I frowned and stared at the open door of my room as if it was about to close because of my staring.

I'm sure I closed it earlier before I even ate and opened emails. Why is it open now? I didn't notice anyone entering or passing by.

With creased brows, I let out a heavy sigh.

Maybe I just forgot that I opened it earlier and I just didn't close it right away.

Calm down, Aya.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid again.

It's nothing, Aya. It's just your imagination; just close it. "

I keep talking to myself.

Maybe if someone could see me now that I'm all alone, they might even tell me I'm crazy.

Not that I care about others' opinions about me.

No matter who you meet, who speaks, even if it's alone and there's no one to talk to, it's just two. It's either that person is not in his or her right mind or is talking to an invisible entity that only he or she can see.

Instead of overthinking about the weirdness of my suddenly open door,

I just chose to lock it again.

Maybe later is what I can think of again.

After closing the door, I quickly put the laptop and some notes in its neat compartment.

I brushed my teeth again and combed my hair for about three minutes before finally settling down to sleep.

My bed feels fluffier tonight.

I noticed it seemed colder now, so I adjusted the aircon first. When I was already satisfied with my room's temperature, I let my random thoughts flow while stupidly looking at the ceiling until I felt my eyelids getting heavier.

A few minutes later, I was already in a deep slumber.

I woke up the next day because of the noise of the alarm clock. I didn't want to get up yet, so with my eyes closed, I reached for the alarm clock on my bedside table and irritably turned it off. I also have a few papers to sign. I will only enter my office at the company at six-thirty.

The gallery will soon be filled with my collections.

Maybe I can just let Lily take over for me, even just for today. I will go into the company first and finish what needs to be done there.

I fell asleep a bit but woke up again when the alarm went off again, five minutes after I turned it off.

I squeezed my little heart-shaped throw pillow out of annoyance. I wouldn't have gotten up yet because it was still early, in case I lost my drowsiness and was replaced by annoyance due to the loud alarm clock.

I might just be in a bad mood all day, so I just forced myself to get up. My movement was even slower with the movement of the clock hand. I also ended up listening to a few songs while soaking in the tub.

I am currently facing the large mirror while combing my naturally wavy hair. It is pitch black and gets brighter every time the sun shines. I don't like to put any lipstick on my face because, apart from being irritated, I also don't know how to apply it.

I just put on a simple lip tint that is not too thick and just a little baby powder that I could put on my face.

I was finishing combing when Mommy knocked.
