   The train reached the station, We took our bags and got down. I knew that she would take up the conversation and waited for her to start with it.
"So where will you go?" She asked.
   I shrugged my shoulders and started picking up my bags.  I was determined not to have eye contact.
"Come home" she paused for a second and said,
"If you want to".
You okay with that? I asked looking straight into her eyes which I never wanted to do. And suddenly I  remembered my grandmother's late-night story where the hero gets hallucinated by looking into the eyes of a witch.
" Shut up and just follow me," she said and started moving.
"What the hell man?" I ,Adhev Krishna, the charm of the college following this dumb face girl?
I thought to myself but for some reason, I realized I was following her.
We happened to see a cab and got into it.
She directed the driver from the back seat and I was seated at the front.
"I've never met this kind of a girl in my life, My God how thick skinned she is, " I thought and sighed.
     The cab stopped and we got down, she opened the gate placed her bags on the floor and the next thing she did will make you feel she was a psycho.
There was a small but beautiful garden on the left, she sat there and started digging the soil. " what the hell are you trying to do?” I asked sitting beside her. She laughed at me and said " Wait and watch" For a minute I felt like I was taken to an asylum, but I had to laugh when I found what she really did.
"Who has this habit of burying keys?" I couldn't tolerate and I had to laugh my ass off.
"Enough of this" she got up and I had to stop laughing and we headed in.
Whatever it is I loved the house it was spacious, neat and beautiful.
"Do you have a problem with this?" I asked just to verify if she was okay with Adhev in Aadhya's home.
Do you think I am a sadist? She shouted almost angry.
Lemme ask you something, you don't have the habit of answering questions?
She started walking with the same just_get_lost_face and went upstairs.
I felt like an unwanted guest. I placed my bag near the sofa and sat there checking my phone.
"Mr.Dhev" she called out, from upstairs "You can stay here until night, and if you tell me where your home is I can book a ticket for you. just for now you can come up," she said and went off. And I felt like killing this girl.
I went upstairs there were two rooms, the door of the first room contained a sticker stating "DARE TO COME IN" and It was understood its Aadhya's. 
I stepped in and found it opposite to her, very tidy and quiet.  There was a painting of a girl, a long_haired girl and it was awesome!
I pulled out a chair from the table beside and sat there by myself, yes I was an unwanted guest.
"You drew this?" I asked her breaking the silence.
"Yeah, I did", she kept her mobile aside and we faced each other.
" Is that you, I asked not knowing what to talk." And she smiled, actually laughed.
"Have you heard of Pocahontas?" She asked taking out two printouts from her laptop desk handing it over to me.
"No idea" I shrugged
She is a Disney princess, with a bold spirit.
"Interesting," I said and stayed quiet when she described the whole story of how Pocahontas saved John Smith's life. We had no idea of how time went fast, and a calling bell interrupted us.
" It must be daddy " she said and ran down and I followed her.
I never thought Mr. Dhev would be so young, and this charming. He appeared to be in his thirties. "Hey dhaya" he hugged her and gave a forehead kiss and there was an introduction scene of mine. We spoke more and explained our curriculums. Both of them were so kind and so friendly that I turned up liking them. We had dinner together. I tried leaving but since her father insisted me to leave in the morning, I had to stay at Vishwa's room.
This evening was something more than expected.
Uncle and aunty stayed down and we went upstairs.
Aadhya went into her room, collected a pair of speakers and we decided to go to the terrace.
"Should I book the ticket, for you?" she asked.
"Where? Do you even know where I stay?"
I laughed.
"You never told me this." She told.
I can tell you this but what assurance I have that you will not push me down from here.
Whaaaat? She asked in a different tone.
Okiee, cool. I liveeee two streets away from here. I said - I stopped and faced her.
All I knew was this girl was ready to kill me with her beautiful eyes widened with fire.
