The Curse Of A Certain Star

CHAPPY 20✨TWISTED FATE

"Yes, please. The usual cup of grande latte. Thank you." I hang up the call from Dream Delight Cafe. Micha was the one who took my call because I decided to just order my coffee instead of going out.

Perhaps I still have piles of a manuscript that I need to go through. A bit time saver and the good thing about it is I could still drink my favourite coffee.

I stand up from my working desk and went near Mischa to carry and caress her. She's really my stress reliever aside from my fave 'The After' playlist and coffee.

"Meowww..." She meowed at me, her tail is playfully moving while she's staring at me and blinking slowly somehow. This time she purred when I gently caress her head. I know this is her all-time favourite.

Then suddenly I heard the doorbell rang. "Oh, that was fast," I told Mischa before putting her down. I quickly put some cat food on her bowl before I went downstairs.

Right. Left. Right. Left. I hastily go down the stairs like a child. But when I reached the door I saw Mom holding my coffee already.

"Who's chasing you, Darling?" She teasingly asked. I was just excited for my coffee. Coffee = happiness.

I just chuckled before giving the money, "Here's my payment, Mom. Where's the delivery man?" I asked looking outside the door, searching for the delivery man.

"No worries, I already paid for it. Perhaps I added another grande cup for you too. You've been working hard lately."

"Aww thank you, Mom." I hugged her tightly, I'm really lucky to have a Mom like her, she's one of a kind.

"Don't forget to take a rest, Clarisse, okay? I don't want you to be sick." She gently stroke my hair like

the way she used to do when I was a child.

"Yes, Mom. I love you..." I closed my eyes for a bit before we part from the embrace.

"I love you more, my darling. Here you go." She said handing me the paper bag. "Enjoy."

"Grazie mille, Mom" [Thank you so much] I happily walked up downstairs with the two coffees in my hand.

"How about me, Hon? I need your powerful hugs too." Before I could enter my room, I smiled when I heard Dad talking to Mom downstairs. They are the original love birds, so sweet.

I placed down the paper bag on my desk and I tried searching for Mischa but I didn't see her eating although her bowl was already empty. My eyes landed on the bed and my lips automatically curved a smile.

"My Mischa's peacefully sleeping. Such a cutie." I caressed her head and body once more before continuing my job which awaits me on the desk. Good thing I have you, coffee.

Music on, sips coffee, breathe in, breathe out, and start editing manuscripts again. This is way better, getting my ass busy, at least I will have my salary once I have finished the assigned task I have.

Shortly afterward, I noticed my vision got doubled for no reason, everything is now whirling as heck. I managed to stoop on my desk with my eyes closed. But everything just went black even when I'm trying to force myself to open my eyes again.

It feels like I was running in a void of darkness, silence wraps my whole being. I'm starting to get nervous, am I dreaming again? Fudge!

When a sudden light burst out of nowhere, I didn't hesitate to go towards it. But when I successfully reached it, I saw myself in front of a familiar door.

'I'm still in the house? But why am I at the basement door?'

"Come..." I heard a whisper of a woman's voice out of nowhere. It literally gave me chills but I don't know why does my body was moving towards the door.
