Hailey's POV


Agad akong napabangon matapos akong balutin ng liwanag. I felt my head spin dahil sa biglaan kong pagbangon.


I looked at my clock and saw that it is only 2 in the morning so I tried to go back to sleep again but was unable to.


Umalis ako sa higaan at binuksan ang pinto para lumabas


Sumilip muna ako sa hallway na sobrang dilim "Uhhh... it's too dark" reklamo ko sa sarili ko at nagdesisyon na isara ulit ang pinto at pumunta na lang sa may terrace


I opened the glass door and was greeted by a cool wind making me shiver "Brrrr... ang lamig" 



"Haaa... So refreshing" I sighed and closed my eyes to feel the wind 


I stayed there for a few minutes before deciding to get inside again, not until something caught my eye. I walked closer to the railing of the terrace to make sure I'm seeing things wrong.


"Who's that?" tiningnan ko ng mabuti yung taong nakatayo sa may garden ko. Nakatayo lang siya habang nakatingin sa direksyon ko and for some reason I felt a chill run down my back


Napansin ko na may pagkakapareho siya ng katawan kay Elias and thought that it was him so I tried calling him "Elias?!" malakas kong tawag sa kaniya but he didn't move nor reply to me calling him


He was so quiet that I started to get nervous.


At this moment, naalala ko yung horror movie na napanood ko na may ganitong scene kaya agad akong tumakbo papasok ng kwarto ko at siniguradong naka lock ang lahat ng bintana at pinto


To distract me from thinking about the horror movie and the scene from earlier, I decided to finish some of my work na hindi ko nagawa kagabi


I started to work on it and didn't notice the time. Narinig ko na lang ang pagkatok sa pinto ko


"Ms. Hailey I'm coming in" mahinang sabi ni Ria at binuksan ang pinto


Pagpasok niya ay halatang nagulat siyang gising na ako "Good morning Ria" I greeted her with a smile while still holding my pen


"Ms. Hailey?.... Ah good morning to you too" she looked at the stack of papers on my work table "It seems like you woke up early today, perhaps, did you not sleep well?" magalang niyang tanong 


"Ah don't worry, nagising lang talaga ako ng mas maaga ngayon" sabi ko at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa ko


"How long have you been awake, Ms. Hailey?" tanong niya habang binubuksan ang mga bintana at inaayos ang kwarto ko


I looked at the clock and it was already 4 in the morning "I've been awake for 2 hours now" 


Huh?!Tahanan ng mga kuwento. Tumuklas ngayon
