The Secret Room

The room was dark, and Kevin shivered as soon as he stepped inside it. Strangely, there was no bad odor in the room and there was no dump either. It was a very small room and the walls of the room were covered with pictures. And the pictures were of a baby. 

Mystery

But who was the baby in all the pictures? Ruth had no children. And why was this room hidden that way? Was this room the reason why Ruth had become what she was like, now? Kevin had so many questions but he was scared to ask Ruth about anything. 

Frightened

Kevin had no other option but to go outside the house because Ruth was waiting for him in her car. He took the picture of her parents and went outside. After handing over the picture to Ruth, Kevin saw Ruth give the brightest of smiles but he was scared of her now. What if she had some dark secrets which she was hiding about? 

Unsure

At first, Kevin and his wife had decided that they would help Ruth out in repairing her house. They wanted to clean it so that the old lady would have her house back. But the house was in such a bad state that Kevin now knew that he could not do it alone. And secondly, he was scared now. 

Uncertainty

After Kevin saw the room, he was not sure if Ruth was even the right person. He felt like he did not know her at all and all that she ever told him was a lie. Suddenly, he could not trust the lady. But he knew he would have to do something for his own mental peace. 

Confronted

Ruth had noticed that after Kevin went inside her house and brought the picture for her, he had become distant. She could see that he ignored her whenever he could and hardly shared a word with her anymore. And then one morning she saw him come to her anxiously.
