I was in my room when I heard the noise of children playing from the outside. Along with the noise was a familiar voice that was calling my name. The voice made my spine chilling.
I chose to ignore it since I was busy with my task. But the voice kept hailing my name again and again as it needs something from me.
"Blaire,"
"Blaire,"
Out of confusion, I went outside to see who it was, but no one was there, neither a silhouette of a man nor children outside was nowhere to be found.
That's where I started to felt terror. I immediately went to our Kitchen to drink some water where I found my mom cooking something.
"Ma, anong meron?" I asked when I saw her cooking something special. It is one of my uncle's favorite food when he's still viable.
"It's your uncle's birthday 'nak," she replied that made me froze for a moment.
"No it can't be, that's impossible," I whispered.
"Huh? What did you say?" Mom asked.
"Nothing ma," I slowly replied then sighed.
I sat for a while thinking about how everything seems connected. From the voice I've heard and the fact that today is also his birth date.
Is everything was only a coincidence? Or it happened by chance?
"Btw, we'll go to the cemetery later," Mom said after the long pause of silence.
"'kay ma," I replied and went upstairs to take a bath.
Hours passed where I found myself walking in the cemetery with mom, dad, and my aunties.
It feels like something's off like there's something's bothering me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself.
Surprisingly, when I opened the lids of my eyes I found him, smiling sadly at me.
What happened to creep the inside of me, I can't even move my body.
"I miss you," he mentioned which made me feel more terrified than normal. I roamed my eyes around but everything seems fine. They can't see nor hear him.
I grabbed my mom's arm and hold it tightly. She worriedly looked at me, "What happened? You look pale."
I shook my head as a response, but my eyes are still locked on him. He started to walk towards me that made me step back.
I didn't notice that tears started to fell in my eyes. He touched my cheeks, I felt the coldness of his fingers that was running in my face.
Suddenly, my breathing became heavy and my vision became blurry. After a second, I passed out.
Btw, he's my uncle. My uncle died a year ago at a very young age, at my uncle who used to touched and raped me when my parents aren't around.
