Chapter 5.(Let's play a game ) Part - 1

*Game...!? Everybody was quite and looking blindly at him. I cont explain that quietness, it's looks like time have stopped for a second. But who was this young gentleman, you may ask ?? It was Ponav. He was standing on the couches, his eyes are glowing with joy and excitement. And then ...

Ponav: " So, everyone... listen…! I was talking about a game called (Its- Me). It's a very interesting game, and I'm sure you all will like it. Let me explain the game and rules ." ...

Ponav: " For playing this game we need odd numbers of player. According to the number of players there will be similar numbers of chits. All chits will be blanked except one of them, that exceptional chit will have a word written on it ' Its- Me '. Everyone will pick a single chit and the person who will get the chit with ' Its- Me ' written on it will be the target. No one can reveal there identity, and after that... we will turn off all the lights and then terget person will leave the room. After that he/she will run and hide somewhere. After 1mnit others will star there searching, but there are some rules for the search parity too, no can talk with each other no there 1st encounter. Whenever a person in dark encounter another person they have to challenge each other by saying " Its- Me .".. if the both challenge each other than they are not the real target because when the real target is challenged by others he/she cont challenge back by saying ' Its- Me ' . The 1st person who find the target will stay with him/ her until others find them. And it will continue until everyone find the target, the last person who find the target will lose the game, and also get some penalty. Finally if on one Can't find the target… then target win the game. And if someone quit or surrender in the middle of the game ... he/she have to go back to the room where the game had started. Before they quit or surrender, each one have to announce it is loudly so others can know that. So what you all think ??.”

My mind was completely blank and confused... I don't know what to say, even his mom was confused. Everyone was look at each other ... of course its not a surprise....non of us understand the rules probably and the game itself have a something weird in it. I mean 'Its- Me.”..? I never heard a game with such weird name. And playing in dark ... I mean playing in dark is ok I guess so... but playing this kind of game in a dark mansion is not ok …!

Bipin: " What will be the penalty?? “

Ponav: " It depends on you all what kind of penalty you want to set."

Tirthant: " Why we need a odd number of players?”

Ponav: " Actually it's the rule of the game ... only odd no even 😅.”

Aakash: " It don't make any sense 😒🙄. “

Riru: " So our main goal is to find the target… right ?.”

Ponav: " Goal is to find the target and don't be the last one. "

Soma: “Can we help each other ??”

Ponav: " No ... ! "

Bipin: " It sounds interesting.... there is nothing wrong to give it a try.”

Avishake: " It sounds interesting, but I thought a game that required less physical movement will be better 😅.”

Soma: " Ya...! Old man needs rest …!😏”

Everyone laughed....!

Avinav: " Son it's an excellent idea... I'm with you. So what about others ??”

Ritun: " Ask Riru ....it was her idea of playing games.”

Riru: “I'm in ...!😉😆”

Tirthant: " I'm in too…!”

Aakash: " Playing in dark will be a new experience for me ...so count me in*."

*As usual, I'm not read to play a weird game in a dark mansion. But they cont see my point, everyone was excited, and pumped up. The game itself don't actually excites them, the idea of playing in dark do. What is the point anyway?? We don't know anything about this gigantic mansion. A person without proper idea of this place can lost in a second, don't they see this ?? Or I'm just thinking too much.

I'm always complaining about this, and that but this time I'm right, if no one going to point this out...then, I will do the honer.

Ms. Monaly: " Guys what about direction ?? 😅. I have no idea about the interiors, what if we get lost our direction?”

Whatever she asked before me 😑. Currently, we have the same problem and its better if a senior person speaks. They will listen to her and I'm sure the game will stop. I'm not against the fun but there is something uncomfortable about this game. This time my sis took the lead and told ...

Soma: " Don't worry I already thought about this, and I have a perfect solution 😁."

She ordered Avishake to being the house map and light. After sometime he brought the map of the mansion and one torchlight. She called us close to the tea table and showed the map for this mansion. We are currently in the north side of the mansion and it has 49 rooms, it means half of the mansion. There are only 16, rooms that are currently under use, rest of them are empty. We are on the 2nd floor leveling room, it's also the center of the mansion. 3rd floor have 3 rooms prepared for guests, and rest are filled with old furnitures and monuments.

So what was my sister's solution you may ask ??

She told us to memorize the map, and yes ... it was her solution. According to her the main door that connects the south part of the mansion is locked , so no one cont get out of maintenance area. And 3rd floor rooms are mainly small with big windows, so people will not get lost in there and 2nd floor is under our control so there is nothing much to think here. With curious eyes Polumi asked ....

Polumi: " So, we all have to memorize the entire mape ?😦”

Soma: " There is nothing much to memorize, just have a good look at the map, and you will have a basic idea of this place."

Tirthant: " Do we have access to all 49 rooms ?”

Soma: " Actually yes …! All 49 rooms are unlocked.”

Avishake: " It a standard protocol, we have to clean each and every rooms ...two days a week.”

Soma: “It's a pain in *** to open the doors every times, so we just leave them unlocked.”

Sumaka: “What about the 1st floor??? It's also safe right?”

TO BE CONSIDERED*......!
