I walked again through the eternal passage and was able to finally able to meet Lily halfway. If they want to meet someone do they walk all this? And all the people present are mostly servants except Harry, Lily and that big brother of theirs.

Ah, I forgot to ask his name.

"Lily, what's your brother's name?"

"You mean the eldest brother right?" she seemed confused.

"Yup," I said.

"Lucas Longdust."

"Oh, can I ask you something personal?"

"If it's not too personal then I guess it's, okay," she looked happy all of a sudden. Did she want me to ask questions?

"Earlier in the car when Harry tried to shun you, you looked somewhat scared but later on your behavior changed, why is that?" it looked confusing to me. One moment she is scared and one moment she is buddy-buddy. Who is the real her?

"Well, it was important to make you come with us. The way Harry talks to people is not liked by many so I believed that you might as well reject it and his behavior changes in front of others. If I interfere in between a little bit he gets all cranky and irritated. I don't like that. So I just stopped… it's not like I am scared of him."

"Hmm… that seems reasonable," I replied.



We talked while we reached the same entrance gate I entered this mansion.

"So, I guess this is goodbye." She looked somewhat disappointed.

"It's not like I am going for good. We can still see them in school right?"

"Yeah…"

"Then, Bye. See you later," I said while turning my back towards her.

"Hey, how do you intend to go home?" Harry said while he came towards me.

"I guess I'll take a bus."

"No way, we were the ones who made you come here. I'll take you back. Get in the car." A car came from the back and stopped right at the entrance.

"Thank you."

"You don't need to be so stiff," he said as one of the servants opened the door.

"Oka- Alright," I corrected my sentence.

"That's better. Otherwise, it feels like we don't know each other." But we barely know each other.



I thought Lily will also accompany me but she had some other work so she didn't come while I sat beside Harry all alone. I was at least able to start a conversation with Lily but it doesn't seem that easy with Harry.

"Harry, you are in 'A Section' right?"

"Yeah," he replied vaguely as he looked out of the window. It's awkward. Well I am used to being alone so it is not that different for me but I thought I could at least try to begin a small conversation but I failed miserably. Maybe Lily was just the type of person who get along with everyone.

On my way, I noticed several things. The experience was somewhat different. I walk my way back so I never paid any attention to the surroundings rather I only look out for the road and cars. I don't want to get in an accident but since I am in a car I don't need to be careful. I can enjoy the view outside.

*Drip*

*Drip*

I noticed a few droplets of water on the window.

Soon it was raining cats and dogs. I saw the water surfing down the mirror. It was quite a sight. I kept on seeing them. It intrigued my interest. I could see the water droplets falling down the sky and striking the mirror, I squinted a little thinking it will fall on me.

The raindrops fell silently on the windscreen, while a mesmerizing song played at low volume. The air was cold, moisture beginning to how up the on the inside of the mirror.

If I remember it right, this type of situation has happened to me before.

When I was around 8 or 9, dad took us to a hill station but whether changed too quickly and we had to cancel our plan even though we were halfway through. Earlier I didn't know what landslides are so I thought the rain was only to blame. But with rain, many other risky things also come.

But the view from the inside car was quite good. Like I could see few droplets sliding down the mirror and I would see which droplet reaches the end first. I had fun.

Just when I was seeing all this dad suddenly opened the window.

I was surprised. I jumped back in shock. But after calming down the rain was much calmer than before, so I took out my hand to feel the rain.

One, two, and a slowly infinite number of droplets came falling at my hand. I tried counting it but lost count of it. Who would have thought that such a turn of events will take place? Well for one I didn't.



Soon we reached my house.

"See you later Harry," I called out to him just as I stepped one foot out of the car.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow. Say hello to uncle and aunty," he said politely. He told me not to speak formally but now he is the one talking formally.

Well, I say that to him later on.

As soon as I was fully out of the car I dashed towards my house.

"At last reached home. What a long day…"

I stepped inside.

"I'm home!" I said out loud.

"Welcome Home!" mom said as I saw her coming out of the bathroom holding a pile of clothes in her hand.

"I'll wash myself up. Can I use the bathroom?" since she was holding up some clothes I guess she still has some work inside. Like using the washing machine or separating the colored and white clothes.

"Ah, wait a few minutes. Till then wait with your father. He is waiting for you since afternoon." She said as she went into the other room. Didn't dad had an office?

"Okay…" I opened the gate and felt a sudden chill.

"Oh, Allen when did you come?" I saw my father sitting on the couch watching television.

"What's the temperature here? In minus?" it was freezing in here. I noticed the temperature on A/c was 16 Degree.

"What? It was so hot outside," and above all, he was wearing only shorts and a half t-shirt. Isn't he getting cold?

"Take a look outside, it's raining." I tried searching for an A/c remote to increase the temperature but it was nowhere to be found.

"Eh? Raining? I didn't expect that," he stood up and took a look outside.

"Where I the remote?" I asked.

"Remote? Ah, with remote I remember. I think television remote cells have weakened a little bit. I tried decreasing the volume it didn't. After the rain stops go but a new set of cells," he said to me.

"Give me. I'll check it," I had a doubt. I need to clear it.

"Here," he handed me the remote and walked out of the room quietly.

"Huh?" that old man. He intentionally did that.

It was A/c's remote and before I could say to him he went outside. Well played dad.
