Life Beyond the Doors

Chapter 6 : Crossing to old life

Brings back memories of my past -

I really had forgotten about this door if not for my grandma. But based on other circumstances should I really ..? I was really enjoying my time ... but she's important.
.
.
.
.

When it was late at night ; all the maids went away . I thought maybe this is the right time to do the work now . I went near the wardrobe . I holded the knob.

.
.
.
"The knob has been broken and now it's in rust.."

It's only because I told my father to make another wardrobe for me to keep my clothes . I want to bury away the memories of my life there ....
.
.

And I told my maids not to touch this wardrobe and leave it as it is . Mostly I can't seem to destroy it ; only because what if they find out ... What if my story is found out ! I don't want any of this precious memories go into waste !! So I left as it is ... and I promised not to touch it again ...!

*faint laugh* But who knew I would do it again ...

But my life here is precious .

            
             "Life Beyond the Doors"

With this thing , I opened the door of my wardrobe . There were some coats inside which is covering the door so that if accidentally opened people wouldn't notice . I shoved the coats and sighed a bit ...

.
.

"There's the door...", as I noticed as soon as I pulled all the clothes away. A faint smell came upto my nose ..the faint smell of wood..

.
.
As I moved the knob I felt as if what if I can't return back to my life here ; what if what I was experiencing all the time was a dream . My father .. my mom and Loren ; what if all of them were a lie all along . I looked back one more time at my room and breathe heavily ..  "Well , I can't back down , can I ?"

" Grandma's waiting for me ...", I thought .

But thankfully the door was not locked so I could open it .. I felt weird and scared at the same time . I mean what excuse can I give to Madame Rosalia. I can't say anything against my siblings ?! Going against them would make me hurt even more.
.
.
Well , whatever excuse or result I get ; that's not important right now ! Grandma's Heath is the most priority for  now !!

"...Marlin?"

Hearing the word , I felt like my heart sank . I could understand right away who it was ! I turned to look to the direction the sound came from and saw -

Madame Rosalia?! She was glaring at me as usual ..

"What the hell are you doing here and in-front of this door !?", she said.

.
.

I bend down and apologised, " I'm sorry!!"
.
.
After hearing no shouts or whatsoever I looked at her . She was just standing.

.
.
She didn't do anything and just said, " Whatever.. come give the dishes to the kids" She went away just like that ....
.
.
.

I was dumbfounded. What was that ?!
It was very unusual that she didn't scold me or beat me to death rather she just brushed it off like it was nothing ..I was confused but glad since I'm saved at least for now ..

I went inside the house and to see the exact reality but I saw the glass was broken as usual . That means the incident happened ! Then why —
.
.

"Wasn't she scolding me or perhaps they didn't tell her ...?" As I was immersed in thoughts I finally found the answer to my problem after hearing their conversation..

As the old house had new furnitures ..Madame Rosalia planned to buy new furnitures and things which suited her . She would buy extravagant things because she likes to lead life lavishly and spent a lot of money ...
.
.
Sometimes spending a lot of money could lead us to huge debts . That's why the married couple used to fight often for all of this . Like how and why ..

.

So , back to the topic . They were discussing what to buy and what to sell ; what to buy for my so called siblings and of course I wouldn't get a penny for myself . So I just sat there and listened .

.
.
When I met my Grandma she was really happy . She hugged me with her energy left within her . She looked pale as ghost . None of this family was taking care of her ..!

" I'm glad to see . I missed you , my dear"

"Me too, grandma !"

I hugged back .

Until the topic of the broken glass was brought up . I gasped and sat still like a stone ; feeling unwell what could happen to me . But unusually -

Madame Rosalia said , " Now , I need to buy the window glass that Sina broke *sigh* You kids shouldn't have done that!"
.
.

Sina was trembling as Madame Rosalia constantly shouted at her ... but why ? Wasn't I being blamed ?
Why is she getting scolded ? A lot of questions are as coming on my mind one by one .

*Hiccups*

....Dammed , such a bad timing .....
.
.

I did the hiccups accidentally. All of them in the table stared at me .. until Madame Rosalia finished eating her steak ; wiped her mouth with a napkin . Even though Madame Rosalia is arrogant , she's a fine lady with manners . That is the only one thing good about her .. like getting 1/10
.
.
As I stared at her . She pointed the fork right at me .

"You!"

"...."

"If only you were playing with them , You would have break it instead of Sina !!"

".....Ha? I would have broke it . As if ?! I didn't even get the chance to hold the bat thanks to your kids and you're saying I would definitely break it ?! How stupid" - don't think I actually said it . This was all my thoughts .
.
.

But nows not the right time to think that ....
.
.

"Wasn't I playing with them ? Then how ....?"
.
.
.

Wait ... since I crossed this door . They didn't even asked me where I was for the past 1 year . Did my existence disappeared? And right now it appeared since I'm here now . Then it must be it -!!!!
.
.
I stood up accidentally when I realised . Madame Rosalia looked at me .
.
.

"What is it now ?"

"I don't have any appetite to eat . So I'll go to my room now"

"Don't forget to clean the dishes"

*pfft* Sina and Dina was laughing openly .

"I will .." I didn't had time to mind . Now that I have found a golden opportunity once in a lifetime . After giving medicine to grandma . I hurriedly to bed and wrote down the list of my works and timings here and in the other world .

I laughed and thought , " I'm really lucky person by god !" Wanna know what's in my thoughts ?
