CHAPTER 18

Emma sat their crying.

Teflon: Oh baby it's your birthday don't cry. You will love the next surprise.

Mark's eyes were completely furious. Anger was peeping out of his eyes. The condition of Emma and Lexi made him indigant. Always the thought what the next box will hold made him suspicious.

On the other hand Emma was not able to stop herself from crying. She was feeling awfully bad on the pain that lexi must have gone through and the brutal death that she got. She felt that God was unkind towards her best friend. Just in a nick of time she remembered her last birthday when she was with her mother, sister and lexi in a pleasant restaurant in Rome.

Mark: Emma, get up and stop crying. This had to be the part of the difficult path we chose. This is just the start Emma are difficult are gonna increase and we need to fight against them we can't step back now.

Teflon: Oh Mark and Emma can't you both have your discussion afterwards with your mothers in heaven. Now go on otherwise you will be with your mother in next few moments.

Mark and Emma followed the instructions. They entered the room as per the instructions.

It seemed like the room wasn't open for days. It was a dark room with no lights. Soon a light fell from the top on the big box.

Mark held Emma's hand and went ahead to open the box.

Christopher: Dear son. It's Emma's birthday let her open the present or ....

Emma walked ahead to Mark and opened the box. Inside the bigger box their lied two smaller boxes.

Teflon: Now both of you take one of the boxes each and open it and as per my instructions open them. Mark take blue box and Emma take pink one

They followed their instructions.

Teflon: Now both together. 1...2...3.... go on.

They opened the box. And...

The box in Emma's hand fell down. Their head was covered in sweat beads, her hands were trembling,  her kegs were shivering, her body had lost her support.  It seemed like for a moment she had lost her control over her body. Even Mark was terrified , sweat beads came over his head too.

The box helded ring fingers of their moms. They were recognizable as they had their marriage rings on it.

Emma: Dad it's not mom's and hand ring ,right? Whose are they? Why have you sent it here?

Teflon: Emma, you know how much I used to love your mother right even Christopher used to love his wife that much. So on the day they died to our gambling game. We spent their last night peacefully with them and when the next day they died we just used knife and did cut their ring finger along with their ring which we gifted them. As they were diamond rings we couldn't afford to lose that ring. Since it's the last gift we can give it you we gave it.

Mark[furiously]: You know what we don't want your stupid gift. Our mothers are more precious than your pathetic gifts for us. I will make sure the day I kill you I will cut your body into so many small parts that even you won't be able to count them.

Christopher: Oh Mark, before you could do anything you won't be alive. As we promised their is another surprise waiting for you. Now go to your right then take a right slowly enter  the room
