Garry - Till how long will you keep it hidden son. One day you will have to tell the truth.
Oliver - Don't worry dad, no one will ever come to know about this.
Garry - What would you do when the new tenants start suspecting?
Oliver - I would do the same as I did with the others?.
(Meanwhile)
Victor - I think the house is nice. We are extremely fortunate to get the house so cheap. What do you think Alice?
Alice - The house is good but don't you think something is wrong. Why would someone want to sell a luxurious house so cheap?
Victor- Well Oliver said that he is settling in Australia and he doesn't require the house anymore. We should not miss this golden opportunity. I will meet Oliver and pay the money in full so that we can move in next Monday.
( Victor meets Oliver and pays the money)
Oliver - It was a pleasure doing business with you Victor . Here are the keys. However I must tell you something. Please never open the room towards the end of the basement. It is a little promise.
Victor - Why sir ? What is there in the room ?
Oliver- er .. well nothing much but that room holds a lot of memory .
Victor - Okay fine . I promise we won’t open the door. We will move in next Monday and I will inform Alice about this.
(A few months after moving in ...)
Alice - The furnitures keep multiplying . I think we should store some of them in the basement.
Victor- Don't open the room towards the end of the basement . Oliver said that the room held a lot of old memories.
Alice - Well we bought the house right ? The kitchen ceiling crumbled in just two days after moving in and we had to change the lightbulbs of each and every room cause they were malfunctioning. Oliver just ignored our problems and never visited us or even answered a call. Why should we listen to his promises ?
Victor - hmm do what you wish to but don't drag me when some problem arises.
(Both Victor and Alice open the door of the room. The room is completely dark and is filled with a strange smell and atmosphere.)
Victor - I think we should leave.
Alice opens the flashlight of her phone and she sees a big wooden
casket at the corner of the room. Without resisting her urge , she tries to open the casket when suddenly an alarm starts ringing. Both Victor and Alice get scared and starts leaving the room. Suddenly the door closes and gets locket from the outside…
Victor - What is happening ? Why is the door not opening ? There is no mobile connection available here , how will we ever escape this cursed room.
Alice - There is something wrong with the room. I think the casket holds the answer to our questions.
She opens the casket with the help of Victor and gives a loud scream. Four dead bodies of a little boy, a woman ( possibly the mother of the boy) and two men are submerged beneath formaldehyde ( a chemical which preserves dead bodies) .
Alice - We are doomed. We should call the police .
Victor ( almost fainting) - How will we ? The mobile connection is gone! This stupid alarm is screaming nonstop! The door is locked from outside ! There is no light and we are stuck with four dead bodies.
Alice - Do you think Mr. Oliver killed them and tried to hide the bodies and he wanted to flee as soon as possible ?
(Meanwhile)
Oliver - Dad, the time has come! The alarm is ringing . I need to finish my job.
Garry - (sighs) One mistake and one promise ruined so many lives….
Both Victor and Alice start hearing footsteps behind the door.
Victor - Who is there ? How did you enter the house? Please help us . We are trapped in this room.
Oliver - I tried to warn you my little friend. Look where your little stunt has led to. You want to know the story right ? Well, I will tell you
Alice - Please let us go! We will never tell a soul. We promise.
Oliver (laughing) - I want to believe you but the problem is that you have already broken a simple promise. But don’t worry I never keep the audience waiting. I will tell you the whole story before finishing the job.
It all started last year . The woman in the casket is .. um .. was my wife and the boy was my kid. We were a happy family. One day during an argument , I accidentally pushed my son off the railing and killed him. My wife saw this and tried to report it to the police, so obviously I had to kill her too. I had to hide the body to avoid suspicions.
Victor - Who are the other two men ?
Oliver - They were the previous tenants who tried to act smart and break my little promise.
Victor started crying and Alice was already unconscious. Oliver opened the door , shot both of them and dipped them into formaldehyde .
Oliver ( calling his Dad) - Dad the job is done but we need to buy some more formaldehyde and we should start looking for new tenants.
( A few months later)…..
Oliver - Okay Greg here are the keys to your new house but you need to keep a little promise for me….
