The next morning was tiring for her, due to sleepless night. Nonetheless, she feel asleep after dusk- with the same feeling of someone watching.
She thought maybe it was all just a product of her imagination, because once she woke up it was all as usual as any regular day. She get dressed and left for university.
She had an awesome day there, with friends around everything becomes more exiciting.
Later that evening, when she arrived home, her mother was doing dishes, her father watching TV in the hall and a faint sound of her sister and brother arguing came from distance, which meant they are in their room arguing over something useless. She greeted her mother and father and retreated to her room, only to find her sister jumping on her bed and her brother lingering at the sides- to catch her.
This was her life- where she belonged and with the people she loved the most. She feigning grudge scolded her siblings and they dramatically left her room, only to left to her feel someone's burning gaze on her.
This time she knew, she isn't hallucinating it, this is someone real and serious. And she called out in the empty room, only to had her voice resonate back. She called again for him to come into view. No one replied, and she accepted it's futile to ask whoever is it to come into her sight.
She was about to leave her room, when she heard someone said "I can't". She didn't completely believed her ears, for she never heard a sound but somehow that "I can't", she felt it inspired on her heart.
She asked again "Who is it"?
This time she got no reply and only get agitated, for she is really haullicinating things. She really need a good sleep to get rid of whatever she is imagining.
Despite the eerie feeling of someone-or something-watching her every move. She slept the night away, exhausted from the happening of the last day.
