Nav slowly entered and looked around, the mansion is brimming with many high décor, in middle is a large antique clock. On the side there is many stuffed animal, on the top there is some saber, and swords with insignia of lion, finally there is also few guns on the wall, it looked like shotgun and rifle. For the mansion, it has a very brood vibe, so differ from the outside breeze, there was hanging so many portrait and photos from old times. As Nav slowly walked in, he felt so many eyes looking at him, it made him feel so uncomfortable and especially two pair of eyes from each side of stairs looking at him. these two eyes had such regal and royal look on it, but they also seems to be worn out and tired for reason unknown.

Two person came down the stairs from each side, there was a man in almost forty, he had a regal look, with heavy moustache. He was tall and muscular, he had almost aristocrat look and vibe, he was bit brownish, and he was almost towering Nav when he slowly come down near him. The lady was, also looked majestic, she also looked in thirty, she had bluish eyes, and she looked like Anglo facial, . She was tall and have glass like figure, she was having a whitish color, her behavior and style was Eurasian style. Both of them come down slowly, “welcome, Mr.Nav, to Lakshmi Mansion” his voice was deep and have a command on it, in this mansion the voice was just echoing round, it showed how much command he had in this house. “I do understand, that you know why you have come here, Mr.Nav ?” the lady voice was sweet, but there is almost tiredness sound in it. Nav just nod his head, and looked at them, he was still at both of the stairs, while, they both was still bit few top of the stairs, indicating their stature. as Nav looked at them, he slowly looked around for his patient, seeing this, again made sound, his voice was much more stern and powerful, it reverberated around the mansion. , “Mr. John bring her”, as he looked at an old man, he was in his sixty, slightly bald, and he had a small body, but as he walked, it was clear he still has lot of energy and pose.

The old guy went to small room, near the right side of mansion, and slowly brought out a girl, she was wearing cream gown, and almost 15 years old. A young maid was holding her hand, and bringing her to the lady, Nav can notice all the people in the mansion are becoming sad, just looking at this girl situation. The girl, was slowly walking holding the maid hand, she was looking timid and afraid. Yet Nav noted, even though she was being guided by the maid to the lady, this girl was walking very calmly and expertly, and it was as if she was being guided another person, as she come near the lady, the atmosphere in the home change totally, it felt like a heavy blanket fall on the mansion. Nav, noted the girl using her hand to feel her around, and walking slowly near the lady. “This is my daughter, Sarah” the lady voice trembled and slowly lost its regal, the mansion owner also can be clenching his fist in despair, and slowly heaved, he looked almost beaten.

“Mr. Nav, my girl has been blind for almost a year. She has suddenly lost her vision, we have brought her to many places for cure, from medical to spiritual, nothing have gave us answer. Doctor say, her eye nerve and all are function normally, spiritual said there is a spirit haunting her, and it want to full its mission, we have done so many prayers, exorcism, and also medical treatment, there was no vain. Then my family doctor recommend to seek your hospital help, so she doesn't fall into depression or any other unwanted issue while our doctor plan another treatment for her.” her voice was clear but there was tremble in it. “Mr.Nav, we cant admit her, please try to treat her in this home, she is our precious, also its our prestige issue, help us in this Mr.Nav” the lady, was visibly shaken and almost in tears and angry due to this guy only thinking about his prestige and honour not about this poor girl. Nav just shrugged his head, and nodded agreeing for it.

Nav just looked at them, they sound so desperate, and their body language is fully shaking. Slowly Nav, looked at the girl, she had a small frame, and looked like twelve, there was clear sadness in her face, she didn’t talk any word and just stand holding the lady hand, while another hand was near the guy, the mother was holding her hand, while the guy was still clench his fist, and this girl was holding his fist. As Nav looked at her, he felt, bit confused, for he felt like he have saw this face somewhere, he also felt a calmness in his heart and mind after so long, this girl was making him remember so many things, but all was in haze and foggy. His mind and heart strangely felt at ease, and there was this strange vibe or aura from this girl, pulling him toward her, its like so many thing is making him lose his focus. Nav just couldn’t sense anything at all, he was only looking at the girl, as if to ty see her soul, and find out the reason he's being pulled, he was not sure of why its happening, his mind and emotion are sin so much confusion, that it seems he has forget how to speak, and worse he was oblivious to his surrounding, and not sure of time and space, slowly Nav regain his sense. “Ok, sir, and madam, I will look into this, for now I prefer to stay at outside somewhere. Where I can feel more free, but I’ll come here and try my best” his voice was clearly shaken and he still had the confuse look, as he slowly turned and walked out, he felt that girl was looking at him, and can see him clearly, he swiftly turned, yet the girl was looking at her mom, as he walked out, he can feel someone is looking at him, and these look isn't menace but calm.

