A Call
Carrol stayed back with her mother while her brother took their father to the doctor. He called Carrol from the hospital itself and gave her the sad heart-breaking news; it was Leukemia. She was emotional but she had her family to look after and she has to take care of her mother as well. She could feel her father’s pain but it wasn’t for too long that her mind was about to get diverted towards the biggest concern of her life.
Bad News
After a few advanced tests, doctors said that Mr. Clifford was at the last stage of Leukemia and will not hold on to life for too long. All the relatives and friends came to meet him and bid their final goodbyes to the man who lived a successful life but none of them knew what he hid from everyone throughout his life. It was just so huge that no one could imagine in their strangest of dreams.
Back To House
Carrol was staying with her parents’ as she wanted to help both of them. Moreover, she wanted to spend more time with her favorite person. But the home didn’t remind her of childhood anymore as her dad was on the verge of death. Sorrow and grief overflowed in the house.
Do Not Touch
One day when Carrol was looking for any books to read when her eyes stopped at this drawer she was given strict instructions to stay away from since her childhood. She has always wanted to know what lies inside it. This time as no one was there, she decided to take a step ahead as she can’t control her curiosity anymore.
Mystery
She was nervous, she knew her dad wouldn’t like it at all. He never wanted anyone to see what was inside the drawer. She was guessing it to be some ancestral thing that his father didn’t want to show anyone as long as he lives. But what she was about to found inside this drawer was not just another object. But something she couldn’t have imagined in any way.
Drawing Out
Standing in front of the drawer, she looked around to assure herself that no one was watching her. When she opened the drawer, she was thrilled to see that the drawer was not having any ancestral thing, in fact, nothing at all just a paper. Seriously? So much concern just for a piece of paper? She couldn’t believe that a paper was it! She recalled her father’s concern throughout his life and his concern about the drawer and she immediately grabbed the paper as she was scared to death with the possibilities of what could be written on it.
