I don't belong here (pt.1)
Day by day the weather was turning colder. I loved sitting in my warm room alone and reading novels or spending time with my tablet. My parents preferred sitting in the living room, near the fire place and chat with some invited guests. They invited some or the other person every day. That's alright but I didn't like how my grandparents forced me to meet them. And the dinner time was even worse as all kinds of conversations on all kinds of topics took place. I didn't like it at all. Winter vacation was going on, Christmas knocked at the door. I didn't like too many people, but yeah, I always remain excited for the big Christmas party held at our place every year. Our house is always well decorated in the Christmas party, and we enjoy a lot. Karaokes are arranged and a sumptuous dinner makes the party even more fun. My life was going as usual, until, one day I was sitting in my warm room, with the heater on. It was very peaceful. I listened to relaxing music in my tablet and was reading a wonderful novel. The novel was a very old novel written by a wonderful writer Cecelia Aker . Suddenly my mom entered the room. "What are you doing? " She asked "I am feeling bored, let me join you ". She sat in the armchair beside my bed. "Which song are you listening to?" She asked curiously. "This is an old classical song by the famous singer Rose Garfield. " I replied. " Today didn't you invite any of the guests? " I asked disgusted but hopefully. " yeah, today I invited Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and their child." After hearing this I was so irritated that I decided to go out. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were the most irritating guests of all time. And their 16 year old girl, was even worse. She always messed up my table and spoiled my homework, and whenever I said her anything, she said that I had no right to tell her anything as I was 2 year younger than her.
After that I didn't say a word and went out. I decided to go to any of my friends house . As I was walking, I saw an old man calling me. I went to him. He welcowelcomed me with a warm smile. "How can I help you? " I asked earnestly. " Can you help me with my new invention? " requested the man
"Invention? "
"please! You are the only one who is here.The roads are empty from the morning. Pedestrians are missing due to this immensely cold snowy weather. "
"Alright, what can I do for you and what kind of invent---?"
"Just step inside this box and close your eyes "
" But what kind of invention? "
" Don't worry, just do."
I stepped inside that box which was looking like a telephone box. As I close my eyes I felt that the door behind me was being closed. I felt that the man was pulling some levers and then something happened. I got a strange sensation, as if I was in a lift. suddenly everything seemed to stop. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was in a strange park. I didn't know where to go. Everyone and everything around me looked extremely strange. I started walking until I saw something that looked like a music studio. I slowly went in and heard a familiar music. it sounded very familiar. The music was not clear and no lyrics could be heard. Suddenly a kind looking lady arrived and I asked her " Is any recording going on here? "
"Yeah " She replied " An album is being recorded by Rose Garfield "
Then I realized I was in a time machine and I was traveled to the past ...
