GIFT BOX🎁 #4
CHAPTER 4
-------------------
Parthiv still couldn't make any sense of it. How did he get here in the first place. Who is this man and what does he want from him? In the message it was clear that he would return to his normal life if he completed the challenges….what is this cursed man going to gain from it. And how would he know the time....And also those words in the message,
"There is a HIGH CHANCE OF RETURNING TO YOUR NORMAL LIFE"

Does that mean, there is still a chance he could be killed, even if he completed all the tasks?

All he could do was think about the current situation and cry. There was no going back. If he tried to escape he would be killed.Without much choice he strengthend himself to move forward. Then he noticed another piece of black paper in the gift box. He took it and found that it was some kind of a riddle. It was obvious that he should deciper the riddle, which will lead him to his next clue.

It read,

"I AM A KEY MAESTRO,
EXCEPT THAT I NEVER OPEN LOCKS "

He was excited and thrilled while solving puzzles and riddles like these, but today was not the day. Today was something different. Today's decisions where a threat to his own life. His brain was not working enough to deciper this code. He needed time. So he folded the piece of paper and tucked it in his pant pocket. He got up from the bed and moved towards the wooden door to check how big this place was along with how many more rooms were there to explore….and HE NEEDED A WATCH OR CLOCK.

Just as the wooden door of the bedroom opened with a creek, he ended up standing in a room which looked like the main hall of this house.It had a TV in one corner( his left)….which Parthiv was sure it wouldn't work..cause it looked like it had been there for as long as he had been alive…it was covered with dust. Next to the TV was another door which also had a wooden door leading somewhere. But with a closer look Parthiv realised that the door was locked and that he needed a key open it. And there was no clock hanging in this room. On his right, there was a table with almost nothing except for an old piano which had a couple of keys missing and the dust had settled in over so much that he was not interested in checking whether it would work or not. Next to the table was a sofa and again nothing much to say. On his far right corner…there was another doorway without a door..so that was his next room to explore to find a answer to his first clue,

"I am a key maestro,except that I never open locks"

Now walking towards the next room on his right, he was almost sure about the answer of his riddle…the only problem was that, he was not sure he would find that object in a place like this.
