Chapter 5
It was 8 in the morning. Payal came downstairs and found some servants cleaning the dining table. "Where are others?" she asked. Everyone else has already had their breakfast, what would you like madam?" asked the servant. The girl asked for some bread and butter. While having her breakfast, she started thinking about where to start the search from.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Nikhil as he came from his room and sat beside her to talk. Nikhil asked her about her life and what she was studying. He wanted to know about Lajo but before he could ask anything, the girl said: "How do u know my aunt?"
Nikhil became a little dazed. He didn't know if he should answer or not but then decided to be quiet. "ummm aa Your...your aunt was my friend. Just a friend, I didn't know her very well."
"But the reaction you gave when u first read that letter was not supposed to be from a friend who does not know her "WELL"...Although I am unaware of what was written in it and just followed the address written behind the letter but still the reaction u gave was a little unexpected. But that's ok I wont force you to tell me if you don't want to." The girl left the table saying this.
It was 2 in the afternoon. No one was at home. Nikhil had gone to his office, while his son was in his university. The girl thought that it was the right time to look for something important in Nikhil's room. She went to his room taking care that no servant sees her. She started looking here and there to start her search. She explored his drawers, his cupboard and everything else in his room but didn't find anything useful.
She was about to leave when she realized that she left the book shelf unsearched. She searched some books and found a photo of Lajo behind which was lajo's old address written. She became happy at her baby step towards success.
As expected, her next destination was obviously going to be Lajo's old house. She now started looking for a good chance to visit it without letting anyone else know about it.
