THE HIDDEN SECRETS[✔]

Chapter 9

I stormed inside the cabin to meet the person who has the capacity to give the answer to my first question despite the fact that he doesn't know a bit detail of the book or Heil.

"Rakesh!!" I slammed the book on his table which created an unpleasant sound that made him jerk away from a little, but when his eyes met mine he relaxed visibly and leaned on the chair. He placed his clasped hand on the table just below where I slammed the book.

"Yes, beautiful." Sure he has the nerve to flirt with me where I'm burning inside like a volcano.

"Where did you find the book?" I asked pointing the book on his table.

He looked at me blankly then his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "Just tell me where did you find?" I asked once again.

"Huh?" He started to think but it seems he doesn't remember a thing. "Are you going to tell me or not?" I brought my hands towards his throat pretending like I'm going to kill him by squeezing his throat but before my hand could touch his pretty throat he shouted dramatically as I placed a knife in his throat and forced him to spill the truth.

"I found the book near the bungalow which is 2km away from this center and don't think I'm coming with you because I'm not coming!!!" He raised his hand as a surrender while I'm throwing him a murderous glare.

Who the heck going to invite him anyway. I will go by myself.

"Stop dreaming, you little brat. Anyway thanks for the information. I'm leaving." I took the book in my hand before made my way towards the bungalow.

One hour later, I reached the bungalow which exactly looked like a ghost house in the scary movies. 'Do we really need to go inside?' my inner mind questioned.

I'm about to consider her questions but no, I won't back away. Who knows I may find the missing 30 pages or even find another book if I have luck.

Letting out a loud sigh, I stepped inside the building with shaken hands. My urge to find the book may overcome my fear but I can't betray my soul.

Goosebumps taken over all my body when I heard the sound of my own breath, it's like someone is here with me and I'm hearing their breath but deep down I know I'm alone.

As I'm wandering inside the huge hall which would fit more than a hundred people, my eyes landed on the staircase that leads the upper portion.

I have a second thought to run away but my first thought pushed me to death and here I'm standing in the middle of the wooden stairs unable to move back or forth.

Rakesh has the gut to come alone, then why don't I? I will do this. I forwarded my step one by one until I reached the small room where I could see almost ten racks loaded with a bunch of books.

Yes!! I succeed!!! Happiness overwhelmed my body.

I hurried my way towards the rack and took the book one by one but it all gone vain because I didn't find the book I was looking for. Though disappointment raced through my heart my willpower didn't give up, I entered into another room expecting to find another bunch of books but the room was empty as hell.

I used my phone's light to get a clear vision of this room and a beautiful portrait welcomed my sore eyes. It was the image of a cute child with black eyes, pale skin as mine. He is smiling ear to ear and the artist must have a talent of Angel otherwise he couldn't have painted this.

"You are beautiful," I whispered looking at the smiling beauty. The baby must have grown a lot, no doubt he would be a handsome man.

I wanted to take this portrait with me but my mind warned me that I'm invading someone's privacy and the portrait looks so neat and clean as it's someone's treasury and they are obsessed with this portrait as it is their last solid memory of their childhood.
