THE FUNERAL OF MY FATHER

As he continued to stare....

Neil entered the room with a list in his hand and directly went to him and whispered in his hears. After this, Neil left the room without even looking at me as if I was some cursed invisible ghost.

Again the place began to feel awkward....

Since he and I was alone in the room again. But this time I wanted to break through this cold atmosphere so I asked his name . He smiled on my question but it was not some kind of smile he usually had. This time it was really warm to touch my heart just like those kids with a crystal clear heart without any deception.

" You want to know my name "....

On this question, I felt like he was mocking me .

" If I didn't want to know will you leave me .."

" Is that even a possibility ."

" Fine! If you don't want to tell your name

then I will call you whatever I wish."

" You got the guts to say that at my face.

But to my curiosity what would that name

be?"

" How about Alex, is it a good name. I also

want to know the face behind the mask.

do you have any mark to hide it ?"

" Alex, is a quiet a good name. For now it

will do and for the face behind, one day it

will be revealed with all my identity."

The last words that he said felt like he was indicating some thing. "REVEAL ALL MY IDENTITY". Do I know him....

With so many questions with no answer I left the dinning room after I and he finished eating the food.

I directly wanted to go and meet Neil. However I had a confidence on my fate that l will encounter another problem...

And it didn't disappoint me. There the guy who I hated the most the guy with the mark on his face. I thought he would shout or will hit with his look but to my surprise he bowed respectfully and left without saying anything.

As I saw this I thought I have mistaken him for somebody else so to confirm I looked back again at him but he was the same person .

With that thought I again entered the room in which I was sleeping... There I saw Neil waiting for me. Looking at my face he smiled gently..

"Stella,What happened? You are too much lost in your thoughts."

" First of all , I want to know why did that guy

become nice overnight..."

Looking Neil's puzzled face I knew he didn't understand..

" The guy with mark on his face."

" Ooo! You are talking about John. He is a nice guy from heart and also best friend of the master... Anyway from today on no one will dare to criticize you. I told you before that my master has called you as his special guest. And he is at the top of all the people here , so you don't have to worry about such things ."

" If I ask one more thing will you give me a answer to it... "

"If it is not related to my master be free to ask there is no restrictions... However I will say too much curiosity kills the man."

I understood his indication to restrict myself.

Taking it in a positive way I left my inquiry and just asked him about the preparation. He said its all done and was about to leave. But again turned to me and said to be prepared... and left.

To be prepared for what .......
