from previous

....it was the last  week of July   heatwave  on its superlative  climax,  without  air conditioning  life was completely impossible,  be had just finished his task and got up from the computer  that his attention was  drawn to  some sudden dropping sound  outside,  he walked towards the front door  to open it and  take  a peek outside,  he went a but further  to check the side lane  that lead to the  back lawn,  there was  a  stairway going upstairs  in the middle  of whose door was  wide open,  he  took a few more steps forward,  he  could smell a most  intoxicating sandalwood  scent , he slowly began walking forward,  that peculiar scent  was  coming out through that open door,  curiosity  made him  look  carefully inside,  spiral stairway  was going upstairs and the  scent  was carried downstairs from upstairs  on the  flowing airwaves 
He  put his foot slowly forward in the direction,  the sandalwood scent sharpened,  he kept on moving forward,  at the end of the spiral stairs the door was  open  , he could see clearly the scene inside the room,  from the door he could see  nobody there,  he walked towards the center of the room  though it was  strictly wrong  but  his curiosity got over him 
The upstairs rooms were exactly positioned as the downstairs rooms he occupied with his family but here the wall to wall red carpet was  spread  on the floor,  the  most expensive sofas were arranged   in a neat style,  there was  a long center table placed in the  center with showpiece  decorated on it,  the windows that opened in the courtyard were  heavily curtained,  the whole  area smelled of sandalwood,  he  stood there in surprise,  the kitchen door was shut,  all the  rooms on the right side and left side were also shut
