ALONE AT HOME

It was quite some time after daddy and mummy had gone. Lia looked at the pussy cat which was trying to catch the fish in the aquarium. “He can’t catch it” thought Lia. “As the aquarium is so high”. She took the phone and carefully dialled the number.”9…….4……6….7……” Hello, she said. ‘The number you have called is not accepting the call at this moment. Please try again later’. The same voice. She threw away the phone with anger. “Why is mom and dad not coming? “She yelled.” oh no! after some time it will be night. And there will be power cut. Oh god! Please help me. Dark at night……alone at home………power cut!.........today is the worst day in my life. She looked at the window. “Is someone coming? No, it’s only my imagination. But I think someone is coming “.”yeh! I am right. Someone is coming! Is that the child who came yesterday for milk? “No, it is not he. Then who is coming? Is that a GHOST?

                       The body came near to her house. The current was gone.so she could not recognize who was coming.it rang the bell. Lia was shivering and she slowly came without making sound.” Tinnnnnnnnn………” the bell rang once more. She, looked once more from the window. “No, I can’t recognize who is this?”. The bell rang once more. She, with all her courage, ready to run slowly opened the door. Yeh! Its G…H…OOS…T.” No dear, it’s you……” she didn’t hear the words. She ran as fast as she could to the underground home. She was sweating. Once again, she looked from the underground room’s small hole. “No, its not seen “suddenly the current came, and she looked. It was DAD and MOM !!!she came and told them all about her experience. They along with Lia laughed madly.
