Ajay was a caring and loving husband, and his wife Stella was also faithful to her husband. They both were married for five years, and were living a happy life together. Their biggest dream was to build their own home, a house which they ever dreamed off. He was working as a production manager, and his wife was working as a school teacher. They worked hard and saved enough money to build a house after three years of their marriage, along with their two kids Kath and Adam. They shifted in their new house, from a house for which they were paying rent for a long time. Furthermore, they were happy to get rid of frustration of paying plenty of rent, who wouldn't?
One day Stella took a leave from her job and decided to plan her husband's birthday. She went to the market, and brought all the things which were needed to decorate the house. She also ordered a cake with the photograph of her husband on it. On his return he was surprised to see the decorations his wife made for him. They happily caught a cake, and decided to have some outing with their kids. They bought some food from market and went to the park, where they enjoyed a lot and returned home.
In the night, Stella said to her husband,
"Ajay, I am so lucky to have you in my life....I love you, and want to spend my whole life with you happily." Ajay also expressed same kind of love for his wife. In short, they were living a peaceful life together.
One night, they were sleeping quietly and there was a calmness of the night around, as no one has expected the sudden turmoil which was going to happen. Suddenly she heard a scream and it was not only one but it seemed the huge crowd was in danger. She also heard the announcements in the town which was as loud that she can clearly hear everything. It was about the massive security danger because of the land burning. There was a huge explosion in the nearby town, but now the fire was spreading rapidly in the surroundings. Although they were some far, but the fire was spreading massively. So authorities were alerting the people with danger they were going to face.
She ran to awake her husband, and children who were already awoken because of the sudden turmoil. Children were crying, and unable to understand the whole situation. She tried to calm down but all in vain because they were extremely sacred. Again the authorities announced that they are in extreme danger because the fire can explode anytime here, so they have to vacate the area. They asked everyone to be ready because soon the aid will arrive to save the people.
Ajay asked Stella, to be ready and take one or two important things with you as money, and some important documents. She was crying badly because she can feel the pain in her husband eyes, because it was not easy to leave the house for which they work hard, and the house which was the center to millions of hopes. She was in pain, and said her husband with sad eyes,
Ajay... My home...!
Ajay:(tears were in his eyes)Our life is precious than this house..the house would be rebuilt..!
Stella: But I can't leave my house, I ever dreamed to live with you in this house but now our all dreams are going to shatter...
Suddenly they heard an army's announcement that all the occupants come out because aid is arrived to save their lives, come out before it's too late. The husband took his wife and children by the hand and persuaded them to leave. They left the house crying...with eyesย on their beautiful house they had built, which would soon be reduced to ashes.

This story is based on my imagination, which I wrote after watching the video on YouTube in which family was leaving their house because of unemployment in the city. They decided to move to another city because it was impossible for them to fulfill their basic needs being here, but they were sad at the same time, to leave the house where they spent so many years.
I hope you enjoyed reading.

A short and beautiful story. Never in our lives can we trust the valuables or goods we have. Our greatest treasure is our health. We can build happy homes, starting from scratch, where our lives continue.
