"What are you saying?" My voice was hallow.
"Yes, five years ago another of your countrymen was my tenant. Dona fell in love with him.
But soon after difference rose between them. They quarelled often.
One day their fight took an ugly turn and her husband cut Dona's throat with a kitchen knife and she died."
"Since then Dona's spirit remains hell bent upon taking revenge upon the young men, especially of Oriental origin.
You are lucky to escape with an injury.
The other young men were made so miserable by her spirit, no single tenant survived a week in that flat"
"You didn't complain of anything being wrong, so we presumed that her revenge was over. That's why we didn't warn you."
"Now you must vacate the Apartment at once to enable us to seal it" Mr Kaiter wiped his tears.
I was in a state of shock. I moved back to my apartment like a dead man walking.
I packed my things with an empty feeling.
So, it was Dona's spirit that I fell in love with? And did the spirit also love me?
The questions echoed through my empty mind.
I made up my mind to return home as soon as possible.
Until my my booking for a seat in home bound plane was confirmed, I could stay with a friend or relative.
Down at the bottom I looked back up to bid goodbye to my apartment.
I thought Dona was waving at me from the window.
Her blue eyes were tearful.
I waved back with a heavy heart and came on the road.
I moved forward wondering if my friends and my relatives would believe me story if I told them.
Would they ever believe that the scar on my arm was a testimony to my story related to a dead girl who was betrayed?
