadia :- Oh no.. I'm so sorry about that. .. Do you know how it happened?
Zhan:- She died due to ageing
Sadia:- What?!
Zhan :- what?
Sadia :- Aging?
Zhan
Sadia's pov This guy litrally looks like he is in his early twenty. And his daughter like girl died due to ageing?! I'm sure that he have some brain issues. Or how he is even telling me these rubbish so confidently?
Zhan :- Lost in your thought?
Sadia :- No... It's just. . Are you okay?
Zhan :- Yeah.. why would you ask me that?
Zhan starts to walk to the doorway and sadia followed him. As he walked out of the door he sighed and said " Heavy rainfall is coming again ". It got her kind of confused. She looked up in the sky but there wasn't a single piece of cloud and he is talking about rain?
Zhan seated on the perron.. Sadia also took seat little far from him. Suddenly she noticed the sky casted with dark clouds.
Sadia :- How It's even possible? The sky was clear few seconds ago
Zhan :- I told you right?
Sadia :- What are you? A witch
Zhan :- I once heard.. girls who are really wise and outgoing are witch.. So without saying you are the witch
Zhan pointed his finger at her looking into her eyes
Sadia :- That's kinda sexist you know...
Zhan :- What is sexist?
Sadia :- Gosh Don't talk to me
Sadia signed. She truned her recorder on. There is not much use of the rubbish that he is saying but she have to write everything she finds here. She started to look around and noticed the number 73 on the wall

Sadthra :- What is 73 Mr?
Zhan :- That's my wife's birthday... 7th march
Sadia :- Really?
Zhan :- Yeah.. Why?
Sadia :- It's my birthday too!
Zhan:- Oh
Zhan became quite for some moment.. He didn't said anything
Sadia :- Mr?
Zhan :- Look at this rain ... So beautiful
At that moment rain starts to pour. Zhao got up and walked inside.
There is something about him. Even tho she is much of a introvert by nature but he wants to talk with zhan. She is surprisingly comfortable talking to him
She followed him inside wanting to start a conversation with him again
Sadia :- Mr... Where is your wife?
Zhan :- She died a century ago
Sadia :- What?!
Zhan :- Yeah
Zhao stopped walking his eyes looks like like a really horrible image came in front of him. He does looks like someone who can hide a lot of pain with a smile on his face. Maybe he learned to live with his pain Or he is not living at all
Sadia:- Mr xiao?
Zhan :- If you don't believe me.. Don't ask anything
Sadia :- I'm really sorry Mr
She felt a little guilty
Zhan :- It's okay
He said and took seat on his sofa
Sadia :- Ummm It's almost night.. Since you are living here for a long time.. Can you tell me if there is any hotel nearby?
Zhan :- There is no hotel.. But at the end of this jungle Maya lives.. If you tell her my name she will let you stay there
Sadia :- Who is she?
Zhan :- One of the few people that knows me
Sadia :- Oh... I see.. But It's raining outside
Zhan :- The rain will stop any minutes after watering the tree's.
Sadia :- Yeah... What?
Zhan :- Yeah go to maya after the rain stops.. It will be dark here soon
Sadia :- Yeah sure
Sadia's pov Have no idea where I'll go.. But why I'm feeling like I can rely on him....Everything he talks about don't really makes any sense. But it does too... Some part of me really want to trust him.. But how?
Suddenly the rain stopped
Zhao :- You should go now
Sadia :- Yeah
She starts to walk to her doorway grabbing her backpack along with her. He also went out following her
