Part 12

Fog caused darkness all over the town…everything was unclear …

It was raining even much harder...

There were no passersby on the street, or even bystanders on the bus terminal.

Coffee shops were nowhere to be found.

Establishments were closing early due to the heavy rain and slight flood.

Marianne  was running as fast as she could to avoid the heavy rain.

She doesn’t know why she’s running and why she’s all wet.

All she knows is that her stomach was already complaining.

She has nowhere to go because all of the establishments and restaurants are closing…until she found a familiar building.

“I’ve been here before…well uhmm..it doesn’t matter at least I’ll be fine here”

She went inside the building and found out that there’s still an open restaurant…

“Nice...I think I better rest here for a while…”

She situated herself on one of the vacant seats inside the restaurant…

The place was sort of special..

She looked around and noticed that the place is very romantic...

There are candlesticks and red roses on every table, as if there is a wedding ceremony to be celebrated…

“This place doesn’t suit me…but whatever~ I’m already starving”

The music began to play.

She immediately stared at the side and found that someone plays the piano…

“This song sounds so familiar…” she said in her mind.

Everyone inside the restaurant listened with awe and amazement…

This…song...is….

Her eyes began to close when she heard someone answered….

“FAMILIAR?...Isn’t it?”

“yes..” She replied.

She slowly opened her eyes and couldn’t see anything…

It was dark …and she found herself already standing.

She looked left and right but the place she went in a while ago was different from the place she’s now.

She took three steps forward to know where she is. She is in a rooftop.

“I wonder how I came here.” She asked herself.

Then the soft voice answered…

“I brought you here.”

She looked behind her; someone familiar was walking towards her.

She could only see its shadow.

Her heart began to pound faster.

”Oh my…Katrina!..is that you?..” she asked.

It’s Katrina, her long time lost best friend that she missed so much.

Her tears began falling as the figure became clearer and clearer.

She couldn’t contain herself. She misses her friend very much that she ran towards her and extended her arms. When she was about to embrace her….

”STOP!!!!! NO!! DON’T TOUCH HER!”

Then she saw that someone started to run and grab her…
