Shadow (the mystery)

First night in seattle

Sarah

"Mam, you should be thankful we're giving you this apartment according to your budget. You can't find another one in this range".
"It's okay,I will manage. Thank you so much" I said to my homeowners assistant after listening to his lecture about this apartment.

I have to clean this shit on my own. This
apartment is so dusty . It seems like no one has ever lived here. I don't know when. Currently, I don't have money to buy some  expensive apartment or anything. I need to focus on my new job here . Seattle feels good and windy. I moved here for my job. That's actually what my parents think in India. But I know the reason and, of course, my lovely boyfriend, ughh my ex-boyfriend knows the reason, because he is the one who betrayed me . Who cheated on me with my best friend? I cleared my mind from the shit they had done and climbed into my bed. I need to move on from my past.

I slept for almost five hours. I felt exhausted. My eyelids fell down again, then suddenly I heard something like someone knocking on my door . "Who's here". My sleepy brain calculated the situation and then, suddenly, one more knock, "thud -thud". I jumped out of my bed and hung on to the window to see if someone was actually out there. 
Hello !!!
Can you open the door ?
"Mr Ronan, send me"
"But who's Mr Ronan ? I asked him.
He stared at me for a good 5 seconds. After he'd done  staring at me, he said; "Ronan the homeowner Mr Ronan."
"Ohh Mr Ronan, his name is Mr Ronan. I don't remember. He never told me his last name. I'm really sorry," I said.
"He sent me to fix your main door lock. He said your lock wasn't working properly."
I opened the door and welcomed him with a weak smile . He smiled back, then he started  fixing my door and I sat on the dining chair. It's a small apartment. There are two rooms and an open kitchen attached with a dining table . Both rooms have beds. I took the bigger one. It has a big window with a breathtakingly beautiful view of Seattle. The other one is small with a single bed .

". It's done , I should go now". He said.
"Thank you,... how much is your service?" I asked ...My inner soul was praying for fewer bills.
"Mam, it's already paid . Mr Ronan told me to fix it."
"Ohh he's a gentleman. Tell him I really appreciate his concern", I said.

I just want to sleep. It's 11 pm already. When I lay down on my bed I felt a little uncomfortable like I was being watched by someone. I ignored the thoughts and rolled my body with a blanket. I have been sleeping like this since childhood. My dad used to roll me in a blanket like that. I miss my parents ......

I woke up again. This time I was hell sleepy but my room smelled like dark, bold, deep,overpowering ,masculine. I twitched my lips unconsciously "umm" I moaned, then another smell hit my nose. "Cigarettes ." I opened my eyes as fast as I could and I heard someone's footsteps. My mind went blank and I didn't know what to do. My cell phone "where is my cell phone" outside on the dining table."fuck" I panicked ....... There were only two noises, the footsteps and my heartbeat, but the footsteps were getting closer to my room. My eyes were watering from fear. Suddenly, footsteps stopped at my doorframe  and everything went silent like before, before I woke up. For a moment I thought it was a dream, but then I looked at my door and I froze.....there'was a "shadow"
