Eyes wide, I looked out the window at my surroundings as the huge ironed gates opened with multiple men on either side of it, protecting it like a fortress. Only when the car rolled down the long driveway I agreed that it was indeed nothing less than a fort. Wide expanse of lush, green gardens sprawled as far as I could see, filled with bushes cut into geometrical pattern, some were shaped as peacocks even, and trees lined the periphery like obedient soldiers guarding the fort. And as if that wasn’t enough the lighting was more than one used on Christmas. It was enchanting with paper lamps hanging from the trees, accounting for the moonless night.
This place was bigger than Raphael’s and even though it was decorated so magically, it felt somehow cold.……
