His Unknown Mystery

As the lights flickered and the shadows that grew Footsteps I could hear in the dark haunted hill house, I paused for a moment and asked "Who are you? " I looked around but none answered, surrounded by the strange silence, I asked again, "Who are you? " A sudden chill that ran through my nerve as my eyes widen, getting drawn to that burnt face in the black drape, I screamed, "Go away !! Go away !! " And started moving back faster "I haven't done anything to you and neither have I harmed you, please leave me alone ..." "No ..., You've tortured me till my death, physically and mentally, cheated on me many times and yet I haven't said anything to you not uttered anything to you.I waited long to take my revenge and today's my turn to take the revenge " " No ...No...No...You've misunderstood me, I haven't harmed you, to this extent, I don't even know you " I ran as fast I could from the backside shortcut of the hill house through a small forest towards the mountains which was fencing the hill house. The shadow haunted me till the end of the small forest within the compound wall of the haunting hill house. I jumped off the compound wall and continued running deep into the forest until I was stopped by an old man who was grey-eyed "Hold it !! Where are you running? " He asked "I'm running to save my life, that house is haunted and I can't even stay here, so many weird and creepy things happen here, Run !! " " I very well know that the house is haunted but now you need to know something about this house and something's about your past " "My past ?? ", I was shocked "How I'm supposed to be connected with this house and what's my connection with this house that only you're aware of and I'm not ?? , And how is my past supposed to be connected with this house ?? " Looking towards the haunting hill house from a distance, the old man said, " That house has a long history, A regretful past, That story which was not heard by many..but people ain't aware of what exactly happened behind those four walls " "Then, how do they say that this house is haunted without even knowing exactly what went wrong and who were those people? Who are they? What happened, I need to know! " "Then you need to stop questioning " "I'll..." We started walking in the forest where the old man resided, he sees to be knowing the whole history of the haunting hill house, the people, the events...etc from the way he spoke initially in a very confident manner I was sure that I'll get a few clues about the haunting hill house, but what happened was not as I had expected when we reach the old man's house HE TURNED OUT TO BE ONE OF THOSE BEST ARTISTS IN THE PAST !! "Seriously, !! You've painted these masterpieces?? ", I asked Seeing the paintings hung on both sides I said: "Wow !!, They're simply stunning !!" "These are just a few to be named, Come along I've got to show you some more !! " We went upstairs to a private room where there were a lot of paintings being made of different themes, I was amazed after seeing these masterpieces, every painting had different meaning and emotion behind it Colorfully filled canvas, except for one which was covered with a sheet of cloth,"why is that canvas filled with a sheet of cloth, Is it incomplete?? ", I asked "No, it's not incomplete...But ..." "But, what ??.." The man removed the cloth slowly and what we saw was completely different. The painting was of a beautiful lady in red sitting on a chaise lounge with her lover beside her "Wow !!, What a lovely couple are they? ", I said A tear rolled down the old man's eye as he said "But that was ...." The old painter's lips started shivering as he couldn't speak a word ahead "That was what ??...., I said. I see the color of painting combining up by itself into a very awkward expression of a person, on a moment or two the man was suddenly pushed to the end of the room by a person that came out from the painting... loudly it roared at us as it came out of painting, I started moving backward and ran trying to save the old man but the minute it looked into my eye ..it calmed down and everything became normal within few seconds "Alas ..!! ...He disappeared..." "Are you alright sir? , You were being pushed too hard by him " "Yes, I'm alright..I'm fine .." "Who was he? , And why did he attach you so harshly but the minute he saw me he just calmed down and moved away ..what's the connection between every one of us? " Seeing the anxiety-filled in my eyes, the man said: " He's the connection to your past !!"
