Store room - 2

I couldn't wait for coming out of the store room. The person outside the store room pushed the door with his full strength. I was crying very loudly. He managed to push the door with full force and Somehow he opened the door. When the door opened. I didn't see the person standing in front of me. I just closed my eyes, hugged him very tightly, started crying very loudly and after some time I got faint in his arms. When I opened my eyes, I was in very dark room. I started looking here and there but couldn't not find anyone. But after sometime I saw a girl child in a corner of the room. she was facing the wall and She was hugging her knees and crying in very low voice. But at the same time her voice was very impactful. The whole room was surrounded by her crying voice only. I slowly went to that direction for checking who is she! When I reached to her I said, " hello who are you?" But she didn't respond as she didn't hear me. Then I repeated the same statement but still she didn't respond. when I was about to touch her shoulder then suddenly she turned her face. Her full body was in same position but her face got turned which forced me to go back. I got scared by her face as her eyes were oozing with blood and her sudden moment made me more scared. After looking at my scared face that small girl started laughing very loudly. Then she stood up at her place and started coming near me. I tried to run away but couldn't. She caught my leg and tried pulling my leg. I tried to run away but couldn't because she was holding my leg very tightly. I cried, "Help, help, help, help." and closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I was in my bedroom. It was evening time. Then I realised that was dream. but when I thought about store room I shouted very loudly, "that was real." I looked here and there but I couldn't see anybody. I thought of going outside my room for checking the person who helped me to come out of the store room. When I was about to move from my bed. I saw a person standing on my doorstep holding a tray with two cup of coffee. It was Robin. When I saw him I started crying. He came near me, kept the tray on a side table, Sat beside me and hugged me. Then I started crying more loudly. He started caressing my shoulder and told, " Eliza, Relax I am here, No one is going to harm you." I stopped crying when I realised I was holding his shirt very tightly. I left his shirt and stayed silent at my place. He stood up, Took the chair and sat in front of me. He handed me a cup of coffee and asked me what happened in the store room. I took the cup and started telling him what all happened to me and how I was locked in the store room. Then he stayed silent for few seconds. Then I asked him, How did you come here?"

He replied, "The notes which you returned me this morning was not my notes, it was yours. You told me about your address so I thought of returning your book as we have our homeworks to complete."

Then I gave him sorry smile and said, "Oh so sorry for inconvenience, that was by mistake."

"Oh no, it's absolutely fine. But I am really happy that I managed to rescue you from store room" Robin said.

he said, " When I entered in your bungalow , I rang the bell many times but no one came. When I pushed the entrance door. It was open so I thought someone might be inside. When I came inside I called you but no one replied then I thought of leaving than I heard your voice from store room. I ran towards the store room. I heard your voice you were crying and calling for help. Then I started pushing the door with my body. When you came outside the store room you didn't look at me, you fainted in my arms. So I carried you to this room and went to your kitchen for making coffee. When I returned you were already awake. I am very glad that you are fine now."

I said thank you to him for saving me. He replied with just smile. When we finished our coffee after a minute he said, " Let's go."

I asked, " Where?"

He said, " Let's go to the store room for checking what was there?" I immediately rejected his option to go and check the store room. But he didn't listen to me. He held my hand and took me downstairs. I again said no but he said to me, " Calm down Eliza, I am here, don't worry." I was scared. I didn't want to go there. But he told me everything will be fine. Then I just started following him when we came in front of the store room door. He tried opening the door but the door wasn't opening. Then he told me, "look the door is jam. That is why it wasn't opening and you thought it was ghost who did that." He pushed the door with full strength of his body. We entered in the store room. He turned on the flashlight from his phone. He turned to me and told me to follow him. I started following him. He asked me where I heard the crying voice? I showed him the place by pointing my finger at that direction where I heard the crying voice. So he started walking to that direction and I followed him. I was very scared but then I thought, "I am not alone here like last time." We both went to the place where I heard the crying voice. But couldn't find anything. Then we both heard that crying voice again. I stopped moving at that time and stood at my place while Robin started searching for something, He started moving everything from here to there. When he lifted the white sheet from old sofa. Which was very dirty. When he lifted that sheet, We started caughing because of the dust on that sheet and there we found a doll. The crying voice was coming from that doll. The doll was very dirty. It had three buttons on backside of the doll. There were red, yellow and black buttons. When Robin clicked on the red button the doll stopped crying. When he clicked on the yellow button the doll started laughing and when he clicked on the black button doll again started crying like before. Which made both of us shock. We both looked at each other and started laughing. After few seconds he told me look you were getting scared for nothing. It was just a doll. Then I thought, I heard crying voice but what about the woman who was calling me. I told Robin about the woman's voice. He said that could be my imagination. I thought about it but I didn't want to put more pressure on those things as I was already having headache because of the stress. I told him, "Let's go" Then we both left store room and locked the store room. We both went straight to the kitchen. I made two cup of coffee. We were having our coffee. Then I heard the door bell rang. Then I got up from the sofa and started walking towards the door with a cup of coffee in my hand. I opened the door. It was mom and dad when I saw them. I hugged mom very tightly and started crying while dad was caressing my head. Mom and dad got worried about me.

Then mom asked, "What happen Eliza?"

Dad asked, " Why are you crying my baby?"

I didn't reply to them. I was just crying. After hearing their questions I started crying very loudly. When they both saw Robin.

Dad started asking questions to Robin, "Who are you? What are you doing here? and Why is my daughter crying? Did you do something to her?" Dad started walking towards Robin. Robin was looking at me to explain the situation to dad. Then I stopped dad and said, "Dad, He is my friend Robin." I stopped crying and introduced themselves. Then we all sat on sofa and Robin started telling mom and dad what happened to me in store room. While I sat with mom and hugged her and mom was caressing my hairs with concern. When Robin finished talking about store room everyone started laughing on me. Dad started teasing me, " little girl scared of dolls." I just said, " No, I was not scared of dolls." and hid my face behind mom. Then all of them started laughing. Then I told mom, "I am feeling very hungry." Then mom said, "l will make something for both of you." And then she started walking towards kitchen for making something for me and Robin. But Robin stopped mom and said, "No Auntie, you don't have to worry. I am leaving." But when mom and dad insisted then he said ok. Dad told us to complete our homework till then. We both went to my room. We exchanged our books. We sat on study table and started completing our homework. He helped me with my maths homework as I am little weak in maths. Robin also told me about his hobbies, friends, family and many more things while we were completing our homeworks. We also talked about our college festival which was coming very soon and we were very excited for the festival. After an hour mom called me and Robin downstairs. I packed my bag and he took his book. We both went straight downstairs and sat on the dining table while Mom came with food in her hand. Mom served food to us and sat beside Robin. she talked to Robin about his family while we both had our food. After having the food Robin stood up from his place and said bye to everyone. Mom and dad thanked him for helping me to come out from the store room. He just gave a genuine smile to everyone and waved his hand to say bye.
