TIME TRAVELLER


Ezra and Lizzy are a newly married couple. They just bought a new house in a peaceful colony and moved into it. The house was not a big one, but was very beautiful. The couple were very excited in starting their new life. They got a descent job in a good company and soon they started planning for their future.


Couple of months later, while she was on a leave, Lizzy was cleaning the house when she found something under their sofa. It looked like an electronic gadget. Unsure of what it may be, she kept it in a drawer of her wardrobe to show it to her husband. In the evening, her husband came back with a news that he has been promoted as a manager and he has his own car now. He took his wife for a drive and together they had a dinner in an expensive restaurant. There he told his wife that he was ready to start planning for his family. Both were happy and had a good time. But Lizzy completely forgot about the device she had found.


Days went by and soon Lizzy had a good news for her husband. Ezra was on top of the sky when he heard it. The couple eagerly awaited another member in their family. Both of them decided that if they were blessed with a boy, they will name him Edward and if a girl is born, they’ll name her Sarah. Everything was going as planned.


One morning, Lizzy got a letter from her aunt Griselda who lived in a nearby village. She offered to come home to look after Lizzy until the delivery. Ezra thought it was a good idea, but Lizzy was sceptical as her aunt never liked her since childhood. So, Ezra wrote to his elder sister, Miriam, who lived in the same city to help him look after Lizzy and she came as soon as she got her brother’s letter.


Miriam stayed at home and cared for Lizzy while Ezra would go to work. Lizzy was at bed rest and a kind old lady in the neighbourhood would often come to check on her health. One day while Miriam was arranging the clothes in the cupboard, Lizzy remembered the device she had found under the sofa. She asked Miriam to open the drawer and get it. Miriam was looking at the device all over as if it was a strange object and Lizzy told her how she found it lying under the sofa an year ago while she was cleaning the house. It was strange that she had forgot to mention about it to her husband. Miriam was still wondering what it could be when suddenly Lizzy called out to Miriam. Miriam checked on her and immediately rushed to the neighbouring house where the old lady lived. The lady came to the house and soon a beautiful baby girl was born.


Ezra came home and was so happy to find both his daughter and wife healthy. He thanked god for so many blessings he received. Miriam took the baby and started cuddling it, praising her beautiful face which resembled Lizzy’s.


Ezra distributed sweets around the colony and donated to the poor generously. Miriam wished both of them and returned to her house. The couple thanked her heartily.

Days went by and one morning, both Lizzy and Ezra woke up with strange and continuous beeps in their bedroom. Ezra searched everywhere but could not find the source. Lizzy was still bed ridden. Ezra opened the bag of clothes from under the bed and the Beep sound increased. He took off some of the clothes from it and then pulled out the strange device which was making the sound. Lizzy told him the story of how she got the device at her home and she had forgot to tell him about it. Ezra was surprised to see...
