99 I don't have anyone in my life

Charlie nodded and went back to his seat. When he saw Dolly was in trouble, he couldn't control himself. He forgot about the surrounding and reached near her. But now, he was feeling uneasy for what he had done. Dolly was also in the same condition as him. But luckily, nobody utters a word about them.

"Dolly, you and Zinu got ready to go for a spa. Charlie, let's go to the study room. After that, you have to accompany Zinu and Dolly to the Spa. Grandma, please come. I have to discuss something with you."

"Ok." Charlie and Mrs Smith followed John.

In the study room, they sat Comfortably.

"Now tell me what the investigators got? " John asked Charlie.

"Boss, they have progressed a lot. " Charlie replied.

"Oh really! That's good. Now tell us, what information they could gather. " Mrs Smith asked.

"Boss, Lucas's father Gerry Smith, your great grandfather Hilton Smith and Keyon Jones were classmates. They formed a diamond mining group. They were famous diamond miners. Gerry Smith and Hilton Smith were cousins as well as childhood friends. They became more famous after discovering a rare red diamond mine. They stared to got invitation to different countries to search for mines."Charlie added."After some years Gerry lost interest in the diamond mining, so he left the group. Hilton and Keyon too did not want to stay in the group without Gerry.

Although the were not in the same group, Hilton and   Keyon did not leave the mining work. Hilton liked his work very much. It was his passion. As per our investigation, we come to know that, during one of his journey to different places, he discovered something rare. Only Keyon and Gerry knew about that because they were searching for the thing for a long time.

After the discovery, he started to get some threat from different sources. So, Hilton hides along with his wife and his son Oliver Smith. Oliver Smith was only six years old at that time. But, one day someone killed his wife and shot Hilton on the leg.

He somehow escaped with little Oliver and met Gerry Smith. Gery Smith was his only reliable friend and family. He handed Oliver to him along with a map of the place of his discovery. He requested Gerry to send Oliver to an orphanage so that no one could identify him. When Hilton was leaving the country, he shot dead by some unknown person.

Gerry kept the map safely and handed over it to Oliver, after his marriage. Lucas was of the same age as Oliver. They were too friends. He heard the conversation between Oliver and his father. From that time Lucas was behind the map."

Both John and Mrs.Smith were silent. They both lost in their thoughts.

"What about Keyon Jones and Mr Herry?"John broke the silence and asked.

" Keyon Jones was not a simple man. He was the culprit behind the death of Hilton and his wife. But he vanished after Hilton's death.Mr.Herry was a friend of Gerry. He was a very rich merchant of diamonds. Lucas himself tried to tie up with his business in exchange of that mysterious map."

"But where is the map?" Mrs Smith asked.

"The map was with Mr Oliver. Lucas tried to get the map from him, but could not. That means he had kept the map safely somewhere. Maybe he left some hints somewhere, as he could not convey the message directly to you due to his sudden death. "Charlie replied.

" But where it can be? I have kept all his things safely. When I came to know that Oliver, as well as Victor, had lost their lives due to a map, I searched it in his things. But I got nothing. "

"Grandma, would you like to show the things of grandpa to me? Maybe something had missed from your eyes. If we recheck all the things, maybe we get some clue." John said.

"Sure, I will show you the room, where your grandpa's things were kept. You check them yourself. "

"We will check it later. It would take time to check the things. Now you should take some rest. The party will start at five in the evening." John told Mrs Smith.

"Ok. Then I am going to my room. What about Dolly and Zinu? "

"You don't worry grandma. I have arranged for everything. "

"Ok." Mrs Smith left.

"Charlie, you accompany Zinu and Dolly to the Spa after that meet me in the study room again. "

"Ok," Charlie replied and they both reached the living room.

Both Zinu and Dolly were waiting for John. John reached there followed by Charlie.

"Are you ready to go? "John asked.

" Yes. We are. Are you going with us?" Zinu asked John.

"No. I wanted to go with you too, but I have an important meeting to attend. Now go. Meet you in the afternoon." John replied.

"Ok," Zinu said and left the manor along with Dolly and Charlie.

In front of the spa, Charlie stopped the car and opened the car door for them. Zinu and Dolly got down from the car.

"As per the boss's order, I have booked the whole spa for you two. You can do whatever you want. I am waiting for you here. You take your time." Charlie informed them. Zinu nodded and left the place. Dolly has already entered the spa. She didn't wait for Charlie's explanation. Zinu sighed and followed her.

Inside the spa, they both were enjoying their massage and other treatments. Both Zinu and Dolly was sleeping in two beds kept nearby.

"Dolly, can I ask you something? " Zinu asked.

"Zinu, from when do you need to get my permission to ask something? You can ask anything without any hesitation. "

"Do you have anybody in your life? I mean do you love anyone?"

Dolly's heart skipped a beat. Now what she would say? She cannot make Zinu fool.

"Why are you asking this suddenly? Is there any reason behind this question?"

"Yes. Mom and grandma, both were worried about you. You are not becoming young. They wanted to marry you as soon as possible. And I too think that it is a  perfect age for your marriage. So I want to know, if there is someone in your life or not, "

"No. I don't have anyone in my life. " Dolly replied.
