A TWIST OF FATE

INCERTITUDE -2

CONTINUED.............

"What????" Both Frank and me were shocked.

"Please don't say no.......if you let us see her room once....i will never show my face here again..." Tay almost begged.

I was beyond shocked.

"Why Tay?? Why?" I asked in frustration.

"New please......I need to know what happened between her and mom and how are they connected. He hates mom and mom named a whole hospital wing after her! Why??"

"Grandpa doesn't let anyone enter her room......." Frank hesitated.

"Frank your grandpa is emotional about the whole thing ......he will never allow us in there.....but you can......please....one last help kid..." Tay stared at Frank.

"Tay.....is it really necessary? What are you looking for??" I asked in confusion.

Why was Tay being so desperate? What was about this woman........

"Don't ever call me kid.....I am noone to you.....understand!!! Okay i will let you all into her room......but promise me that I would never have to see your faces again." Frank said  folding his arms near his chest as if trying to make a decision.

"Never...Promise" Tay said decisively.

"Okay fifteen minutes....that's all I can give. It's upstairs the corner most room "
He pulled out a drawer and took out a key. He handed it to Tay, "Don't touch anything......I don't know why you want to see the room but I hope that you find what you are looking for."

"Why don't you come with us Frank?" I asked Frank.

"No.....I don't think that's a good idea....."

"At least show us the room....this is a huge house......."

Frank nodded reluctantly.

*****

The door made a creaking sound as we entered the room. It gave out an eerie feeling and I felt goosebumps all over my body. Seemed like no one had opened that door....in ages.

Frank switched on the lights.
Everything in the room was covered with white sheets. It was very cold as if the room had not seen sunlight for years. The curtains were all drawn and seemed untouched.  The light too wasn't very bright casting out elongated shadows on the mass of whiteness everywhere.

I felt like I had entered the sets of a horror movie and anytime i would see a floating white figure somewhere....... honestly had it not been for Tay I would never had come to such a place😒

"I will leave the two of you here....." Frank said in a soft voice.

"It's okay you can stay......" Tay muttered while lifting one of the white sheets from the couch.

"It's not that........I.....I......am severely allergic to dust.......I would start sneezing if I stay here too long."

Tay's hand had frozen midair. He looked at Frank as if wanting to say something but decided against it.
