Aditi kept looking at Naina suspiciously throughout the train ride to the airport.

"Why did you come Naina, and don't give me any bullshit." Aditi said, while both Akash and Avi stuffed their face with the many chocolates they had bought in the local supermarket.

"Aditi, why do you even care, its her business, not yours."

"Shut up Avi"

"Her life, let her do what she wants, did you not want her to come"

"Avi, I said shut up. This is between me and her."

"Aditi, leave her alone, Naina, I'm glad you came, I don't know how I would've survived these two on my own." Akash said, not even blinking an eyelid.

"Yeah, Naina, it's only Aditi that doesn't want you here." Avi said, nudging Aditi

"I'm going to kill you Avi!" Aditi screamed, leaping over, and punching Avi.

"I'm going to the toilet." Naina announced, feeling slightly uncomfortable by the whole situation. Akash waved to her as she got up, but didn't take his eyes of his phone.

Sighing, Naina walked away, she still didn't know if she'd made the right decision, and part of her still wanted to turn around and get off the train, and run as far away as possible from her problems. But another part of her knew that she was 21, and hadn't done anything adventurous in life, and she was only going to be young once. Up until now, her mother had decided every little thing that happened in her life. This was her once chance to do something for herself, and to actually live her life a little.

A knocking on the toilet door disturbed Naina's thoughts

"Oh my God Aditi, at least let me pee in peace." Naina shouted through the door, assuming that Aditi was on the other side of the door.

"I'm out, you happy now?" She asked, opening the door after 5 minutes.

But it wasn't Aditi on the other side of the door, it was Akash, leaning against the wall, whistling a tune to himself.

"Well, I'm not Aditi, but I've been told that the resemblance is uncanny." He smiled, tapping Naina's nose,

"I'm so sorry Akash, I thought you were Aditi because she was nagging me, and I thought she followed me here as well, because, well you know, she's weird like that, and I'm not saying that you look like Aditi, well, actually you're much better looking than Aditi-" Naina rambled, not daring to look at Akash

"Naina, I need to pee now, not tomorrow." Akash interrupted, causing a flow of apologies from Naina once again. She stepped away from the door and smiled, while akash replaced her place, standing in front of the toilet door.

"Well, have fun." Naina waved, as he closed the door behind him. Naina mentally slapped herself for making a fool out of a situation.

"Who says have fun when you're going to the toilet." She mumbled to herself walking back to her seat, where Avi and Aditi looked like they had recovered from their fight earlier on.

"So Naina, before you can escape again, tell me why you're here," Aditi said, dragging Naina down into the seat next to her.

"She can't escape, Aditi, it's a moving train."

"Maar khayega." Aditi gritted through her teeth, glaring at Avi while he laughed at his own joke.

"Aditi you tell me, have I ever done anything in life? Ever?" Naina asked, to which Aditi replied by shaking her head

"Doesn't that bother you?" again, Aditi replied by shaking her head slowly, after thinking about it.

"I'm 21 years old, I've never been to a party, I've never been drunk, my mother has decided every part of my life for me and I wanted to do something for myself. I mean, who knows when she decides that it's time to get married, I don't want to be a boring person anymore." Naina breathed, pushing her glasses further up her nose.
