The driver opened the door for me. "Come down, ma'am. I'll take care of your things."

"Thank you."

I thought I'd be greeted by a group of personnel to guide me to my assigned room. I didn't expect that Ninang would personally welcome me.

She greeted me with a smile"Aya. You're really big, it's like I just hugged you and you're so small as a child."

"Look at you now, you've grown into a beautiful lady." She added.

I blushed at her compliment. "Not really. I just matured because of my age."

"Oh, our baby is still shy. Come on, let's go inside. I'll take you to your room."

"Sure."

I followed her as she make her way to the lobby. She was greeted by the workers and guests she met.

She introduced me as his child. Making her employees greet me after her.

Embarrassed I just smiled at them as a greeting. I'm not required to do a formal greetings, right?

We rode the elevator together with some servants who carried stuffs, which I guess is for cleaning the room where I'll be staying. Ninang keeps on talking. I can't answer much because I'm ashamed to say the wrong thing. "By the way, how are you? I heard what happened days ago. Are you feeling well?" she asked.

I stepped forward a bit. "I'm fine, Ninang. I feel fine. And, well, I'm not too upset. It's far from the intestines." I joked.

She laughed at my joke.

Even our fellow workers laughed at our joke. Though I think it's corny.

The elevator stopped at the thirteenth floor.

I feel the sudden chill beside me, as if someone passed by like a swift wind. But instead of panicking, I composed myself.

I shrugged it off and just ignored it. Besides, I have a lot of friends and I'm sure my godmother won't leave me alone in case anything happens to me again.

I raised my head up and walked confidently, bragging my designer clothes, accessories and bag.

As a matter of fact, what a waste of my clothes if I'm just praning. "Here's your room." My godmother announced as we arrived in front of a room, labelled as room 757.

I watched the door open. My godmother used a card as a key. When the room finally opened, I looked at the whole thing. "Here, take this. It's yours, hide it and it might get lost. You can't get into that." she reminded me.

"Yes."

She handed it to me. I accepted it right away and put it in the bag I was carrying.

"Come inside. And when you can rest first. Your driver already brought your luggage here."

"Thank you."

She didn't take long and left me to get things ready and rest.

I decided to take a bath first before taking a break. I took my phone with me in the bathroom. As usual I just put my cellphone in the sink.

I let my playlist shuffle from one song to another.

Suddenly remembering that one incident before, I went silent for a few seconds, trying to listen to the sound of the surrounding.

"Aya, oh my gosh don't be paranoid again." I reminded myself again.

Good thing, I finished doing my bath routine without another episode of weird stuffs bothering my peaceful rhythm.

I soaked my body in a tub filled with lavender scented water, on top were white rose petals.

I even put some bubbles and played with it for a little while.
