Chapter 61 - Disappeared! (1/2)

”Hop on!”

The door was flung opened and I nearly choke when I saw the person who sat behind the wheel.

It was Senior Hani!

”Quick!” He urged when I had not made any move yet.

He did not need to urge me further because I had already rushed into his car and put on my seatbelt. As soon as I sat inside the car, he stepped on the accelerator and the car ran straight into the gate hastily.

Slowly, I regained my sense and the fear that was clutching my heart disappeared. I looked back to the dim street, but couldn't notice the odd that caused the fear inside me just now.

Frowning my eyebrows, I straightened my back and looked ahead.

”It's still there, hiding in the dark.” Senior Hani said, successfully made me turned my head to him.

”Senior, you can see it, too?” I asked in disbelief.

”Is it so strange for me to be able to see them?” His tone was as if he was unhappy with me questioning him.

Afraid that I might offend this grumpy senior, I hastily shook my head and waved my hands in rejection. ”No no no, of course no.”

Silence fell between us as he drove towards my dorm. I had no time to ask why he knew where I lived. I didn't want to provoke this grumpy man, so when we reached my dorm, I hastily got down and thanked him. He only grunted his response before he drove away, as I expected.

I watched the starless dark sky. It seemed like there would be another heavy rain at night. The air still smelt damp and cold from the earlier rain, yet another one was coming. As I watched the sky, I saw something moved towards me, as dark as the sky, perfectly concealing its form, but not its presence. It reminded me of what scared me back then in the campus.

Is it the same thing?

Shivering slightly, I hastily stepped into the dorm and walked fast into my own room. From the balcony, I could still see the strange shadow moved slowly in the dark, as if looking around for something. Surely it was not looking for me, right?

Before the worse came to worst, I decided to hide myself within my room.

”I'm home.” I said as I closed the door behind my back.

”Oh, welcome back!”

As usual, Tom would welcome me with his excited smile plastered on his pale face. I smiled at the sight of him. The fear I felt just now dissipated without a trace.

”Did something happen?” He asked, concerned.

Many happened today, but I wouldn't tell him that. So, I shook my head and walked towards him, putting my books and my bag on my desk, before I plopped myself on my bed.

I stared at him. ”Why don't you follow me out tomorrow?” I asked.

”I would love to, if I could. The thing is... I can't go anywhere beyond the house.” He sighed.

”What? Why? I thought you didn't want to come because I dated Senior Rizal.”

”That's right. That was my reason why I stayed at that time. And I thought I couldn't control myself from punching him if I saw him again, that's why I still didn't follow you even after you broke up with him.”

He looked hesitant to continue. So, I peered through his face and urged him.
