The mystery of window next door

 


The mystery of window next door


It was a cold morning on cozy Bridgestone Street in early spring of 1936 when Mr Frank peeked a glimpse of a lady outside through a tiny, rough window of his house. The curtains were floating against the window that was blowing from the west,sweeping the fresh leaves under the silver oak tree away from the street. The early morning song of a mockingbird, on the top of the streetlight, was whistling through the window.
"Look like,these feathers need a new home",he murmured to himself when rusty brick leaves were crawling all over his apartment.
Mr frank was reading a book and preparing morning coffee for himself when he decided to get up and shut the window.He approached near the window and as  he was trying to hold  curtains back inside the room that were fluttering outside of the window,he saw a young radiant lady as fresh as daisy outside on the street. From that day on,he never felt the same again.

Mr. Frank was a 50 year-old businessman with a charming face and whitish hair above his ears. He is a smart guy, though  he is not as smart as he thinks. He pretends to be so around the room and people often believe what he presents. The next morning, he sat down to write a poem about her. He started from scratch. After a couple of hours of leaving hundreds of papers on the floor nearby in a dustbin basket,he first tried to describe about his feelings ,how he felt that vary morning but he thought it would be an injustice to her flawless beauty, which should be adored and admired from the very beginning,so he began with her oozing beauty. He lit his cigar and wrote a very first sentence.


March 19,1936

Seven days after that morning, Mr. Frank was found dead on his rolling armchair with a piece of paper on his hand.
The same evening, detective Neville arrives at Bridgestone train station with his dog brood.

  दशैँ र सिलीगुड़ीको हावा             भाग-१ पश्चिममा घाम सल्कनु अघिनै हर्कमानको घर पछाडीको डिबिया  भित्र सानो उजेली परैबाट उज्जर थियो।गोठभित्र खनिएको ठाँउबाट दुईवटा खाबा गाडेर अगाडिको शिर पट्टि ढेड फुट जति वर मुस्ली जोडिएको थियो भने पछाडी सम्म परेको भागमा उभिएर दुईजना स्वास्नी मान्छे खुट्टाले भसाएर ढिकी उचाल्दै पर्छादै थिए।भरखर भरखर धान फुटेका चिउराको आलो राग हर्कमानको घर अगाडि बाटा भरि रत्तिएको थियो।घरको पिढी देखि लिएर भित्ताका भाटाहरू सबै गोबरले लेप लगाएको थियो।सकभर आज सबैकाका घर रतुवा मटकिलोले फर्माएको छ।त्यतिनै बेला पर खेतका आली हुँदै सेता मलिन परेको गन्जी ,पसिनाले टपक्कै जिउमा टासिएको,बाहिर कालो रंगको सर्ट,सर्टका टाँक जति जम्मै खुल्ला भएर सर्टका भाग उत्तर र दक्षिण हावामा नासिरहेको मान्छे घामको मलिन चहकमा उसै हर्कमानको घर तर्फ आइरहेको थियो।तल भुँइमा सोरौला झैँ गरेर फुकेर ठुला ठुला हावा भरिएका जिन्सका पाइन्ट, पाइन्टमाथि कसिएका काला छालाका  कम्मर पेटी अडिएको थियो। छालाको गुण  भने कालान्तरले उखलेर छरप्रष्ट थियो।बडेमानको वक्ष छाती ल...
