For few months the mansion has been so beautiful and full of life, in this time, Nav have build a good friendship with Sarah, she was starting to open up more and have better conversation with Nav. In fact, he also slowly start to understand her need, there was so much wisdom and experience in this young teen girl, for a girl at age 16, she is more mature and smart, its like she knew so many thing about the mansion and this places, when she has been only for brief time and also lost sight for so long time. As time progress, Nav start to feel weird, Sarah is very adapt at this place, even though she just moved here, she can move around the mansion, in such ease, any changes of furniture also doesn't seem to bother her, its as if, Sarah was born here and raised here, or there is someone near her all the time and guiding her around the mansion and the place around. People in the mansion are very much happy and elated seeing the changes in the mansion, there is now a very happy voice in the mansion.
Nav, noted according to the people at the mansion, at the beginning, Sarah when came here, she was so timid and afraid, but after few days, she started to become so joyful and happy, she knew so many thing about the people who come worked here, she was so caring and always it as if Shara was another person at all when ever around the mansion workers, she was like a very close to them and always helped them on so many things .Many people around her also stated, that she has changed a lot since coming here, the timid girl was slowly replaced with a person sensitive to her surround, she also focused on nature, she was very joyful and happy, there was a smile always on her face, she as if knew what will other talk with her before they does. The most weird of all, She totally hated her grandfather, she couldn’t even look at her portrait, only his face made her squirm and be afraid, she always cried or shouted in anger when ever see her grandfather face, she always called the face as monster, this made Raj to remove all his father photo from the mansion, after few weeks he has settled.
Sarah also didn’t like John, she always made him stay him far from her, she always scolded him or just looked at him with anger, as the butler even try to talk with her, she will unleash so much fury on him with voice that it was like a different person at all, most time, John would look startled and afraid when Sarah shouted, so John always try to avoid her to avoid her fury, Raj had pity for the old man, so he didn't send him away, just made sure not to come near Sarah. She preferred only the new maid to be with her, this new maid was hired few weeks before they moved in, she was new to the mansion and has no prior knowledge of the mansion or it's people. All thought Sarah liked her, since she is new and also young at age around 25 only, she was more like sister to her, slowly the workers has noticed, another thing Sarah was slowly changing her tone and way of talk, was becoming more mature and soft, the innocent in it is slowly fading, her cloth choice changed from modern to more toward gowns, many old workers, thought she resemble someone else but can't be sure at all.
Nav was totally confused, he had collected so many thing about Sarah, and he is obliged to discover the truth of her problem, Nav has decided to rule out personality disorder, since there is no indication toward it, her parents has said she looked normal and has not changed at al in their view. Nav slowly checked her story, he filtered through all the workers, and the new maid steadfast she was always bright and informed, no person came to her when she is alone, so in this he has ruled out sexual abuse or any sort for violence, Nav was totally confused couldn't pinpoint any diagnosis for no . Slowly Nav, assured himself, there is something he has been missing from the beginning, but he also believe he has discovered so many things about Sarah, that she has grown more when she came here and the places has given her so many freedom and way to develop, that she has made many discoveries of herself.
As the relation between Sarah and Nav grew, she began to open up to Nav, mostly about her life in the aboard and here, how vastly different and beautiful it has been. For Nav, her voice has strange power, it was always made him to feel so strange and calm, this voice made him more calm then the medicine he has been taking for years. The voice of Sarah, always attract him toward her, but he always kept to be professional, since he knew the boundaries and trust of her parents on him, but he still was attracted for the voice made him so calm, and this voice was someone he had heard so long ago. For Nav, there also a feeling someone he know is always watching him since he have come to this mansion, he can feel the gentle gaze and soothing look, yet he couldn’t find out who it was, this view and gaze was always strong when he is near Sarah, he can sense this feeling so much, that it bothers him, he was in dilemma, since he couldn't ask anyone about anything about this feeling, since it can be his hallucination due to his refusal to take medicine, and he might be forced to admittance again, he was in so much dilemma for this feeling, that he always tried to push it into back of his mind.
One thing that has made Nav curious was, many workers has stated that Sarah, usually talks alone, when she feel no one notices, and it was not little mumble but a conversation like, especially in her room, yet many thought due to her loneliness, she has behave such, since her parents has been not in good terms, but then this all changed since, the talking has become less or can be said scarces. The whole family have started to believe Nav can help Sarah and help in her problem, but, slowly the mansion is becoming bright with hope and positives. For Nav, he also start to feel he can help Sarah and her family, but there was something he has been lacking and he couldn't decide which is it, causing her the problem, but, for once Nav was in dead end, he walked out to the mountain top, in morning so his mind can calm, and as he stand there with a gentle breeze hitting his face, slowly Nav recollected all the information about Sarah, her changes, her behavior and finally he actions. slowly the rising sun, and the gentle was giving life to his dried up skin in his face, the heat of sun and moist in the wind made him stay still for while, and as he start to think, the answer came to him, it was like the wind brought the answer for him.

