Digging up the area near the tree at the corner, Jackline lifted up that metal box about which Adela was talking of.
"You need to open this lock." Adela spoke as she took out a key from the pendant she was wearing around her neck.
Looking at that odd key which barely looked like a key, Jackline looked at her aunt and reported her gaze back at the object. Aunt Adela went down on her knees and tried to open the Rusted lock.
" It has been so many years since I opened this lock. It seemed that it was jammed."
Adela muttered under her breath while she was trying hard to open that lock.
"Should I try?" Jackline took the key from her aunt and tried to open it herself. Shifting the key from right to left and then from left to right after a few minutes of trying hard finally the lock got unlocked.
She placed the lock on the ground and fastened the box.
