The Hidden Soul

Chapter - 3

Carolin's POV :

I wanted to get successful and prove myself.

I was feeling anxious while thinking about my career. It was a weird feeling and was not going out of my mind at all.

It was 6.00 p. m. I was bored at home. I was not only bored but also a bit disappointed.

It was because, I was unable to find the exact mirror that I wanted and also I was not yet informed about the result of the audition that I had given in the morning.

I was feeling Isolated at home. So, I decided to go out for a walk. It was a new area for us as we had shifted there recently. I was unaware of most of the paths over there.

So, I wanted to roam around and know about the place well. After all we were about to stay there forever. I also wanted to go out and feel fresh. Though I was feeling a little lazy I made my mind to go out.

I wore my new tracksuit and tied my hair up to a ponytail.

"Mom, I'm going out for a walk.", I said to my mother while wearing shoes.

My mother turned off the gas stove and came to me saying, "From when did you start this habit? You never went for a walk before."

"Yes, I never went for a walk before but today I am feeling to go for a walk. So am I allowed to go for a walk? ", I asked being displeased.

"Of course you can. You have already worn your shoes. If I deny from going will it stop you from going for a walk? I am sure no. So please go ahead. ", said my mother and went to the kitchen.

I did not care about the way she spoke to me because it was a habit for me.

As I already informed her I was relieved and left the house. I was wearing my favourite pink shoes.

I was all set for a walk.

I started roaming around the road.

The area was beautiful. I was impressed by that area and the suroundings of the house. The trees were beautiful. I was experienceing a cool breeze as I was walking which made me feel more fresh. The weather was perfect it was neither Sunny nor rainy.

The area was very calm and beautiful.

As I was walking I was filled with many thoughts on my mind. It was specially about my career and the mirror.

I was unaware why I badly wanted to get that kind of mirror which was very hard to find.

With all the thoughts as I was walking I found there was another path which I had never been to. I thought of entering that path and exploring there too. So, I entered there. As I was walking there I could see that there were many shops all around. It was kind of a shopping Street for everyone. There were all the basic requirements and also many others things available. It was interesting. I was carefully looking at everything and walking there.

As I almost reached the end of the road I saw there was another turn. I took a turn there and went forward. There I could see that there was a lonely shop where there were no customers.

I thought of heading back as there was nothing much to look at. But before I could turn I saw that it was second hand shop. And my eyes went inside the shop and I noticed a mirror over there. As I noticed that mirror I instead of going back I went closer to the shop.

I walked closer and closer to the shop and stood right in front of the entrance of the shop.

It was a very old shop. I could see no people in there but there were many furnitures which were quite old.

It was a shop where they sold items which was already used. Those were second hand items. But inspite of all those things my eyes were completely attracted towards the mirror which was kept in the corner of that shop.

It was very attractive to me.

The speciality was it was almost the same kind of mirror that I always wanted to have. It was that mirror which I always wanted to have but was unable to find it.

Even though I knew that it was a second hand shop I wanted that mirror very badly.

I got a special kind of attraction towards it and I was feeling the mirror was pulling me towards it.

It was not a exact design but it was very beautiful and attractive.

I felt my hunt had come to an end and I successfully found the mirror.

I decided to enquire about the mirror as I wished to buy it.

I did not find anyone there. The place looked empty. There were no customers too.

But I had to enqire about the mirror so I stood there for a few minutes. But I did not see anyone coming to attend so I decided to call them out.

"Excuse me? is anyone here? ", I called the people of the shop so that I could ask them about the mirror which was kept in the corner of their shop.

A very old man slowly came out and started staring at me.

"Is this your shop?", I asked.

"Yes", he replied.

"Can I take a look at the mirror that's kept over there, at the corner? ", I asked him.

"What do you want?", he asked while being confused. While looking at his expression I realised that he was unable to hear me clearly. I once again loudly repeated the same sentence to him while pointing my finger towards the mirror. Then finally he could hear me. "Yes, yes come with me.", he said and walked inside the shop. I followed him.

He stood in front of that mirror, pointed his finger towards that and then said with a slow voice "Do You want to see this mirror?"
