"So that's it, it doesn't matter last night when I spent the night with Roxelle e I was just surprised when the one on their second floor suddenly thundered e there was no one there then roxelle and I were still on the first floor" Donna told Divine and Aina
I continue to write in my diary while my three friends continue the story about the phenomenon that happened to donna overnight at our house.
"Seriously? It's scary, how about you, Roxelle ??" Aina said to me and she shook me
I continue to write in my diary even though aina is calling me
"Hey girl, Roxelle Dela Cruz!" divine says so no choice that's why I looked at them
"What do you need?" I asked and donna rolled her eyes
"Aren't you scared of what happened last night? You just previously said that you saw a dead maid on the second floor of your house" Donna said while acting that she is very afraid
Whatever!!
I just raised my eyebrow at them because why should I be scared eh I'm used to seeing that in our house
Apart from that, our house has been around for a long time, my ancestors built our house in year 1905, so my family takes care of it.
And I'm sure that our house have ghost or lost souls with us, Since my childhood I have seen them.
"Why should I be scared? They can't hurt me" I replied while writing again in my diary
They just sighed at my answer before talking again. They know I've been seeing ghosts for a long time so I'm sure they're used to my answers to their extraordinary questions.
When I got tired of writing in the diary, I decided to put it in my wooden box and bury it in the pit next to the mango tree. Here I intend to keep this diary so that in case I want to go back, I will just go here.
"I gotta go!" I said and they nodded
"Bye bye, be careful roxelle and take care always" they said and I just nodded
Ever since I was a child I have a psychic ability, here I experience seeing souls and feeling their presence even when they are hiding.
I don't know how I got there when no one in my family has that ability. Weird.
In the middle of my walk while bent over I suddenly bumped into the back of a man I did not know
"I'm sorry" I said once again continuing to walk
The weird, it was like I felt something strange with the man I bumped into
I've never felt that in my entire life!
What's with that? Am I just being paranoid? Or what?
I was just shaken as I walked, and soon I returned to our house
"Roxelle my child, come and eat first" mama said to me
"Yes" I answered and I sat in the empty seat
Mama and I ate quietly at the dinner table, she didn't make me talk while eating so even if I had to say something I would finish our meal before I said that.
When I was a child, my father died, so my mother is the only one who keeps me alive. Mama didn't tell me the whole story of how papa died
All she said was that I shouldn't ask any more questions because the day will come when I will be the one to find out without her saying.
After eating, I cleaned up what we had eaten before going to my room
"Roxelle !! I'm leaving, don't leave the house dirty" mama told me
"Yes!" I answered and I heard the door lock signal that she had left
After I cleaned my room I thought of going to grandma's room, I haven't been able to go in there for over 13 years since grandma died.
Mama doesn't want me to go there for reasons I don't know, but curiosity is eating me up now so even if she doesn't want to and if she wants, I'll go into grandma's room for a while.
When I got inside I was surprised because it was clean, I thought it was very dirty and very dusty grandma's room but mama was cleaning it
I was five years old when I last got in here, my grandma's favorite grandson. She said that she also had grandchildren but she did not clarify about that. Like mama, she also kept it a secret from me because I would also find out about it
As I looked around....I was distracted by the hidden door.
What's inside of it? Why is the design like that?
Because I was curious I turned it around causing me to fall inside that room
When I fell, I was exposed to the dark surroundings .. it wasn't that dark because there was a candle on the bamboo table, next to it there was a lamp so I took it and enabled it to reflect the surroundings of this secret room.
When I saw that so many old papers were exposed to me, there were books that also traced the oldness here. I'm sure it's time for grandma to visit it last because if mama visits it, it should be clean since she likes to clean.
As I walked around I couldn’t help but be amazed, the size of this room to be abandoned
What's with there and they just abandoned it and why when I was a child I did not notice it?
As I was walking around I thought of going to the bookshelf to get a book but when I got a book I almost had a heart attack from what I saw.
"Who are you ?! And what are you doing h-here ???!" I stuttered and was afraid to question
I'm scared because it might be a ghost later but I can't feel the energy of a ghost in him so I strongly think that he is also a human being, but at least. It's amazing and why is it here .. where did he enter ?!
"You're the one I should ask, why are you here?" He asked me back
I couldn't answer his question, all I could do was stare at his appearance and posture. Here I cannot help but be amazed
He is tall, his skin color is just okay, his hair style is proper hair cut and ...
Old style American attire? Weird! But he was handsome.
"Aren't you forbidden to go to your grandmother's room?" He asked
"Y-yes but I'm just curious" I replied "but you? Who are you?" I added
"Luke ... You can call me luke by the way, and starting from now we'll be friends" he said so I turned around
"Where did you go? How did you get in here and how did you, grandma, get in here without us knowing?" I will ask
He laughed a little and only now did I realize how cute it was
Wait ... Did i just .... Nevermind.
"Just one question, Roxelle" he said so my eyes widened
"H-huh? You know me?" I asked as my index finger pointed at myself
He nodded and at the same time he looked around the room where we were
"Yup, who doesn't know you? By the way I'm coming on this secret passage oh" he said as he turned the door and opened up to me our garden with so many vines because it wasn't fixed but good thing it's safe to hang out here and there are no poisonous animals like snakes
"Never in my whole life would I have thought that there was a secret door to this room other than entering grandma's room" I replied in amazement.
"Anyway, how are you, grandma? Why didn't mama or grandma tell or tell me about you before?" I was wondering the question and he just smiled at me
"I'll explain to you that soon." He only answered so I couldn't help but stare
I was about to speak when he suddenly spoke
"But promise me that no one will know this except you, don't tell me to your family until I tell you" he said
"And I'll make sure that at exactly 11:59 of 39th day, I'll tell you everything to enlighten you" he said so I just nodded
"Promise" I said and he smiled at me
Argh this guy is so weirdo.
