When they were just about to leave Alan screamed, "Daddy" and ran towards Akshar. Akshar and Patrcia's dad Anthony were eating and chatting with some men and women. Diya instantly recgonized some of the faces. They were the ones she had seen them on the beach. Diya was a bit surprised and also a little jealous to see him make new friends in such a short time. Alan ran towards his had with his ice cream in his hand and Akshar seemed quiet happy about it. He looked up and saw Diya and the others at a distance and smiled and waved. In just a minute Alan was surrounded by at least a couple of young women from the table and were very much entertained by his presence. It was quiet obvious in his smile that Akshar was a proud father and indicated to Diya that he will keep an eye on Alan. As it was a bit hot outside and after a nice meal Diya was starting to feel a little sleepy but Patricia who was fond of Diya wouldn't let her go anywhere. So they all went back to the beach and choose a nice shady spot as Diya and her sister-in-law Anna relaxed on the beach while Gloria got onto the hammock hanging nearby and Patricia playing on the sand. It didn't take too long for Diya to fall asleep in spite of the noise around her. Anna didn't have the luxury as she often had to intervene the fights between the two girls. Diya was both aware and unaware of her surroundings. She had slowly immersed into a gentle slumber and felt peaceful and relaxed. On the other hand Akshar was fill with excitement and adrenaline rush with his new found mates and yet both were enjoying themselves in their own way blissfully unaware of anything but what they were doing.
Diya was gently awaken by a little tug over her shoulder and noticed that it was Alan who was comfortably settling in his mother's arms and was quiet evident that he was very sleepy. Diya turned around and noticed that Anna and the girls were not around. She pulled Alan over closer and he was fast asleep in minutes. She could very clearly hear the crowd cheering and seemed much louder than earlier. She could only get a glimpse of what was happening back there and could now see that this time it was all men who were playing out there. Most of them were much younger there Akshar but Akshar blended well with them with a well-maintained physique. She picked up the book next to her and continued to read, as she couldn't fall asleep anymore. Now she was half way through the book and lost count of chapters. The character whom she suspected to be the killer, she was quiet certain of it used the pretty women he picked up at the bar as a leverage to get to his goal and in the process couple of them turned up dead. But what didn't make any sense to her was why he was not interested in the model he met at the hotel bar where he was staying who seemed interested in him. She wondered just because she had a boyfriend he didn't pursue her didn't make sense as he was not portrayed like that by the author in the earlier chapters. Never less it was interesting enough for her to keep reading. When Alan woke up she realized that he needed a change of cloths and had soiled his diaper, which she had used as a backup as he was partially trained. Diya looked it the direction where he was playing earlier but he was nowhere to be seen and neither was the crowd. She gave out a big sigh and picked up her things and Alan and walked over to their room.
