It feels so strange how that stupid dream can affect me in such way. My whole life I've been having a nightmare but none of them really triggered my panic attack but why? what's special about this one? and more to that, why do I feel like I know that girl? who is she?
Out of nowhere, a thought came into her head, 'I never see my childhood pictures'
She raise to her feet then walk to the empty room, sitting there on the cold floor while trying to take out everything on the box that was sent to her anonymously few days ago. It was just a bunch of papers, a shabby doll and an album.
Moving voluntarily, her hand reaches for the album and begin to flip through it; the first page was a picture of a young couple who just got married based on how they both were showing off their ring. Going onto the next page she watches how they grow older but happier until she notice how that woman's stomach getting bigger and bigger each page she passed through. After that is a picture of a baby who she concluded as the couple's kid because that woman is no longer having a big tummy.
The kid is having a beautiful wavy-red hair, kinda remind her of Merida but less messy, which kinda remind her of someone she know. She watched as that little girl grow and when the kid reaches the age of 10 she saw her holding the doll that is in front of her. Then when the girl turn 12, it struck her. 'wait, mom? dad?' it is the picture of Alexa's parents and now she came to realization that she used to have the same wavy hair that she has, until few months ago when Jasmine decided that she needs a makeover.
'then who was the person that sent this? why do they need to make it anonymous?' there are so many question inside her head but no answer. It was 2am when she scrabble into the box and now she is getting sleepy and sleepier so she decided to call it a day and go to sleep. She bring the doll with her even though she knew that it's dirty.
She was about to sleep when she hear a sound of a crumbled paper so she begin to look because the sound is coming from the doll. There under the dim light she found a paper inside the doll's pocket that made her ran away from her condo.
' still having a nightmare about me? '
