Parents. Who are they?

Two people who completes a happy family. But something is wrong. I mean

mine, mine parents. They always chose for me. Is there something they

are afraid of? They never let me go out like others. I am just sick of

this all. But now can complete my dream. I will be 18 soon.

My last words on my

diary before I was packing up. I heard my mom calling me downstairs

with the same irritating voice. I unconsciously pack my back pack with

every suitable thing I could have found. I got up and rushed to the

main door with my blue suitcase in the other hand. The wheels of

suitcase were hitting the stairs which made my parents run in my

direction.

"And where do you think

you are going miss?" my mom said while folding her arms straight to

here chest. She was not the same women i knew 5 years ago. She changed

her behavior towards me. Now she gives me the most angry glares.And my

dad? he follows her all orders like a guard.

"Mom, I am 18 now. No

need to worry about my future in your own way. Now I am capable on my

own." I was determined to reached to that door. Just 5 steps and I will

be out of this jail. But mother was faster then me. she blocked my

path of going out. And then she yelled at me.

"Do you have a visa? your ID? who will know that you're 18 my child?" she said while having a shaking grin in her smile.

I took out my ID which

was updated. I took it yesterday from my mother's closet while she was

talking with her friend. I showed it to her. She was shocked and angry

and her hands fell of her chest.

"You are too cruel aren't you talking like this to your parents?" she pointed at me. She was looking like she is going too broke apart from her wrath.

"WHAT about you?! You never cared about my wishes, you never care about how I felt when I was being left alone by my friends. They always found me boring. I-I also want to go out like them please..."I

screamed. I never talked like this with my mother. My dad had lines in

his forehead. With a shock and a desperate emotion, he left the room. I

didn't looked at my mother's face and then I burst out of that house.

And then I walked till I reached the bus stop.

was not that great and many of you may have found it very gloomy. But I can

ensure you that as the story will continue you will start getting the plot. So guys

I really appreciate you. You can comment on how it is and thank you again.

"The weather of August,

still hits different. Why is it called a romantic season when all I

can see is misery in my path? My parents, they never cared about my

decisions." These were all those thoughts I had on my mind that time. I

was sitting on the night bus. Just two hours are left and I will be

18, not a very big problem I guess." I muttered to myself. I eventually

started looking around the whole bus as I didn't notice when I came in

hastily. There were not many passengers that time, only a few ones.

Some of them were sleeping and some were actually very creepy. "Hard

day maybe they had" I told myself while adjusting in that firm seat

again.

The bus stopped at

the last station. Everyone came down from it and disappeared in the

dark making their ways home. I was very desperate at that moment

because the city I needed to go was like 10 to 12 hours away from

there. So I booked a cab, as I knew today I needed to stay somewhere.

Maybe they will call it off as I will be soon 18. I have money with me

so there will be no problem.

It was 10:40pm already.

I started looking out here and there for that car. Usually I used to

memorize the no. plates. The thing I needed to do was to find that same

one. There were no cars in that road. It was very disturbing standing

there all alone. And the best part was that when all those haunted

videos started flashing in my eyes which I used to watch while eating

popcorn. But after some time out of nowhere a car stopped in my left

side. I really didn't hear it coming but the no. was matched with it so I

didn't think anything else. I had already convinced him about me being

18 after a short time but in return he had given me the most

horrifying glare I had ever seen. It was dark and you can say because

of that I was only able to see his eyes and half of his upper face. I

didn't mind much because I was desperate of any of my move, so I

quietly sat in the back seat.

I know that I am the

most careless person in my whole town. But sleeping in that suspicious

car was the worst thing I ever felt till now. When I woke up it was

already 11:45pm, so I started looking outside as I was never been out

for this late, let all alone myself. It was raining and all I could see

outside was trees on my both side of the road. The raindrops in the

car window were racing with each other making me concentrate more in

them. But suddenly I remembered that I needed to find a place to stay

tonight. "How can I forget about this? What the hell is wrong with me?"

I blurted it out. And just after that my eyes fell on the rear mirror.

I shivered down to hell when I saw him looking at me with the

creepiest and mean look, like he was plotting something. I looked away

in my phone to distract myself, so I decided to look at the map of that

location. I really start panicking inside when I saw that there was no

place to stay in that area and I was sure that this road was very

uncommon in use as it's a long way to the city. This place has its own

creepy legend which I never followed. The moment I looked down in my

phone again, the car stopped. I saw the mirror, but this time he was

facing the right side in the window. I moved my head in that direction.

