          It was a nice warm weather. The city of mirror was glowing according to its name. The city holds numerous houses and apartments but one house stood out of the line. It was well built with selected bricks and antique works.

          The living space was as vast as ocean. One can build as many tents in there. The curtains are hand loomed. The sofa is made of velvet cloth material and the decors are finely placed.

          The rooms are spacious and huge. They are neatly cleaned and dusted. The whole place was so fancy that only the richest can afford. It had a lot of rooms to accommodate gusts. The house is located at the center of the garden like an island.


         But where is Crystal? Crystal is 28 year old business women who own this house with her dearly husband Kevin. “oh, oh, oh, dusty!”, actually, Crystal is a bit hygiene alert alarm. She never even allows any maid inside her house in the name of cleaning. She does it all by herself. She used to clean the house once in every three days besides her hefty works.

          She started cleaning garden and almost finished cleaning the rooms and the only place left is the attic. Attic is a place that is been cleaned once in every month. She doesn’t care about it so much because it is well closed and there is no chance for the dust to enter.

          Kevin left home early today because he had some important meeting. Crystal was organizing the boxes at the attic and looking after some of their old painting which had to be thrown last month. Kevin loves those paintings that he never allowed Crystal to throw it out.


         Crystal was over bothered by those painting because it is occupying most of the attic and mainly she can’t stand trash. She gave a icy look at those paintings and decided to throw it away without Kevin’s knowledge.

         Kevin won’t bother attic and he insisted to keep the paintings just because its worth of cost and it is an antique collection. “He is never going to know a single thing about attic, maybe I can remove this from here”, she says to herself.

        Simply throwing it doesn’t reward anything to them. She thought about it and decided to sell it in pawn shop. She carefully lifted one of those paintings and was about to move down but unfortunately the painting dashed a little on the wall and the frame was cracked.


          Crystal was a bit upset but suddenly she found something behind the frame. A piece of paper was been stuck to the frame. She picked it and took a look. “Seems like a map”, she whispered. It looked like a treasure map to her.

           Basically she was a practical business woman so she used her technical mind and cracked the map. She found the place where the treasure is located. She quickly ran, packed some stuffs and got ready to move. She wanted to surprise Kevin so she didn’t leave a breath to him. She just texted him that she was having a sudden meeting and will be late home.


          She quickly looked for plane tickets. She got a ticket to Alaska. She imagined herself digging up the ground and finding a huge box of gold and diamonds. She was flying through the clouds thinking it will be a great feast. She ran here and there with joy don’t know what to do herself.

          She booked the fastest plane and arrived to the airport already. She was rushing at great speed as if someone was going to capture the treasure before she does. It was almost twelve hour journey from her place and she definitely needed some rest. But she was too excited to sleep or even have a short nap.

          As soon as she arrived she got a cab and went around the river to find the location. She had dropped herself a stop before where she suppose to drop actually, thinking the cab driver would get a hint about that treasure. She walked a mile smiling and hoping as if she was a kid returning from ice cream shop.


           Finally she came to the spot where she had to come. She followed the map and reached a place behind a huge rock. But she seems to droop because it was a mountain cleft. She was so confused. She exactly followed the map but she found no treasure.

           She was a bit disappointment but she decided to enjoy the scenery since she came all the way here. Sitting at the edge of the cleft she thought about her dreams of having the treasure. A lot of thoughts wavered in her mind.


           She enjoyed the sun set and got up to return home. It was already 1:23 am the next morning when she arrived. Kevin was worried about her and was waiting for her in the living area. She came home tired and told Kevin what had happened.

           Kevin laughed for a while and explained her it was a map of a nearby amusement park he went with his friends last month and he had misplaced it when was having a look at those picture.

           Crystal was a bit upset but she had a great time observing the nature. She quietly threw her luggage and went to bed.

          Although it was tiring she learned to think before acting…. A trip to nowhere continues
