What’s this all chaos? exclaimed Lilly.

Oh no who entered my house !! such a mess! As she enters her house she sees crazy drawings, letters, and numbers written on the floor with colorful chalks. What? I am gonna kill that Sharma's kid! She said. Then she enters her house and sees’s the walls of the house full of drawings with crayons and chalks. That Sharma's kid! She goes in further and notices toys, dolls of her from her childhood. Oh no she even invaded my stuff!! She exclaimed. She heads towards the kitchen to get some water. She observes a lot of burnt food like cakes, she even observes burnt vessels and on the other hand, she observes very well made and decorated cakes saying “Happy birthday mom” with a cute little greeting card made with love. She read that card and tears rolled down her cheeks. She remembered that when she was 11 she made her first cake after many terrible attempts for her mama’s birthday and that letter even read the same readings as she wrote. She was confused. “It’s not Sharma’s daughter, a 5-year-old can’t make a cake!” she thought. She was scared and confused. She got a lot of different negative thoughts like “is my house haunted” or “was it both Sharma and her daughter’s plan to ruin my life more” or “anybody hated me?” and many more. she rushed towards the master bedroom in her house. There she found a broken lipstick and many other drawings on the wall made with the lipstick and a broken makeup kit. She remembered to this day that once her mom had gone out she used her lipstick and make-up kit and broke them both. she even fell from the stool and got her hand fractured. She remembered the panic and fear in her mother’s heart and even the scoldings she got for invading her mama’s things and even breaking them.

She was confused about what was happening?

What’s this!! She exclaimed

With confusion in her mind, she went to the garden to see if something was wrong even there.

To her surprise, she saw all the plants that she potted and her mini gardening tools that she used when she was small. She sat on the grass and was examining the situation of her house. And thinking about the person who did this to her house. After a long thought process, she exclaimed

“It’s me!!!!” she got up and walked towards the swimming pool still pondering on her thoughts and by mistake slipped into the pool ……..

Lilly woke up at once

Her mother asked are you fine? Did you experience a nightmare again???

Shock in her face slowly turned to a smile and she said “no maa I experienced something special “

After a pause she said

“MY CHILDHOOD”
