I See You

CHAPTER 11

I couldn't believe my eyes , at what happened next.The couple who occupied it , vacated it and within seconds the table was layed out for us.

Lazarillo sat on a chair and motioned me to sit on the opposite one. I was just stunned by what happened , that I almost stepped on my leg but , at last I managed to get to my destination .

" So , Mr Robel , you must be wondering . How did this happen ? " he said and looked at me with raised eyebrow " Actually the thing is ....." he sat comfortably on his chair , while stroking his thigh with his right hand " I own this place , so that's why , I get what I want around here " .

I nodded in admiration . But when I came out of my trans , I figured out ' How did he knew my name ?' .Now my mind was working in full speed , that only makes me angry . I had to get to the end of this game of suspense with the old guy , before I loose my temper totally.

I stood a little up from my chair to come closer to him as well as to show myself in power " I have had it with you , I just want you to spit whatever , you want to say to me " I said , in sheer anger which was visible all though my body .

" Ok John , you got me " he said while putting his hand up in defeat " I have a proposal for you and before you say anything regarding it . I want you to know that I am determined to give you as much money you ask for " .

I almost lost myself at his offer , but still I composed myself , as he has still not told me anything about it . " I am listening to you , but before you tell me about your proposal . I want to tell you that .....I want a hell lot of money " I said casually , so that he could know , I am not an easy man to persuade.

" Seriously , this is the last thing you have to be worried about " he said with a smile , which made me uncomfortable, but he continued " The work is that , there is a girl in a orphanage , I want you to take care of her . Treat her like your own daughter and I will on the other hand shower you with whatever you want " .

I thought for a second is this man joking .....I think the old age has really taken over him . But on the second thought , Is that all he wants ? . But I need to know more about it , as my evil instinct tells me this can't be it . He knew my name , so that means he choose me for this .....But why me ?

" Why have you choosen me for this ? ....anyone could have done it , with the offering you are giving " I said annoyingly.

He cleared his throat and straightened his coat and said " The thing is you are a family .....your wife Romana's younger sister Laura and her husband died in a accident and they left behind there five year old daughter Akira . I have been finding you for quite some time . So that she could get a real family " .

I tried recalling .....yes, Laura she was such a rebel , but a beautiful girl . Even though she married after us , but she was still young for her age . After she ran away one fine day , she never came back . We just got to know that she got married . But never got to know to whom , as Romana was least interested in her sister.

" I can do that , but who are you anyway ? " I asked .

" I am the head of that orphanage . So this is my job " he said casually . I felt ashamed , at my fooilsh question .

We then talked for hours , about the proposal that I had entered into . With a cup of coffee as promised , it serious was awesome .

Till the end of the conversation I was totally into it , on top of it I also had a great evil plan attached to it . We shook hands and as I was going back , the old man put his firm hand on my shoulder and said " I will be checking you , always " with a smirk and left before I could say anything.

Still I had a lot of unanswered questions......why was this old man still following me ?.
