"Surprise! " professed Emma. "You guys weren't expecting to see me. Were you? " she asked them. Gideon was still transfixed to the spot and so was Judy. They were speechless. Emma smiled and gradually stood up. Gideon couldn't believe the sight before him. Was he really seeing Emma or is his mind playing games with him? Emma smiled the moment she stood up and Gideon knew she was real. His whole body felt as if it was soaked in ice and he filled chills down his spine. He couldn't bring himself to speak neither could he move a brow. He was shocked to the bone marrow. Judy on the other side of Gideon was as shocked as he was. Unlike Gideon who stood firm like a rock, Judy's eyes rolled all over Emma and she felt like running out of the room but her feet were stuck. Emma who was already standing up was enjoying the spectacle before her and she was gloating in her mind over thier shocking reaction. She smirked inwardly and decided to walk up to them. Emma started walking towards the

She remembered the shocking priceless reaction in their faces the moment had she turned around to face them in the auditorium.

Gideon sprawled on his large couch in the living room. Beside him was a bottle of Vodka. He had already consumed half of its content. Gideon's eyes were sore and weary. He hardly shut his eyes throughout last night. He had been thinking about Emma ever since thier encounter at the auditorium. After Gideon and Judy left the auditorium last night, he stepped into the car and didn't utter a word to Judy nor the driver and Judy on the other hand said nothing to him. After dropping Judy in her home, Gideon went to into his mansion and the first thing he did was dismiss Frankie. "Take two weeks off. " he had instructed Frankie who didn't really know why but left reluctantly. Gideon went to his room that night and fell on his bed. He didn't take a bath since last night and was still wearing the trousers he wore to the meeting that night. He only took off his neck tie and jacket then flung it in frustration.

" he told her in a calm voice. "Anger is sometimes inevitable. You don't want to let it rule you. Do you? " he asked her placing his hands on the table. Judy shook her head hinting no. "Good.

Gideon stepped into car, placed his both palms on his face and took them out after few minutes. "Take me home. " said a broken Gideon to his driver. "Yes sir. " replied the driver and he sped off.

"Take me to the children cemetery. " Emma told the driver who nodded and wondered why she needed to go there at such an hour of the day. It was few minutes past 2pm. As Emma sat in the car, she fought so hard to prevent the tears in her eyes from running down her cheeks but her effort was futile. The tears flowed ceaselessly and her driver noticed it from the mirror. He wanted to ask her whether she was okay but he felt it was better to let her be. She was different from the cheerful woman he drove around daily. She was now looking sorrowful and defeated. "We are here ma'am. " announced Francis. "Give me a moment. " requested Emma and he stepped out of the car. Emma laid her back on the car seat and cried profusely. She then dried her eyes with some sheets stuffed in her back and finally stepped out of the car. She headed into the cemetery and was shocked at the spectacle before her.
