Chapter 3.( Banquete of strangers )

*Tirthant: "Do you know all of them?”

Not exactly...... I sow them randomly on my sister's wedding day, but I know one person personally. As we enter the dining hall everyone's eyes went on us, Avishake introduced me to them.

Avishake: " Please everyone, can I get your attention?.”

Avishake: " I'm glad to see all of you here, although you all have a busy schedule … but then, also everyone manage to attend my small party. I'm greatly thankful to you all. I will say nothing more than this and please enjoy your meal. "

No no..! It was too late to do anything, we took different seats. As I was trying to avoid direct eye contact with others.... I lost track on tirthant. He slipped my side and went to the other side of the table. I never sow such big table in my life, it was as long as two school bus placed one after another . Covered with a red cloth and decorated with golden glass plates, and a gigantic candelabra situated in the center of the table. Although it was just for show ..... but it was something worth of taking pictures. I was stuck between .... O wait .! I forgot again, my bad ... let me introduce you to the other guests. 1st one on my list is Bipine siz and his wife Sumaka siz both are NCD's biological engineers and closest friends of Avishake. They were seating next to Trithan. 2nd on my list is Polumi das,her husband Avinav das, and her son Ponav das. Yes ... ! She is that person I know personally. She is my sister's school friend, and her best friend too.... both graduated from same university. She is more than my sister friend... she is like my sister from different mothers. She supports my decision to pursue as an artist, although my sister also helps me a lot but her support was something different.... she went to my parents for accepting my decision. Sadly, we were seated too far to have a conversation. Anyway 3rd on my list is Aviake; Ritun and Reru.... they are from Avishake's department. An 4th on my list is Aakash Su and Miss Monaly, both were seated beside me. Aakash was on my right continually looking at my pants for some reason and on my left was miss Monaly, smiling at me. I was really feeling uncomfortable. Aakash was doing an AAT course in film making, he is a distance relative of Avishake. Miss Monaly work as the receptionists in my sister's department. I was angry on Tirthant, Sorry for Polumi and uncomfortable because of Aakash and Monaly present. Among all of them... my eyes are searching for the last guest, she was...?? I don't know her name, her relationship with them, what she do or where she came from. Her eyes are deep dark brown, and her lips are red, she was wearing a flower shaped earring and small butterfly necklace... what a weird combination. She was seated on the other end of the table. She was just continually looking at her plate.... I don't, 't know why, but she has a very strange vibe of loneliness.

Ring: ~ Ring: ~ (My phone vibrated)

Two new messages were received from Trithant.

Tirthant: - Bro stop staring at her...

Tirthant: - Wait a sec…! Are you stocking her?

My eyes went directly at him, and he gave me a wink (😉). Really comments like this offended me, although I get offended easily but this time I just ignored him.

Aakash: " Do you believe in ghost?”

Me: " No, I don't.”.!

Aakash: " Asahi right “?? It's your name?”

Me: " YA.!”

Aakash: " Just look at this place, perfect for horror movie "

Me: " Hmm.”(😅)

Aakash: " Just look at them?? Enjoying their life, having a great meal, but little they know what will happen next."

Me: " Excuse me??? What are you talking about?”

Aakash: " Nothing. (🙃).

Mis. Monaly: " Can I also join your discussion?”

In my mind I was saying no but in reality, I said, " yes "

Aakash:” No you can't."

I was surprised and sock from his answer, I have a problem with others who try to interfere in my personal space, but then also, I never dare to say such things to them and special not a lady of her age. Before I could say anything he smiled and said

Aakash: " No your count because we are not having any conversation. As you know a conversation occurred only when more than two people discuss about something or someone.”

Me: " 😶😶😶😶😶.”

Mis Monaly: " O I see…!”

I was confused what happened right now… Before I can react both stated giggle. I was just seating in between of two newly formed friends.

Anyway aakash was not wrong about this place... it has a spooky vibe. There was a Picture on the wall.... a family picture, maybe it's the picture of the owners or just for decoration. Mother, Father and their Daughter. Wait.... their eyes are glowing*....!?
