Welcome,

It was written on the board in front of the huge mansion. They stepped in.

A man of high build, about 40 of age received them. Axoser introduced every one. He talked to Sominal about what matter they wanted to talk about. He seemed to be a very successful business man. "Hi, I am Martin Robbinfield"

"We need something from your mother Miss Martha." Sominal asked directly she assumed that Mrs. Martha must be his mother as she was an old lady according to Liam.

"She was my aunt."

They were walking to the mansion; it was a 5 minutes' walk from the door to the mansion itself. They entered in to the hall room. Next room was drawing room as the sofas were placed there, the house was well furnished, It has a pale yellow and dark brown exotic theme from inside. That must cost billions Axoser thought.

"My Aunt was a servant at the castle. I was her favorite kid. She used to talk to me about church and how world is changing in to evil. She never came home after the day she gave me a box. She told me that one day Martin someone will ask you about Axoser. So give them this box. She strictly said me not to open it unless I want troubles in my life. She said to me this box contain a story that will change my life if I open it. She also said me, it is a promise that she could not keep as she has to go somewhere where she is needed most."

He waited as the waiter arranged the refreshment in front of them. he made tea for them.

He was a very nice host. He was mainly talking to everyone.

"Axoser, this is the promise now I complete. When Sominal called me, there was something about the content she disclosed. She said there was a promise that I have to fulfill a duty that was given to me, by Ms, Martha. Though she said those words without realizing that she actually reminded my of this box." He handed over an old wooded jewelry box. There was no lock on it. He opened the box's lid. Martin glanced to see what was inside. Even Martin never opened this box he even forget about the box he hid in attic of his house. The house renovated too but now one opened this box. It remained safe there for decades untouched.

"Subhanallah." Sominal said.

"May be your mother recited Ayat-ul-kursi so that the box will remain safe."

"What is Ayat-ul-kursi?' Axoser asked her.

"Ayah from surah-e-baqarah in the Quran. They are recited for protection."

"May be the protection, Liam was talking about is Ayat-ul-kursi your mother recited for you when you were being born in the hospital." She told Axoser, his blue eyes were filled with tears but he kept them inside.

Sominal asked leave from Martin as she saw Axoser was not in state of mind. She thanked him. Martin seemed relieved when she said good bye. It seems to her that Marin doesn't want to know what was in the box.

He was happy in his life, and he was from those people who don't like changes in their lives. Therefore they left, with an asset in the hands of Axoser. He was already feeling the emotions that were written in the diary.
