After that day we practiced physics everyday after the class. She is actually very intelligent. She definitely talks a lot but I like to listen her as if she is my favorite music.

She didn't come yesterday. I really hoped I would see her today but she isn't here. Is she not well?

Or did she decide not to come anymore? Maybe she got bored of me? Perhaps she realized my presence is not compatible with her? Probably she is having a hangout with her friends?? I shook my head and leave the class.

Before entering the library I find her friends in a corner laughing over a junior, but she isn't here.

I feel someone's presence. Eve??

I look up but it's Mrs. Rose. Disappointment hits me.

I greet her. She smiles. "Your partner isn't here."

She is talking about Eve. So I nod. Partner? That's a new word. Eve termed it as "Physics Psychos"

She thinks both of us are psycho but in the opposite way. I couldn't agree less.

"She is at her hometown." I look at Mrs. Rose trying to find answers of the dozen questions running in my head.

"It's her mother death anniversary. She went there to visit her grave. She'll be back in two days. She needs time clearing her head"
Something heavy settles in my head. Is she going through this all alone? Did she really tell Mrs. Rose everything?

"Is her family with her?" I asked hoping she is not alone. She hates that.

"She went there alone but her grandmother and my daughter ... I didn't tell you, did I? She is my niece. I would have also been there but I failed to get the leave."

"Don't worry she'll be fine. She acts like all those big girl but deep inside she is really delicate. After my sister died, she has really become a jerk. I'm rude to her sometimes but that's for her one good. To get things done from her just like the assignments. I can see you care for her that's why I'm telling you all these. Sometimes I wonder if I am really treating her properly but I have no other ways. She needs to be controlled a bit. I love her and definitely wants the best for her."

I shook my head.

"Eve is like the ocean, Ma'am" I point out.

"She may be wild and chaotic. But as you go deep inside you would find all the beautiful treasure. And that's how she is. Breathtaking" Mrs. Rose seemed surprise at my words but I still go on

"I may haven't gone that deep Ma'am but I can sense it. Her presence will clam your mind and her waves are like the music to your soul."

"She doesn't need to be controlled. She needs to be taken care of." I add.

"Well boy I'm impressed. You need her number? "
