In the afternoon, Sasha went out to purchase the thickest curtain for her room.
Though it was heavy, she was wholeheartedly happy with her selection. However, the moment she carried the heavy package into the elevator, she almost felt like lifting some big rock.
"Wait for a minute," She raised her voice and stopped the elevator from leaving.
She somehow carried the package and rushed into the lift,
“Can you press the top floor?” She asked the man who stood next to her.
All of sudden, her amber eyes widened in shock at the sight of the man who was standing inside the escalator.
It's him...
The man who tries to kill her in countless dreams.
The grim reaper who came for her life.
The man whose eyes were deep and profound bore into her, spreading an unknown fear all over her body.
Is he going to kill her now?
She was a person who doesn't believe in God, but for some reasons, she was forced to believe that the devil's and grim reapers existed.
If it is not, then how come she can saw the killer in her dreams in real life.
For the first time in her life, Sasha regretted the fact that she was alone. She terribly wished for someone to enter the elevator, so that the devil won't take her life.
She gulped in horror and held tightly on the shopping bag.
Other than the soft sound of the machine's movement, the entire place was filled with eerie silence.
As soon as the elevator reached the top floor, Sasha ran out of the lift room as if her life is dependent on it.
She slammed the door as soon as she got into her house and threw away the packages as she strode towards the kitchen to drink water.
Whether it is because of her fear, Sasha spilt the water onto her clothes as she gulped down the entire bottle.
Panting heavily, Sasha removed the jacket and flannel shirt she wore, only to remain in her tank top.
She plopped onto the couch and turned on the air conditioner.
It was the winter, yet sweat beads appeared on her gorgeous face as if she ran a marathon.
That man, he stood there watching her as if he was non-existent.
So, is it coming? Her doomsday is finally here?
Is there any wish left in her life that has to be fulfilled? Sasha's thoughts went wild.
She doesn’t have tons of wishes, but there are thousands of books that are yet to be read.
She promised Mrs Baker that she won’t give up on her life and stay alive, then why now?
Why did death follow her when she finally decided to live her life?
"No, it is just my mind is messing up with me," She tried to calm herself by speaking out.
"Lately I have been worried about various things and my mind is nothing but a mess right now.
Devil? There is no such thing in this world.
She believes in science, there is no God...there is no Devil...and obviously
Sasha took a few deep breaths to calm her racing heart and walked towards the bedroom.
She saw the light from next door and for some reason her palpitating heart eased up a little.
At least she is not alone on this floor.
If something happens to her, there might be someone to call an ambulance for her.
"Ding dong,"
All of sudden, the doorbell broke and the creepy silence lingered in the room.
Dragging her feet towards the door, Sasha clenched her jaws in utmost fear and trepidation.
Peeping at the door hole, Sasha's heart jumped out of her ribcage as she saw the person who was ringing the doorbell.
He is here!!!!!
Sasha stood at her doorstep, petrified to death as she looked through the peephole.
How bad is her luck that even the devil comes directly to her doorstep to take her life?
With her heart and mind in mess, Sasha did not care to open the door for the stranger.
She was simply not ready to die yet.
"Ding Dong,"
Unable to cease her curiosity, Sasha once again glanced at the man who was patiently waiting for her to open the door.
The man stood there enjoying his leisure time as if owned the entire corridor.
How long is he going to stand there?
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Sasha fished out the mobile from her jeans pocket and kept the emergency help on the dial.
If he is here to hurt her, she will directly call the police and inform them about the stranger
.
Placing her hand on the heaving chest, Sasha took a deep breath and whispered to herself to face the situation, no matter how it may turn out.
"You can do this!"
Gathering all of her courage, Sasha opened the door with a poker face.
The moment the door got open, she came face to face with the devil.
As soon as her glowing amber eyes met his obsidian orbs, an alluring smile bloomed on the man's face.
For a minute, she was left mesmerized by the breathtakingly beautiful sight before her.
