1 The Beginning of Nightmare

Abriella, who was currently standing on the roof of a building, was watching two men who were having a serious conversation in front of her. "Will we meet again, after you're gone?" Asked a man who was currently standing on top of a tall building behind another man who was gazing at the viewer in front of them.

The man who was standing in a sky blue shirt turned around, looking at the man who had just asked him earlier. "Huh? What are you…"

'Bugh!'

Before the question from the man in the sky blue shirt came out, his body had been pushed by the man who was talking to him who was wearing a black suit.

Abriella who witnessed this was only able to cover her mouth with both hands. Abriella's heart was beating fast because she saw someone who had just fallen from the roof of the tall building.

For some reason, Abriella suddenly felt that her body was currently falling. She looked behind, and sure enough, if she saw the ground that was getting closer to her.

'Brak!'

"Hhh… Hhh…" Abriella opened her eyes, she woke up from the nightmare she just had. She took a deep breath, and sweat dripped down his forehead. She brushed her long, loose hair back, the woman immediately got down from her bed to get drinking water.

Abriella walked into the living room of her apartment and chose to sit on the sofa to catch her still unstable breath. She turned on the television to see a program that could help her sleep soundly. But when news about the death of a businessman who committed suicide seven days ago emerged, Abriella immediately turned off the television and threw the remote at the sofa far from where she was.

Abriella was silent, trying to be calm and holding her breath even harder because she felt a panic attack. "Please… Stop this!" Abriella muttered as she squeezed her very beautiful long hair. She lifted her legs onto the sofa and hugged her, crying out in terror that night.

Before that night happened, exactly seven days ago when Abriella was hanging out with her friends in the middle of town. An incident that no one ever wanted to experience, happened to Abriella and her friends.

"I know a good place that we can visit, there provide some snacks and ice cream. How? You want to go there?" Ask one of Abriella's friends who has shoulder-length straight hair.

Abriella, who at that time was sending a message to the boss because some files turned out to be left on the office desk, did not listen to the offer from her friend. So one of them called Abriella and again asked her for approval.

"Ella… How? You want to come?" asked one of her friends who wore a thigh-length sweater. And the question made Abriella aware of her busyness, she also looked at her three friends who were now looking at her while folding her arms in front.

"Um! Didn't I tell you not to bring work into our program today?" One of Abriella's friends who had darker skin between them with her long curly hair looked at Abriella and gave her a rebuke. Abriella quickly put her cellphone into the bag she was carrying after she turned off the power.

Abriella smiled widely as she said, "Sorry guys! This is the last one, promise! My boss is really troublesome, he forgot a very important file for his meeting today with his friends. Even though I've reminded him more than six times. Huh!" Said Abriella who then felt annoyed because she remembered the behavior of the boss at the company where she currently works.

The woman who has the shorter body of the four, who was wearing a sweeter patted Abriella's shoulder then said, "Shouldn't you be looking for another company? I'm sure there are still many companies that need you as their employee." The girl told him. Abriella just smiled in response to those words because she had such a plan, but… She felt that she still had a responsibility towards the company that had served her well when she needed a job back then.

"Come on… Where are we?" Abriella did not answer her friend's words and instead invited them to go to the place they had been talking about. This managed to make the focus of the conversation of the three friends diverted and they went back to talking, as usual, walking towards the cafe that had been offered.

The four women immediately took a place in the cafe and decided what they wanted to order.

"What do you want to order? I'll order it!" Abriella said to her three friends as an apology for her breaking their terms and still doing office work when they were together.

"Hm… I want Macchiato." Said the woman with the exotic skin. Abriella nodded and tried to remember the order. He then turned to his two other friends who together mentioned their orders.

"Cappuccinos."

"Mochaccino!"

Which finally made Abriella wrinkle her forehead in confusion. She couldn't even hear clearly what the two of them had just said. So the shoulder-length short-haired woman who offered them this café stood up from her seat and said, "Okay! I'll help you order so you don't get confused!" She said to Abriella while embracing Abriella's shoulder who was a few inches taller than her.

"Thanks, Jane!" Said Abriella. The woman named Jane nodded her head and asked Jane to order whatever their two friends had just ordered.

Jane's hand on Abriella fell when Jane saw her shoelaces untied, she told Abriella to go to the counter first while she tied the laces first.

Abriella nodded and walked towards the counter where the waiters were serving the orders of the diners. But when Abriella's steps were close enough to the counter, someone hit her hard enough that Abriella took two steps back from her place.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Said the man who had just bumped into Abriella.

Abriella, who heard the apology from the person in front of her, looked up to look at the man with a bit of annoyance. But as soon as she saw the man, she fell silent in surprise.

The man in front of him who was wearing sunglasses with a tall height took off his glasses and looked at Abriella who knew who this man in front of her was.

"I am really, really sorry! How about I buy you some coffee? Miss? Hello?" The man offered to apologize again, even now he offered to buy Abriella a coffee. But Abriella, who was surprised to see the man just stared at the face of the man in front of her without blinking, so the man called her repeatedly to wake her from her daydream.

A few moments after the man tried to wake Abriella, the woman woke up from her daydream and immediately answered. "Oh, no problem! I am alright!" The answer then gave a smile to the man in front of her.

The man was surprised to see Abriella who smiled at him instead of being angry, so the now confused man also pulled the corners of his lips. "Okay… Um, you're beautiful!" The man said to Abriella who was surprised to hear that.

"A…"

"David!" The sound of the call also made the man in front of Abriella stare at the exit, while Abriella, who was about to say something, was silent and discouraged her from speaking.

The man who turned out to be named David nodded at his friend and then turned back to Abriella who was still silent there staring at her. "I have to go… Um, I hope we can meet again. Bye?" David said as he waved at Abriella and ran to his friend who had been waiting for him outside the café for a long time.

Meanwhile, Abriella, who was standing in her place, could only reply to the 'Bye' words slowly while looking at the back of the man named David.

David… Abriella knew the man, of course! Who doesn't know this man? He is David Wagner, a businessman in the out if field who has many branch stores. He is a young entrepreneur who is loved and idolized by other young people and inspires a lot.

When Abriella was silently staring at David who had left, Jane, who had finished tying her shoelaces, came over to her. "Ella? What is it?" Jane asked the silent Abriella. The woman turned to Jane and then shook her head slowly.

"Nothing… Come on!" Take it to Jane, then walk back to the counter to order coffee. Jane didn't find anything odd about Abriella, so she didn't ask again what had made Abriella silent earlier.
