The roadside house 🏠
This is the story when I was in 6th class.

At that time I used to go to school with dad, sometimes mom and sometimes with my friend. Because it's the story of 13 years ago, on that time road's were not that much developed and so for that reason we used to go to school by crossing a forest.

One day, I was on the way to school, but on that day, no one was with me. so I took my steps towards school.
On the road, suddenly I felt that the it is not the road, through the road we used to go. So I changed my path, and went from the other side. Though the road is small but because I almost lost the previous road so I choose to go from that path.

By the time, I started walking on that side, suddenly it's started raining and to protect myself from rain, I went to take shelter under a house, which was near road. I saw that house is so beautiful. I rang the bell and waited for someone to respond from the house. Then I heard someone is coming towards the door and then someone opened the door and asked about me. I told them my story. The man told me to go inside their home and to wait until the rain stopped. I took rest for sometime on that house.

During that time, I talked with the old woman of that house. May be she was his old mother. We talked so much and took sips of tea with them and also have played with a little girl for sometime. They were so happy when they saw their child happy.
After sometime the rain stopped and I started to go to school again.

And from that day whenever I come alone to school I used to go from that road, played with the kid and went to school.
One day, I told my dad about that road and house and that kid with whom I used to play on those days. At first he was shocked, but later he himself found himself that and told me not to go from that road again.
He told, the road is not like that which I saw. There was no house nor any human being live in that house.
But, it's also true that once upon a time, that house used to be there. They died 20 years ago in an accident.
I got so scared and my spirit shivered after listening the story. From that day, I never went to school alone and if nobody goes with me I used to skipped school for that day.
