The Higgledy-Piggledy Mystery

in #hive-17079811 days ago

“What's happening here? I will go mad if this continues. Just can't bear these anymore." Tarsa said this to her travelmate Simran, her face was filled with worry and she was completely clueless about what was happening to her.

Seeing her so panicked, Simran asked Tarsa about what had happened, and why she was trembling like this.

“In the kitchen, I made coffee for everyone, I prepared them all by myself, and no one was there to help or interfere. Everyone praised the coffee, it was perfect but when I sipped it, it was so salty that I couldn’t even digest any of it. ”

Simran thought to herself that it could be a prank on her, she actually mixed sugar with salt and the rest of the people didn’t admit it but let her drink and they didn’t drink either.

At night, Tarsa came again, with much more anger and frustration. Simran understood that something had happened so she locked her phone and asked, “Anything happened once again?”

“I want to leave right now, can't stay at this house anymore,” Tarsa said with the peak of her voice.

Simran stood down, closed the door hurriedly and tried to calm her down as the family members might feel bad about these words.

“I went for a shower charging my phone, came out and discovered it was unplugged, could be my mistake. Then again, I selected a matching white dress, left the top on the bed and returned from the washroom wearing matching jeans and discovered that the top disappeared and instead, there was an unmatched red dress. No way would I wear such a clothing combination. Surprisingly, that selected top disappeared from my room.”

“How can this be possible, who would steal your dress here? No, I think something is wrong or these can't happen like this, that too only with yourself, strange!” Simran got tensed as well. She also thought these could be just some made-ups from Tarsa as she didn’t want to come to visit here in the first place. Now making these excuses that don't make any sense so that she can go back to her city.

Actually, Simran and Tarsa came to a remote village, they had an on-field project to do some survey and for that reason, they had to come here. This is the house of another friend of theirs and they will be living with that family for a few days as their guest as long as their work isn't done.

“Do one thing, stay with me, if you need anything ask me and I will keep a watch so that nothing happens like this. Lemme help you as well on finding your dress.” Simran calmed Tarsa and thought of figuring out what the real issue was. She got a bit worried as well.

The next day they went out for their field work. When they returned, both of them were shocked as hell, they just looked at one another and were speechless for a moment.

Things were like this, in Simran's phone charging adapter Tarsa's charging cable was attached, in Tarsa's adapter there was Simran's cable. Inside Simran's bag, there were Tarsa's clothes and in Tarsa's bag, there were Simran's clothes found.

Even the shoe pairs were mixed like in a pair of shoes, one is Tarsa's and the other is from Simran. Even the socks got disorganised. They were silent for a few minutes and burst into laughter and wondered who the hell is so idle and mischievous to this level of prank or whatever you say. They got angry and eager to know what really happened here.

Called their friend and explained what really happened to them, all these messy stories.

Within a few minutes, there was a knock on the door, they were shocked for a moment even by the sudden knock as if they were living in a vacant house and no one was expected to come. They came back to reality and replied, “Come in.”

The family members entered their room as if they had done a crime, embarrassment was visible on their faces and were struggling really hard to start the conversation.

Simran and Tarsa are also shocked to see the members of the family all together, visiting their room and surely having something to talk about.

Breaking the ice Simran spoke, “Hello sister, I think you guys want to say something.” She said this with a smile on her face.

The sister finally spoke, “Hello Simran & Tarsa, we are sorry to learn the things you guys had to face, Rihan called us and shared everything.”

Pulling a 7-year-old kid from her back to the front, she said, “This is Rinan, our higgledy-piggledy!! She was behind all these mischiefs.” With an embarrassing smile on her face, and everyone else was making the same guilty smiley face.

It took a moment for Simran and Tarsa to digest and then they too burst into laughter and took that little mischief kid in their arms. It was then a joyous storytelling session altogether about all the higgledy-piggledy activities of that kid throughout the whole house all day long.

Sort:  

A very naughty and messy boy was the cause of the misunderstanding. It was a very entertaining and fun story to read, the touch of humor at the end closes the story very well.

Thanks for sharing your story.
Excellent day.

I thought it was ghosty ghosty lol but it was a mischievous kid instead. Haha

Glad to hear that as I wanted to create that feeling intentionally.
Thank you for stopping by.

Welcome!

Easy and quick to read story. I thought of something supernatural happening in the environment. But I kept reading until I found the mystery. Rinan was causing all that mess for no apparent reason.... Well done @minhajulmredol
