It's morning and I'm getting ready for breakfast. I took a bath, brushed my hair, grabbed a pair of shoe and wore our favorite couple shirt. I'm gonna ask her to go on a date with me. It's been a while since we got ourselves some treat and trippin' due to her condition but this time I'm not gonna take NO for an answer, I'll make sure we'll enjoy this day. Our day.

I excitedly hurried downstairs and was prepared to greet everyone with a big smile but instead I was shocked and surprised with what they're doing. I thought they're done with their drama last night. I started walking. All of them are very serious and busy decorating the whole house. Out of curiousity I asked,

" Who died? "

Everyone stopped and again stared blankly at me for a while. They're getting weirder everday.

Then a car stopped in front of our place. I peeped at the window and,

" a coffin? Seriously? What's this a shooting? You're taking this whole drama thing to a higher level eh? HEH! Well then good luck to you guys and I'm sorry am not interested. "

Then I turned to my mom's direction,

" Gotta go. I need to see Flinx. I might be home late ma. Don't wait for me."

And as i was about to open the door when finally my mom started talking,

" Kriem, Flinx is here.. "

*^________________________^*

A very wide smile was drawn at my face as I turned my back at the door and faced my mom. As I was about to ask where she is, the door opened wide and the men came in carrying the coffin entered our house.

~ Oh my! I forgot about them. Hihi ~

They placed the coffin near the altar and slowly opened it. Everyone lit their candles and again they started crying. Everything was so real. It looks real.

" Weird! The camera people and crew's not here yet. "

I murmured. I faced my mom and got the chance to ask her,

" Ma, where's Flinx? I really thought she's still sleeping. She's not answering any of my messages and calls. Well good thing she's here that I don't need to drive anymore to her place."

Then mom said,

" C-can you just try to make a call again? "

" Yeah sure!"

Without second thought I dialed her number and then the other line started ringing. At the same time a familiar ringtone echoed all over the place.

I looked and searched where it was coming from and it led me to the white box placed near the alter. Stunned near the coffin I looked back to my mom like a child asking for help but she just made a sign saying GO.

I don't want to move but my feet slowly takes a step towards it and as i nearly approached the said thing I saw from afar that the coffin was not empty. Someone was really lying inside it. And I don't like what I'm feeling right now. My heart, It seems like its not functioning well again just like what happened in my nightmare.
