Until now I am still thinking, "what was that?", and "how?".
There's so many questions in my mind right now that seek to find answers, but how am I supposed to solve my case if unusual things keep happening to me?. . .
It started about 3 days ago, when I thought that I am just going to spend the whole weekend at home, doing the things i usually do, but that day was different.
I wake up so early, feeling the urge to puke. My stomach was rumbling, I can feel that there is something in my mouth that wants to go out, I can taste that sour liquid running out from my throat. From my bed, I rushed to the toilet, It was so quick that I can not even remember how I get there.
I started throwing up, and so it drained my strength down, I feel so weak that time, I feel so cold but I am sweating, I can hear the sound I make everytime I puke. As I felt that I was already empty, when there's nothing coming out from my mouth, I washed my face with the cold water from the faucet to pull my self up. I was still not feeling well when I get back to my bed. I covered my self with blanket. I feel so dizzy that time, its like everything around me turns up side down, and so I just closed my eyes and tried to calm myself.After a few minutes, I suddenly felt this vibrations all over my body that made me soaked with my sweat. The next thing I knew, I was alright.
Realising what just happened to me. I imediately look for food and some medicines. I'm acutally taking care of my self since my mom's so busy with her work, I don't blame her if we're not even close , I know she don't have time for me.
After that, I went to the store down the street, to buy an energy drink. I'm not used to consume such product but in my situation, I probably need it badly.
Along my way home, I also felt the same feeling earlier before. I started sweating even if I am cold. My vision dimmed as I cross the street. . .. . .
I wake up in a room I am not familiar with. Lying in a bed feeling uncomfortable. Then I saw an old man sitting beside me, smiling, "you're finally awake."
"Who are you? Where am I?", I asked wondering how did I end up here.
"You've been sleeping for two days! Don't you know that?! AHAHAHAHAHA!. . .", he replied with a very weird laugh. I dont know what's so funny but thinking what he just said, "I was sleeping for two days?! What in the world?", I then rushed my way back home.
I was so afraid back then, that my mom would kill me for not coming home for two days. But I guess I am wrong.
I stopped in front of our house when I heared voices chatting and laughing. It's coming from the home where I live. Five steps away from the door, I can see the window next to it, I can see my mom talking with someone. They are having fun, based on the atmosphere I feel from the house. I start to wonder, "who's with mom?".
My mom dont usally bring her visitors, she's not that kind of person. It's also impossible that she's with her suitor, after my dad died, she promised she will never love another man.
While evaluating the situation, I heared the door suddenly creeked open. Looking straight in front of me was a guy standing ang staring at me. I was so shocked when I realized that that person looked like me. I heared my mom behind him, "What are you doing here? Why did you suddenly leave me there? Its dark and cold outside."
"Mom! He's not me!" I shouted.
But the only thing I got as a reply was the smirked he gaved me before they closed the door.
. . .THE END
