Nav slowly enter the mansion, John lead him to a small room, the room was full of books and musical item, from a grand piano to a guitar was there, all looked pristine and new, but in close look all had dust as if hasn't been touched for so long time. The room was in pink color, there was drawing of animal and plants, it was in nature theme on the wall. The wall was full of scribble and well bright lit, looking closer the scribble also looks old and almost losing its color.. As Nav looked around he was almost speechless looking at luxury this room had, yet all seemed to collect dust only. On the corner, was a small girl, looking toward the window, Nav smiled, and walked toward her, she was oblivious of him approaching her. Each step made Nav feel more calm, and at ease, he felt as if being pulled to this girl, he was feeling strangely calm and in peace
The girl was soaking the heat from sun rising from the mountains, and cold from the wind, which was gently blowing from the mountain top, slowly he reached her, “the wind here is very peaceful, it always is gentle even in the wildest storm time, for unknown reason it has a faint smell of flower and the cold isn't chilling it always felt just nice”, she didn’t turn, “the smell is jasmine, the wind is bringing it from the top there's a farm on top of hill, which only has jasmine, wind takes the smell from there and bring it to whole over the mountain, this jasmine is special, it is natural and the smell is so strong.”, her voice was very calm and gentle, it had no hope or cheer just stoic sound, Nav was bit worried with her voice, but he felt this voice he knew from somewhere, slowly, “Here I thought the smell is something unique for this wind only. So Sarah, you do this everyday, feeling the wind, smell and hot from all the nature.” Sarah slightly turned and looked at him, it as if she can see through Nav soul, yet Nav felt the hazel eyes are giving him some kind feeling, it was making him feel calm, but also scared. she just looked at him with no blink at all, slowly she turned back.
“My parents told me, Mr. Nav, you have come here to treat me, truth be told, I have lost all hope, since I don’t have any need to see actually. My world is shattering, it’s nothing” she started to cry, tears were flowing down from her beautiful eyes, and falling into her lap, the maid try to console her, while the butler also rushed with towel to wipe her face. Nav just looked at her, he was feeling a pity for her, he was not sre what to say, but after few pause, “Sarah, I have come here to help you gain what you lost, so I will give my best in helping you at it. Till then built back your lose hope, and believe me.” Nav slowly hold her hand, it was very warm, Nav suddenly felt bit shock, he have felt this touch, it was when he was having panic attack in the car, he wasn't sure, but he was this warmth was from the time he was at car, Nav just looked at her, she try to smile, while Nav hold her hand tight, and just waited for while, "Sarah, no need to cry your so beautiful, you just wait, all will be back to normal." with that he walked out of the room.
Nav was so confused, but he didn’t say anything and start to walk out to meet the parents, he was escorted by John. In his mind, the touch made him think so deep, he wasn’t sure of what is happening, how the touch he felt at the car, he can feel now, he was also very sad, thinking of this girls sadness, yet he felt this girl can be helped, and by helping her, he can be able to help himself. As he was deeply engrossed, they have reached the parents room. It was a grand room, with a portrait of so many people and pictures were of them hanging on the wall majestically. The decoration is mostly based on portrait, there also so many antique items are in this room, it was in contrast to Sarah's room, this room item are cleaned and had no single dust, even the wall was in red color and white color, it screamed tradition and grand of this place the two person was standing opposite of a fire porch, he knew who they were, but the way they standing near the fire, and the shadow it made by it, made the place bit eerie and intimidate for Nav, he just stood his ground.