After a month, after collect all data and comparing it many such issues, Nav was confident of the answer and he was sure to inform the family, Nav called Vivian and Raj, as they were in the hall, the air was so light and there was a silence of hope, all the eyes were focused on the Nav, waiting to see what has Nav will tell, the all hall fell into hush, as they noticed Nav has stood up to talk, “Mr. Raj and Vivian, let me clarify, I have checked so many things before saying this, but my guess is your daughter has Munchausen Syndrome." People in the mansion looked confused there was no voice still, Nav continued, " You see, she at first, was very happy and joyful, slowly she start to change according to this place in hope she can make you all happy, but as she start to see you both are rifting, and has less time for her, but, yet seeing her pain caused you guys to join together and no fight. She kept doing this, first time she had a cut was accident, but it made you both react for her and forget about the fight, so she start to escalate, and till she finally plan to use blindness, this has caused you both forget about all, and just try to help her. That is the reason, no treatment or pray can help her. She couldn’t see you all fight each other, worse was it lead to divorce. Now the problem is she cant keep hurting herself so much, that is the reason she imposed blindness on herself. This syndrome causes her to lose eyesight and make others believe also.” the whole mansion wass in whisper, many were skeptical.
Vivian and Raj cannot believe what has happened or process how to accept this since this is something new and unheard of, they were in confusion whether to trust Nav or he is just making it up, Nav just stood up and walked away, he want to give them the time, so they can understand all, as he left the mansion, the whisper hasn't stopped, but he didn't bother and just went home, he has the game code to fix and find the answer, slowly, as Nav already left, Raj and Vivian began to run all the thing that has happened in their life, and how much it was correct with the symptom told by Nav just now, also for few moment all used their phones to find about this symptom to see if it's truth or not. Finally, both of them understood how Sarah always get hurt only since she came here, it was intensifies when they start to get drift apart. Vivian almost start to cry, she was angry with herself, since her behavior caused her daughter to behave such. Raj start to soothe her, and not blame herself. Both of them started to cry and felt so bad their fight has caused such misery for their child. After few hours, they walked toward Nav home, as they near the place, there is loud clicking sound of keyboard and it become more clear as they neared the house, it was Nav he was so keen on the computer trying to break the code that he was oblivious to the surrounding. Raj and Vivian, had a heart felt talk with him, they shared their grief and regret, and finally after all settled, Nav just looked at them smiled and told them he will help them, and gave them the confidence.
As the sun rises from the horizon, Sarah was sitting near the window, and slowly feeing the ray from sun and breeze of wind, it was giving her heat and cold feeling. Nav with a heavy sigh, he slowly entered the mansion, and he just walked slowly toward Sarah room. As she was smiling happily, she slowly turned, “welcome Mr. Nav what brings you here sir?” she was as if, she can look at Nav, Nav just smiled, he slowly reached her, pull a chair and sit by her side, he was also slowly start to absorb the rays. Slowly a soft wind start to blew in his face and hair, it had a sweet smell of jasmine, and he was more calm and relaxed. Nav just smiled, and looked at Sarah, “You do know that you’re parents are back together, and they’re much stronger.” Sarah just smiled, "it seems, it's all thanks to your that they have been so happier and more close, my maid have informed me all this, and I'm very happy for this, but how can I be sure if it's true or not, and how long will it last?". Nav felt happy, he has really found the key for all the problem.
Nav looked at her, smiling “Sarah, when I came here, I wasn’t sure of anything, but as I stayed here, I have learned so many things about this mansion and about you, and I finally have the key to change all back to normal, and your answer just now prove it all." Sarah just smiled and nodded her head, there was some tears near her eyes. Nav voice become more stern and serious “Many would have chosen so many different ways to make their parents see, and even lose their ways, yet you choose way that most people won’t choose and made the big difference in their life. Sarah you need to stop this, I promise you they are meant to be together, and what you afraid wont happen since they have made so many changes in their life, you need to look at it, feel it, and enjoy it. You have to give them the joy and happiness they need to succeed if not they might break due to this pain you have created for them"
Sarah started to cry, she was sobbing loudly and wailing, in this few months Nav been here, this is first time he saw her cry, and he knew it was sadness washing away, slowly her parents enter her room, hearing her voice, they just come and hugged her, she was shocked, and a smile start to appear in her face, they were whispering with her.. As they hugged her, Nav neared her ears, and whispered, “Sarah, first day I entered your room, I knew your are special and sensitive since you turn to look at me, only a special person can be such sensitive. Anyhow, as I knew your needs, and since it has been settled, I guess, morrow when you wake, your sight will return, if not I guess your parents will be more sad and might part away.” Nav just walked away from the mansion, he let them have the time for themselves, slowly he felt need to let all the thing happened around Sarah to be absorbed by her, since it was very important to give her the time needed to let her process all, and understand what has changed in the mansion, and how she must respond on it. As Nav walked away, John followed him, thanking him profusely and saying how much he’s grateful. Nav just looked at him, and smiled, as his routine, again he started to focus on his coding problem in the computer. He felt at ease, and need of medicine slowly has diminished for him or he was very happy and calm, John was beside him still thanking him, and was looking at what Nav was doing, Nav just smiled and kept doing it, that he didn't realize when John. Nav slowly fall asleep hoping for a new better day morrow.
