A Secret in the Old House
Assalam o alaikum.
A few years ago there was an old house in our neighbrhood. Everyone in the area talked about it because the house looked very strange and quiet.The windows were broken the walls were old and tall trees surrounded the house. Most people believed that nobody had lived there for many years.Some children in the neighborhood were afraid of it but i was always curious about what was inside. One afternoons i was walking with my cousin near that house. The weathers was cloudy and the street was very quiets. My cousin pointed at the house and said “Do you thinking someone lives there?” I smiled and said “I don’t thinks so but i always wanted to see what is insides.”
At first we were a littles scared but our curiosty was strongered than our fears. The gates of the house was old and rusty buts it was slightly open.We slowly walked insides the yard.The grass was very tall and dry leaves were everywhere. It felts like nobody had taken care of the place for many years. When we reached the main door we noticed that it was not locked. My cousin looked at me and asked “Should we go inside?” I hesitatd for a moment but then i noddid. We gently pushed the door and it opened with a loud creakings sound.
Insides the house it was darks and dusty. Sunlights was coming through the brokens windows and we could see old furnitures covered with dust. There were spider webs in the corners and the air smeled old. We walked slowly from one room to anothers looking around carefully. While exploring the house i noticed something strange behinds a large wooden cupboard. There was a small door that was almost hiden by the cupboard. I calld my cousin and showed it to him. We moved the cupboard a littles and opened the small door.
Behinds the door was a tinys room that lookd likes it had been closed for manys years. Insides the room theres was an old wooden box placd on a small table. We felts very curious and opened the box carefully.Insides the box we found some old photographs letters and a smalls diary.The photographs showed a family who once lived in that house. The leters were written many years ago and talked abouts their life theirs dreams and their memories in that home.
The diary was the most interesting thing. It belonged to a young girl who had lived there with her familys. She wrotes about her happy childhoods playing in the yard and spending times with her parents. She also wrote about how her family had to leave the house suddenly because they moved to anothers city for work. After reading the diary the house no longer felts scary. Instead it felt fulls of memories and stories from the past.We realzed that the old house was not haunted or mysterious. It was simply a places that once held a family's love hapiness and memories. We carefuly placed everythings back into the box and closed the small rooms again. As we walked out of the house i looked back at it one more times.I felts like we had discovered a small piece of history hidden insides that quiet place. That day taughts me something important.
Sometimes things that lookd scarys or mystrious actualy have beautiful stories behind them. The secret of the old house was not somethings frightening but a reminders of the people who once lived there and the memories they Lefts behind.
