Chapter 5 (2/2)

“Goodnight Allen.” Jessica smiled.

“Goodnight Jessica.” he answered.

[Allen’s POV]

I watch her leaving from her window, she looked at me and smiled before entering the car with her family. She said she will be going to America.

After that, I look at the calendar. She encircled the date when she will be back. That is the day after a month.

I am always alone in her room. All things that I could play with in her room, I already used. I don’t know, I think I am already used having her with me. Unlike the old times, even though I spent a lot of years alone,I am not this impatient.

Until the day of her supposed return came, one month has already pa.s.sed. I didn’t see her silhouette. The child didn’t arrived.

Many years pa.s.sed, I could see her room which is now full of dust. The room becomes dirty. The year when she left was 2000 and now it’s already 2012.

I was under the bed, writing on the dusted floor when I heard the door opened. Someone entered the room that’s why I hide.

The one who entered is not Jessica, it seems like she is a maid because she cleans the room. She left when she’s done.

Days pa.s.sed and I am thinking. They didn’t sell this house right? If so, then it seems another person will be owning this bed. Looks like the child would no longer come.

“I am bored!” I shouted. That’s when the door opened again.
