The Arrival

A young bengali boy named Ashutosh came to kolkata in search of a suitable job for himself. As soon as he arrived there, it started to rain heavily. Ashutosh was in a hurry to find a shelter since he didn't wanted to get wet in the rain and catch cold.

At first he took shelter under a banyan tree and as soon as the rain stoped he again started to walk on the streets in search of an apartment. Ashutosh got really very tired by searching apartmentsas he couldn't find any suitable affordable one. Alas,at the evening he came across an old creepy building which was situated in a very quiet corner of an alley.

At the first sight he did not feel like entering the apartment as it looked really creepy from outside but he had no other choice left with him as the dark clouds were again gathering ,bringing a heavy rainfall.

Ashutosh went inside the building and began to search for the landloard or the manager of the apartment. After a few minutes an old man with a stick in his hand came towards Ashutosh, when he saw him , he thought that the landloard must not be an easy man to deal with but as the landloard asked Ashutosh what is he looking for then Ashutosh got a bit relaxed and requested to know about the rent of the apartment and wether it was affordable for him. The landloard gave a very warm smile to Ashutosh and explained everything related to the building. After hearing the amount of the rent Ashutosh got really satisfied and planned to stay in there.The building had only two floors ,the first floor's room was occupied by Ashutosh and the second floor's room was locked. After entering the room ashutosh took a bath , went downstairs to eat his dinner with the landloard and went back to his room to sleep.

"He threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep but was unable to do so , as he was laying in the bed, he heard some unpleasant sounds coming from the second floor."

Ashutosh suddenly got up with a shock because he knew that when he saw the room of the second floor , it was locked and how come someone entered the room at the midnight the sound was intolerable for Ashutosh as he was not able to sleep anymore but after a few minutes the sound was becoming very soothing and pleasant, after listening to the music carefully he realised that someone was playing harmonium(a classical music instrument).

Ashutosh forgot about all the depression he had after listening to the music and just fell asleep in a very relaxed way.

"the next day - ashutosh was going out in search of a job and on the way he met the landloard so he thought about asking about the pleasant sounds coming from the second floor to the landloard".

The manager burst into laughter and after controlling himself he patted Ashutosh on his back and told him that he might had an illusion after such a long journey. Ashutosh got astonished and kept on arguing with the landloard about what happened last night , the landloard interrupted him and reminded him that he was running out of time , with a shock Ashutosh ran out of the apartment.
