Twas past six in the morning when I wake after that scary night I have, last night. I'm feeling so tired and weary after that fight in my dream. But I felt good that, twas just a scary dream.Well, I need to hurry up before I'll get late for work. I'll take shower, get dress and have breakfast."hmmm...I can smell the ham and egg I just cooked and yes, the aroma of the coffee is filling up the air and so inviting for a hearty breakfast now."
Everyone were so quiet and turned their heads when I passed by and looking at me in great awe in my midnight blue color over coat and skirt, with blue dots scarf around my neck covering the deep v-neckline white sleeves blouse I wear. I matched it with blue stiletto shoes. And it seems like, I'm floating softly on top of the cotton like clouds, feeling fresh and beautiful that morning. I smiled to everyone I met as they greeted,"Good morning, Mam."
Time was so fast that it's almost lunch time when I looked on my watched. I need to attend a lunch meeting with some big bosses of other companies. At 2:00 pm I need to hurry back to the office for an executive meeting for a new project to be lunched. The whole afternoon was very hectic and tiresome for me. Attending three meetings in a row with different topics and after 5:00 pm, I'll be meeting my lawyer for the annulment case I filed. Twas mind boggling day really, it made me dead tired going back home.
Twas exactly 7:30 in the evening when I arrived home. Seems that, everywhere were just so quiet, I called my daughter, but nobody answered. I searched in the kitchen, bedroom
maid's room and anywhere, but no one was really at home. "Where could these people here be gone?" I was talking to myself. I made myself a sandwich and orange juice, after knowing that nobody was home but me. I tried to lay down on my couch to make myself comfortable. I watch an old movie in my collections of dvds while I was waiting for the kids and the nanny to come home. The movie seems scary as it's all about an old house believed to be haunted by a white lady or a ghost.
It's almost midnight when I have an eerie feelings. I feel a cold wind blowin' behind my ears, and I can sense that two eyes staring at me sternly. Suddenly, I heard a big thud in the front door, I presumed the kids must have arrived. But few minutes after, there was a total silence again but no one came in. So I thought, it must be a strong wind that blown the door hard."But, wait... I was sure that I locked the door when I came in, and there's no way that the wind can slammed the door because its closed?"I was asking myself then. My heart started to beat fast... faster as the engine of the car running 120 km/hr or whatever! Then suddenly there was the total darkness as all the lights in the community went off. "Oh my God, the kids aren't home yet!" I tried to look for the penlight in my bag and lighted a candle in the kitchen so I'll not stumble anything in the dark." What's going on here?" I was asking myself again when suddenly I heard another crashed near the kitchen door. I was getting upset now, this time I'm more of getting nervous and my heart was pumping fast, so fast.
I tried to investigate, but there's no one here. The rain started to fall. I see the shadow came nearer the gate. I can't figure out if he is a man or she is a woman, wearing a black raincoat and knee high black plastic boots with a big black umbrella covering the face."What is that shadow doing here at this hour?"I looked at my watch, its past midnight but the kids were still not home. "Oh my God, does anyone knew what's going on?"I was trying to comfort myself that maybe some neighbors were still awake!Aaah maybe... yes, maybe... in few minutes it will be back to normal again." I was telling myself every now and then.
After few minutes I heard another weird sound at the back door in the kitchen. As I tried to peeped at the window pane, I saw the shadow outside, coming from the kitchen and was in a hurry folding the umbrella and walk fast. But I couldn't see the face, because it's still dark. My heart beats faster again... and again... its pumping too much because this time...I am already scared, like I never been scared before. "Does the shadow knew I am alone now?" I kept asking myself."What he/she wants from me? Oh God...I want to scream but if I'll do, will anyone hear me? And, if I scream its either they will hear me or I'll die." What if the shadow will be mad and shoot me, that I screamed?" And now again... the sound came nearer... like the sound of the beating of the drum that goes faster with the beating of my scary heart!"I keep telling myself.
