The Strange Gift

Jamie’s birthday was yesterday and on the occasion of his birthday his mother and his servant were making birthday decorations at his house. Then all of a sudden there was the sound of the telephone ringing at 9:30 pm. Jamie picks up the phone and asks, “Hello, who is it?”

“Hello son, I am your father. I have got a day off from the army and I am coming tomorrow with a special gift for you on your birthday.”

Jamie said happily, “Father, I will wait for you.”

It was morning and today was Jamie’s birthday. All the preparations for the birthday were done at home, now Jamie was waiting for his friend. It was 11:00 a.m. and no one had come yet. Jamie was not happy. Jamie calls his friend Rocky. He picked up the phone.

“Why haven’t you come to my party yet?”

“Jamie I’m stuck in traffic. It will take time to come.”

Jamie called to Hardy, “Jamie, I’ve lost my car keys, I’ll definitely come to your party.” Jamie called to John. John was also busy with some work. Jamie was very sad. Now the children of the neighbors and some people have come to Jamie’s house. Jamie explained to everyone that the party has not started yet. His friends have not come to his house yet. Jamie calls to Ben but Ben’s mother picks up the phone. Jamie asks where is Ben? Ben’s mother said he is sleeping.

Jaime said, “What? Today is my birthday and he is sleeping. He had promised to come for my birthday.” Ben's mom apologizes to Jamie and says that she is sending Ben. She picked up Ben from sleep and Ben went to Jamie’s house in his car. Ben suddenly remembered that he even forgot to buy a gift for jamie. Then a dog appeared in front of him and Ban hit the brakes immediately. Ben got out of the car and saw that the dog was not dead. The dog had survived being hit by the car and the dog was in perfect condition. Ben looked at the road. Ben saw that there were trees on the right and left side and there was forest on both sides. Then Ben suddenly saw a shining thing in the forest. Ben went towards that thing in the woods. When Ben came towards that thing, Ben saw that a box was lying on the ground which was very decorated and that box was covered with gold and silver foil around it. Ben picked up the box and realized it was a birthday gift that was too big. Ben thought that he would give this gift to Jamie and Jamie would be overjoyed. Ben thought of opening it but later he thought that he would damage the packing of that box so he did not open it. He thought it would be revealed at Jamie’s party to find out what was in it.

Ben came to Jamie’s house and Ben rang the house bell. Jamie was overjoyed to see Ben. Both went inside the house. Ben saw that hardy, John and Rocky had not come to the house yet.

Ben asked the reason for this. Jamie said, “Yeah, they haven’t all come yet but they will all come. They are busy now.” Then there was the sound of bell ringing at the door. Jamie opened the door and saw Rocky, hardy and John was standing. Jamie welcomed them and invited them in. There was the sound of bell ringing at the door. When Jamie opened the door, he saw a police officer standing in front of the door.

The police officer said to Jamie, “Did you see a unknown man here at night or did you let a unknown man into your house.” Jamie said, “No, we didn't see any stranger at night and no one came to our house at night.” The police officer said, “Okay.” Jamie asked, “But what happened?” The police officer told him, “A mad killer has escaped from the strong prison. Some people were saying that he had passed here at night.”

The police officer left from there. Jamie came inside the house. Everyone was asking Jamie to start the party but Jamie did not want to start the party because his father had not come to the party yet. Jamie’s mother explained to Jamie that his father might not be able to come due to some work. There is a lot of work in the army. Jamie agreed to his mother and then the party started. Everyone started enjoying the party with great pomp at home. The party ended and at last Jamie started looking at everyone’s gifts. When Jamie opened Rocky’s gift, he saw that there was a toy car in it. Jamie opened Hardy’s gift and saw that there was a video game in it. When Jamie opened John’s gift, see that there was a CD of a film in it. Jamie looks at the neighbors’ gifts one by one and thanks them all. In the end, Ben’s gift was left, which looked very good, which looked the most special. When Jamie opened Ben’s gift, something happened which was very scary. Something like that if someone sees his senses fly away. Something like that when Jamie opened Ben’s gift, Jamie fainted and the neighbors’ eyes were wide open. When Jamie opened Ben’s gift, it contained the severed head of Jamie’s father and the blood of Jamie’s father.

Seeing this, Jamie fainted. Jamie’s mom sat down weak and crying and said, “Ben why did you do that?” Rocky said, “What have you done Ben?” Hardy said, “Aren't you ashamed, Ben?” Ben said in a frightened and sad condition, “I didn't do all this. It's not my gift.” The call was made to the police and the police came there. Jamie’s mother told the whole thing to the police and Jamie was taken to the hospital in an unconscious habit. Everyone was waiting for Jamie to regain consciousness. The doctor came and said, “Jamie has regained consciousness, but he is not saying anything.” Jamie's mom asked, “But why?” The doctor said, “Jamie has forgotten to speak. His wits have damaged. Now he can't speak. He is shocked to see his father beheaded.” When the police saw the gift box, there was a card in it, which read Happy Birthday Jamie. Ben told the police everything, where did he get that gift and what had happened. The police searched the forest but the police did not find any evidence.

All the blame was going to Ben. Ben got upset and finally committed suicide.
