Hide And Seek

Finally, it was the daughter’s sixth birthday. The time was around the corner when the ever hidden secret room would come to its disclosure. The family together played hide and seek that day. The adults hid in different corners of the house and the birthday girl decides to hide in her favorite spot. Her grandmother’s trunk. Since childhood days, the girl would hide in this old trunk full of junk. But, this time she finds something suspicious in this trunk. What was this unknown?

A Torn Paper

While hiding inside the trunk, the girl finds a coarse substance. She retouches it to realize as to what exactly it was. She was amazed to find a scroll. It was a map to something little known. Something similar to a treasure hunt. This was not the first time that the girl was hiding in this trunk. She has been here many times. She would unwrap everything present in that trunk. Due to this habit of hers, the father intentionally hides the map of the treasure hunt into this trunk.

The Possibilities

The girl started cooking possibilities of what could be there in the room the map promises. A box full of chocolates and candies? Or maybe a room stuffed with toys? Maybe it’s an entire new barbie world? Can I find Minnie mouse over there? Or maybe a Donald Duck. A treasure chest full of gold coins just like they find in storybooks? Or would it be a haunted place which is abandoned for years?

Overly Excited

Quite obvious of her nature, the girl got really excited to find a treasure hunt in her home. She was over the moon and asked her father to help her with it. She wished to find the secret room which the map promised. She along with her father sets in to find the room. Following the map, they reached the hallway of their home, and beneath the carpet, they found something interesting.

The Hallway

On reaching the hallway, as they stepped over the running carpet, the little girl could feel something beneath it. Even the map had some dark pink marks at this spot. The girl readily picks up the carpet from the side to find what’s hiding beneath it. She was surprised to find a card lying there. It appeared to be something similar to a cue card. She reads it loud, “You are on the right path”. This made the little girl’s confidence on this map firm. She was getting sure that she would definitely find something in the end.

Her Bedroom

Step after step, the girl, and her father matched their footprints with the way on the map. The father was extremely happy to realize that his daughter was so keen to find the room, which he created years ago, for his child to find later. The map took the girl to her bedroom. She was surprised that the room she has been residing in since years, has a treasure which she had absolutely no clue about. Where can the secret room be located, that it never caught the little one’s eye?
