He’s eyes just tracing all her movement, like a hawk zooming on his prey, Nav eyes just focused on her, nothing else was a matter for him, it was as if time has froze around Nav. She also kept looking at him, and moving around the crowds, in such fast, without hitting anyone, she was moving like a fish so swift and fast around people, with not even taking her eyes of Nav. Slowly she was disappearing into the crowd, she smiled at Nav, and start to disappear in the crowd like the morning mist, Nav become panic, and started to rush, move in front to hold her, yet she slowly moved disappearing into the crowd, like the mist. As Nav looked hard, she was totally lost in the crowd, he couldn't see her anywhere, there was big disappointment in Nav face, he was almost in tears for missing her. slowly the crowd outside start to enter, and make way for a person to enter.

As the crowd moved aside, like a ocean parting away, Nav was still looking for her, he was so focused in looking for her, that he was so oblivious to all the things happening around him, yet as he looked around for her, slowly, a dark shadow was starting fall on the mansion floor, and as it became big, an imposing figure walked past all the crowd, wearing a black coat and white shirt, on his hand is a walking stick, with craving of lion on top made from gold and the stick is made of a rare wood, it had intricate design on it, mostly based on lion.. He was tall, easily towering so many of the guests, big stature body like a wrestler, had a big white moustache and beard. His face clearly shows his age with the wrinkle on his face, and his hair has turned white indicate his age, yet there was no sign of weakness, he was like a lion. He was walking with such authority and power, all around him gave way, they moved so don't want to get in this lion way to avoid being prey for it.. This person was full of confidence and arrogant, he looked at all like a royal person. As he was walking toward Sarah with full brim of smile, his big white teeth is shown, he stopped a brief moment, and slowly he turned and looked at Nav, he gripped his stick, but Nav was oblivious for all this, he didn't see this person at all.. For a moment this person looked bit shaken, as he looked at Nav, and then gained his composure and proceed to walk near Sarah.

slowly, Nav regain his self sense, and noticed all looking at this person, as he was walking toward Sarah, as Nav looked, at this person from back, the guy stopped and looked back, for few seconds there was exchange of glances between them, Nav couldn't decipher the emotion in that look, but he felt not welcome at all in that, and slowly the guy kept walking, as Nav was lost in his thought, as he reached near Sarah, many were holding their breath afraid of her reaction, as she was known to be afraid of him.. As for Nav, he felt the urge to move away from here, since he didn’t feel good at all after seeing this person. Yet he was still trying to look for that women in the crowd. For he was more focused on finding her, then looking at what was happening in the front. Nav was so focused in looking for her, that all other become blank, for him, this women is more important then anything else at that moment.

As slowly this guy neared Sarah, Vivian was holding her hand tightly and giving her the support, and prepared to do all to ensure she doesn’t feel threatened or afraid. Yet there was a big shock, and whole place went silent for a moment when Sarah just run and hugged her grandfather, she was full of smile and happiness in seeing this old man. Raj and Vivian were shocked, and couldn't fathom this sudden changes by Sarah, her grandfather was so happy, that he laughed very loudly, the whole mansion was vibrating with his laugh, the sound due to echo from his laugh from inside the mansion made it more creepy then nice. There was so much joyous time, with Sarah and her grandfather were having lot of talk and fun,. It was so lovely environment for all, it was such a nice moment. Sarah slowly went near her grandfather ear to say something, hearing that the old man, had tears on his eyes.

The air was slowly getting heavy, for Nav, as if a storm is brewing, and it will involve this old person, and he couldn't understand the reason for this dreaded feeling., as he was coming near them, he was feeling more heavy, and as Nav saw the old man, something inside him made him twitch. The old man was fully focused on Nav, but he was changing glances John, then at Nav again, Nav noticed this man has no emotion to show, but he was certainly holding tight the stick on his hand, he was looking very uncomfortable, as Nav neared him, he was more fuming when he saw how close Nav was with Sarah, with Raj dictating the move to introduce person, from Sarah it was Vivian, then finally as they turn to look at this old man. Slowly Nav turned and looked at this guy, he was like a lion ready to pounce on him, yet Nav just looked at him, for a minute, Nav couldn't think of reason for this person anger on him, or his uncomfortable look, but as he looked more into this person, Nav slowly felt a pain, his mind was rushing back all his memories from his early years, and slowly he felt so much anger and pain. His face changed, his lips become red, Nav just become like a lion himself, Raj noticed that Nav was different and he start to stand straight and looked more menace and authorities, he slowly walked toward this old man.

Raja Singham hand gripped tightly the cane, he gritted his teeth and his face twitched, as Raj finished his word, the old man slowly smiled, and extend his hand to Nav.. Nav just looked at him and his hand, there was no emotion just focused and determined person in front of him. Nav had a very stern look only, not of a person pain but of confidence, he slowly accepted the hand, “Hello, sir, glad to meet you, it’s been so long time, finally the time has brought us back here hello, Anu’s father.” The old man, stepped back, he dropped the hand, but he remained in his posture, slowly looking at Nav, while Raj was frozen in his place, "Anu?!" the name was vibrating around the mansion.

The whole mansion was in silence, the dancing has stopped when this name was mentioned, this name which was almost lost in fodder of this mansion, but came back alive again, the whole mansion was murmuring of this name “Anu…Anu” many don’t know who she is, few who knew this name, looked at Nav, with confuse and question marks, thinking who is this person. How does he know of her, . There was so many questions running on all mind, Raj and Vivian, was confused, since they’re not sure of person standing in front of them anymore, they just felt that Nav who they knew as weak and lost has changed into a something else. Most importantly, How does he knew of her, his sister, Anu, the one who has disappeared so long ago. As he looked at his father, Raj was having a cold sweat, his father face was full of hatred and pain, the stick on his was slowly cracking, and he was fuming, John rushed toward the old man to calm him, while Raj stood between them to avoid any unwanted incident. Vivian, asked maid to bring Sarah to he room, and she also made the guest leave the mansion, as this two person stood their ground and just looked waiting for a moment to strike. This two person are waiting to strike, for reason unknown to anyone here, and it was scary for all around at that time.
