He was 7 years old when he left his grandfather's house. His father wanted to do a business in city. So they shifted to city leaving their grand parents in village. His grandparents doesn't want to leave the village as they were living there from years. He does not want to leave them. He was very much attached to them. His day starts with them and ends with them. But his father forced him to come with them. After some days of shifting though their family adjusted to the new environment,he badly missed his grandparents house. He missed playing with his grandparents, playing hide and seek behind trees, sleeping under the sky,counting stars,hearing stories while sleeping. His life has totally changed. In childhood he used to visit the village in holidays. But after some time his visits were limited as his father doesn't allowed him to visit much because of his studies.
Now he was 25 years old. When he was 14 his grandparents died because of their health conditions. They were no one to take care of them. Last time he visited was to attend the funeral. In his life he first time saw a person's dead body. It felt very miserable for him as they were his grandparents. He cried with all his heart. He felt guilty for leaving them alone to death. The place where he played was deserted. They were dead bodies around. All he could hear was the cries of the people. A place where they were only laughs were filled with cries now. From that day he never visited that place again. He was indeed afraid to visit the place as it contains a lot of memories. He was bed ridden for a week after that incident.
But he wants to visit the place again. He want to face it as he was running away from it since years. The place which he loved and never visited again because of a incident, which contains all his childhood and the best of his life, he was going to visit that place.
Next morning he reached the place. It was abandoned from years. By seeing the place he felt nostalgic. He slowly started walking inside. He passed the garden where he and his grandfather used to water plants, he reached a place where their dead bodies were placed last time. He could feel all the memories. He looked around and found his grandmother running after him to feed him. The memories were flashing infront of his eyes. Tears were rolling down his cheeks. He was unaware of his tears also. He entered the house. In the hall he could feel his grandfather teaching him alphabets, at dinning table the whole family was having lunch. He went inside bedroom and found himself hiding in a cupboard and playing hide and seek. He moved from one place to the other where he slept with both his grandparents, the place where he heard a lot of stories, the place where he used to lye and count stars with his grandparents. It was a place where he lived his life.
"The broken glasses still contain glimpses of memories, the pictures still hang on the wall. The open drawers still depicts stories". He cried holding all the pictures. It was like yesterday where he played with them.
He spent the whole day by relieving each and every moment. Suddenly his phone flshed with his dad's name. He picked the call and answered he was in the village. He father asked him why u went there? It was an abandoned place now. He replied "Abandoned places are the best ones to visit" dad and informed him that he will b back by next day.
