Life is too unexpected on every turn that it leaves us baffle where we started and where it will take us.

Nothing is permanent, neither the place nor the people.

What remains are the memories that become your elixir for survival.

I penned down my thoughts and pasted a photograph of happy-looking faces of Margret, as usual, attacking grandpa with her warm and lovable bear hug which I stealthily took on their date.

In the other picture, Matt was on his one knee and proposing me with a bunch of oats stem in his hands.

What an oatsy way of his friendship!!!!!

I looked up and saw Matt already came with his truck. I took my bags and in the meantime, Margret and grandpa came. Margret engulfed me in her warmth and I used the entire strength of the universe to hold back my tears. Grandpa kissed my forehead. No words were used. Silence and warmth of bond were filling the gaps.

I was again on the road, heading towards Tight Screw Ville with no expectation in mind. It was just BRING IT ON.

But every mile away from the heart of Oatsjunk, every curve of the road and every particle of golden dust and sun-kissed fields were telling me something. Maybe the secret message was that it became my home away from home.

Time flew quickly and Matt was dropping me at the tuk-tuk stand.

'I seriously don't know what are you going to find in this electronic city?' Matt said while bargaining with one of the tuk-tuk drivers.

'Like I had a vision of what was stored for me in Oatsjunk?' I smirked. 'Whatever I will encounter, I am sure I can handle it.' And I patted on my muscles.

'I bow down to your strength BUT...' Again with that BUT. 'Just don't do anything crazy and be safe.' He embraced me.

'And where's fun without spice in your life?' and with that, I got inside in my colourful tuk-tuk.

Goodbyes were never my forte and this farewell was crushing me. But I had to move on and I had to let go. So, my tuk-tuk driver started the engine of the three-wheeler auto and I quickly squeezed Matt's hands. His eyes were bright twinkle and mine were red.

'Where miss?' Tuk Tuk driver broke the silence.

'To the stars.'

Driver bro looked back with puzzled eyes.

'There is a Star Zostel, right? Take me there.' I sniffled my nose and since he was constantly looking at my red eyes, I added, 'onions sting man.'

Tight Screw Ville had a robotic vibe. It looked like the land of Raymond and Gucci and I was riding a tuk-tuk in the world of limousines.

He dropped me in some part of this technological hub since its lane was quite narrow. There were roadside stalls and I was peacefully walking, zoning in my own world when someone started following me.

At first, I thought random people with their random walks but then in no time he came too close to me and grabbed my backpack.

I abruptly turned around and took hold of the strap but he also grabbed my arms restraining my movement.

'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom.

I just can't believe this. What did he think of himself?

'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail.

'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank.

'No-man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me.

'Ooooo, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh.

I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls and again I kicked. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.'

'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain and was panting hard.

I hastily went, picked up my backpack and rummaged in it and found the thing that I was looking for. I took out my Coalgate and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming.

I turned around and saw a well-built man in his early thirties maybe, standing and looking at the whole gorilla fight scenario wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlet.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth.

'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

'Why are you...' I couldn't finish my sentence when I heard movements from behind and I turned around to see stinky breath marching towards me with a knife. I quickly took out my anaconda pepper spray and sprayed at him. He halted immediately with an ear-piercing scream and I went to charge at him when someone tried to stop me by putting a hand on my waist.

'Calm down young lady.' He looked worried and I didn't know for what reason. 'Don't you know the laws of this land?'

'Why? Are we in some twin country of North Korea?' I was panting and suddenly we hear police sirens.

'Oh shit.' He looked at me. 'We have to run otherwise we are doomed.' He took hold of my hand but this situation was confusing me more.

'But why we have to run? We didn't do anything wrong. I kicked up his ass because that stinky breath was trying to harm me.' I was arguing with him in the middle of the havoc.

'Oh, you have no idea what you have done.' He was looking left and right and we were surrounded by the police cars.

'Surrender yourself, drop your weapons and stay low.' One of the police chiefs shouted at us.

'Yes, you are absolutely right. Catch this culprit but I warn you he has the stinkiest breath.' I said in a loud and firm tone.

'Carrot shut up and lay low...' He whispered.

CARROT?????

I saw few of the police officers took hold of stinky breath, he was wiggling but they had a firm grasp on him.

I smiled at them but their intimidating stare was telling a different story. One of the officers came to us and analysed the whole situation. The pepper spray was still in my hand.

'Hi, I am Brock, the officer of Mayor Square area. Can you please tell me your names and explain what happened here?' The officer took out a notepad to write our testimony.

'Yes, I am....' Rabbit started but I intervened in the middle.

'Officer, I am Scarlett and I will tell you in detail what happened. I am a tourist here...' rabbit started tugging my hand but I shrugged it. 'I was peacefully walking when the stinky breath culprit tried to steal my backpack and he also tried to charge on me with a knife.' I was depicting the whole situation with dramatic expressions. 'Imagine if he scarred me or worse killed me? The world would have lost a precious soul.'

'Yes, it would have been a great loss but then what happened next?'

Was he not concerned about me?

'Well then I couldn't loosen up a fight with failed kindergarten student..' He gave me a questioning look. 'He looked like he couldn't pass his KG, so, I just assumed. Therefore, I took out my pepper spray...' Rabbit loudly coughed at this, 'and fought with him with this sole weapon in my hand. The fight was worth watching.' I stated proudly.

'And who's this gentleman and how is he involved into all of this?' The officer asked.

Before he could say anything, I jumped. 'Oh, I don't know when the rabbit came but he tried to stop me.'

'Rabbit???' Both the mortals looked at me flabbergasted.

'Is that his name?' Officer asked me.

'Oh nooo, his teeth are like a rabbit that's why and his name...' I stopped and looked at him,  standing crossed arms and was giving me a deadly stare.

'Hello officer, I am Brayden Luke. He firmly shook hand of the officer and then looked at me, 'and my teeth are anything but rabbit.'

'Well, Miss Scarlett and Mr Luke, you both have to come to the police station. You are charged for the grave offence.'

'Sorry!! Say what???' I thought we will discuss of giving me a heroic platinum medal.

'You pepper sprayed on our Mayor and over here we take it as a serious crime.' He simply stated.

'Officer, I don't understand that which part of our truth you didn't understand....' But it suddenly hit me.

'Was stinky breath your Mayor?' I covered my mouth with hands.

'Ma'am, look behind and you will understand everything.'

I looked behind and everything seemed normal but then rabbit silently motioned me to look at something. I still didn't understand but after looking carefully, all the puzzle pieces came together and I couldn't control my laughter. Rabbit looked so dead.

'That's it miss, you both are coming to the station.' He started guiding us to the car.

'I am sorry but that's dope. I just made an incredible mark.'

I couldn't end up with more deadly note than this.