The old guy, picked Nav stuff and walked with him to a house outside the mansion, as they walk slowly, Nav looked at the old guy, “sir, your name?” the old guy just smiled, “my name is John, Mr.Nav, I the butler of this mansion, I lived here almost 6 decade, i thought u would heard my name when master called me." Nav just smiled, "sir why everyone here look so sad, what has happened here?" the old man stopped for while, heaved heavily and slowly walked again, "sir, this was a beautiful place full of laughter and fun, sadly from last year this place lost its charm, since the charm and live of this mansion was our young lady,before that there was many parties and event happened here, now they lost the charm." Nav nodded his head, "so what are you're madam and sir name?"" Madam name is Vivian, is from Europe, she came from a big aristocrat family there, as for Sir, his name Rajan, sir, is very strict and always emphasize on heritage. They meet in Europe, while Sir was there, and got married, they were such a lovely couple, but sadly past few years has been hard on them, and it has caused so many pain for them, hopefully god will help them to overcome it"

Nav was still deep in his thought thinking, why the girl face gave him such calmness. Nav was shocked to know the grandparents are not living with them, they are staying at different place and will visit only on Sarah birthday, which will come on 3 months from now, he was totally perplexed thinking, such big mansion is home only for three person, while others only work in it, even their grandparents live afar, he just smiling thinking the irony of life, they came near a small cottage near end of mountain, where it was clear to watch sun rise.

As Nav entered the house, he looked at the place which is going to be his home for few months, slowly Nav smiled, the old man noticed, “why sir this smile?”Nav just smiled, “nothing sir, actually last time I living here, my only home was a big hall, which I shared with almost 20 kids.

The old guy looked at him very closely again, he's face changed from glad to very serious, its as if he looking deep into Nav soul. Nav just looked back without blinking, slowly the old man started to smile, and his old composure came back, Nav was still confused.

“Nav Sir, I'm so sorry, when you say that place many memory came back, and no wonder I felt I knew you when you enter through the door, looks like you're from here, your face looked real familiar, but your not who I knew from that place, he was different person, and sadly he passed away already,, anyhow please don’t tell anyone in this mansion where you are from, it’ll be a big help, that place has given so many unwanted memories to people her” Nav just smiled and looked at him, “sir I left this place so long ago, after almost 20 or 25 year ago, I come back here because I was asked for help, if not I wouldn't come here, so I don't think you knew me Mr. John. I just remember few things here, and that also more due to surrounding then people, so don't worry, and even I don't remember much of all that happened here, I have lost so many memories from accident There has been so many memories coming here but mostly it's all is hazy , yet I usually live on the foothill, this place also new to me,, so I don't guess much problem for anyone I’ll remember your advice sir. I wont tell my origin, or place" Nav smiled at the old man, and was happy seeing the old man has slowly back ti his old self.

Finally Nav was all alone, he looked as the old man going swiftly toward mansion without turning back, Nav just sit down, and fixed his desktop, his only property that he cherished so much in his life,. As it slowly came alive, Nav looked at it, with a serious look, slowly he opened a folder and start to type on it. It has no title, he start to look at it, and start to type on it. Nav was so engrossed in doing this, till he didn’t realize the sun has already set, he only come to senses, when John brought him food. “Mr. Nav are you ok, what are you doing in this old desktop?” Nav looked at him, “sir I’m doing a coding, this is been my quest for almost 20 years. Person who did this is a genius, there is hidden picture in this program, that can only be known when I crack the code, each correct code, reveal a part of picture and will lock it till, all the code is done correctly. Its been ten years, I have almost done it, there is few only, more code left for me to fully read the message” the old man, saw how eager was Nav when giving explanation of it, he can see how much important this was for this young guy.

John just smiled at him, he looked at Nav and smiled, “come boy, lets eat, you can do it later, today I’ll join you for dinner, this old man can sense it you haven't had good dinner with anyone for so long, looking at your body and skin, you almost look like vampire, come boy, eat from now I'll join you till i see some flesh in your body” Nav was almost at tears, this old man word made him to shudder, thinking how many days he has been lonely in this live, with no one to share anything, he slowly joined him and had dinner. They talked about the John family and his family, they also good chat about this place and how much beauty it hid inside it. Nav was feeling so happy, that they forget the time, as they parted, it was almost midnight ,and that night he slept peacefully, he didn't take his medicine since he felt to sleep, is it because the friend he fund, or air from mountain wasn't sure, but he slowly went to sleep.. As he was deep in sleep, Nav start to hear a whisper, it was incoherent, but slowly the words start to become clear, it was his name, it was very faint, but he can hear the voice of a women, this voice seemed so familiar. Startled he wake up, it was almost sunrise, he looked around frantically, there was no one around. Nav start to sweat, but he felt the voice was so familiar and it was calming. Nav, remembered he didn't take the medicine, and it could be the effect of not taking his medicine. He was totally confused, since he can sense the voice was real, and it was so familiar, it wasn't scary or vile, the voice was calming. Nav was deep in thought, but as he As John come to bring to mansion, he put this thing in the back of mind, the old man was in good mood, he was jovial, “sir hopefully you can ensure our princess, is ok and doesn't fall in any unwanted mental stress” Nav just smiled, and after breakfast, he start to walk toward the mansion with the old man, Nav was still confused what help actually this family needs, the wind was very chill in the morning almost to the bone, but for Nav it was like embracing him, and the smell of jasmine flower from the wind that blowing from the mountain top, strangely makes Nav mind much more calmer. “The new game starts today” he mumbled,a nd slowly entered the mansion.
