Something in You Calls Me (Complete)

Chap_32. A Picture

The taxi got stopped in front of a Mansion. Being confused, Maya asked the woman softly, "Auntie, do you live here?"

The woman weakly tilted her head to the right side. There stood a Mansion.
Seeing the Mansion, she thought in her mind..

Did I even enter in this Mansion before?

Her mind replied her immediately.

No. You didn't.

But nonetheless, she nodded and turned to Maya. Maya helped her getting out of the taxi and paid the driver.

As the woman was having troubles to walk, Maya supported her and walked towards the entrance while she kept looking all around.

Pressing the calling bell, she waited for someone to open the door. There was not any response from inside for a few minutes.

Maya again faced that woman, "Auntie, with whom do you live?"

She was thinking about what to answer when the door pulled open revealing a young man of late twenties.

Seeing that woman like that with a stranger, he panicked, "Mom, what happened to you?" as he stepped forward and got hold of that woman.

The woman spoke up in a weak tone, "I suddenly fell sick, son. And this sweet girl helped me."

As the young man got hold of his mother, Maya let go of her and took a step back.

The young man turned to Maya, "Thank you, sister. Please come in." and took his mother inside without giving any chance for Maya to say otherwise.

Hesitantly Maya stepped inside. Another young man was sitting in the living room who spoke up seeing them, "Aunt, what happened?"

"Nothing, son. Don't worry. I will be fine if I take some rest." she looked back at Maya, "Dear, please just don't leave like this. Stay for a while."

Just after the first young man took the woman inside a room, the woman asked him with a smiling face, "How was my performance, dear?"

Shaking his head, he spoke up, "Awesome, Mom. You made it so far. I am really proud of you. Now you take some rest. You need it and.." he paused for a second, his face turned all serious, "And I need to be out there."

The woman nodded and he walked out of the room immediately meanwhile the second young man approached Maya, "Please, take a seat."

Before Maya could refuse him, a middle aged man got out of another room, "How are..who are you?"

He changed his word before Maya could doubt something. The young man got answering him immediately trying to divert Maya's mind. It would be a trouble for them if she got to know about them now.

"Abbu, Aunt fell sick on her way here and she helped her to get back home."

Maya stared at their faces for some moments.

First young man appeared there right then and asked Maya to take a seat again.

Maya was hesitant about what to do but sat on a sofa. It was already late in the afternoon.

Should I call Nayeem?

She thought for a moment.

Her thought got broken when she heard someone uttering, "Dear, take some."

She could feel everyone was looking at her. She could feel something strange in their behaviour.

She took a sandwich from the saucer and thanked him. She got wandering her eyes all around the living room until a picture caught her attention.
