"It was sunny morning but suddenly it started to rain.... " Now complete the story in 150-200 words

It was a sunny morning but suddenly it started to rain. Karthik could not have imagined that such a clear bright sunny morning would metamorphose into an evening that seemed to pour from the skies. Karthik was alone at home. The sound of thunder frightened him. Karthik locked all the doors and windows in his house, moved to the living room and sat down to keep a vigil until his parents returned. He had had a slight fever which had made him excuse himself from going with his parents to a family friend's wedding. He had thought that he would sleep until his parents returned. But that was not to be. The weather quite suddenly took a turn and it began to rain, first a drizzle and then a downpour, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Karthik woke up to the window panes banging against each other and since then, he had been moving from room to room, bolting windows and balcony doors. It was when he sat down in the living room to breathe a sigh of relief that he noticed the main door was open. A shiver ran down his spine, he gulped and realized his throat was dry. He could neither move nor let the door remain open. Rain was flooding into the room. He mustered courage and decided to close it. Then it occurred to him that what if someone had come in and it was not just the rain and storm which had pushed it open. He would be stuck with that person or whatever it was in a completely locked up house with no route for escape. His heart began to beat wildly. He felt faint with fright and was about to pass out when a familiar voice called out. His mother. "Karthik, where are you?" She was calling from his room. She must have come in when he was closing the windows in the other rooms. Karthik passed out at that very minute out of relief.
