5 years ago...
After completing my tenth standard examinations, I've got holidays for nearly 4 months and my brother who was doing his second year of doing mechanical engineering, took a few days leave to spend some time with us.
As my parents are always busy earning money, they don't really have much time to take care of us as we are able to take care of ourselves pretty good, we pretty much have to spend all our free time together.
So, we decided to spend omy holidays in our grand father's house. This house was pretty spacious, had three sections, two parallel to each other with a huge open area inbetween them and the third section behind and perpendicular to the two existing sections. This whole arrangement had been enclosed with a hude garden, surrounded with the boundary wall and the main gate.
The section on the left side from the main gate has a huge hall and two bedrooms. The section opposite it has the kitchen and the store room. The third section is the garage.
I never went to the store room as it was very dusty and almost never cleaned.
But....
For some reason, that day, I felt as that a few mysterious voice calling to me and I walked into there and with no idea or whatsoever. Inside that room I saw an ancient looker with all the ancient ritualistic turmeric and saffron threads and out of curiosity I opened the locker unbinding it.....
The next thing I remember is waking up in the hospital with so many gashes and heavy injuries where my brother is in a coma. When enquired, I found that, our grand father's house had been completely burnt, though heavily injured and had his head bashed he carried me all the way from that house to the hospital (nearly 5km) and then collapsed there.
I couldn't help but feel that this is all my fault.
