Armando's POV
"Let's go! hurry up Armando, this is it. After we get everything from this house we will be rich and we will buy anything we want!" those are the words I heard while I was looking in a huge house which is in front of me. It's from Anton.
"Arman let's go, what's the problem? " someone tapped me on my shoulder and as I turn my head I saw Diego. Diego is my friend, he is the one who told me about this I where I can get a lot of money.
I sighed.
" I don't know, it's just that... I think I can't do this" I said as I bowed my head. For the second time, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Diego.
"Remember, you're doing this for your son, and for your family," I look at him. Yeah, I am doing this for my family, especially for my son. It's his birthday and I promised him that I will give him a fancy and grand birthday, though he refused it.
"O-okay" I answered. I looked at the mansion for the second time. And I felt something strange as I was looking on every windows. We will rob this house and get everything we want. We're not robbers or bad persons. It's just that we don't have any choice anymore. The construction site that we were working fired us for no acceptable reason.
We were so hopeless for almost a month on finding a job. There's no luck on us, no job came. No company nor employer accepted us. I was so devastated about losing my job. My wife and my son doesn't know about it. I just don't want them to worry.
After 2 months of searching a job, we gave up. And last night was the night Diego told us about this mansion. A mansion where an old man, an old writer was living. Diego told us that this old man was living alone in the huge house. He told us that inside the mansion a lot of expensive and luxurious things were displayed.
At first I was confused. I can't get the idea Diego giving us. Later then, he cleared everything and told us that our family is already starving and we need to find a money at all cost and any ways. He said that if we want an immediate source of money we have to sacrifice something. And that is our names.
After a lot of indirect explanations of Diego. He finally told us that we will rob the mansion of the old writer. I was shocked. I was speechless for almost a minute, but then Diego made us understand why we have to do it. He said that, if we won't do it our family will die because of hunger.
I am not this kind of person. I always help. I always pray and respect others, and I can't believe that I am doing this.
"Arman are you coming or not?" I regained my consciousness after I heard the voice of Anton. Anton was also my friend, but not as close as Diego. He also agreed on Diego's idea which is robbing the mansion.
"I'm coming," I answered and followed the both of them. As we reached the tall walls of the mansion Anton prepared the ropes that wee will use to climb and to get inside the huge house.
"Just think of your son and your wife, after this we will forget everything and start a new life," I sighed. Diego was right i just have to do it and after this i will forget this and start again.
"O-okay.." I said.
Anton was done preparing and tying the ropes when me and Diego finished talking. "Let's go.." seriousness was vivid on the voice of Anton. Anton is just like us. He is also doing this for his mother who is ill.
Anton climbed first, then Diego followed him. For the last time I looked at the walls and the mansion. I just have this strange feeling about this house. I don't don't know what it is But i will just set it aside.
"Arman!" I was taken a back by Diego. I started climbing the wall. The wall is too high and it is covered with green small plants or leaves. I don't know what kind of plants these are but in just continued climbing.
" We're almost there," I heard Anton. i looked up and saw that we are almost on the top. After a Few more steps, we reached the top and jumped inside the house.
"We're here, just keep silent and be careful," Diego said. we just nod our head.
We started walking and I stopped when I was already in front of the house. The house is covered with vines and leaves. It's really big but when you look at it, it looks strange. The windows were full of dust, the doors were made of woods.
A lot of plants and trees were inside the house and it looks magical as fireflies were around it. I looked up and realized how high this mansion was. There's a lot of windows and there's three terraces which was also covered with huge vines. Butterflies and different sparkling insects were flying around it.
We entered the house through the window on the left side of the mansion. When we're already inside we were awed by things in front of us.
Statues made of marbles, sculptures made of sparkling woods, gems inside a box of crystals and gold objects.
"This is unbelievable," Diego said while his eyes were pasted on those shiny expensive objects. I looked at Anton and he just calm like you can't even trace any emotions on his face.
"Let's hurry , it's getting late..," Anton said. We Continued roaming the house. Diego went to the left and Anton went to the right.
I walked straight and was awed by the second time as a huge and grand stair was in front of me. The stair was made of silver and gold. It is covered with red carpet on every steps. I continued walking up through the stairs and as I reached the top I saw a lot of doors, but the only door that caught my eyes was the door on the last part of the ally. The door is sparkling because of it's color which is gold.
I walked and I walked till I reached the golden door. I slowly open it and can't believe of what I am seeing. different kinds of gem and gold bars. i entered the room and roam my eyes around it, but a thing caught my eyes.
"An old book?" I said as I saw an old in the center of the room. It made me think that how come an old book was with these precious and expensive things. Because of curiosity i walked straight to the book.
"The cover is blank, and it really looks old," I said as I scanned the book. I grabbed the book and was about to open it when I heard a scream.
