Kanita was staying in the bedroom.
The three windows were closed. Also the curtains were shut to hide darkness outside from eyes.
On the bed, the young lady covered her head to toes with the blanket. Her mind whispered 'don't care' without a pause. However, in the blanket her eyes didn’t shut and her ears still opened to all the little small sounds.
Then a sound CREAK happened. Kanita halted her breathing and listened carefully. CREAK. The sound came from the cabinet next to her bed.
‘Oh no. It is close to me.’
Full of scariness, she shook her body inside the blanket like she had malaria. She wondered if it was the red dress lady or the red skeleton. She tried to hold her breaths and she whispered for help in her mind. Though she didn’t know which one was haunting her, that thing made her know what they were doing. They moved from the cabinet to her bed, then they sat at the edge of her bed, at her feet, then they sang a song. According to the voice, it was a woman’s. So it should be the ghost lady, Kanita thought.
The female ghost sang a few songs, then she sobbed within a very sad tone. Listening to her voice, Kanita felt that the ghost had sorrow in her life. It should be a painful memory and it seemed related to a love story.64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtW8sRQ1je
After a while, the sobbing voice disappeared. Kanita tried to listen carefully to find if she was really gone.
No sound. Silent. Quiet.
Still, Kanita did not trust the ghost. She kept waiting for more seconds, then she uncovered the blanket slowly from head to under eyes and looked at her feet. She saw nothing there. Yet she didn’t open the blanket, she rolled her eyes around and she saw the ghost was sitting on the chair before the makeup table mirror, brushing hair with her comb.
Body of Kanita re-trembled, and her teeth and hands were frozen like she was in a freezing storage making her unable to move the blanket to cover head. At the present, she could only look at the ghost with her heart almost exploding from her chest.
It didn’t know why the ghost didn’t look at her. She focused on brushing her hair for about ten seconds, then she put the comb on the table and walked to the window. She didn’t open it but it opened itself. The ghost stood there for a while then she jumped.
Quickly, Kanita kicked the blanket out and ran towards that window and hurriedly closed it without looking anywhere. Her heart was still beaten so fast. She put her hand on her chest trying to calm it down. Then she saw the door of the dress cabinet opening, she ran to it and closed it immediately. Oh god, her heart almost came out.
Kanita sat down on the floor, facing back to the cabinet. There was a clock on the wall and she saw it was 4am.
‘Why did I meet this?’
She covered her face and sobbed. It was her first time and experience staying with such a horrible and scary thing. She felt it was hard to explain her feelings in that situation. However, she knew she had to be strong or she thought she would not be able to go back to meet her parents.
Kanita used her hands to wipe tears from cheek. Then she sat on the bed by hugging her knees till she heard the sound of the car coming into the yard. She looked at the clock; it was 6:00 am; so it meant Aunt Dari and Mok should be arriving.
‘Morning comes. I can sleep now.’
After thinking, she crawled her body down then dropped her head on the pillow and pulled a blanket to cover her body. As she closed her eyes, she fell asleep suddenly.
