Aaliyah was just another university student. She lived with her parents and a brother and a sister, nonetheless she felt lonely at home.
And one night, she felt restless, she can't sleep. She was thinking about her life, how she had everything but she never did ever felt content.
Then she felt someone's presence nearby. She looked around but found none. Maybe she was dreaming.
There was someone- a man someone as beautiful who only can exist in one's dreams. He was there- talking to her. The first time she felt his presence, she felt complete as if all the missing pieces of her heart they finally collide.
But who was he? Startled she called her mother. She screamed until a hand shook her hard enough to bring her back to reality.
It was her sister shaking her. She told her to remain quiet else she will wake everyone up. She tried to explain her sister there is someone, she knew it, she can feel it. But her every explanation was in vain. Instead her sister told her to sleep peacefully this time and don't worry she is just the next door. But that night, she cannot sleep. The feeling of someone watching was very strong and she can't shake it away.
