He came running and banged the door, “Help! Anyone there....? Help me!” [Scared]
It was midnight. Ice was spread all around the city like it was a freezer of nature. The air was blowing silently and had put everyone in the deep sleep of dreams.
Miss George was in her dream of rose gardens, as she was given a rose by one of her students. And suddenly, a bulldozer shattered her garden. She woke up and heard someone shouting for help. Due to a sense of emergency, she forgot to put her slippers on and ran towards the door.
When she was about 3 meters away from the door, shouting and banging on the door stopped suddenly. She was really scared and confused if she is still dreaming. She pinched herself and realized reality.
Miss George, “Who’s there…? How may I help you?... Are...Are you hearing me?... If you will not reply...I’m not going to open the door….Heyyy!”
Suddenly, she heard a banging from her bedroom. A terrific situation was created. She wasn’t able to understand what to do? Her phone line was dead and she was not able to contact Mr. George or any of her neighbors. She was not able to decide either to open the door or to have a look at her bedroom. She was about to decide what to do next until that second sound shattered the air in the house and Mrs. George's heart.
She was just shouting from the standing place, “Whoooo iisss theerree?... I’m warning you, I’ll call the police” [She was having terrific voice]
The atmosphere was totally terrific. She was not able to understand what to do and what to not. [what would you had done in such a situation, anyways let’s get back to the story]
She covered her mouth and sat down on the place where she was standing.
[Few minutes later...]
She gathered all her strength and courage and decided to move toward her bedroom. As two times the sound had arisen from there. Due to extreme cold, she was also shivering and had put her nightdress with a blanket from her head, covering the upper part of the body.
With the fear in her heart and courage inside she started to move toward her bedroom. She was just holding her candle in her hand and trying to move as fast as possible.
When she was moving forward to her bedroom, she felt some moments were going on inside there. She got more terrified as except her there was no one inside the house. Her heart was beating more than the normal speed.
Stepped on the first stair which was going toward her bedroom and she found some moments and her 6th sense was right. Now, with every step, her heartbeats were increasing.
She reached the door of her bedroom and it was closed. Strange! As she had left the door open. By gathering all the courage, she grabbed the knob and twisted.
THE DOOR OPENED…
“MERRY CHRISTMAS...MISS GEORGE... ” [All the neighbors together]
Miss George said, “You guys just terrified me… I will… I will ... Thank you, everyone. Wish you all Merry Christmas to my children.”
Miss George had never been involved in any Christmas party after Mr. George was gone. Actually, he will never come back but Miss George always waits that he will come one day.
These horrified and mysterious ideas of her students living in the neighborhood gave her a lot of happiness that was missing somewhere in her life.
Let us make other’s Christmas full of happiness.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE.
