26 HUSH ( Part 03 )

Victor - " But where is the food? "

Leo - " Yes where is it. I am starving? "

Dhazam - " It must be on the way. "

Victor - " But nobody came here to ask about the food. "

Dhazam - " When you two were busy in your conversation then I was talking with my cook. "

Victor - " Oh! but I didn't see anyone here."

Dhazam - " You must have not noticed it."

Leo - " But I too have not seen anyone here, Dhazam. "

Dhazam - " Then you must also have not noticed my cook. "

Leo - " But my eyes were at you? "

Dhazam - " What? "

Leo - " I mean to say that my eyes were at the dining table cause I am hungry. "

Dhazam - " Oh I thought that you are keeping an eye on me, Leo. "

Leo - " No why will I keep an eye on you? "

Dhazam - " I just thought this, Leo. It's fine now. "

Victor - " Where is the food? I will collapse soon. "

Dhazam - " Don't know why my cook is taking so long. Usually, he is very hasty in his work. "

Leo - " Then we must go and check. "

Victor - " I can't go anywhere sorry I will sit here only. You two go and check. "

Dhazam - " No you both sit here. I will go and check. "

Leo - " But return fast Dhazam "

Dhazam - " Yes yes, Leo. You both be sitting here only, don't roam around this place."

Victor - " Yes you go and return fast with food. We will be waiting here for you. "

Dhazam - " Yes I go. "

[ Dhazam vanishes in the air ]

Leo - " He just vanished in the air. "

Victor - " So what's strange in this. He told us that he is a magician. Vanishing in the air must be a child's play for him. "

Leo - " Oh yes the one who can build this mansion in just a few minutes can do anything. He is a powerful magician. "

Victor - " Yes now we just have to wait here till he comes back with food. "

Leo - " No way we are leaving this place now."

Victor - " No chance Leo. I will not go anywhere before having my stomach filled with tasty food items. "

Leo - " Stop acting like a fool, Victor. We need to run away from this place and this is the best time to escape from this place. "

Victor - " I am not going anywhere from this place. You can go if you want, Leo. "

Leo - " Are you a complete idiot, Victor. You want to have food rather than escape from this place. "

Victor - " I also don't want to stay here but I can't help it. I am starving and Dhazam must be bringing something delicious to eat. "

Leo - " Then you stay here and eat I am going from this place. "

Victor - " Farewell my short-tempered friend Leo. Will surely miss you "

Leo - " You won't be able to leave this place without me I am again asking you to come with me, Victor. "

Victor - " I am not leaving this place without eating food, Leo. "

Leo - " Fine it was my final call for you. I am going you stay here and eat. "

Victor - " Goodbye Leo my friend. Have a safe journey. "

Leo - " Yes I will have a safe journey, Victor. You just sit here and eat. "

Leo ( to himself ) - " Victor is such a dumb that he wants to eat when he could escape. He is choosing food over his own life. Let him be here where he wants to be and I go."

[ Leo reaches the huge door which leads to the corridor ]

Victor - " Why are you just staring at it? Open it and go "

Leo - " Did I asked for your advice, Victor"

Leo ( to himself ) - " How am I going to open this huge door Victor will not help me and if he helps them also we will not make it. But I should give it a try ."

[ Leo puts his palm on the door ]

" Remove your hand from my face mortal, else I will burn you. "

Leo - " Where does this sound come from "

Victor - " This is the sound produced by this door, Leo. Remove your palm fast "

Leo - " This must be some cheap trick I am not afraid of it "

The door ( in heavy voice ) - " You mortal remove your hand else will get killed. "

Leo - " I don't care. I am not scared of a stupid door. "

[ Leo pushes the door forward but could hardly move it ]

Leo - " It didn't move, Victor gives me your hand. "

Victor - " Take my hands but will not be able to help you as I am hardly left with any strength in my body. "

Leo - " You go and sit, you never have any energy in your body. I am alone enough for this door. "

The door - " You won't be able to open me until my master allows me. "

Leo - " Means you are under Dhazam. "

The door - " Yes and you are his guest that is why I didn't cause you any harm. "

Leo - " Okay then, means you will not open."

The door - " No I will not open you also go and sit with your friend at the dining table. My master will arrive soon. "

Leo - " Is there any other way to go out from this place. "

The door - " No there is only one way to leave this room and the way is through me ."

Leo - " And the only way will remain close until its master arrives here. "

The door - " Yes now you go I am not supposed to talk with strangers. "

Leo - " I am your master's guest here. "

The door - " Then go and sit there I also go and do my duty. "

[ Leo comes back and sits beside Victor ]

Victor - " You were leaving this place, Leo. Now, what happened? "

Leo - " I am also not enjoying here but we are trapped here. "

Victor - " What? "

Leo - " Yes just look at the door. That door is alive and will not open until its master arrives ."

Victor - " But Dhazam will bring food with him. We can wait here, Leo. "

Leo - " But Dhazam has trapped us here in his mansion. We can't go anywhere without his permission and who knows maybe all the non-living things around us are living here? These pieces of furniture, door, walls and crockery are also living here. "

Victor - " But we can trust Dhazam, Leo. "

Leo - " Let's just wait and watch as we can't do anything else in this mansion. "

Victor - " Let's see what's coming next, Leo?"
