On his way back to the changing room, after performance he heard about the book release of the author 'TOM' from Mr.Feng, his hair stylist. Mr. Feng is a die - hard fan of this author and he made all the crew members a fan of TOM. ' I wonder who Mr.Feng and my crew loves more. This handsome me or TOM' Eddie wondered.

" Eddie you must try Tom's new book. It is a romance novel but the feel you get from this is unexplainable. You will love it. Indeed you lack romance." said Feng passionately and handing him a book wrapped in gift paper.

" Oh! Mr. Feng, I'm sorry. Reading is not my cup of tea. I could practice my new album by the time I read this." said Eddie showing his hatredness."

" No,Eddie you must try it. I won't give you something not worthy. Just a few pages and I assure that you will like it. Spending time on this kind of novel isn't a waste. If you don't like it, I will never mention his name or books ever in front of you. I promise." Mr. Feng was confident while saying it.

" Alright, just few pages and if I don't like it, you are banned from mentioning his book or name again." Knowing Feng will not leave him until he agrees to read the book, Eddie agreed and took the book from Mr. Feng.

Unwraping the book he noticed the title of the book " THE FIRE IN MY HEART" by TOM. He turned over the book and flipped a few pages eagerly to see the author's picture out of curiosity.

There wasn't any picture of the author in the book, not even a brief description, all that's said about was the novel and it's popularity. Many famous people has reviewed the book. ' Indeed he is famous world wide' thought Eddie. He turned pages and looked in to the Dedication page.

"To my friends and to all the good readers world-wide.

' What!!! just this much? and no name or persons in specific? What the heck? Is he an Orphan? Why doesn't he mention his family​? Not even a lover? That's weird!!! Eddie thought and took his phone from the table and Googled 'TOM the author of The Fire In My Heart.' To his surprise there wasn't any picture of TOM and all he got to know is TOM's famous works and criticism. ' No doubt, TOM is the pen name of somebody' thought Eddie.He read a few pages and find himself immersed in the book.

After an hour Eddie Marked a page and went out taking the book with him.

A pair of eyes were following him and soon Eddie left the changing room a call was made and said

" he left the changing room and will be on the road with in ten minutes. Be ready and do not make any mistakes" and the call ended.
