..................................

*Gasp* aaahh...haaaa*Gasp* aaahh...haaaaaaaahhh *gasp*

I can't breathe *gasp* I ... Can't breathe...

As I opened my eyes , I  tried to figure out  where I am...

Dark.... It's so dark ... I can't see anything...

I tried to adjust my eyes with the darkness. I  observed my surroundings... I see a table.. some broken piece of furniture.. I don't see anything significant.. and realized I'm sitting on a chair with some sticky moisture all over my body. What is it ? I touch it .
Sweat? Am I sweating?..

That's when reality hit me. I'm in the grounding room... Oh... That childhood nightmare again!! Why do I keep seeing this bullsh*t again and again?

That's when I sense someone else's movement in the room. My nerves started reacting instantly.

"WHO'S THERE?", I asked sternly.

While removing the curtains aside and letting sun rays come inside, a middle aged man said,
"Did you have a good night's  sleep, young lady?"

"Oh uncle Max ! How did you get in here ?! Dad..."

Uncle Max is the governor of the house.. not exactly this only mansion but in total five other mansions , yeah lots of hard work!!

"Master left the mansion and before going, said to free yo... I mean.. unlock the room."

"Oh"

"Young lady , I have prepared your bed for you please go to your room and take rest."

"No uncle Max , tell the chauffeur to get the car ready."

"Is young lady going somewhere?"

"School"

"Huh ... School!!" , He almost screamed in disbelief.
.

After I came out of the bathroom,I saw a platoon of maids standing in my room. And they literally turned my room into a shopping mall.

"What are you guys doing here? I'm sure I asked uncle Max only to get the car ready."

" Young lady, WE ARE JUST DOING OUR DUTY . PLEASE FORGIVE US IF WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING  WRONG." They said all together in one tone.
