My English assignment.....
They entered the hall with a huge door with a creepy door handle of oxen. Pema opened the door and when they entered the hall, they saw a big portrait. “He might have been powerful”, Pema said. ..The stair case was going in two directions around the hall. It was a hall with many rooms and a shandalear still hanging. The place was covered with mosses and there was little life in that place. They could hear the creepy sound of the animal which made them afraid and the girls cried and insisted pema to go back to the tent.
Pema wanted to scan the places properly when he heard a scream calling his name. Pema rushed towards where the sound came from and saw Ugyen and Lungten crying over Bandana. Pema rushed near them and three of them where in front of the portrait.”Pema, she is not opening her eyes”, Lungten sobbing and said. When he saw Bandana's face, her face was pale blue…….
Four of them were on their way to a place far away from their home. To a place which four of them dreamed of going to and their dreams where coming closer as they were traveling.
It was a sunny day during the summer holydays and the scorching heat melted Pema while he was driving. On his left side Ugyen was shouting not to disturb her while she was sleeping because Lungten and Bandana where disturbing her.
As they proceeded they came across a road going in two direction, one of the road was fully used and the other one was the road least taken. Pema was confused which road to take and asked Lungten,”Which road should we take?” And she nodded, “Both the road is taking us to our destination.” Pema liked adventure and he shouted with excitement, “Who wants to go for an adventure?” They all agreed to go through the road not taken.
The music was soft which was their favorite and they were enjoying the music and was singing along with it, “Your insecure, don’t know what for………………” as the music took them away. The scenario started changing and they were getting deeper into the woods and it started to get darker. The road was much bumpier and rough. The road took them to a small town with lots of small buildings with a big hall in the middle.
It was dark now, so they decided to halt the night in the old town. Pema pitched the tent near the RV and made a fire. They decided to explore the mysterious town which was not recorded in the map. One by one they explored the building and the hall was the last one to be explored.
Pema took Bandana's hand, there was no pulse. She was really dead. They were in front of the portrait and below the portrait Pema found out a strange book on the small podium nicely kept. Pema took it and flipped the page and read it. The first page of the book stated” Whoever tries to touch this book, one will be cursed to death and the one with the dead body will be cursed to suffer………” Pema was frozen and couldn't do anything and He was helpless but his instinct forced him to save them and told them to go to the RV.
Pema took the book and Bandana's body and when they reached to the RV the tent was completely torn off and the fire was dead. Quickly they went inside the RV and placed her body on the sofa near RV’s window. Pema quickly went to start the engine and they were moving towards home but didn't know what will come next. There sleep was taken over by the fear of death, and they couldn't sleep the whole night and they could see the sun rise in its loveliest manner as it always did.
Pema stopped to bury Bandana's body near a big tree which stood like a huge protector of nature. After burying her body they continued with their journey. There was a complete silence for a long time, none of them talked with each other……………Pema could see lungten and Ugyen crying over the dead of their beloved friend. They ate a light breakfast near a stream and the roads were very rough and bumpy than before. As Pema was driving he couldn’t believe his eyes, dead end. They came to a dead end but they could see the other side of the road. Ugyen looked at the map and cried, “There was suppose to be a bridge here…….how can we take our RV to the other side?” She started to cry and Lungten was also lost.
They decided to cross the river leaving back the RV. They were about to reach to the other side, when Lungtens foot slipped from a rock and got washed away by the river. Pema tried his best to save her and get her back but couldn’t save her. With a heavy heart two of them proceeded with their journey. On their way Ugyen shouted,”Pema, I can’t find the map…………” they paused……..”Oh my god! I remember putting it in Lungtens bag pack.”Ugyen cried.
The book was till with Pema. Two of them stopped for a break near a stream and Pema started to read the book again. When he was reading through the book he came across the paragraph that had a solution to their curse. It was stated” If the book is burned during the sunset the curse will be broken” The sun was about to set. Pema happily told Ugyen that he got to burn the book before sunset to free their self from the curse. Ugyen happily made the fire go and threw the book in the fire. As soon as he threw the book the fire burned as if it could light up the entire New York City. Pema was relieved that he could break the curse.
Relieved and happy that he could break the curse, two of them decided to spend the night under the blanket of the million twinkling star above. And they decided to go to sleep without dinner and decided to continue their journey the next day.