All my senses come alive; I mean I was so glad and blessed that moment

that my eyes had start to felt heavy with tears. There was a house,

not a house but a very big place or you can say for me a place to stay

one night. I had already given the payment online so I just came out of

that suffocating car and took a deep breath. I came further and

further to that house to actually see what is written in that board.

"Paying guest..." I read it out loud. I was very happy by the fact that

I didn't need the help of anyone in my family. "Wow I learned to help

myself, without anyone's help" I yelp. "By the way thank you...?" I

looked behind to thank him. But he was already gone. Like the way he

came at first. I didn't mind that much as I was busy being happy. But

that happiness didn't turn the way I want it to be.

The Stay

I started to walk towards the main entrance of that

place. The board had led lights and opened was written on it, though it was a

little bit tilted and the lights were flickering. It was a complete set of a

horror movie I thought. When I came in, I saw a woman in the entrance hall. She

was looking like she hadn’t slept for many days. As I came more nearer to her,

her gaze met my eyes. She must not be very happy by my presence as her glare

was telling so. So I looked the other way and I saw a man. His eyes were

completely covered up by his bangs. He was looking like a man in his

mid-twenties. His hands were inside his pockets and he was wearing a jean

hoodie and pants. It was really weird but I was feeling his stare on me. So I

looked at that counter where that woman was standing. I asked her, “Hey umm,

can you please give me a key of a room. And I will only stay for a night.” I

don’t know why I spout out that last thing. She looked at me; it was rather a

guilty look, then she moved to get the key. I don’t know what happened to her;

maybe she was happy knowing that I was here for one night only.

I took out my

phone, it was already past 12. Knowing how I am already an adult made me smirk

a little. Suddenly I felt someone behind me, coming closer and closer. Just as I

looked behind, the man with bangs in front of his eyes was behind me. He held my

shoulders and started to moving me back and forth, shouting why am I here.

“Why-why are

you here?! You should not have come here!!” he was looking like a complete

psycho. I was scared and furious at the same time so I pushed him away and

shouted, “It’s my choice to come here! Who are you? I don’t even know you!” I

was very angry. Just who he was? How can someone do this kind of thing to

someone they just met? I was going to say another word but just in time the

same lady came running.  She stopped us

doing anything further and said sorry to me in his behalf. She gave me the keys

of the room and told me to go away for that moment. As I was coming out of that

hall I looked behind once more. She was whispering something in his ears. I

ignored them and came out of that hall.

It was looking like a place which once was a simple

house but rooms after rooms were built into it. Must be a very big land I

thought. But all of a sudden a thing stopped me. I don’t know which room she

had given to me. It was just a key with no name on it. I literally didn’t

wanted to go back to face them again. “A bunch of creeps” I murmured. I needed

to find a room myself which must be locked. So I started searching for it.

That place

had 3 floors with 4 rooms each. I had already searched in the 2nd floor. Not even a single door was locked there. So I came back to the 1st floor and started searching for a room again, if I had missed any. But to my

surprise there was a very different door which I hadn’t noticed before. It had

different colour and design. More dull and old in look which had made me more

curious to know what’s inside it? I was constantly thinking that it must be a

place where the old items were kept so I came more near to it. The moment I

touched it, it made a little sound of creaking. One thing was for sure now. It

was completely opened. So just why can’t I take a little peek? I was really

lucky to have tools and cameras I thought. “I will just click one or two and

will come out eventually.” I murmured to myself with satisfaction. As I opened

it, it made the same old creaking sound like the one on horror movies. It hadn’t

been oiled for a long time. I was becoming more and more curious every minute. So

at last I opened it. But to my surprise it got stuck in the middle. I tried to

open it further but it didn’t even move a single bit. So I used the area which

was already opened to enter. The moment I stepped inside, smell of old books

and furniture started to fill my nose. It was a long rectangle room with

windows in 2 meter each. My both sides were filled with bookshelves and other furniture;

it was a very calm place to study. Light wind was blowing, moving curtains

slightly back and forth. But one thing was really odd there. It was the month

of august but I started to shiver. The aura in that room was really gloomy but I

was not feeling it the moment I had entered. My teeth started to stutter as I

was going more deep in that room. I really wanted to go back but my feet were

not letting me. Hunger of curiosity was chewing me up to know what’s in the end

there.

Next part: But suddenly the door thud opened in my

back with shrill voices. And I was scared as hell that my feet stopped moving

any further.

A/N- Hello guys, so this was the end of The Stay. I know

it became too long but I don’t know, my hands were not stopping the moment I started

having idea. Like the FL feet were not halting. ;)
