I had to accept that I hate travelling. I am more comfortable at home and my own space,rather than out at someone else's. Sid lived around 30 miles away from my place and had to take a train. I sat near the window trying to enjoy the view. That's when I saw a person standing next to the door. He was young ,in his early twenties, wearing luxurious stuff with a watch that could easily identifiable from its brand name and costs around 800$. What is a man of that kind doing here, I thought.He excused himself and sat opposite to me.

"Nice weather , ain't it " he said to me. I just kept looking out as if I didn't hear what he had said. His British accent made it look as if I was in a Harry Potter movie or something.

"I'm Travis ."he introduced himself this time unconsciously I turned towards him and I knew I would regret it,later.

" Yuri " I said and went back to my sight viewing.

"So, where are you off to" he asked .

"Can't you just stay quiet." I said annoyed.

"No.. you see it's my first time travelling in a train. Since, I always use my private jet." He said with great enthusiasm.

"Wow!" He said sitting straight opposite to me and watching the scenery.

I ignored him. I didn't know what or how but I found myself sleeping . When I woke up I saw that I had slept for around an hour and missed my station. My opposite seat was empty. Atleast one good thing happened.I decided to catch a taxi and go back. As if I had a choice.

I paid for the taxi and turned to look at the huge palace kinda house of my friend. Here, it goes I thought.

"Anna ! You look so beautiful dear. How have you been?" Sid's Mom has always been kind to me. She was in her late fifties but looked nothing like that. I need to know her secret anti-aging products.

"I'm good."I told her smiling.

"Sid's gone out to get his suite ."she said as I scanned the room in search of him.

"Oh, alright."I said.

"Come on in ".She said as she led me to the living room packed people.

"Don't just stay there with your bags. There are too many empty rooms upstairs,I will ask Roy to get one opened for you." She was excited.

"Just get refreshed and we can have lunch" She said.

"Maratha!" One of her relatives called and she left me saying get ready and comeback.
I was scanning the house in search of certain someone whom I was supposed to meet if I had to come here. I was relieved when I didn't see him anywhere.

"Let me take your bags ,Miss." Roy said.

"Roy !" I went to hug the oldman. He has been their butler since I was a kid.

"Hahahaa... How are you dear ?" He asked me.

"Been good , Roy."I said beaming with a smile.

I planned not to go the living room for the rest of the day. It would take too much of my energy just to be in same room as about twenty people.

Roy led to a room upstairs and let me in.

"Thanks Roy !" I said as he patted my head.

"It's been such a long time, ain't it."he said.

"Yes,Roy"I said.

"Are you with someone?"he asked.

"Umm.. No." I said bluntly.

"You know that life-" I cut him off.

"I know, Roy. Please... Don't" I said to him.
