A LIFE CHANGING LETTER...
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The letter carried brief instructions: 'Meet me at the corner of the street', it read. But who was it from? should I go there? Orrr.... should I just ignore it..?
Nothing to be understood.. Just a feeling of anxiousness. Who sent me the letter? How do I reply to it? After all I'm a teen of just 16years. I must not dare to do that. What may happen was all unknown. I decided to take a step forward, to show my courage. Not to be a fool nor be too smart.
All the feelings led me into a darker path of life. A path which was totally confusing and scary as well.
Not knowing what to do, I left my house went there. Nobody to be seen. Just some houses covered in spider webs.
I started trembling. A thought came to my mind , "Am I being stalked? "I don't understand. Did I take a wrong step? I wish I could ask for help but I had no one. My parents had died a few weeks back and I couldn't even get out of that shock and I get another hopeless letter. I'm puzzled up but have to deal with it. Now I start searching for the person who sent me the letter. Since I thought someone is stalking me ,so I open my Mobile's camera and keep it in my back pocket of the jeans ,after switching on video recording to see who it is.
waiting a while , I check my phone and there I find a lady in black saree. I can't see her face properly, BUT....
The saree she wore resembled the one I last gifted my mom. I was terrified. Numerous weird questions crossed my mind. Is my mom still alive? If she's alive then why the letter stating her death came to me weeks back? Is there something fishy going on?
Then a thought struck me that my mom always feared my dad's younger brother as he always wanted his property. My uncle had tried to kill my dad as well but these things didn't match. The lady followed me till my home, all covered up and weak.
I left the door open to check who it was, but then I heard no noise.
She didn't enter. I went out and towards a different path. She once again followed me. I understood that there was a problem in my house. she feared to enter it.
Suddenly a hand on my shoulder, ft like a very known one.
And... to my surprise it was my beloved mom who was never dead.
we talked and I came to know that my dad was murdered and their accident letter received by me was a fake one sent by my uncle so that I don't wait for them anymore.There was a trap as well laid at my house which was known only to my mom and thus she didn't follow me further into our house. we reported to the cops but nothing happened. we lived in the countryside for some years. we went totally bankrupt but started a new life soon after.
Today after seven years my mom has overcomed the situation and we together fought for justice and my uncle has been thrown behind the bars.
Now my dad is resting in a better place. The letter which was hopeless at the beginning changed my life forever. I got my mom back and my dad is declared a true gentleman by the court.
