The gate man had turned to the bouncer now. Alves had to move his gaze from the gate man to the bouncer. He was waiting patiently for what the gate man would do or say. "Well..."The bouncer who was bold and upfront earlier seemed to had lost the drive as he stuttered,"I mean, we saw the gate bend. Didn't we? He walked right through it..."The bouncer seemed to had been pushed into a hall divided into labyrinth. The hall being his state of mind, and finding his way out of the whole situation seemed like a mirage to him at that moment. THEY CAN'T SEE HIM? OH MY GOD! THEY REALLY CAN'T SEE HIM?Alves' eyes held that much ray to the pupils again. He couldn't believe his eyes and the reality which had just dawned on him. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SEE THE RI? THAT IS JUST TOO...Alves decided not to prolong the thought. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING QUICKLY BEFORE THINGS GO OUT OF HAND. But at that moment, he wasn't sure of what to do either. He needed to talk to the Ri, but he didn't know h
"Are my eyes giving the right judgement?"Madam Casper started, when she came to a halt at the front of Alves. Both the bouncer and the gate man had moved to the side. None of the two could keep their previous momentum. Alves was not really surprised, he wasn't impressed an inch by her. He knew how intimidating Madam Casper could present herself to those surrounding her. He had been a victim of such too, once upon a time. He kept a long stare on the woman instead of saying a word. Not that he had no idea of what to say, but he looked to be biding his time. "Alves, is that really you?"She asked the question much properly now. Alves was not going to answer any of her questions. "Did you really walk into my premises without my permission. Did you really walk into a lion's den?"Alves was a little glad that he didn't utter a word ever since the woman started with the argument. If he had interrupted her, he might not have known where she was headed with the discourse. But right at thi
"He must be bluffing. That's it. He must be bluffing."Madam Casper seemed unrest as she paced one corner of the large living room to the other. She couldn't help herself to stay in one spot. There was obviously a lot going on with her, but she didn't want to wait it out. At a point, she halted by one of the couches. Her gaze was lifted towards a painting in the wall. Her scurrying eyes travelled across the content of the painting. At a point, it seemed like she was invested in the art instead of what she had said earlier. "He had been away since forever. But he returns to me to say that? Could that really be a bluff? Or is he up to something?"She didn't know what to believer exactly. But she was making an effort to make a meaning of what exactly she ought to do. "The previous time, he was successful in digging out the stories I never thought he knew about."She took a pause. "And even at that period, he didn't let me know before he did it. He only came here to claim the responsi
"The Prime Minister will be with you shortly."A young man walked towards the open Pavilion, which was in the middle of a garden. He bowed softly to Alves. Alves stared at the fellow for a while. He didn't add any word. Instead, he watched as the fellow walked away till he couldn't see him anymore. Alves had a couple of things to be worried about. But the majority of them came down to surprises. When he had arrived at the space of the Prime Minister, he had been treated royally, as though the Prime Minister had been waiting for his arrival. "What's with this strange reception? Or is there something that I am missing?"Alves couldn't help but think out loudly. He had a couple of reasons to worry about this. He had come to meet the P.M. for a reason, which was other than having a nice and good talk. He had come for something more urgent and quickening. Being greeted with things like these didn't quite sit well with him. Also, judging by the things which he had heard from Akulia ba
"What are you talking about?"Alves' eyes were alert. It was as though the knowledge he sought was at the mercy of his sight. He shut his eyes for a while. During that process, he heard an activity at his front. When next his eyes flipped open like the pages of a book, the Prime Minister was already on his feet, too. "I don't know how to explain this to you further, but I'm sure that you do understand and would be able to make a perfect sense of it. You are smart, His Eminence."Alves didn't know whether or not to be offended by what the fellow had just said. To him, it seemed like the P.M. was beating around the bush and trying to avoid the major question. "Please have your seat, His Eminence. I owe you every of the explanations. And I don't feel comfortable having you stand."The Prime Minister's voice was a little calm and soothing. It was obvious that he just wanted to please Alves. Alves had conflicting thoughts already. He wanted to remain standing, but it didn't seem like he
Alves couldn't remain standing where he was. There was no use for it. He couldn't find any other reason to keep standing there. He walked away, out of the pavilion, towards the exit, which was up ahead. "His Eminence."The Prime Minister was on his feet already. He started to walk-run to catch up with Alves. Not for once did Alves care about who was behind him. He did know that if the Prime Minister kept following him in such a fashion, he would attract some attention, which to some extent is unnecessary yet relative. But at this point in time, he didn't care about any other thing. The only thing that kept him occupied was the thought,THE OLD MAN IS LEAVING FOR THE KINGDOM? WHY DIDN'T HE TELL ME ABOUT IT? WHY DIDN'T HE?Alves was on the verge of getting really pissed off, yet he seemed to be making all the effort not to appear that way. Else, he would create such an unnecessary atmosphere for himself. Walking into the opening of the exit, he took the left turn. There were a lot o
There was a prolonged silence as the power bike revved through the express road. Even if they had wished to exchange words or trade a conversation, it would have been quite difficult to attain because of the rage of the wind blowing past as the accelerated bike zoomed through the odds. They would have to lose so many details of the information meant to be digested. On the other hand, Alves didn't really have much to worry about. All he had occupying his mind was getting to the Huthi Farmland as soon as possible. At that point in time, a certain idea dropped in his mind. And it kinda pulled a string in his head to think that he didn't end up doing that;The idea of zooming through the space to the Huthi Farmland like he did in the kingdom. But even though he could achieve such ability, he wouldn't have been able to do that while the Prime Minister was watching. Or say, perhaps the Prime Minister wouldn't be surprised since he was also one of the people from the parallel world. He re
The lad would look back every now and then. He was leading the way into the open garden. Yet he looked like he didn't believe what was happening. As though he needed to be woken up or something close to that. Alves was right behind him, taking gentle steps. The lad obviously couldn't believe that Alves really meant what he had said in the Huthi Farmland. The eyes of the lad strayed from Alves to the power bike, which was by a big tree, which was at the opening of the renowned garden. Then his attention fell back on Alves. Then suddenly, as though he couldn't keep quiet anymore, as though he couldn't take it anymore. The lad stopped walking. He waited for Alves to catch up with him. Alves wasn't surprised. He didn't stop too until he got to the lad. "His Eminence. I was stupid to raise my voice at you and act so illogically. But you don't have to do this. I am not worthy of your service. How dare I order you around or make you do something for me? Please, I don't want to disrespec
