Fest 7
Sashi was looking at her weird dress. She might have scolded the maker or whoever designed it.
The dress was simply shame on the name of dresses. There was small mark on the shoulder with the printed, 'Culture Hall'
She rolled her eyes in her head. To think the culture hall has such uncultured taste for the dresses. She wondered why the theme was set for the tea clothing. The dresses were given according to the halls representations.
Sashi could not agree withe the designer nonetheless she was already inside the fest. It was her task to capture the suspect and kill. Her hair was no more in the ponytail instead they looked devastated as if the girl combed earlier in the ages. It had been several years that she washed them. It was actually the first thing that she noticed right after entering in the fest.
She felt her head was burdened with the air, once her hand touched her hair she wanted to scream. The least horrible dream that she could ever dream. She loved her hair and use lot of hair care products. This live portal made her look like the witch that carried broom in the most animated cartoons.
She was not happy at all. Then came her bold dress. It resembled to the dresses of ancient times. The dress of animal skin. The word 'made' did not fit well because it was not sewed in the first place.
It was just folded around. Her evaluation about her appearance was enough to let her walk towards the culture hall tables. The sight in front of her was expected.
The culture Hall was the biggest hall of the museum so more than thirty staff members were hired to serve the hall. There were total two suspects however Sashi could see that the opponent team member reached at the first table.
She walked toward second table. There were five men and two women sitting around. Total five tables were served for the staff to enjoy the tea. All of them had the similar animal skin folded around their bodies.
Women were wearing some stones around the neck. Men had some strips on the biceps showing the built up muscles. Tea and the snacks were served and they were enjoying as normal as they could.
Sashi sat on the empty chair. The staff of the culture hall has so much to talk about. They took care antique. They also had the taste for culture related exibitions. In fact they liked to add their personal interest for the presentation of the ancient culture during exibition.
Their exibition always pulled more visitors. The normal chit chat was going on when Sashi joined. The man with the nose pin spoke, "I am preparing for the new exibition after the museum get back to normal." He was enthusiastic.
The girl with shy smile asked, "Do you have some fresh idea for the exibition. It should be grand reopening of the culture hall. We are anticipating the changes soon to be confirmed. The owner has promising nature for the museum." She picked the snacks and chewed.
The man nodded, " I have indeed planned few fresh themes for the exibitions, I am sure it would capture the attention of the visitor immediately." he replied.
Sashi noticed all of them. They were pretty positive for the wellness of the museum. She spoke, " I would be waiting for the exibition. It has long been that we worked actively."
They nodded munching on the snacks. Sashi kept noting down their actions but nothing made her suspicious. After some time she decided to walk toward third table and see if the suspect was there.
There were nine staff members around the third table strangely all of them silent. None of them took tea or munched on the snacks.
They were playing cards. It seemed playing cards was important than the tea. Sashi didn't disturb them instead she let them end it.
They were invested to win. The woman beside her threw the card on table claiming that she won. Others stopped their cards.
They agreed earlier that only one could win. Three teams were playing yet this woman won first in the first team so the game ended in their eyes.
Sashi thought they might drink the tea however they started dancing to celebrate the reopening of the museum. For them it was most important that the museum would resume normal days soon.
Sashi was speechless how she could capture suspected staff member from the culture hall if this went on.
After some time she walked toward fourth table. There were nine staff members again. They were sipping on the tea and munching on the snacks. As one of the female staff spoke, they got attentive toward her, "I might leave this job." She was not happy nor sad.
Her flat tone yet disappointed facial expressions did not point that she has some grudge against museum instead it was natural to leave the job. Sashi finally eased up. At least someone spoke about it.
"Why would you leave when the museum is reopening?" A male member asked worried. He liked her stay in the culture hall. His intentions were to befriend the girl soon.
"My pay is not enough to meet my expenses." She shrugged her shoulders.
As she spoke about the insufficient pay, all of them got shocked. This museum was paying handsome payment for their services yet she was saying her expenses were higher.
They could not believe this excuse. Sashi noticed from the expressions of others that it was not valid excuse for leaving job. "I am satisfied with the payments although the incentives are not much in the recent times. But I know the museum was not in the proper business. So I would wait." Another female spoke before the first woman could tell suitable reason.
The first woman scolded the second woman, "You are living with your husband so your expenses are half while I live alone.." She was thinking how to create solid excuse when the second woman made it easy for her.
