“Its dinner time…” She said.
“You ask too many questions, now just come.”
While walking back towards PTI (Path to In slide) she told
me how all the 110 people help each other in preparing dinner and then its
feast time as everybody starts dinner at the same time and on a common table. She
said she will be not able to help others today as she will be busy introducing
me to each of the members there. Since each one had some specialty in the
group, she told me to try and remember some of them as it would help me in
living a better and comfortable life here.
The feeling I was getting was one like that of an overnight
celebrity who has been invited to a party and needs to be introduced to the A-listers
present there, each one an expert in his/her respective field and I was
expected to be just like them and mingle in their company.
We reached the place where the latch was there. She opened
the door and we both slid down and straight in front of the gate which I had
described as Hell’s Gate once. She opened it and we turned left walking towards
the direction of the PTO. Then one right, and another one and I was standing in
front of wooden structure which she told was her room and the one on the right,
which looked newly built was mine. It was actually bamboo sticks tied together
to make a structure which Nasaians called their home. When I looked around, I
found there was a row of such rooms and I was standing in a lane with 2 rows
opposite each other but about 10 feet apart.
Angel started off, “You see that room just opposite of mine?
There Aunt Fenu lives. I am talking about the lady you met outside Earthlings
Information Center.”
I responded quickly “Oh, Big Momma? Haha.”
“Who is ‘Big Momma’ and what is there to laugh in it?” She
asked, looking scornfully at me.
I better not break her heart again, had already made her cry
once.
“Well we call the head of family as Big Momma, and the same
I thought about her.” I tried to cover up.
“So you need not laugh on her!” She said.
“Oh, actually I mistook her for you so just that thought
made me laugh. That’s all Angel, don’t be suspicious
about me please.” I said with raised eyebrows.
“No no, just asking. Anyways, the second room in the lane
behind us is of Sir Lemo, the one who met you inside the Earthlings Information
Center. He is the head of our group.” She said.
All seemed quite interesting. Few people passed by us in the
lane, some entering their rooms, some leaving, some just trying to catch a
glimpse of me. Some passed a smile at me, some giggled, some even shook hands
and some kids just touched me to see if I am real! All in all, everyone had a
smile on their face, no one seemed afraid.
The courteous nature of the habitants of this planet had
helped me feel a lot more comfortable. For me it was just like being introduced
to a new city probably in some far away place in Europe. Europe I would say because
of its beauty and far away place because it was actually far far away from the hustle
and bustle of the big cities about which we read and see in magazines, newspapers
and online.
It was peaceful here. I thought Nasaians should have been
the peace ambassador on Earth.

Angel asked me to enter my room. I took one step ahead and
then just stopped. I noticed a very unusual thing which I don’t know how I
missed earlier. On looking around, all rooms were same. There was the doorway
but no door; there was a window but no window pane.
“Where is the door Angel?” I asked her surprised.
“Door? Why do you need it?” She asked even more surprised.
Why did not have any door? Do they know there is a thing called "PRIVACY"? Wait for the next update...
